Twix... let's just say he was handful. He was fast. That... was about it. It was clear that Toadstar gave Twix to me because he was weak. Now that's not because he wasn't born in ShadowClan. No, this was because that was just how he was born. 

But I try to train him, and he listens. Then he tries it. Then gets it all wrong!

It's beginning to be... difficult. 

I'm starting to wonder whether I'm built for mentoring. I'm... not a very good teacher. I'm not good at much anything but sneaking and fighting. I'm not right for teaching.

Maybe it's just Twix, but it was obviously that I was good at fighting was the reason Toadstar chose me for his mentor. It's true. I'm the best of the best. 

But I'm just not built for this! 

The day after realizing this I tell Toadstar I'm not built for mentoring. But he... just told me to cope. He's no use.

I sighed and then found Twix, and told him we were going on hunting patrol. He shrugged and told me "Sorry, I'm helping the elders." 

WEAK!

It made the blood under my flesh boil. 

I just sighed then told myself I was the best. 

That I could mentor him.

But... I couldn't. 

I just couldn't. 

I asked Tigerstripes to take him out.

I failed.
