I haven't been getting any reviews lately so I'm wondering if my story isn't good…

Sparkflame stood there watching as Amberpaw struggled to get up. He's fine. He just needs more training. Volcanostripe towered above him looking down. "You'll need more training." he growled. "We'll work more on that." Volcanostripe padded away leaving Sparkflame, Amberpaw, and Blazeclaw.

"I'll get Frostberry." he muttered and padded off. "Frostberry? Who's Frostberry?" Amberpaw asked. "She's the medicine cat here." Sparkflame replied. "Oh." Amberpaw looked a little relieved. "You know, you were pretty good out there. You just have to work a little harder." The apprentice looked at her with surprise." "Really?" "Of course, look, Frostberry is coming, now she'll heal you." Sparkflame padded slowly away.

Two moons later…

Sparkflame was looking for Pebblefur as usual at the Gathering. But from the looks of it, RainClan wasn't here yet. She was walking around where no other cat was when she saw something move behind a rock. Sparkflame narrowed her eyes. She tasted the air but all the cat's scents were too mixed up for her to know who it was-if it was even a cat. Then a white tiger stepped out from behind the rock and Sparkflame felt anger surge in her chest.

"You." she hissed. "Well, if it isn't Sparkflame." the tiger meowed. "Nice to see you here, huh?" he continued. "Don't say another word." Sparkflame growled as she took a menacing step toward him. The tiger narrowed his bright blue eyes. "Oh, I'm so scared!" he mocked her. "That's it Icestripe!" Sparkflame lunged at him. Memories suddenly flooded into her mind.

Flashback

Sparkflame was just padding around when she heard a cat whisper her name. She turned around and saw a white tiger pad up to her. "Who are you?" Sparkflame asked suspiciously. "I'm Icestripe, the best warrior of HailClan!" he announced. Sparkflame narrowed her eyes.

"Then how come I haven't heard of you?" she retorted. Icestripe let out a purr and took a step toward her. Sparkflame backed away, hissing. "Never mind that, follow me." Icestripe's eyes glittered and Sparkflame hissed again, longer this time.

"No, you're not the best warrior of HailClan, you're not even a proper warrior!" she screeched. "Ooh, tough one aren't you?" he mocked, purring again. Sparkflame gave him a look of disbelief and disgust. "Who are you?" she yowled. "You're a disgusting tom! Stay away from me!" she threatened and spun around and stormed away.

End of flashback

Sparkflame took Icestripe by surprise and knocked him to the ground. He started to fight back but was no match for Sparkflame. "Wha-what are you doing?" he yowled. Sparkflame didn't answer. She was clawing at him and tufts of fur littered the ground.

Sparkflame plunged her claws deeper and blood sprayed from his wound. Icestripe yowled again in pain but the noise of the Gathering blocked out any chance that someone might've heard it. Red stained the white in the tom's pelt. When Sparkflame finally stopped, she took a step back to see Icestripe bleeding his life out.

"I won't make you suffer anymore." she whispered and stepped forward. Icestripe looked at her, his eyes glossy. Sparkflame stared at his throat and raised her paw. She unsheathed her claws and struck it. More blood poured and stained the rock beneath him an even darker red. Icestripe tried to yowl again but the blood gurgled in his throat and he lay dead.

Sparkflame stared at him, pleased with what she did. She could hear Blazeclaw congratulate her in her mind. As she looked down at her paws, they were stained with blood. Not her own, she didn't have a single scratch on her. That was too easy. Sparkflame licked them until they were clean. Then, without another glance, she padded away from Icestripe and joined the Gathering.

Sparkflame was in the Dusk Cavern. Again? Do I have to watch Amberpaw again? She didn't really want to. She just wanted to rest. No one had noticed she was gone. If they found out Icestripe was dead, which they should've by now, no one would know it was her. She covered up the scene well. There was a piece of rock that was starting to fall off and she somehow managed to pull it off. It had a pointy edge which would answer how he got the slash in his throat.

Sparkflame wasn't really surprised for doing that. Icestripe deserved to die. He had no place in that Clan. Why did they let him go to the Gathering, let alone keep him in the Clan? She was still thinking about it when Blazeclaw prodded her. "You did well." he meowed.

"You saw?" she asked, surprised. "Yes, didn't you hear me?" Blazeclaw replied. "Oh, I thought it was just my mind hearing things." Sparkflame meowed, embarrassment in her mew. "No, you did the right thing, you got rid of a cat who just sits around all day, not bothering to anything!" he growled.

"You're sure no one saw?" Sparkflame asked cautiously. "No one." Blazeclaw assured. "That performance ensured us that you are very powerful and can do anything you want!" Blazeclaw yowled. No one paid attention, they were caught up in the things they were doing. Blazeclaw's voice dropped down into a whisper.

"You can't let anyone know what you did. Especially Lightningstreak." Lightningstreak was in HailClan. "Does it really matter?" she asked. "Yes, even though he was hated by everyone, she or anyone in that Clan can't know." Sparkflame was puzzled. But she didn't question it.

"How's Amberpaw with his training?" she asked, changing the subject. "He's doing very well. As soon as he's a warrior, we can start." Blazeclaw meowed. Sparkflame gave a shudder of excitement. "Does Amberpaw seem to like fighting?" she asked nonchalantly. "Yes, he's pretty confident. Exactly what we need." he answered. "Now go, that's all I needed to say." Blazeclaw left mysteriously into the darkness.

Hi! I hope I made this one of the longer chapters; they all seemed to be pretty short… Well, hopefully this is good; I'd like some feedback on it! Were you surprised about Sparkflame? Sorry I didn't introduce Icestripe at first, but it would've been kinda hard to. So, please review!
