Cautionary Tale: always make sure kits have enough food

Story:

Cherrykit wouldn't stop whining about being hungry, so Fernkit had an idea. She went to the apple tree in camp and gathered up a bunch of fallen green apples. She gave them to him to eat, which he did, but then he got really sick. Cherrykit didn't get better, half a moon later, Fernkit was at his vigil.

Ferntangle noticed a tortoiseshell crossing the LeafClan border, and she pounced. The tortoiseshell's head hit against a tree and it bent in a weird way, there was a sickly snap that echoed through the woods. Ferntangle ran.

Then, her first two litters starved. She claimed that it was Cherrykit getting his vengeance when really, it was her nor feeding them nearly enough. She hated all her other kits except for Ottertail, that didn't save him though.

Additional Information:

--Submission by @jackisbored​

--Ferntangle and Badgerstrike are second cousins.

--Cherrykit never cursed her first litters, they were both born during prey shortages and Ferntangle didn't feed them enough.

--She sounds like Wendie Malick.
