She missed the ShadowClan medicine cat, but wasn't sure if Fallenstar would even allow for any cat that wasn't RiverClan to set paw on the territory. Tensions were as high as she had ever felt them, and she consistently looked over her shoulder whenever she left camp to ensure that she was safe. Now, as she sat in her den, she was surprised to hear a loud call ring out across the clearing. Shortly behind that, the faintest trace of WindClan reached her, and she felt her eyes widen. No... she thought, spinning on her paws and racing out of the den, praying to StarClan that she wouldn't see what she already expected to be in the clearing.
A large patrol of WindClan cats had burst into the clearing, driving themselve with claws unsheathed towards the unsuspecting warriors of RiverClan. Instantly, yowls echoed through the air as flurries of fur shot past Heatherfur, who stood dumbfounded at the entrance to her den. Her eyes searched for Blazingstar, hoping to find his familiar orange pelt. Hatred boiled within her, a rage that had been simmering ever since the last meeting at Seastones where the medicine cats, deputies, and leaders had all discussed the meaning of the ominous prophecy. Instinctively, her claws slid out from their sheaths, and she wanted nothing more than to sink them into the fur of any cat who tried to harm her new Clanmates. Gone was the loyalty she felt towards her former home. This was a cowardly attack, and she wanted to make sure WindClan and their leader paid for it.

daydream had blended in with the shadowclan horde that went to drive riverclan out. they couldnt help but feel disgusted with their own clan mates actions to listen. but to them - the leaders word was law - and if goldenstar chose to start war beyond their advice, so be it. when everyone started running with furious chaos, they followed along, claws digging in the ground as they ran faster but for different reason. they flooded into the clearing they had grown to love, adore. this is the place they had met geckoleaf. juniperpaw. cricketpaw. and heatherfur. russetswirl was still here, too. they couldnt lose this place because of an omen mistaken. they jumped into the center of the clearing, digging their paws in the cold dirt to steady themselves as cats flooded past them like a pebble in a river causing a new wave of current, they pushed forward to the medicine cat once they saw the familiar tabby pelt, "heatherfur!" they yowled out to her over the noise, voice still sincere as they spoke. they didnt want this to be the last time they saw her. "i didnt come here to fight, i came here for you," they mewed hastily,"i dont know how far everyones willing to take this, but i wanted to help you quickly pack your herbs properly before you go." they explained briefly before pushing themselves into the medicine cat den, "eventually, i will find you, i promise. okay ? and we will continue your training properly in secret if we have to." maybe goldenstar would demote them, derank them, or so on for helping riverclans medicine cat, but they didnt care. they meant it when they would train heatherfur until they saw her relish in her full title.
