They were both in bliss and exhausted as they finally had fallen asleep within the tangled blankets in the floor by the bed. Hours later Krystal was screaming out, Damon jerked up,

"Krystal, hey, wake up," Damon seriously, Krystal jerked up breathing hard.

"Hey, shh, I'm here, what's wrong?" Damon concerned,

"They are in trouble," Krystal shook,

"Who, who's in trouble?" Damon confused,

"Your friends, your brother, Elena's caged in and she is dying, she hasn't fed yet, Stefan is there, he's caged in too, some kind of barn and a farm house, I don't, I don't know where," Krystal crying.

"Shh, its okay, go shower, eat, get dressed, we'll hit a mall before they close, I'm calling Bonnie she can do a locator spell," Damon seriously. Krystal nodded, she got up and went and grabbed a blood bag and ate, when she finished she got in the shower, Damon finished with the phone call and jumped in the shower with her,

"Are you alright?" Damon asked.

"We should have stayed in town," Krystal explained.

"Hey, this is not our fault, if we had stayed, we would have been in the same situation, Bonnie is going to call us back with the location," Damon seriously as he washed up.

"So, we'll hit the mall after sunset and grab clothes that you will feel better in, we'll need to hurry…" Damon being interrupted,

"I want to help," Krystal explained.

"You'll need to drink the rest of the blood I brought, and you have to be careful, I am not going to lose you so soon," Damon explained. Krystal stared at him, he seemed happy, he gave her a gentle kiss.

"So, um about last night, that was amazing, I wanted to take things slow, I'm not really comfortable jumping into a relationship after the last one, I am scared to have a relationship," Krystal softly.

"I wont hurt you, I wanted to take things slow with you but last night, you are just really sexy and I want you, but I am willing to go slow with you, but you cant do things like that, like that, last night, if you want to go slow," Damon seriously.

"Well, how about this, when we need to do things like that, we tell each other," Krystal seriously.

"Sounds fair, come on, we need to get out and get dressed," Damon explained, she cut the water off and got out, they dried off and got dressed, Bonnie called back and gave the round about location, Krystal was calmly sucking on a blood bag. It was still daylight and they couldn't leave yet,

"I hate this sitting and waiting game," Krystal mumbled.

"Well, you will burn if we leave and it would take Bonnie too long to get out here, Elena will be okay, she is with Stefan, he can take care of her," Damon seriously. Krystal picked up another bag, she started sucking it down, she had already packed everything and Damon made sure there wasn't any signs of blood anywhere. When the sun set and only the colors in the sky remained from the reflection of the sun's rays where it wouldn't hurt Krystal, they grabbed the bags and rushed out of the hotel. In no time they were on the road headed to the mall.


The ride was quiet,

"So game plan, grab a few things, throw them on in the changing room, and then meet me at the cashier, got it?" Damon explained as they got out at the mall,

"Got it," Krystal heading to Hot Topic, she grabbed a black corset shirt that was pretty much a corset with long sleeves attached, black shiny spandex pants, a pair of knee high tie up combat boots with thick heels, and a black pleather trench coat that had a purple and blue striped inside, she ran to the changing room and threw everything on and ripped the tags off so she was ready to hand them to the cashier, she grabbed her other clothes and shoes and quickly walked out of the changing room, Damon turned when he felt her coming, to say she was made for black and the gothic style was an understatement, she looked like a dark angel, maybe even a goddess, he was speechless. Krystal smirked and gave the tags to the woman,

"Also I need a bag," Krystal explained.

"Here this should cover it," Damon giving the woman $400, she gave Krystal a bag, she dropped her other clothes and shoes into the bag and they left.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Krystal confused as she reached into the back of the car and found a rubber band for her hair.

"You look mmm, delicious," Damon giving her a half smile with lusty filled eyes,

"Well maybe I'll let you taste me later," Krystal smirked as she braided her dark blonde hair and tied it off with a rubber band.

"Promise?" Damon asked, she smirked,

"How long until we get there?" Krystal asked.

"About an hour, grab two bags back there," Damon seriously,

"We need to pick up a hostage somewhere, a human one," Damon explained as he grabbed the bag from her, she ripped the top of her bag off with her fangs, Damon glanced at her, she was even more gorgeous in her gothic wear, she caught him biting his lip. Krystal shook her head,

"Down boy, at least until after the rescue mission," Krystal explained.

"Right," Damon drinking and driving,

"Are you going to be able to handle the barn while I distract?" Damon asked,

"Um, yeah, I got it covered, I took lessons in Tae Kwon Do, never had the guts to use any of it but all rules go out the window when you're a vampire so its no sweat," Krystal explained.
