and eat a few of the berries

As you swallow the sweet, dark-red berries, the chief's son lets out a chuckle. Alarmed, you look up, and he grins evilly. You drop the berries in fear.

"Poison?" You think, as you lean back in the cage. You start to hyperventilate in panic, and try to spit out whatever you swallowed, to no avail. As your head begins to spin, you think, "This is it, poisoned by a bunch of savages!"

You crumple to the floor, the world spinning.
