N/D: HIYA PEOPLE! Ok I've noticed a few things about my last two chaps , one no disclaimers and two you guys aren't allowed to give me characters which is lame but hey life in unfair. And I apologize for the lack for the lack of detail in the last chap and the lateness of this chap but I have become a beta reader for Light Knight on a different category and I'm starting a new story on the same night as this plus year 10 has begun and life has been turned upside down with course work and homework. But enough of me and more of the story!

Disclaimer: I don't own digimon but I own Lightmon and Will and the abyss and this disclaimer stands for chaps 19 to 20 and any others I missed.

SENTRY DUTY

As the fire crackled Tai and Agumon sat waiting for Wills turn to be the sentry to come. It had been hours since they had all got out of the dark dungeon where Machindramon lay. But now the Digidestined had three megas. Things were starting to look up for them even if they were all split up they were still winning the war. A beep from Tai's digivice signaled the end of his shift and the beginning of Will's. Agumon had already fallen asleep so Tai carried him over to where they would be sleeping ,

"What you been eating?" he muttered quietly, as he walked over to Will. He was asleep next to Izzy and Sora. (A/N was Izzy still there?) As Tai shook Will he quickly sat up , Tai had always thought of Will as a heavy sleeper but that must have changed. Then again a lot of things have changed

"Your turn" He said as he gave a goofy smirk , he looked like he had been on sentry duty for twenty four hours not three. Will slowly got up and let Tai moved into his spot Will thought about waking Lightmon. He saw he actually looked peaceful. He knew that Lightmon was still suffering from the abyss as was he. He hadn't been so happy since when they first met. Will decided to let him sleep and he would be sentry on his own for tonight. As he sat down next to the fire he picked up a stick and started to proud the fire like Tai had done when Sedramon had attacked them back in the first days and soon he was mind was adrift with memories.

Will had been sitting at the fire for less then thirty minutes and already felt like going back to sleep. Ever since the nightmares had started he couldn't sleep well but it was the same two dreams over and over like a bad movie stuck on repeat. Then a word flooded into his mind , Abyss , everything bad so far had been form the abyss , the darkness , the orb , almost killing his friends everything . He felt a chill go up his spine. He hated thinking about the abyss. But it surprised him how much it had become apart of his life. He would have to live with it inside him till the day he died . As his eyes began to close he herd footsteps coming towards him, he turned his head and say Sora walking to towards him.

"You know , your not really a good sentry if your asleep" She stated in an all knowing tone and she sat down besides Will,

"Couldn't sleep?" Was his reply , in fact it was his only reply to that statement,

"No not really , too much happened today to just sleep" She said ,

"Yeah I guess….Like Lightmon warp digivolving and destroying Machindramon." As Will stabbed the fire with his stick and an ember flew out and landed a few meters away form the pair,

"Wasn't that what Tai did that made Seadramon attack us?" Sora asked,

"Yup…the same thing" Before they knew it they were talking and joking about the early days of being in the digital world.

Soon After Sora's shift came and Will said he would stay by the fire till he fell asleep. He didn't think it would take very long and neither did Sora. But at Will lay down on the ground , used his hands as a pillow and closed his eyes he suddenly realised he didn't feel at all tired but in fact he was wide awake,

"Great….just great" He muttered ,

" What's wrong?" Sora asked ,

"Now I cant sleep" He relied as Sora started laughing. But at that moment he felt a large pain in his sides which caused him great discomfort. He bolted up so fats he almost fell sideways into the fire,

"You ok?" Sora asked as she stopped asking,

"I don't…don't ugh…I don't know" As he replied he voice got quieter and quieter. The pain began doubling and trebling it felt like when he was near the dark orb but a thousand times worse. He couldn't move as the pain spread all over , tears began to form in his eyes and his crest reacted with its yellow light shining. It was the only light apart form the fire in the darkness of night. He had to stifle the screams of pain as to not wake the others. It kept getting worse and worse and neither him nor Sora knew how to make it stop. Will suddenly felt lie he was choking and a black blob came from his mouth and landed in front of him. It started to spark and crackle and as it died so did the light from his crest and collapsed where he was knelling.

N/D Short I know but I couldn't find a way to link this to the other stories any other way….but anyway R'n'R please!
