I love your story, Moony!
But how come you keep changing the name from Dapplefur to Dappletail?

Chapter Eighteen Dappletail let out a sigh as the sun sank below the horizon, a blazing ball of red and orange flames, letting out streaks of beautiful purple, and pink, stretch across the sky. Hawkfrost's pawsteps sounded in the grass behind her, and she twisted her neck. He was carring a freshly killed mouse, and a plump fish in his jaws. He dropped the warm-smelling fresh-kill by Dappletail's nose, and flicked his ear. "I thought you might be hungry." Hawkfrost meowed, swiping his tongue around his jaws. Then he sat down in front of her, and peered into her dark blue eyes, waiting for her to choose. Dappletail felt embarrassment burning the tips of her dappled ears, and she chose the plump fish, it's flesh wet and slippery beneath her jaws. Hawkfrost twitched his ears in surprise. Then shrugged it off, and bit into the flesh of the mouse. Dappletail never tasted anything more delicious. It succulent, and warm, and tasted wonderful. Hawkfrost dug a hole into the ground, and burried the bones of the wood mouse, as a sign of respect for the mouse's life. The dappled she-cat nosed the fish skeleton into the hole, and the dark brown tabby warrior burried the bones with his muzzle. Dappletail looked at him as he worked, and he suddenly looked up at her, and their eyes locked. "Dappletail..." Hawkfrost breathed as their muzzles came close together. His eyes studied her's, and waited for permission. Sorry about the half-chapter, I'll finish it tomorrow! I'm sorry, I get mixed up with the name... "Hawkfrost." Dapplefur murmured, and her eyes gave the dark brown tabby permission. He licked the top of her head, and between her ears, and she purred in comfort. Dapplefur licked his cheeks, and before long they were sharing tongues, quietly and peacefully by the shore of the RiverClan river. Hawkfrost then sat up straight, and tasted the air with his tongue. His tongue shot back in his mouth, and his eyes widened. He clenched his teeth together. "Patrol." He growled with his teeth clenched, he then whispered into her ear, "Hurry! Before your caught, run to the..." A loud snarl interrupted his words, and Hawkfrost sat up, his ears flattened.

GOOOOO HAWKIE!!! lol I couldn't resist saying that... Chapter Nineteen [/center] "Well, well, well." A dark gray she-cat hissed, "Hawkfrost letting a rogue onto our territory." She sniffed, drawing the air over her scent glands, "And ThunderClan by the scent of it." She turned her icy blue gaze onto the dark brown tabby. "What do you have to say for yourself?" Hawkfrost let out a hiss, his icy blue eyes burning. He didn't reply, and nudged Dapplefur up. She sat up, her eyes blazing in cold fury. "I am sorry Mistystar." Hawkfrost meowed levely, "I found this rogue on our territory, and I was just about to drive her out." "Liar!" A smokey black tom snarled, "We were watching you the whole time, you and this, this, crow-food eater were sharing tongues by the shore. You hunted for her!" Hawkfrost stiffened. The black tom looked at Mistystar, and she nodded slowly. The tom launched himself at Hawkfrost, and the two rolled in the grass. The black tom pinned Hawkfrost down, and snarled in his face. "You're dead crowfood eater!" "Only after you!" Hawkfrost hissed, and kicked the tom off of him. The black tom shook his head from side to side, and leaped at Hawkfrost. The dark brown tabby slipped to one side, and raked the RiverClan warrior's muzzle. He yowled in agony, and tackled Hawkfrost down. Hawkfrost scrabbled at his belly, and the black tom lowered his teeth to Hawkfrost's neck. "Blackclaw..." Hawkfrost gasped. Blackclaw ignored him, "You're going to die Hawkfrost, have a nice time in the dark forest." "Over my dead body!" A dappled warrior tackled Blackclaw to the ground. It was Dapplefur! She slashed at his flanks, and bit down into his shoulder so hard that Blackclaw begged for mercy. "Let go!" He screeched. Dapplefur clawed him over the ears, and released his shoulder. The black tom retreated to camp, wailing. Mistystar let out a screech of fury. A small brown tabby tom flattened his ears. It was Voletooth. Mistystar pounced at Hawkfrost with a screech. Voletooth tackled Dapplefur to the ground. Dapplefur snarled, and clawed Voletooth around the ears. Voletooth mewed in pain, and raked her neck. Hawkfrost rolled away from Mistystar. Dapplefur let out a shriek as blood welled from her throat. Hawkfrost's eyes widened in horror, and he let out a caterwaul. He leaped away from Mistystar, and tackled Voletooth. With anger pulsing in his veins he sliced a long cut in Voletooth's soft underbelly. Voletooth wailed, and scampered away, leaving Mistystar alone in the clearing. Hawkfrost crouched by Dapplefur. "Dapplefur." He murmured, "Wake up." Mistystar let out a screech of rage, and hurled herself at Hawkfrost. Hawkfrost let out a furious shriek, and clawed at Mistystar. He lowered his teeth into her throat. She collapsed in a horrible choking sound. Her body covulsed into a series of spasms, and she laid still. She was going into a trance in where a leader loses on of his or her lives. Hawkfrost tenderly dragged Dapplefur to the river. He pressed some dock leaves onto her wounds. Dapplefur's eyes were closed, but her breathes were strong. Hawkfrost let out a sigh of relief. Dapplefur was going to live.

