User blog:Qibli77/TulipClan Fanfiction Chapter 3

This is chapter 3 of my TulipClan fanfiction.

Shinestar peered down from the Talloak and looked out over her Clan. TulipClan was thriving, and it was all thanks to the new warriors they'd taken in.

She remembered the night that the first three cats had come...

The New Recruits
It was a dark and dreary day, and it was pouring rain. Purr jumped every time an extra-fat raindrop splashed her pelt. She was a former kittypet, and wasn't used to this kind of weather.

"You can make it," Berry encouraged. "Don't worry, the rain won't harm you."

"Where are we going?" Hazel asked. The old she-cat was from next door to Purr, but her Twoleg owners never showed any interest in her, one day forgetting to feed her, and Hazel was forced to go to Berry, who she'd seen walk past her Twoleg house every day, hunting. Purr's Twolegs had long gone, but she had tried to survive from the cat food they had left behind. Eventually she ran out and Berry had come and helped her.

"We need to find shelter," Berry said. "The forest isn't safe during this kind of rainstorm -- it might easily turn into lightning." The pale ginger she-cat rested her tail on Purr's shoulder for a second. "Do you see that bush up ahead? We could shelter there."

As the cats continued on, Hazel's pace grew steadily slower. "I can't make it," she rasped. "You should leave me behind and save yourselves."

"Don't talk like that!" Berry said. "You're not going to die! We can all make it. We'll help you."

Berry supported Hazel from one side and Purr took her other side. Togerther they guided the brown she-cat toward the bushes. "We'll be safe there," Berry promised.

When they finally reached the bushes, Hazel collapsed. Berry started toward the entrance, but was stopped by a silver-gray she-cat.

"Who are you?" she asked.

"Oh, I'm sorry, did I disturb you?" Berry asked. "We were just looking for a place to sleep... I'm Berry, and these are my friends Hazel and Purr. I'm a loner and my friends were kittypets before their Twolegs stopped caring for them. Will you let us in?"

"Of course!" the she-cat said. "We won't turn down cats who need help! I am Shinestar of TulipClan."

"Hello, Shinestar," said Berry. "Did you start a Clan here?"

"Yes!" Shinestar said. "TulipClan. If you would like to live with us, we would be happy to have some new warriors."
