Krystal, Bonnie, Elena, Stefan, and Damon all met up at the mall. Bonnie brought coffee from the grill with all the condiments stuffed in her pockets.
"I didn't know how you took your coffee so I brought the cream and sugar just in case," Bonnie giving Krystal the coffee.
"Thank you Bonnie, black is perfect though," Krystal explained. They walked through the mall picking out some underwear, shoes, dresses for Lockwood's parties to come, a black dress for the funeral, Damon helped choose the dresses for the parties, then he took Krystal to Victoria Secret for lingerie,
"I don't think we have hit that point yet Mr. Salvatore," Krystal giving him a glare.
"I'm sure it wont be long, you know you cant keep your hands off of me," Damon smirked, Krystal gave him a playful shove,
"You are so…" Krystal trying to think of a good word to describe him.
"Charming and irresistible?" Damon wrapping his arm around her waist.
"Cocky and very resistible," Krystal smirked, Bonnie stifled back a laugh, Damon pouted,
"You know you love me," Damon giving Krystal a half smile,
"You guys do seem like you are great together," Bonnie shrugged.
"Well look at you miss Judgy, playing match maker," Damon narrowing his eyes at her.
"I'm just saying she seems to be able to keep you on your toes and she seems to have a pair of balls," Bonnie seriously. Krystal stared at Bonnie,
"You know what I mean, she can stand up to you, she can play at the cocky attitude you throw out," Bonnie explained.
"Well she does have a point there," Krystal laughed a little,
"I do need someone to keep me on my toes," Damon seeming to think about it, he smirked,
"So, I was thinking about hitting Hot Topic again, I like it when you get all dressed up in your gothic stuff," Damon giving her a lusty look.
"You like it all a little too much," Krystal rolling her eyes and shaking her head.
"Yes. I. Do," Damon biting his lower lip, Krystal sighed as she just wrapped her arm around his waist,
"Lets not gross anyone out," Krystal mumble.
"We have that memorial to attend tomorrow," Bonnie reminding everyone,
"Oh yeah, that's right," Elena mumbled.
"I'm helping with that," Elena explained,
"I think after we hit Hot Topic we should be good on clothes and shoes, by the way, I've managed to get you a new phone during your shopping spree," Damon giving Krystal the iphone.
"You're going to have to help me figure this thing out, I hate Apple," Krystal explained,
"Not a problem babe," Damon giving her his half smile. They soon hit Hot Topic and Damon picked out some things he wanted Krystal to try on and she got a few things as well. After they left Elena and Krystal were getting hungry, so Damon and Krystal met up with Elena and Stefan at the boarding house.
At the boarding house
Krystal and Damon had found a bar and Damon taught Krystal how to compel and feed without killing anyone.
"You okay?" Damon asked,
"Yeah, I need a drink," Krystal having savored her meal,
"Here is one until we get back home, you need to try drinking coffee more often, I cant have you turning into a alcoholic vampire," Damon giving her his last glass of bourbon at the new bar they had stopped at. Krystal drank it,
"So, do you wanna go to the grill tonight after we drop this stuff off and hang out?" Krystal asked,
"You are reading my mind babe," Damon paying, he leaned in and gave her a simple chaste kiss and wrapped an arm around her waist and walked out. When they met up with Stefan and Elena at the boarding house Damon carried her bags, well most of them, Krystal had to grab two big ones. He then took her to the room beside his,
"This is your room, there are hangers in the closet, the drawers should be free, of course the bed linens need to be washed, I'll go start on that and do some dusting while you get your stuff hung up," Damon sitting her things down.
"This is nice, do we share your bathroom?" Krystal asked,
"I thought you might want your own," Damon opening the mahogany sliding door to reveal a smaller bathroom than Damon's bathroom but still big enough to move around in and was exactly the same as Damon's bathroom.
"Nice, we forgot to pick up shampoo, conditioner and body wash, just because I'm dead doesn't mean I have to smell like it," Krystal leaning against the doorway.
"Maybe I like my girl to smell," Damon smirked,
"Now you are just being gross," Krystal playfully shoving him.
"We'll get some tomorrow maybe, until then you can shower in my bathroom," Damon giving her a peck on the cheek.
"Thank you handsome," Krystal giving him a peck on the lips,
"Oh, when you come back up, could you bring me a glass of bourbon or some black coffee please?" Krystal asked.
"Sure, I'll go get these in the wash," Damon stripping the king bed completely, he sped downstairs with the bedding and threw them into the laundry. When he came back into the parlor he made his way into the kitchen where Elena was drinking coffee.
