Book 3 - Chapter 6

After moons of traveling the cats made it back to the cave. The fire surrounding the cave was still there so the leader nodded to her deputy who padded forward and literally walked over the fire putting it out. Then the cats entered the cave. Tigerstar padded into the cave and looked around. His clan mates were still there. They were climbing through a hole in the roof. Tigerstar let out a yowl and all the cats there looked up. Tigerstar padded into the cave and the other cats followed. The clan cats stared at the leader and deputy. The leader and deputy jumped up to a ledge and surveyed the assembled clan. Then the leader let out a yowl and the new cats begin herding the clan cats over to the ledge. Suddenly a clan cat yowled "Who are you?" the cat with blue eyes turned and stalked over to the cat that had called out it was Tallclaw. Tallclaw stared at the cat with large eyes. The cat hissed. The leader let out another yowl. "Hush!" she commanded. "I would like to speak with the cats of this clan, Fishclan if I am not mistaken." The clan cats nodded. "We are the leader and deputy of Tigerclan." said the leader. Tigerclan? was the whisper that spread through the Fishclan cats. "We are tigers," said the deputy. "We are the largest cat in the area today." The Fishclan cats were nodding. "We would like to ask if any clan cats would like to join Tigerclan." "What would we get if we joined?" asked Rainmist. "How about if I said you would be able to live as long as you want." "I wouldn't believe it," said Blacktail. "In Tigerclan our very first leader sacrificed her very last life to give the power of life to Tigerclan cats. If you die you come back in the way you die. If you drown you come back as a blue cat made out of bubbles, like my deputy." The Fishclan cats began to nod. "I will join" said Mistyfur. "Please come up here," said the leader of Tigerclan. "So we can make you apart of our clan and so you can live as long as you want." Mistyfur leapt up the rocks to the little ledge where the leader and the deputy go Tigerclan sat. The leader nodded to her deputy and at the same time the touched Mistyfur's head with their nose. Tigerstar waited for Mistyfur to gasp and for her fur to become singed but something else happened. Mistyfur glowed and her pelt slowly began to change into tiger stripes she became almost younger and she seemed almost ready to take on anything knowing that she would still live on.
