Flowering Ferns Ch3
Foxstar sat on a rock watching the stars shining bright as the sun. Then she heard pawsteps behind her. As she turned, a small Longhaired face appeared.
"Hello Shinepaw," Foxstar meowed as the yellow tabby sat down beside her. "The twolegs are making pollution. I hope no one gets a cough."
The last word made Shinepaw's eyes fill with hurt.
"I'm so sorry Shinepaw," She pressed herself closer to her "Your mother is now safe on StarClan's turf." Foxstar said reassuringly.
"I know, but now I have no mother!" Shinepaw's wailed.
Foxstar turned and looked into Shinepaw's sorrowful, tear filled eyes.
"I know that I will never measure up to Lilyfern, but I will try my best to be a good role model for you."
Shinepaw nuzzled into her fur and she licked her ear as they got up and passed through bushes, ferns, and whimsical-looking flowers as they padded back to camp.
