This is like, maybe a week or so after RC drove TC from their camp and some RC cats had left.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


    The russet Somali she-cat was  mutely followed after a calling bird. She wasn't planning on actually hunting it down and catching it. She slowed, as predicted the bird had landed and was innocently pecking at the ground. Like a clumsy apprentice she lunged towards it. Squawking in alarm, the bird lifted to the sky and perched in a tree, chirping with annoyance. Burrstrike felt like a puerile kit that chased bugs around camp acting as if they were driving out a Thunderclan intruder.

    Thunderclan...

    Burrstrike paused, an eerie feeling chilling her spine. Earlier that moon, Pebblestar and a few patrols of Riverclan cats had led an attack on Thunderclan that had driven them from their camp. It was the first battle Burrstrike was glad to not be apart of.

There were kits, queens, and elders in that camp.

She suddenly felt slightly depressed, and as she started walking around aimlessly, questions popped up into her head.

Why are you still in Riverclan? Many cats have left in rebellion, why dont you join them? 

She shook her head slightly. She couldn't leave Riverclan, it was her home. She had been with them for her whole life. Her kin was there. She grew up with the cats there.

Grew up with those cats. No.

She didn't grow up with most of the warriors around now. Most the cats that she grew up with were dead. Infact, her friend group as an apprentice were all in starclan. Flightfeather, Firefrost, Stormfall, Hazefrost.. All of them were dead.

Burrstrike kept walking, speeding up and not even noticing where she was going, blinded by her thoughts. Hazefrost, her closest friend has been with her all her life. Due to some problems and having her kit already expecting kits, she had retired early and Flightfeather had joined her. Hazefrost had made the journey with Burrstrike to the new territories with the clans, she had weakened slightly from the journey but was mostly fine. After moons of peace, Bloodclan and Riverclan got caught in a war and Hazefrost had been murdered while out of camp.

What would Hazefrost do in this situation?

Burrstrike knew the answer far too well. Hazefrost would have left .Burrstrike swallowed, her mouth was dry.

She would have left elder or not and she wouldn't taken me with her.

Burrstrike's pelt started to spike up with panic. Her thoughts were making her frustrated. She stopped to breathe when she noticed.. She wasnt in Riverclan territory. She was in a field of some sort. Blindly, she started panicking more. Overwhelmed by thinking of Hazefrost and her old friends, she screeched and just had a small melt down. Nothing mattered, nothing sensible went through her head, just her wanting her friends back alive. Wanting to be an apprentice again with no worry.

-=+Timeskip :OOO+=-

Burrstrike slowly blinked open her eyes, sun glaring in them, she turned away and blinked open her eyes. Still day.. Almost not. Staggering to her paws, she slowly remembered why she was here and what had happened. She lowered her ears, glancing at the falling sun. 

Tiredly, she got to her paws, thinking more clearly now. What was the point of leaving her clan alone. Hazefrost wasn't here and wouldn't be able to share the lonely and cold nights with her. Besides, what if Pebblestar never invited the Riverclan rebels back? What if Owlfeather didn't even allow them back? She would be clanless. And she would not  join another clan. 

Burrstrike scented the air and followed her scent trail, her pelt slightly rising. She had to hunt before she got back to Riverclan camp. Pebblestar might suspect something.

Okay I'll uhh stand in the river and blame not having a lot of fish on Shadowclan being annoying or something.

If She was seen as a possible threat, she knew she would be imprisoned like the other cats, Iceshard, Strikefury, and Rippleblaze. Staying with her clan wouldn't mean she was evil, just unwilling to risk her whole lifestyle.

Burrstrike inhaled slowly.

I will stay with my clan.

K  i know like how I said Hazefrost and Flightfeather retired isnt true. Diamondcat just thought she was old enough for it, but Burrstrike stayed young and was only like 2 moons younger so i just made it like that to fit the story more. I talked to Diamondcat about whats been going down in Fh and she was surprised Burrstrike hadn't left, so I felt like doing this. And yes, if Haze was still alive she would've said "hAh bye Burr come on"