"Is there any coffee left?" Damon asked a little tense around her,
"Yeah, trying to get Krystal on coffee?" Elena asked,
"Better than becoming an alcoholic," Damon explained, he poured a tall mug full, he turned to Elena.
"How are you holding up?" Damon asked,
"I cant hold down any of it, not the animal stuff or the blood bags," Elena softly.
"Maybe its because of your doppelganger blood, you need to feed from the vein, if you get hooked on the animal diet you'll wind up like Stefan, a ripper, you need to feed from the vein and learn moderation, that way you don't always have that monkey on your back like Stefan," Damon seriously.
"I don't want to kill anyone, I couldn't live with myself if I did," Elena seriously.
"Get away from Stefan tonight and meet me at the grill, I'll help you Elena, I wont let you kill anyone," Damon explained in hushed tones, Elena took a sharp breathe in, not knowing if she could trust him on that. Slowly she nodded,
"Hey why don't you take this up to Krystal, help her unpack her stuff, tell her I'll be back in a few," Damon explained. Elena took the coffee along with hers and went up to Krystal's room.
"Hey Damon sent me up with your coffee and to help you unpack," Elena sitting the coffee on the dresser.
"Thanks," Krystal coming over and sipping on the hot coffee, Elena looked around the room,
"So this is going to be your room?" Elena asked,
"Yep, I don't know if I want to bring my old stuff back here or not, I still have some stuff in Colorado," Krystal blowing on her coffee,
"I'm sure you have at some things you'll want to bring," Elena stated.
"Maybe, I just don't want to go through mom and dad's things, its hard enough knowing I got them killed," Krystal taking out a knife that Damon had given her, she cut the tags off her clothing first then laid them on the bed, Elena grabbed some hangers from her closet and started hanging the clothes up.
"Stefan saved me from drowning in my parent's car, they winded up dying in the process, but they wouldn't have had to come and get me in the first place if I had just stayed in for family night," Elena quietly.
"I'm sorry," Krystal softly,
"You know, I always thought that things happen for a reason, but I don't see the logic behind it sometimes, in your case, if your accident had never happened you would never have met Stefan, my grandmother tried to tell me things about my visions, that if I actually practiced doing things to help them come to me before the events actually happened I could learn how to stop the events from happening, but I think it would make me into a freak show, you cant always stop something that is meant to happen, like us becoming a vampire, we had a choice, either feed or die, I'm sure you never wanted this but you are in love with Stefan, who is a vampire, and what kind of future could you have if you were still human?" Krystal asked.
"Really, having visions come so easy is like a person who could see ghosts, my grandmother says there are people out there that see ghost all the time, sooner or later it would start to mess their reality up and that could be dangerous," Krystal explained taking another sip of coffee.
"My brother, he died and Bonnie brought him back but she upset the balance of nature and as a result he started seeing ghost," Elena explained.
"Witches have to watch what they do, I've researched my vision dream things and came across witch stuff, you don't do spells for money or love because they don't pan out in the way you want them to," Krystal now hanging her things in order she wanted them in, then she started on the drawers, there were things in the drawers already, Damon just walked in.
"These yours," Krystal holding up some older clothing,
"They are antiques," Damon making her move aside,
"You're antique as well, aren't you?" Krystal smirked.
"Good thing about being one means stronger and faster, why don't you do some dusting, I'll go find some boxes to put this stuff in," Damon hissed at her.
"Hmm, annoyed," Krystal giggled, Elena looked in the drawer, they were both giggling over Damon's 60 and 70's clothing.
"Shh, here he comes," Krystal going to her shoes and taking tags off of them and putting them in the bottom of the closet.
"Liz didn't have any new information on the guys but she sent a fax of the sketches you drew to Colorado's police station," Damon explained.
"Good, hopefully they will get what is coming to them, I just wish I could stand up to them and make their lives hell for what they did to me and my parents," Krystal holding the ceramic coffee mug, suddenly it busted in her hand, Damon and Elena both stared at her,
"Sorry," Krystal mumbled, she started picking the pieces of ceramic glass out of her hand,
"I promise you, we will get them," Damon picking the pieces up out of the floor, she found a large piece of glass in her hand and pulled it out, she groaned, but it healed fast, she licked up the blood that had spilt out of her wound and onto her hand.
"Waste not, want not," Krystal shrugged,
"Well, tomorrow is the memorial service and I have to go hand out memorial cards, want to come help?" Elena asked.
