Lysander looked at Tyler with a mix of anger something almost like sympathy before casting an illusion around them, giving her a glimpse of what Betty showed him. Though he omitted a few personal details and the part about her mother.
”Bets! You ok?” Henry asked as he got close to her.
" stay away " she said.
”Betty, I'm not going to hurt you.” Henry held his hands in surrender and keeping a bit of distance between them. ”I just need your help.”
She looked at him her eyes white " what" she was losing color in her face
Henry nodded and ripped off a strip of his shirt. ”Can I do this before you pass out?” he took a small step toward her, gesturing to her neck. ”I have an idea… I don't know if it’ll work but if you're willing to hear me out.”
She nodded slowly
Henry gave her a reassuring smile and used the strip of his shirt to bandage her neck. ”So, turns out whatever link spell she used can't be broken by distance. But I think it works both ways. If something happens to you she’ll feel it instead of you.” he explained. ”So I’m hoping that if we do something to trigger a vision, maybe she’ll see it too?”
" to do that you have to hurt me" she said
”Hurt you how?” Henry asked cautiously, as he furrowed his brows. ”I’m trusting you on this since I have no idea how your power works.”
" bite me hit me anything" she said.
Henry bit his lip nervously. ”I… can do that but…” he let out a breath to steady myself. ”Just understand I don't want you hurt. I would rather hurt her but… If you show her something to change her mind about you…” he chuckled. ”I sound ridiculous. Ok. Ok. I'm stalling here. I'm just going to bite your wrist or something. I’ll bandage it right after then we’ll call Ly, ok?”
She nodded " it's okay I trust you" she said
Henry nodded his thanks with a weak smile as he gently took her hand, bringing it up to his mouth. ”I’m sorry to do this.” he told her softly before closing his eyes and quickly biting into her wrist.
Tyler's wrist started to bleed and she let out a piercing scream
Lysander watched with a deep frown as he knew what that meant but he couldn't do anything about it. ”Remove your link to Betty and I won't hurt you after. But I will make you leave.”
Almost as quickly as he bit down, Henry releases Betty's wrist and tears another piece of his shirt to bandage what he did. ”Did it work?”
Tyler rolled her eyes but released her link
”Bets? Are you ok?” Henry asked in concern. ”I didn't go overboard with it, did I?”
Lysander loosened his grip, still holding Tyler firmly in place but now it could almost be mistaken for physically supportive then restraint.
"something's wrong " b tty said then passed out along with tyler
Tyler didn't fall much as Lysander still had a steady hold on her. He furrowed his brow in confusion and worry, for Betty, and listened carefully for her heartbeat.
Henry swore as he caught Betty from hitting the ground. ”Ok. This is not good.” he mutters to himself. He carefully held Betty and started flying back to Lysander’s house. ”Oh, is Ly going to be ticked.”
Betty's breath was uneven as was Tyler's
”Hang on, Bets. You're going to be alright. You'll probably call me an idiot for worrying this much as soon as you wake up.” Henry rambled. He couldn't tell if he was trying to talk her back to consciousness or if he was trying to reassure himself.
Lysander’s frown deepened. He wasn't certain what happened but he couldn't just stand here and do nothing. Making up his mind, he text Henry that he’s taking Tyler to the hospital and for him to just bring Betty home.
Tyler opened her eyes ¨No¨ she said then smiled.
Lysander raised a brow at Tyler suddenly awakening despite her condition. ”No to what? You were unconscious and are still hurt, so I'm taking you to a see a doctor I know. He won't be phased by the bite marks.” he told her firmly.
She laughed
Betty was dieing Tyler was killing her there was no saving her now unless… she turned
Henry could hear Betty's heart weakening as they got closer. He had to land since his mind was too panicked for flight at the moment. ”Is this what you saw Betty? I can't get you back any faster and I don't know what's wrong with you. I wish I knew what that witch did to you.” he said holding back tears, he would later deny as he removed the bloodstained cloth from her neck. ”I don't know what else to do.”
Lysander glared at Tyler as she laughed. He knew that kind of laugh, the boastful ”I know something you don't” laugh and he hated it.
”What. Did. You. Do?” he growled thinly.
Betty was fading ¨I´m dieing hen¨ she said.
Tyler just smiled with a chuckle.
Henry looked at Betty, surprised to hear her voice. ”Save your strength, Bets. You're going to be alright.” he promised, though he was unsure. ”I won't let you die. You're my best friend. Just blink once for yes and twice for no. Is this how I turn you?” he asked looking at her face.
¨I can´t remeber´ she said.
”Try not to talk.” Henry begged. ”If I do this, you'll be unconscious for a while. I don't know how long but I promise you that me and Lysander will be by your side the whole time.” he held her gently supporting her body. ”Do you want me to do this?”
She nodded "if you want me to be with you both in the future" she said.
