Anyone who's read Bluestar's Prophecy knows that Pinestar goes to live the life of a kittypet. I always wondered what happened to him. This is what I think.
It was early in the morning, and Henry slid out of his kittypet door, heading for the fence. Those Housefolk are so worried about me, Henry thought. What could possibly happen out here?
Henry leaped on top of the fence. It took a bit of effort, since he was so old, but he was still strong. He loved looking at the sun coming up behind the trees, marking a new day. Henry never missed it.
A couple houses down, Henry noticed Rusty and Smudge talking. The two were best friends. Suddenly, Rusty bounded down and bolted into the forest. Henry flinched, knowing he should go after him. But something held him back. He wasn't ready to go in the forest yet.
Henry didn't like the forest. There were evil, wild cats in there, ready to turn him into crowfood. You never knew where they could be, lurking behind every tree, whether it is oak or pine.
Henry shivered, and the fur on his neck stood up. Pine was a word Henry did not like. It brought back bad memories, memories Henry could never fully remember.
Somewhere in the distance, a loud hiss brought Henry back. He turned towards the noise. It had come from where Rusty had entered the woods. Henry gathered his haunches to leap off the fence to help him, when there was another growl. This time, it came from a different cat.
Henry turned around and fled back into his nest.
The next day, at sunhigh, Henry stepped out of his nest. He hopped on the fence, and looked at the scene around him. Rusty was sitting on his fence, looking fidgety and nervous. Henry could smell his fear scent.
Leaves rustled, and two muscular toms came out of the forest, heading towards Rusty. One was pure white, like snow. The other was golden, his fur shimmering with the sunlight. The three talked for a short bit, and then ran into the forest, disappearing into the trees. Henry made a sudden decision.
He jumped off the fence and ran after them.
