Hollowpaw... the utterance of his new name made Hollowpaw feel almost giddy. An apprentice! The forest practically belonged to him already, he could feel it.
And then everything came crashing down on top of him, because not only was his new mentor Risingstorm (stupid, annoying cat that he was), but he was to be training with
Twistedpaw of all cats! It was in that very moment that Hollowpaw was convinced that Bumblestar hated him, their semi decent conversations of the past be damned to all hell and back. How could she
do this to him??
Sitting with his mouth gaping open for a moment, titanite eyes blown wide as he looked at his leader, the fire of resentment flooding his heart, Hollowpaw decided then and there that his forest takeover would not spare her if she did him this dirty. And then, suddenly, Risingstorm was calling for him, and Hollowpaw shot him a murderous glare. No. No thank you. Rising could be his mentor in name only, Hollowpaw would just get his training elsewhere. With a sneer, Hollowpaw keeps himself rooted to the spot, abnormally long tail wrapped firmly around white tipped paws as he ignored his new 'mentor' and continued to focus on the meeting... there were other things to be announced, like the new medicine cats, and Hollowpaw desperately wanted to know if Bumblestar was playing a joke on him, that she had recognized his need to be wanted and to have power and had only assigned him to Risingstorm as a cruel joke.
'Let it be me...' his mind chanted imploringly. Let this all be a cruel joke on him...
