"Bramblestar!" The voice that woke him sounded exsausted. it was Seedpaw."Squirrelflights had her kits! Jayfeather told me to wake you." Bramblestar blinked,"right now? She had our kits right now?" "No over night. She asked for you." Seedpaw answered.
The nursery was crowed with two queens, six kits and the three visitors. "Squirrelflight! their beautiful." Bramblestar exclaimed."lets name them."
"What about Brightkit."she said.
Bramblestar said, "yes. I like that. and Shinekit and Mosskit?" Squirrelflight nodded, "I love them." she nuzzled Bramblestar as he looked at the three kits. Tan,white, and orange. Mosskit was white, Shinekit was orange and Brightkit was tan, two she-cats and one tom.
Bramblestar popped out of the nursery happily knowing knew kin had arrived. the clan congratulated him and Lionblaze asked, "why'd you have kits." "Why not?" he responded. Lionblaze bristled, "one of your half-kits just died!" "you, Jayfeather and Hollyleaf aren't my whole life! I've been waiting for something normal to come around for longer than ever!" Bramblestar exploded. "I thought I was something you'd want, but apparently I'm not." Lionblaze whispered coldly as he slowly backed away and ran. "Lionbl.." He began but Squirelflight butted in."Bramblestar! I can't believe you did that!" "Bramblestar, really?"Jayfeather added. The whole clan stared. Bramblestars anger boiled over, "why can't I just have one second without people judging me or criticizing me! You don't know what it's like having Tigerstars eyes on you, leading a clan with out their support or having people you love dying all around you!" He collapsed in misery and closed his eyes. Sweet, warm breath ruffled his ear as Squirrelflight nuzzled him. "I know it's hard being at the center of misery. But I'll help you through it."
Bramblestar lay next to Squirrelflight, moonlight shining, finding peace. Bramblestar woke in Starclan hunting grounds. Goldenflower walked up to him." I know times are hard bu-" Goldenflower said. "if you know it's hard right now why can't you help!" Bramblestar interrupted. "Bramblestar! let me speak!" Goldenflower bristled. "you know Starclan can't fix every thing! Remember the great battle! We couldn't stop them all we could do was help fight! we can't change the bad nor the good, so when you understand, come and talk."
