Hey guys, it's me, Lunamon810, as always. Obviously, the last chapter was insanely full of events. And this one is too! All kinds of things going on. Anyways, this wouldn't have taken so long but I was in the hospital from Sunday morning to Wednesday afternoon, then I was sick yesterday. But back to school today, and I'll write on chapter 20 later. Also, I'm basically rewriting some of the first chapters. Nothing in the story line will change at all, it's just to add detail because when I look at it it's hard for me to read, I'm getting better by the chapter though! I'm particularly proud of the description in this chapter though.

Disclaimer: Lunamon810 does not own digimon! She does own Amber though.

Last time in Digimon Stuck in the middle of nowhere is not fun. Especially with Amber and Renamon upset about Clary's kidnapping. She told Shadow Boy she refuses to talk to anyone unless he revealed himself. Sorry Amber, I bet 1 million dollars that is not going to happen. A huge wind came and began sweeping up all the Digidestines who had their partners clinging onto them were being separated from the other Digidestines. Amber ended up with me and Willis in one area unknown. Lunamon found them a place to rest for the meantime. I took watch first, and was being a gentleman giving Amber my jacket. Although I won't understand how it ended up for the two of us to be kissing. Poor Matt is with Sora suffering a bad nightmare. Poor guy. Tai and Kari ended up further in the desert where they met Carter and her partner Coronamon. Amber woke up the next day to find the guys found a lot of food. Poor Willis he doesn't know that me and Amber are thinking about that moment they shared. Shadow Boy telepathically told Amber to split up from the guys because she "was close", as Shadow Boy says. Amber found a tree with a huge glass tube attached to it revealing a figure there. A boy. A certain Shadow Boy. A certain Shadow boy that happens to be blonde, an outfit of: a blue and yellow long sleeved shirt, blue-green-gray shorts, and blue high-tops and to top it off, a white hat. OH MY GOD IT'S TJ-T.K.! I think I owe somebody a million dollars. HE'S ALIVE! Well TK explains that Azulongmon saved him and that he wasn't able to reveal himself in case Etemon found out. Amber pulled TK out of the tree trapping him and met back Willis and I. I was so so surprised, he called Tk, TJ. Oh boy, some things never change. They were reunited with Matt and Sora and is Matt ever pleased to be back with his brother and sister. Family moments never cease to amaze me.

Amber, T.K., Matt, Davis, Willis, and Sora sat around the small fire they had managed in their cave, which was a pretty fair size. Amber shivered, but tried to hide it. She didn't want anyone to worry about her. She wanted Matt to live in the happy moment of rejoining his supposedly dead brother T.K.

"Well, it is getting kinda late." Sora said.

"Yeah, we'd better get some rest." Matt agreed.

"I'll take first watch." Amber said.

"Okay, second." Davis nodded.

"Third." Matt volunteered.

"Fourth." T.K.

"Fifth." Willis.

"Sixth." Sora claimed.

As they laid down, Davis handed his jacket to Amber again. "We wouldn't want you cold." He said, then laid down.

"You sure you'll be okay?" Amber asked.

"I'll be fine," he assured. "Been colder."

"If you're sure." said slipping on his jacket. "Make sure you let me know if you get too cold."

"I promise." Davis nodded.

Everyone- minus Amber since she was on duty- was laying down at this point. She had her elbows rested on her knees, and her chin in her hands. She stared into the fire, her ears still on high alert. She heard someone sit up behind her, so she carefully looked over her shoulder, it was T.K.

"You okay Amb?" he asked standing up and walking next to her.

"I'm fine." she said smiling at him.

"No you're not." He said, and he crouched down in front of her, meeting her eye-to-eye.

"Well, not necessarily, but I'll be okay."

"Amber, I may have only met you in person for ten hours, but I've read your mind before." T.K. reminded her. "You're bothered about something. And I want to know what."

Amber was kind of shocked about how caring he sounded, but she quickly recovered. "I'm just worried about Etemon- if he'll go to the lengths of kidnapping us in our sleep with other digidestined around, what are his extents? And Clary- what's he doing to her?"

"I wish I could still tell you," T.K. said, "but if it makes you feel any better, he won't do anything that'll hurt her too bad or anything."