Chapter Twenty [/center] Dapplefur woke up to see glittering icy eyes inches above her own. She felt a flash of fear, but it soon passed as she remembered where she was. Just on the ridge of RiverClan territory, by the River in fact, with Hawkfrost. But when she rose up, she realized she wasn't in RiverClan territory at all. She scented the air, but none of the scents were familiar, except for the grass, trees, plants, and other smells of the forest. Looking around she spotted the dark brown tabby tom. His icy blue eyes were filled with concern, but they still held their icy fierceness. Dappletail opened her jaws, "Where are we, Hawkfrost?" She asked, her voice warry from sleep and her lost-contiousness. Hawkfrost's eyes softened as he answered, "We are away from the Clans, my dear." He spoke with such tenderness, Dappletail was shocked that such a powerful warrior could speak that way. "Where? How far away? What's happening?" Dappletail felt confusion hit her like a blow from a badger's paw. Hawkfrost sensed her confusion, and his whiskers twitched with amusement, "I took you away, after you had been wounded and knocked out, I dragged you down her, we are near WindClan territory." "Oh." Dappletail felt the word wheeze out of her. She felt a powerful ache inside her head, and she laid down on the ground again, feeling sick, and tired. Hawkfrost nosed some herbs towards her with his muzzle, and she lapped them up, before falling asleep again with the taste in her mouth.

UPDATE! My posts will all be colored! xD
Chapter Twenty-One
Dappletail awoke again when the moon was just floating up above the horizon. Not feeling tired anymore, she rose, and stretched her muscles, digging her claws into the tender grass and earth. Searching for Hawkfrost, she shook the scraps of moss, grass, and dirt from her ruffled pelt, and padded around in search for the tabby warrior.
She finally found him, napping in a patch of newly cast moonshine. His breathing was soft, and calm, it looked as if he had fallen asleep while trying to hunt, or fetch water or moss. Dappletail felt her paws itching to go and hunt for him tonight, and surprise him in the morning. She was hungry. The prey she had eated felt like it had been moons away.
Swiping her tongue around her jaws, she tasted the air. She caught a fresh whiff of a Thunderpath, and then she caught the scent of a thrush in a nearby birch tree. Crouching, and stalking across the ground with practiced acuracy, she leaped into the air, claws extended, and caught the bird before it could sound an alarm call.
Biting into it's neck, she killed it quickly, then scraped dirt over it, and continued to hunt. By the time the moon was high in the sky, she had tracked and killed one thrush, three mice, and a vole. Carrying the prey in her mouth, she walked back to her and Hawkfrost's temporary settlement.
Dropping the prey down, she relieved a tension in her jaw from having to extend it so far to carry her prey. Then, selecting her first caught prey--the thrush-- she began to pluck the feather's from it's fat body. Once she had, she bit into it and gulped. She finished it in a few more gulps, and swiped her tongue around her lips to get the rest of the flavor off and into her mouth.
Curling up next to Hawkfrost, her belly contently full, she stared up at the sky, until the stars shown in the indigo night. The twinkling specks seemed to be talking to her, but she could not understand what they were saying. Closing her eyes, she felt herself being drawn in again, to the darkness of sleep.
The night closed over her, and she drifted into a dreamless doze.
