## History

### MidnightClan Book 1

#### From Kit to Paw

Pinepaw comes out of the bushes and notices the two kits. He asks why they are out in the forest and Bramblekit states that they went out of the camp, found a fox, defeated it, and met a StarClan cat who gave them a prophecy. Pinepaw tells them he was out because he was told by Bluelight that he needed to get borage for Finchmoon. He then tells them to keep the prophecy a secret until they understood what it meant.

He is later seen looking proudly at Bramblekit from the medicine cat den as he becomes an apprentice.

#### *Into Camp*

Pinepaw notices Bramblepaw and Fluffypaw walking with a stranger to the medicine cat den. He says that he can't really help her until Bluelight gets back but he could help heal the scratches on her.

Later Pinepaw is seen helping Bluelight open up the fox trap off the she-cat's leg.

#### *The New Apprentice*

When Sunstar calls for a meeting, Bramblepaw goes to sit by him. Pinepaw asks why Sunstar is calling a meeting at an odd time and Bramblepaw replies that he doesn't know.

When the calico is renamed Dawnpaw and becomes an apprentice, everyone cheers, but Bramblepaw, Pinepaw and Fluffypaw cheer the loudest due to them having become good friends with Dawnpaw. Fluffypaw notices something and she nudges Bramblepaw and Pinepaw. She points towards Icepaw, who is not cheering at all.

#### *Dark Omen*

Pinepaw is now a full medicine cat, being given the name Pinestripe.

Bramblepaw notices that Pinestripe looked troubled when he came back from the StarCrystal but Bramblepaw knew not to ask him what he saw due to it being forbidden.

Pinestripe was walking around MidnightClan territory when he spotted an omen where the moon was glowing blue. Pinestripe went to go tell Fluffypaw and Bramblepaw. He told them about the omen and soon they figured out that the omen was about Bluelight.

#### *Dark Shadows*

Pinestripe and the others raced into the camp to go find Bluelight. They look everywhere in the medicine cat den for her but do not find her. Pinestripe then lifts up a rock and find Bluelight in there, her neck covered in blood. Pinestripe then collapses beside Bluelight and cries. Fluffypaw wonders why rising beyond the stars has to do with killing a medicine cat and Pinestripe replies that the stars are the three leaders, Sunstar, Lynxstar, and Treestar, and killing the medicine cat if the first step to power.

Pinestripe and the others then carry Bluelight's body out to the camp and he tells Sunstar she's dead.
