Chapter Seven of very, very Gary-Stu fanfiction titled "Tom"
After the ceremony, Handsompaw was welcomed into the apprentices den. The Clan departed to go on patrols and to hide in the corners of the Clan to stalk Handsomepaw.
Squirrelflight watched as her son padded away. It felt like it was only a moon ago that he born. But guilt tugged at her heart. Her sister Leafpool, who had been very discreet lately, walked up to Squirrelflight.
"You okay?"The tabby asked.
"No..."
It was nighttime. Bramblestar was curled up in his nest in the cold den of the Highledge. His son had been made an apprentice earlier, and he was both proud and sad. Why was he sad? BecauseFirestar should still be leader. The brown tabby wished he had never exiled that old ginger. But then again... he did kill two kits.
Being a leader was tough. And Bramblestar questioned himself. Was Lionblaze a good choice for Handsomepaw's mentor?
Sighing, he tucked his nose in his chest fur and let the chorus of crickets and snoring lull him to sleep.
...
"Bramblestar!" A golden tabby yowled in his ear.
He jumped up and whipped around. His mother Goldenflower stood before him. They were in StarClan, standing in a calm clearing. Goldenflower purred and licked her son's forehead.
"We need to talk." The she-cat said, darting her amber eyes around the starry forest.
Quickly, the old queen led the tabby into a sandy hollow. Bramblestar had to run to keep up with her."You know, Brambly, I'm both proud and disappointed." She clawed her way down into hollow.
Bramblestar followed her still. "Why?"
"I always knew you'd be leader someday. You have ambition like your father."
"But I'd never try to take over the four Clans!" The tabby mewed.
Goldenflower sighed in relief as she sat down on the sandy earth. "Good. I don't see why have two hundreds cats under your paw does any good. Like, Tigerstar would have starved them. Then they'd eat him or they would all get sick..."
"I know right? It makes no sense at all! There is like no point. All of the cats would have been spread out anyway. Tigerstar was so froggin' stupid."
"That he was, Brambly." His mother agreed. "He was so stupid he didn't realize that Longtail is your real father."
"Wait... what?!"
"Hm? I didn't say anything."
An awkward silence hung in the air. Luckily, their conversation was muffled by the sand and their words didn't travel through the starry territories.
"Well, anyway, I have a message for you."
Bramblestar sighed bitterly. "It's about my son?"
"Yes." The amber queen nodded. "Handsomepaw has a power like no other. He gets a queen full of kits by only brushing against their pelt. Also, you must review his mother."
Goldenflower rasped her tongue over his shoulder before the starry world became warped as he awoken. Blinking his amber eyes, he saw Squirrelflight standing over him.
"You slept like a rock! I've already sent out border patrols, hunting patrols, and cleaning patrols. There's a bunch of Ferncloud kits wandering the forest and by the lake..." The talkative ginger talked on and on and never shutted up.
Bramblestar wondered what his mother meant... He had to 'review' Handsomepaw's mother. He looked up at his mate. A glint of uncertainty was in her wide green eyes.