"I guess that's more reassuring than 'I've no idea' or something..."

"Wish I could be more of help." T.K. sighed.

"It's okay T.K.," Amber smiled at him. "You're helping by telling me that much."

"I hope so..."he hesitated for a second," Sis."

"Don't worry bro, I'll be okay. Make sure you get enough sleep, you never know what tomorrow brings."

"No kidding." he said. "Especially last night-eh?"

"Have I no privacy!" Amber gave a exclaimed whisper, her cheeks burning.

"Don't worry, I won't tell Matt."

"Thanks dude."

"No prob." he said. "Night sis."

"Night."

Amber sat, just thinking. Thinking about Clary, thinking about Etemon. Thinking about the others, wondering how they were doing. Thinking about Davis...Did that kiss mean anything? She had to admit, she did have a tiny crush on him...but did he feel it back? Was it just an accident to him? She stared into the fire, as if there would be something inside telling her the answers to all of her questions, the cure to all of her confusion. But to no avail, as she found nothing. As she figured

None of it seemed to add up. Why did he just take Clary? What in the digiworld had created that tornado that separated them all? Were the others okay, or captured by Etemon? Who did Etemon have his sights set on now? Was she being watched right now? Was her newly found brother in danger? Had they figured out he was gone yet?

"Seth..."she whispered.

Maybe if her brother hadn't died in this fire, she wouldn't be here. Or maybe she would, with him. Maybe she'd have never had to deal with this...the confusion...But then, she wouldn't have met Matt, T.K...Davis...If she had to choose, who would she go with? She honestly would love to have Seth back...but obviously if her aunt still died she may have been separated from Seth, would she have liked that life?

"Amber, you okay?" Davis asked, startling her," Uh, sorry."

"It's okay." she said.

"It's about time I take watch."

"I won't be able to sleep." Amber said.

"Well you need sleep." Davis said. "So just try to sleep, even if it's over here by the fire."

"Okay." She said, then laid onto her back after scooting a few feet back, and wrapping the jacket tight around her as her legs twitched to the freezing cave floor.

"You gonna be okay?" he asked. "It's cold."

"I'll be f-f-ine." she said, trying to keep her voice straight.

"No, you won't." he said.

"Nothing we can do about it."

"Come over here." he said.

She hesitated, then crawled over next to him. She laid on her stomach, and tried to rewarm her legs some. She laid on his right side, and her legs slightly tilted towards the fire. She closed her eyes, and Davis rubbed her back. Somehow she felt safer this way, with the warmth of the fire, Davis right next to her...She drifted to sleep, with just pleasant dreams of her, Seth, Matt, and T.K. all being blood-related and with her parents.

Amber gasped and sat up and rumbling rushed through the cave. At first she thought someone was attacking, then she heard the rain and lightning blinded her. She winced as she closed her eyes. When she opened them, she saw it'd woken the others up too. She kept from screaming and thunder boomed again, and Amber quickly walked over to her and got on his knees next to her.

"Amber? Are you okay?" he asked. "Don't worry- it's just a storm."

Amber heard him, but couldn't respond. Every time it stormed, she thought about one thing. Seth. There was more than one reason for this. One was that he always would sleep with her when it rained, as if to protect her. Another was that he loved the sound of rain against the roof. One of the most important, was the only reason she got out of her aunt's house fire, was a storm hit and extinguished the flames enough for her to get out, but she was on a different side of the house then him and her aunt.

"She looks pale Matt," T.K.'s voice seeped into her ears. "you think she's sick?"

Matt's brother had gotten killed too...but he came back. Why couldn't Seth have came back? Why did she have to suffer through her brother's loss, while T.K. still roamed the digi-earth? She couldn't be mad at them- she was glad T.K. was okay. She hugged Matt tight after opening her eyes, and she started crying. Matt was shocked, but still hugged her back.

"It's okay Amber, look on the bright side, Etemon won't be able to travel through a storm."

Amber sniffed, calming down. She looked at T.K. and Davis, who smiled at her, trying to cheer her up. She took a few deep breaths, calming her breathing. She sat up, stabling herself. She blinked blankly at the cave floor, trying to regain her composure. She needed Seth there. She remembered after the fire, he was alive for an ambulance ride and a little bit at the hospital. They let her see him for a little bit after they'd attempted treating his burns and helping his lungs.

