Hey guys, Lunamon810 here again! Sorry this has taken so long, for some reason I kept thinking I'd written Chapter 22 already, then I remembered I hadn't, then I felt really...weird. Then I kept seeing Amber in my head today, but I couldn't figure out it was her until a little bit ago, and I straight out went 'Amber!' and I'm shocked my family didn't come to see why I had said that. xD Weird, right? Anyway... School's out now so I'll probably be able to write more.
Disclaimer: I do not own Digimon in any way, shape, or form!
Claimer: I do own Amber and Seth. And I own the song Amber 'writes' in this chapter, I did write it myself after all.
So far everything is easy going for Amber and Davis in the castle, however I can't say the same for the others. Carter, Tai and Kari in the forest are trying to form a plan but aren't having much luck. Meanwhile Matt, Sora, T.K., Willis, Wizardmon, and Lucemon are following Etemon's train to find Amber, Davis, and Clary. Yolei and Cody were scaling up a mountain, while Izzy and Mimi made their way inside. Boy, isn't it a surprise to find Amber and Davis in the castle. Quite a shocker. Ken, Adriane, and Demi all sat in a circle around their small fire. However the peace didn't last long when they come across none other then Arukenimon. Before you can say prodigious, Ken, Adriane, and Demi had their hands tied. Another Digidestine Lana tried to help with Shoutmon, but soon they were in a wrap, no thanks to Mummymon. Joe, Felix, and Felicia funny enough found a mansion with Sorcermon, Betamon and BlackGatomon all to ready to feed them. Keep an eye out Joe. Tazzie, GabumonX, and Renamon were going high in the trees, staying out of sight for now. Ren and Kotemon were sitting next to a river trying to keep their cool.

"So wait a second." Izzy said. "You're...the bad guy now?"
"I guess you could say that." Amber said, trying to keep her face unchanged, although on the inside she was screaming 'Yes! I'm a horrible person! I'm evil! And I had a choice!' She forced her face to stay serious but slightly pleasant.
"Izzy..." Mimi said. "Should we...?"
"Just...let me think." Izzy said, blinking blankly at Amber.
"I know this is probably pretty confusing." Amber said. "I just...there's no way I could leave Seth."
Seth wasn't in there anymore, or else she probably wouldn't have said that. Seth had went to go get some food. Izzy and Amber's eyes met, and the two just stared, Amber's face just slightly changing to sadness and confusion, and Izzy seemed to understand, as if her eyes spoke a unexplainable message.
"I understand." Izzy said, then turned his head away to Mimi.
"What do we do now?" Mimi asked.
"How about eat?" Seth asked, coming in carrying a tray of hot food, several digimon following close behind, also carrying food. They laid it out on the big table in front of them, then walked away, as they began to eat, Seth cleared his throat. "So, Izzy, Mimi. I hope you've had enough time to think, but I must ask. Are you going to join us?"
Amber stiffened up and made a noise between a grunt and a gasp. She half gritted her teeth as she glared daggers into Seth's still bright and pleasant eyes. Izzy and Mimi exchanged a look, and looked between Amber and Seth. Izzy sighed.
"I guess we don't have a choice. If we were to say no it's obvious you could just have us thrown into a dungeon."
"I never said I woul-"
"I wouldn't put it past you." Amber said shortly, then shoved a bite of salad into her mouth.
"Something wrong Amb?" he asked innocently, although Amber had no idea whether he was doing it on purpose or not.
Amber looked at Davis, and when their eyes met hers started to tear up. She wanted to fall to pieces crying. She was evil, she made him evil, she turned against Matt and the others, now she was having to keep her mouth shut while Seth tried to turn Izzy and Mimi evil. She forced herself to look away and started to eat her fries quietly.
"So I take that as a yes Izzy?" Seth asked.
Izzy nodded. "Yes."
Amber finished eating before the rest of them, and went to her room alone. She closed and locked the door, and ran to her bed, jumped onto it, and let herself cry as long as she pleased. She needed this. Because she'd came to a point where she couldn't turn back to the good side. Once she'd cried herself out, she went to the bathroom to fix herself up because no doubt Davis or someone would be up there soon. She removed all her makeup, although she left it unapplied afterwords, then rebrushed her hair and straightened her clothes. She looked at herself in the mirror.
"Do you realize what you've done." she said to her reflection. "You've went against everything you believe in. You've turned three pure people into something evil. And now you're worrying about how you'll get over yourself. But you won't be able to. Because you are a monster." Her voice was dusky and empty. she picked up a plastic bottle of some type of hair spray and threw it out the door way across the room where it hit just below the window next to her bed and hit her bed with a soft 'thump'. She took a deep breath, retrieved it, and put it back where it belonged. Then she picked up the guitar she'd been given, and started to play a soft beat, and sang the lyrics that she created as she went.
"Do you know what you have done. This war you think you've won. Still rages on. As the days go on. But you won't admit defeat. You'll get back on your feet. And continue on. It's an endless cycle. That you won't brake. Being loved is the last thing that you'll take. You let your trust lay shattered on the floor. Won't take it anymore. You neglect the ones you loved. Keep them up above. The waters of the truth. You let yourself drown. In your self sorrow. You won't let them inside. Your true feelings you will hide. Better than yourself have tried. Untrusting Angel. But don't you think it's wrong. These things that you've done. Your words like acid. As you push them away. Your heart's a place they can't stay. Like a broken bed. Where trust can no longer can lay. You neglect the ones you loved. Keep them up above. The waters of the truth. You let yourself drown. In your self sorrow. You won't let them inside. Your true feelings you will hide. Better than yourself have tried. Untrusting Angel. No one can come inside. Your walls where you hide. Your true feelings inside. Won't you let him through. Don't you think that he knew. What he was getting himself into. You Untrusting...Untrusting...Angel."
Amber took a deep breath and sighed it out. She looked up, to see Davis standing there, shock and sadness on his face. She stared at the door.
"I know I locked the door."
"Seth let me in."
"Where is he then?"
"No idea." Davis said, then put his hands on her upper arms and pulled her up so she was standing. He wrapped his arms around her, and hugged her tightly. she returned the hug, and just let her head rest on his shoulder, not wanting to leave the moment. She focused on the good feeling it gave her, and she felt herself start crying into his shoulder, letting loose the feelings she needed to share with someone else. He just held her there, and she could feel the understanding between them.
Seth stood alone in his throne room, his his eyes closed. Seeing Amber as sad as she was...it killed him inside. Even more so since it was his fault. He was the one who ended up here for who knows why and decided he'd take out his frustrations on this world and the creatures inhabiting it. He was the one who joined Myotismon and the Dark Masters, and all the other evil digimon out to get this world. He did it. Not Myotismon, not Devimon, not Etemon. He did.
"Matt was a better brother to her." he thought. "He wouldn't have put her through this."
A lot of emotions inside of all of them it seems. Where will these emotions lead them? Find out next time on Digimon: The Crest of Trust!
(Sorry it's so short! I wanted just to kind of focus a chapter on this, and get a chapter out, to let you guys know I'm still writing on this! Okay, I may or may stop writing and go to bed now. Dunno.)
