Damon knew late night talks after a rough day always resulted in bad outcomes such as this. Krystal couldn't breathe at the moment, after bringing up the horrors in her past life still had her tremble in fear and break into thousands of pieces. She tripped over her own feet when she entered the living room, causing her to fall in the floor, Stefan was on the phone with Bonnie.
"I'm going to have to call you back," Stefan glancing over at Krystal on the floor, gasping for air, holding herself and trembling. Stefan put the phone down,
"Krystal, what's wrong?" Stefan trying to find out what was wrong with her, Krystal quickly crawled into the corner as if Stefan was going to hurt her. She couldn't stop crying or shaking, Damon thought about Elena and how she had said that he always made a dramatic thing if there was a 'bump in the road' but he wasn't going to do that now, he wanted something with Krystal, he jumped up and came out into the living room finding Stefan trying to calm her down but it wasn't working, he couldn't get near her.
"What did you do to her?" Stefan sounding pissed,
"I didn't do anything," Damon harshly.
"S-stop, stop fighting," Krystal stuttered out, they both looked at her, Damon licked his lips to wet the dryness on them, he had never done anything like he was about to do, but if he want to have anything with this gorgeous woman, he had to try, and he had seen Stefan do it a million times, he could it just as well.
"Krystal, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bring up your past, you are safe here, with us, with me, I wont hurt you like he did, please, just calm down," Damon getting low and inching closer to her.
"He's going to find me, he will kill me, I cant fight him, I-I cant stand up against him," Krystal pressing herself into the wall.
"He wont hurt you, I wont let him, I promise you, no one is going to ever hurt you like that again," Damon explained in a calm and soothing voice. Slowly he held his hand out for her to take,
"You are a vampire now, you are starting out fresh, remember, no one can ever hurt you again," Damon still having his hand out for her to take.
"I'm scared of him, I cant go against him," Krystal staring at Damon's blue eyes, he stared her icy blue down,
"I wont let him touch you Krystal, you have me and Stefan, we are your friends, we will not let him come near you," Damon seriously. Krystal looked up at Stefan, he gave her a gentle nod, she looked back at Damon's hand, slowly she reached out and took his hand. Damon gave her a half smile,
"I'm going to carry you back to our room okay?" Damon gently her in his arms.
"I'm hungry," Krystal mumbled, he could still feel her shaking a little,
"Stefan, can you grab a bag from the fridge?" Damon asked,
"Yeah sure," Stefan stunned. Damon got her back in his bed,
"Shh, I wont let him hurt you," Damon wiping her tears away and holding the sides of her head. She nodded a little,
"You are safe with us okay, I promise you," Damon pulling the covers over them both. She clung to him as if he was her only life line. Stefan walked in with a bag and gave it to Damon,
"Here," Damon pulling her off of him and putting the bag in her hands, he popped the top off for her and she drank it slowly,
"Krystal, we'll need you to give us a description of this guy and his name, we can do that tomorrow though, alright?" Stefan asked, Krystal nodded slowly.
"Alright, goodnight you two," Stefan leaving the room, he made sure the front door was locked, then went and joined Elena in bed.
"I'm sorry," Damon softly as he stared in her eyes,
"I just, I cant talk about that stuff," Krystal mumbled,
"Okay, you'll be okay," Damon explained,
"My sister, he knows about my sister, he promised to kill everyone in my family if I told anyone, if I went missing from town, we have to protect her, at least until he is dead," Krystal seriously.
"We'll figure it out in the morning, right now you need sleep," Damon explained, she nodded and laid back down under the covers. Damon took the blood bag to the bathroom sink and came back to bed, he curled up to Krystal and fell asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow.
