I woke in a dark, tent on a handmade stretcher that had been propped up with some books. My chest ached and the world seemed slightly out of focus. Voices whispered outside, making me curious. I knew that whoever had put me here didn't want me to move but it was so tempting. Eventually curiosity got the better of me and I stood up, limping across to the other side of the tent. I stuck my head outside. It was amazing. The endless rows of bushes and crops made my mouth water just thinking about the fruits and vegetables that must grow here. People wandered around with baskets collecting the produce. In the distance I could see what looked like a training ground for warriors. I drew my head back inside, completely stunned.
Any ideas on where the nightshade could come in? I thought it sounded like a good title but haven't a clue how to incorporate it in the story!