"Seth, are you going to get out of here?"

"I don't know Amb." her brother replied, holding her hand. "I'm gonna try."

"You can't live me."

"I may not have a choice."

Amber would never forget any of the conversation they had. She held every word he spoke dear to her heart. But something else that'd happened since didn't make sense. She swore she'd seen him since, at random places, back in her hospital room, at the orphanage, and even at the first soccer game and in her bedroom at Matt's house- although after a while she just ignored it.

"Amber, what's the matter?" Sora asked.

"Seth."

"Who?" she asked.

"My blood-brother. When my Aunt Allison's house burnt down, he died too."

"Oh, I see." she said with a small nod.

Matt patted her on the back. Amber was shaking. She needed Seth. Matt wasn't blood. He was a adoptive brother. She was adopted. Her brother was dead. There was no way to get him back, but Matt wasn't a replacement. She stood up, ran to the side of the cave, and pounded her fist against the cave wall and yelled out, but it was obviously not out of physical pain. She picked up a rock and tossed it at the wall, a foot away from Matt. It hit it with a shattering sound, and split into two. She breathed heavily, then she ripped the digivice off of her shorts.

"I'm not meant to be here!" she yelled and threw it in a random direction, and Davis caught it.

"Amber, calm dow-" Matt was cut off.

"Shut up!" she yelled. "You can't be Seth's replacement!"

Matt was taken back by this. Davis walked to Amber and put his hands on her shoulders. She clenched her teeth with her mouth shut, and her narrowed eyes bore into his caring, worried ones. He expression calmed slightly and slowly, and eventually she was unclenched, her eyes were just confused with a little fury, and she was just a little bit tense. She collapsed into Davis' arms, crying.

"It's okay Amber..."Davis said quietly.

Matt blinked confusedly. When did Amber become this close to Davis? T.K. looked between Matt and Amber. He knew what had happened. Davis and Amber had kissed by the fire that night, and that made Amber trust him.

"Just trust me." T.K. said. "You don't want to know."

Once Amber and Davis pulled away, Amber was just shaking and sniffling. Davis took her hand and led her back next to the fire. They sat down, and Amber hugged his jacket to her tightly. She just stared into the fire again. She couldn't look at Matt, she'd yelled at him for no reason. She incoherently to the song she'd heard once, 'Brother My Brother'. She didn't look away for a second, just blinked. She'd tense up with every crash of thunder, but besides that she didn't really move.

"We've gotta figure out a way to get food." Matt spoke up." Any ideas?"

"None of us can go out in that storm." Sora shook her head. "We'd get lost, sick, hurt..."

"Well water isn't an issue, because the rain has a steady stream of water going down the entrance of the cave." he pointed at the entrance, where water ran down it as if it were a gutter, and it fully cloaked the entrance.

"Weird way of water, but water." T.K. agreed.

"Food's hopeless." Lunamon sighed.

"Don't worry Lunamon, we'll figure it out." Amber said, still looking into the fire.

After a while of silence, Amber stood up and paced around. She had the sudden urge to just run out of the cave, escape these thoughts of Shadow Boy being T.K., Seth and Matt...She froze. She heard something weird. It wasn't rain or footsteps. It sounded like something whizzing by the entrance of the cave, and it sounded like it was coming back.

"Something's coming." she said, looking at T.K. now. They seemed to have a special bond when it came to what to do.

A unmistakeable group of bats appeared at the entrance of the cave. Then who they'd all feared would come. Blonde-haired myotismon.

"Amber!" Matt called out, then jumped in front of her, and the two of them backing up. Davis got on one knee in front of Amber and Matt, facing Myotismon, holding his D-3 in one hand, his other on the floor, ready to help him up if need-be. Lunamon readied herself to their left, Gabumon to their right. T.K. and Sora flanked behind them to the sides, and Willis in between them.

"Ah, what do we have here. The digi-destined we've all been looking for. Amber."

Amber totally froze.

"Leave her alone!" Matt growled.

"And if I don't?"

