Lost Creek Hollow All good things are wild & free

Bella decided after a long while of deliberation that the berries she'd found wouldn't kill her. There was no way to be 100 percent sure, but she wasn't afraid to try out her luck. One way or another she would have to make sure this plant didn't pose a threat to her pack-mates, and so she toook a single berry and allowed it's bittersweet flavour to flood her mouth.

All of Bella focused on her mouth alone. At the slightest hint of a negative reaction to it she would seek abundant water and probably yarrow to force herself to vomit and expel the poison from her body. That was when a sudden noise startled her. She gasped, and her heart stopped for a fraction of a second during which her face showed how terrified she was, only to turn around and find a friendly face. The one of her leader. Bella relaxed when she recognized Harlyn. "Oh, dear!" she breathed, and then laughed.

The berry didn't seem to make any effect on Arabella, so she decided it was a safe plant, and actually very delicious. It was safe to lower the guard now, so Bella focused on the Alpha. She was carrying what was undeniably mint and the girl remembered what Mordecai had said about Harlyn being a healer.

Bella's own tail waved amiably behind her, and her ears fell flat on her head respectfully. "Sorry, I was a bit nervous about these berries..." she said with an apologetic smile.
