CHAPTER 3
The young mocha furred werecat rushed out of the bell tower, hastily moving to get away from the menace that haunted her. She was stopped by a familiar figure.
"Hissary! I've been looking everywhere for you! Why didn't you tell me you were gay?" stated Purrfecta, cornering her younger sister. Hissary looked up at her sister, trying not to cry again, but atlas she couldn't hold back her tears.
"Hissary...! What's wrong?" Purrfecta turning instantly concerned, she held her sister in her arms. Normally if the older werecat tried to comfort Hissary, she would instantly protest against her sister babying her....not today though.
"...I-I -- I want to go home." Hissary sobbed, clinging onto her sister.
Hissary plopped face-down on her bed, feeling somewhat sick from crying earlier. Her older sister joined her; sitting beside her, resting a reassuring hand on the younger werecats' shoulder.
"The first thing I want to know is, why didn't you tell me you were gay?" asked Purrfecta, while Hissary rolled over onto her side.
"I thought you would get mad at me...and-and maybe disown me as a sister..." Hissary said, feeling uneasy.
"Mad? Disown? Hissary, I would never disown you nor would I ever get mad at you! I will admit, I was...shocked to hear that, and I am still a little shocked!" The older werecat explained, while using vivid hand gestures.
"So...you're not mad?" The younger werecat asked, sitting up. Purrfecta readjusted, sitting to face the now upright Hissary.
"Of course I'm not mad!" The older, mocha-furred werecat exclaimed, purring with a smile of reassurance on her face.
The younger sibling still looked uneasy, "You won't tell mom or dad...right?"
The older werecat moved her hand across her lips, acting as if she was zipping them up.
"My lips are sealed."
The younger werecat finally smiled back, letting out a breath, mostly out of relief. Purrfecta watched her younger sister carefully, as Hissary's expression was tense.
"Alright, since we got that outta the way...tell me why you were crying?"
After a long conversation, the older werecat stated with a hiss, "I will claw that Seraphina's eyes out!" at the same time, she clawed at the air.
"Oh Purrfecta! I know she...upset me, but that's no reason to start trouble!" Hissary said, she was laying on her side with one hand supporting her head. Using her other hand; she traced the seams on her bedspread with her claw.
"That is a purrfectly good reason to claw that bitch's eyes out!" the older werecat hissed, getting more angered by minute.
"Purrfecta..." the younger shook her head with a sigh, sitting up to face her older sister, "I don't want you to get in trouble because of me, we need to solve this in a more mature manner." Purrfecta hissed in annoyance, "Fine."
Hissary smiled, letting out a soft purr.
"Alright, here's what I was thinking we should do..."
Though I must agree with Zena on her points, there are too many verbs. Sure, diversity and variation is okay but there comes a point where it just becomes tiring. Also, I think you should add more pronouns than just nouns to the sentences.
For example "Hissary just let out a breath, mostly out of relief. Purrfecta watched her younger sister carefully, as Hissary's expression was tense"
That's a little bit repetitive, so it should be something like "Hissary just let out a breath, mostly out of relief. Purrfecta watched her younger sister carefully, as her expression was tense"
One thing I might add After a long conversation, the older werecat stated, "After a long conversation, the older werecat stated, "I will claw that Seraphina's eyes out!" Purrfecta hissed, clawing at the air."
You should have just said "After a long conversation, the older werecat stated WITH A HISS, "I will claw that Seraphina's eyes out" at the same time, clawing at the air"
Now I must continue studying, and having a tense moment as I have two consecutive exams coming up tomorrow for the whole day.

I honestly don't know what to write here. I love your Impurrfections short story, and the plotline's good so far. I would really love longer chapters though!
One thing I have to say is that, according to a writing book I have, something amateur writers tend to get carried away with is "he snarled" "she shouted" "they exclaimed". Too many verbs! Sometimes, even a simple "she said" will do, or even.
Such as in this sentence
"Mad? Disown? Hissary, I would never disown you nor would I ever get mad at for you! I will admit, I was...shocked to hear that, and I am still a little shocked!" The older werecat explained.
The readers know that Purrfecta explained. Fact. What did the werecat do as she explained? Or, will cutting out the "she explain" make the story sound crisp, and clearer.
