Later that week, Pumpkinpelt was wandering the forest, looking for herbs. She felt the rays of sunlight on her dark ginger pelt. She heard the water from the creek, but the waves were violent. She listened to a cat shriek, so she ran over. When she got through, she saw a grey cat falling in the water, dragging itself out, and falling back in again.

She ran toward the cat with full speed and dragged him out, fighting against the current. When she pulled him out of the rushing water, he somehow, magically, was dry. "I'm Pumpkinpelt. Are you okay?"

"Thanks!" said the mystery cat. "I'm Meadowshade!"

Pumpkinpelt felt a wave of shock crash over her. "So you're the one who he killed all those cats for . . . ." she muttered.

"What? Who 'killed all those cats for me?'"
