Chapter 7
Pinefoot was running, running from Hareleap, as Hareleap caught up to him, he jolted awake, it was only a dream, a dream he'd been having for the past few days, every time Hareleap caught up to him and killed him.
The gathering had been a few days ago and when Hareleap confronted him, and asked him why he wasn't meeting him, and when Pinefoot told him that he knew what he was doing, Hareleap just laughed and walked away.
Pinefoot as he sat there in his nest, and thought about Wishwind, Wishwind was turning into a wonderful swimmer, Hawkheart and Spottedpelt were trying but didn't seem to get it, every time when they got in the water, Wishwind would swim circles around them, Pinefoot still held the title of best swimmer.
But as he was sitting there, thought about her relationship with Spottedpelt and remembered his promise, about how he had promised to take care of Wishwind if anything ever happened to Spottedpelt, but he didn't want to think any longer.
He curled up and fell asleep again, this time waking up not with Hareleap chasing him, but a different cat standing over him.
"WAHH!" Pinefoot screamed
"Calm down! I'm not here to hurt you.
Then Pinefoot recognized the cat
"Lionheart!"
"Greeting Pinefoot." Lionheart mewed
"What are you doing here?" Pinefoot questioned, "I'm not dead, am I?"
"No, I came to give you a prophecy."
"A prophecy?"
"Only on the Pine's strong shoulders may peace in the mountains be found."
"Huh?"
"Goodbye Pinefoot, remember."
He jolted awake for the second time that night, but this time he didn't feel like going back to sleep, so he exited the warriors' den and waited for other cats to get up, all the time thinking about the strange prophecy Lionheart had given him.
After a while Wishwind came out of the den and saw him standing there.
"Pinefoot?"
"I need to go Wishwind."
"Huh, go where?"
"I can't tell you."
"Then why didn't you leave already?"
"I needed to tell you."
"But why do you need to leave?"
"I've been called."
He licked her head and started to walk away, but Wishwind stopped him.
"Is this because of me and Spottedpelt?" she asked
"No, I need to do this, do you remember what I was like when I was a kit?"
"Happy, energetic, calm."
"Ok describe me now."
"Grumpy, tired, unrestful."
"Do you want the old me back?
"Yes, but why do you have to leave?"
"StarClan called me, good bye, remember I will always love you.
And with that he set off on his journey, not knowing what would be different things would be when he came back.