"You'll have all ten of us to deal with." Davis growled.

"Crimson Lightning!" Myotismon yelled, and a long whip of blood shot at Davis and Matt, and both dodged, but the side of Davis' forearm got nicked along with Matt's shin.

Both cried out, and Amber gasped and stepped forward. "No, it's me you want, take me!"

"Very well." Myotismon said.

Amber walked, helped Davis up, and continued walking.

"No, Amber!" Matt yelled, and stepped forward, but she looked back

"Matt, I've got to go."

"Amber, please." Davis pleaded.

"I can't." Amber shook her head, "I'm sorry."

"Amber, you're being very stupid here!"Terriermon called out.

"You're probably right Terriermon, but I've got to do this."

Lunamon followed behind her, and they stepped into the rain, and walked into the chariot Myotismon had.

"No, Amber!" Matt screamed.

She walked in and was directed to set down, Lunamon next to her. Myotismon sat across from the two, and the doors closed, leaving the cave-dwellers in shock and fear. Matt broke out crying, and Sora wrapped an arm around him. If they attacked at this point, she'd probably get killed. If they didn't attack, she was taken away.

"No!" Davis yelled and ran at the chariot, and banged on the door. "Let her go!"

Myotismon stood up and whammed the door open, and Davis fell back.

"Davis..."Amber said, shaking. "Let him come with us Myotismon. He can't do any harm."

Myotismon looked at Amber. He didn't seem to want to, but he looked back at Davis and now Veemon.

"You're either coming with us or facing the consequences of interupting."

To them all, this made no sense. Why was Myotismon not killing Amber? Why wasn't he attacking them all? Why did he give Davis the choice?

"Fine, I'm coming!" Davis said and him and Veemon climbed in.

"Wait-" Matt got cut off by the door slamming behind them and the chariot taking off.

"Well Myotismon, I'm here." Amber said with a strong but neutral tone of voice. "What is it you want of me?"

"I would like to offer the four of you a deal." Myotismon said.

"And that' would be?" Davis asked impatiently, resulting in Amber elbowing him, since he sat next on her right, Lunamon on her left.

"To join us."

"Who is us?" Amber asked with a no-nonsense tone.

"There is many of us. You've met Etemon. There's MetalSeadramon-"

Something appeared at the doorway of the chariot. Something none of them expected. Two somethings. One was a boy with angel wings and white clothing that looked like it was wrapped on, blonde hair, and strange blue-purple markings. The other was another boy, with his cape covering his neck and below his eyes, and a yellow jumpsuit with several red marks and zippers. He wore a blue cape, and a blue wizards hat and blonde hair.

"Wizardmon?" Davis asked.

"Hello Davis, Amber."

"Wizardmon- from my dream?"

"Of course."

"And I'm Lucemon." the other boy said.

"Why are you here!"Myotismon demanded. "You fools! Nightmare wave!"

A black mist shot at the two boys, but Wizardmon countered with "Electro Squal!"

"Wizardmon, get outta here!" Amber commanded. "I left Matt, Sora, and Willis to insure their safety and you need to leave to insure yours!"

Wizardmon looked shocked. "But he is an evil digimon."

"I know Wizardmon, but I have to." Amber said, her eyes commanding and understanding at the same time." Just, go protect my brother and the others."

"Very well. For now." Wizardmon said, and he and Lucemon disappeared.

Amber felt like her last chances of leaving the chariot left with them. But this way, maybe she could give the others a chance to find each other and make a plan. And this way she may be able to get more information on what was going on with these evil digimon. She looked back to Myotismon.

"But our human king would like to meet you first." Myotismon didn't sound too pleased with this sentence.

"Just who's this 'human king'?" Davis asked.

"He requested his name stay a secret for now." Myotismon said, smirking.

Oh joy. Amber hadn't anticipated a human king. How different could it be though? Weren't humans less powerful than digimon, didn't have these super powers like digimon did? Or did this mean he had armies of the most powerful digimon built up to protect him? And who exactly was this 'him' anyways?

Woah, did that just happen? What is Amber thinking? Is she going to join the dark side for real, after she meats this 'human king'? Guess you're gonna have to find out next time on Digimon: The Crest of Trust!
