Krystal wound up on the other side in the pouring rain, near the docks, she stood out over the water, a café next to her, all the people's conversations were giving her a migraine, she had calmed for only the second, and took in the air, she wanted to disappear with her brother and her parents, but they were right, every one of her dead family members were right, she had Kate to survive for, and for now she had Stefan but she was so sure he would run back to Elena and try to make it work with her for his unborn child. Suddenly she picked up on a song from a nearby radio;
I've been left out alone like a damn criminal
I've been praying for help cause I cant take it all
I'm not done
Its not over
Krystal turned to listen to it, again her brother had been right, he had always been right, she felt another storm coming on, she turned and looked back out at the water, she wondered if the waves would ever calm long enough to give her a chance to life without fighting so hard. This storm she wasn't so sure she could survive, she didn't know when it was going to hit, maybe her grandmother could tell her, it was going to be a battle of a century, and she knew it was going to be her battle, and hers alone, she couldn't ask Stefan to get involved, or Damon, this time she had to fight alone.
Now I'm fighting this war since the day of the fall
And I'm desperately holding onto it all
But I'm lost
I'm so damn lost
She let the rain pelt down on her, she ran again, she didn't want to be this way if she had to fight a war her whole immortal life, it wasn't worth it. She took off again, just running, running through the angry storm, it was as if all her emotions were pouring out through the heavy dark clouds from above, and every rain drop was filled with her guilt, the guilt that ate at her because she had left her brother to die by the hands of the mob, the guilt that ate at her because she had got involved with such a bastard, anger and hatred for those people she had once called friends until they found her a freak because she had tried to protect one of them from getting killed in a car wreck, all the guilt and depression she felt for telling her father about the guy that she had got involved with and them getting killed because of her.
She was lost, she had lost the people that had kept her from falling off that cliff, she didn't do who to trust. Would Eddie soon turn her sister against her and turn Kate against her because she was a vampire? Would Stefan be there for her for now and once his child was born go running back to Elena to try to make it work and eventually get married? She stood on top of one of the mountain tops, snow swirling around her. She was blinded that she knew for sure.
Oh I wish it was over
And I wish you were here
Still I'm hoping that somehow
She wanted it to be over, she wanted to die with her parents, and she wouldn't feel like this, everywhere the snow touched her stung, she wanted them here with her, but it seemed that this was as close as she was going to be to them for now, standing on Pikes Peak, the tallest mountain in Colorado, where people have been known to pass out from the thin oxygen. But she had already stopped breathing long before now, her chest hurt, she wanted to rip her own heart out because of the pain she felt.
"I'm sorry," Krystal screamed out to the heavens, she fell to her knees, she given up her space in heaven for her sister, to protect her from this monster that came after them, and whoever was coming back, she just had to protect the people she had left, but she didn't feel like she had the strength to fight anymore, she was holding onto all of the guilt she felt, all the hate and rage. She wanted to fling herself over that mountain and die, but she knew she wouldn't die, she was a vampire, it would hurt like hell but unless she was really lucky and a tree branch stabbed her in the heart she wouldn't die.
Cause your soul is on fire
A shot in the dark
What did they aim for when they missed your heart?
I breathe underwater
It's all in my hands
But what can I do?
Don't let it fall apart
A shot in the dark
A shot in the dark
She suddenly felt something running through her, she didn't know what it was, or where it came from, but she was running with her vampire speed again, she had no idea where she was running to, she let out her fangs, she let her anger take over, destroying trees that got in her way, throwing them as if they were twigs. She let out a scream, her veins popping up underneath her skin in her neck, she ran some more when she stopped again she was at one of the lakes it was still storming and raining, she was eye to eye to deer, they locked eyes.
In the blink of an eye
I can see through your eyes
As I'm lying awake
I'm still hearing the cries
And it hurts
Hurts me so bad
Suddenly Krystal was hit with the blinding memory of the night of the wreck, the tension of panic filling the car to where she couldn't breathe, she remembered the panic in her father's eyes as glance back at her trying to tell her that it was going to be alright, her mother's and father's cries when a blinding and excruciating numbing pain took over and silenced the car, but she still heard someone crying out, she thought about it for a second, and realized the only other person who could have been screaming at the time was her.
And I'm wondering why
I still fight in this life
Cause I've lost all my faith in this damn bitter strife
And its sad
Its so damn sad
She wonder why she still fought in this life, she was already dead, the only thing that kept her alive in sense was drinking blood, she had become one of the night creature's that was supposed to drain people of blood. Cadence had Eddie to protect her, Elena had the Salvatore brother's to keep her safe, who did she have to protect her, would she ever have anyone to protect her? She had lost faith in finding someone that would ever truly love her, more so now than ever, she couldn't date like a human could, she had to date a vampire, and she didn't know any other vampires. Her afterlife was a pathetic and sad one so far, would it ever get better?
Oh I wish it was over
And I wish you were here
Still I'm hoping that somehow
Cause your soul is on fire
A shot in the dark
What did they aim for when they missed your heart?
I breathe underwater
Its all in my hands
But what can I do?
Don't let it fall apart
A shot in the dark
A shot in the dark
A shot in the dark
A shot in the dark
A shot in the dark
There she felt it again, it was stronger, so much stronger now, like her soul was on fire, like she had her brother's, her mother's, and her father's strength all laying inside her soul, that they were with her, just there laying in wait in her soul with her. She was running again, she felt them beside her, like they were running with her, but when she really opened her eyes she found she was standing at the other end of the graveyard they were buried in. Reality slapped her in the face, they were gone, they weren't coming back, and she would never see them again, not when she sold her soul to the devil to protect her sister.
I feel you are fading away
I feel you are fading away
I feel you are fading away
I feel you are fading away
Cause your soul is on fire
A shot in the dark
What did they aim for when they missed your heart?
I breathe underwater
Its all in my hands
But what can I do
Don't let it fall apart
She could feel him just laying in wait on the other side of the graveyard for her. Why was he waiting for her, why didn't he just leave with Cadence and Eddie, Kate needed him while she was running crazy. He couldn't possibly be waiting to consol her could he? As she walked toward the two newly covered graves she felt another shot to her chest, like someone had shot her with a bullet but they had missed her heart, such torture, worse than anything that the bastard could have ever done to her, what did they aim for when they had missed her heart? She finally fell at the feet of the graves, within the pouring rain she stared at the mud, this was where her parents would always remain, underneath this mud and grass.
Oh your soul is on fire
A shot in the dark
What did they aim for when they missed your heart?
I breathe underwater
Its all in my hands
But what can I do
Don't let it fall apart
Again it felt like her soul had a flame to it, she was drowning in underneath the water, but maybe with him she could learn how to breathe underwater. It felt like she had held them all in her hands, but what could she do now but to finish protecting her sister and Kate. She screamed out to the heavens as she sunk her nails through the mud of each grave, they should have buried her too.
A shot in the dark
A shot in the dark
A shot in the dark
A shot in the dark
A shot in the dark
By the time she was finished screaming Stefan was sitting there and holding her tight, trying to consol her, to be there for her when she needed someone, she finally wrapped her arms around his torso and sunk her muddy nails into the sweater and piercing his skin because she held on for dear life as she screamed out her pain in the pouring rain.