"I guess I could," Krystal shrugged,
"I'd appreciate it, maybe you could help me not lose control around people," Elena suggested.
"I don't know how much help I'd be but I can try to help you," Krystal explained, Damon left to find some boxes, once he reached the parlor Krystal figured it would be safe enough to talk,
"You should try to drink from the vein, Damon could help you control the feeding," Krystal softly.
"I don't think I could do something like," Elena shaking her head,
"If you change your mind, you could talk to Damon about it," Krystal explained. Elena glanced around for Damon, she didn't know exactly where he was, so she thought whispering would work,
"He doesn't really like me right now," Elena whispered, Krystal nodded,
"Well, you could come to me if you don't want to go to him, and I could tell him, but if you aren't keeping the blood down you should try something different," Krystal explained.
"I know but if I killed someone, I think I would have to switch my humanity off, it would destroy me," Elena closing her eyes and shaking her head.
"Hey, I'm sorry, its just, you seem like a good person to get to know, and I don't want to lose a great potential friend like you, not to mention Stefan seems attached to you as well," Krystal explained.
"Yeah, I don't know, I guess I feel like I would be disappointing Stefan if I asked for Damon's help," Elena explained.
"Just because Stefan is on the bunny diet doesn't mean that you cant try blood from the vein, Damon doesn't have the problem helping you with control, he taught me and I'm still trying to get a hold on it, but I have yet to drain a person's life," Krystal explained.
"I just, I don't know, I feel more comfortable of talking to you about it," Elena explained,
"You should come with us to the funeral, get out of Mystic Falls, we are vampires, just because you live in Mystic Falls doesn't mean you cant see the world or what it has to offer," Krystal seriously.
"Yeah, you're right," Elena thinking about it,
"Though, I wouldn't want to be stuck on a plane with humans," Elena explained.
"We could make a road trip out of it, just us girls in one vehicle and the guys in another, Caroline could join in on the ride, though she seems too attached to Tyler," Krystal giggled a little,
"It would be a bonding experience for us," Elena nodding.
"Yeah, we'll be rocking to our own music, road trip snacks, and some blood bags, we'll stop by a bar or something and Damon will help you feed," Krystal explained. Elena laughed a little,
"You seem like the girl version of Damon," Elena smirked,
"I don't drink that much, yet, nor do I have his sexual appetite yet though I have heard that will come with the new changes our bodies are going through," Krystal shrugged.
"I'm glad he has someone now, he is a good guy, he just doesn't like for people to know," Elena explained.
"Because when people see good, they expect good," Krystal getting the point.
"Yeah," Elena thinking it was so eerie that Krystal's mind was similar to that of Damon's mind,
"I've seen people who do good all the time, most of them get taken advantage of," Krystal explained.
"Me and Damon are really just trying to get to know one another, nothing has really even happened between unless you count the first time I fed and we wound up on the bedroom floor naked and tangled in bed sheets, but that was just because my emotions were all over the place," Krystal explained.
"That's a little too much information," Elena nervously,
"Sorry, haven't you and Stefan done anything since you were turned?" Krystal asked.
"Yeah, but it wasn't as great as I thought it would be, I threw up shortly after it," Elena explained,
"Could it be possible for a vampire to have a child?" Krystal asked,
"Damon said that it wasn't, I'm sure its just my doppelganger bloodline that makes it impossible to keep the animal blood down," Elena explained,
"But what about the blood bags that you cant keep down, wouldn't Bonnie's book things say something?" Krystal asked.
"It's a possibility," Elena thinking,
"Why don't you call her and ask her to look, I'm sure she wouldn't want you to starve either," Krystal explained.
"Yeah, I'll call her and ask," Elena mumbled,
"Well ladies I hate to break up your little pow-wow, but Krystal and I were headed out," Damon hanging on her shoulder,
"Right, Elena, you should meet us at the grill tonight," Krystal stressed, Elena nodded,
"I'll see if I can get away," Elena explained,
"Good, we could play some pool," Krystal suggested,
"Sure, sounds like fun," Elena nodded. Damon caught onto the hidden under linings,
"Yeah, we could have a party," Damon wanting to help Elena. Elena's eyes caught his baby blues, she saw concern in them for her, hell Stefan didn't even know how bad the problem was, she didn't want him to know that she couldn't keep any of it down because she knew if she had to resort to feeding from humans it may be the final straw in their relationship, since Stefan couldn't control drinking from humans.
