It was a chilly Leaf-fall morning and Rainheart, medicine cat of StreamClan. She awoke after having an awful dream about many cats dying. Rainheart rushed out of her den to the sound of a cat Yowling in destress. She looked around hurridly and headed to the noise, which was coming from the apprintice den, she ran in, Frostpaw was lying on her back, yowling in pain. 'Frostpaw! What's the matter?' Frostpaw opened her eyes and the yowling sofened to a raspy mew, 'when I woke up my belly hurt so badly that-' Frostpaw suddenly cringed, 'That all I could do was call for help.' Rainheart thought for a moment, then said, 'What did you eat yesterday?' Frostpaw looked up and answerd, 'I had a mouse. I found it dead, but I smelled it first, and it wasn't sick, it smelled normal. Is that what made me sick?' 'It could be, You should NEVER eat anything you find dead, Frostpaw! I'll be right back, after we get through this you are in so much trouble.' Rainheart ran to the medicine cat den and pulled out some yarrow, runing back to the apprintice den, she shoved the herbs over to her apprintice, and then brought her a large leaf from a bush outside. 'Eat that yarrow, it will make you vomit, make sure you vomit on the leaf though, not on the bedding.' 'Yes Rainheart' said Frostpaw, cringeing from the taste as she swallowed the bitter herb. As Frostpaw began to vomit Rainheart examened it. At first she didn't see anything, but then as the stuff Frostpaw had eaten before the yarrow came out, Rainheart had to refrain from crying out in shock. There was blood. Lots of blood. She searched further and saw a small, sharp, metallic thing. She pulled it out with her paw and felt a sharp pain, it had cut her paw. 'Where did you find this mouse, Frostpaw?' 'Near twoleg place, why?' 'I think the mouse you ate swallowed something, some twoleg thing. It may of cut up your stomach.' 'what are you going to do?' asked Frostpaw. 'I'll be right back.' Rainheart ran out of her den into the clearing. 'Emberspark?!' she called. The orange and white tabby ran up to Rainheart. 'Yes rainheart?' 'Emberspark, I need your help. Frostpaw is sick. I need you to find the herb Marygold and get it's leaves.' 'I think I know what that looks like. I'll go look.' 'Thank you Emberspark.' (end of chapter 1)
