Henry quickly grabbed Betty's wrist, trying to gently remove it from Tyler's throat. ”Stop it, Betty. This isn't like you.” he said softly but firmly.
Lysander glared at Tyler. ”Don't pretend to know what I think or feel. I care about Elizabeth more than anything else in the world! I would rather die first than hurt her!” he snarled, his own fangs showing.
"Henry don't even try " her gaze shifted back to tyler " say one wrong thing Tyler I tear you because I'm feeling kind of hungry" Betty said
Tyler snarled "he'll never love you no one ever will your monster Elizabeth strange and you always will be hope you burn in hell"
Betty looked at Henry" you're on her side? You've known me for 10 f** years and you're on her side?" She asked raising her voice then turning back to Tyler.
”Call her a monster again, you witch, and she won't get a chance to kill you.” Lysander promised Tyler. ”I’m already Hellbound anyways.”
“I’m not against you, Bets.” Henry explained calmly. ”I just don't want you to do something I know you’ll regret later. If you're hungry, I can teach you how to hunt tonight.” he offered.
"who knows Henry you might just say that so you can get me alone and kill me again. Betty yelled angirly and started to let go of Tyler
" Your boyfriend is a monster too" Tyler said
Betty swonger fist and hit Tyler in the jw knocking her to the ground
Henry closed his eyes, as those words hurt more than any physical blow he had experienced in a very, very long time. Hell, a canon hurt less than that accusation. He let go of her arm and stepped away. ”I never wanted to do that.” he said softly, almost barely audible. ”I’m sorry that you don't trust me anymore… I guess I deserve it but… I literally had no choice. I know that's not an excuse either but…” he sighed, not looking at anyone.
" right " Betty said and started to let go of Tyler
" Your boyfriend's a monster too"
Betty snapped and swingHer fist at Tyler hitting her in the jaw knocking her to the ground
Lysander looked at Betty with concern and impressed surprise. ”Nice control of your strength.” he commented. ”You could have broken her neck otherwise. When did you practice?”
Henry winced at the sound of the hit but he forced himself not to move yet.
" I'm a wolf by heart " Betty said then looked at Tyler " leave"
" We're not leaving" Tyler said.
" Fine if you won't…I will" Betty said heading for the door not caring the sun was up
"You'll burn" Tyler said.
" I don't care" Betty said as she continued for the door.
Lysander gave a small smile at Betty's wolf comment but ran to stop her when she said she was leaving. ”I care. It's not even noon yet, the sun will only get worse for us.” he warned her with his hand against the door.
”I’ll leave. It's obvious I’m not welcome here. I wouldn't be surprised if I was never welcomed back again.” Henry said still looking down, hiding the watery look in his eyes.
Betty sighed, there's only one way she was going to get out of here "no one is leaving except me" she looked at her fiance " I want to go home I want to be with my brothers and my dad cuz they're all I have left now they're the only ones that care there's only one who loved me so please just let me go home I'm begging you"Betty said starting to cry she didn't want to leave but she had to do what she had to do to keep her family safe so she wouldn't end up killing her father.
"
Lysander sighed. He could tell she was upset and using that to convince him to let her go. And it was working. ”I don't suppose I could convince you to wait until sunset?” he asked, already suspecting her answer.
She shook her head she took his hand in her own placing the ring in his palm closing her fingers
Lysander didn't protest when she took the sun ring as he would have given it to her anyways. ”Be careful, my love.” he said gently stroking her cheek before kissing her goodbye. ”You will come back, won’t you?” he asked with pleading eyes.
"Lysander" she said placing her wedding ring in his palm closing his fingers
Lysander looked at his closed fist in mild fear. ”What are you doing?” his voice cracking slightly as he asked the question.
She cupped his face " I love you and I always will" she said
”And I you… forever.” he promised, holding the ring back out to her. ”But please… Keep this… to remember me at least?”
"I'll always remember you for all my existence" she said a tear rolling down . She didn't want to do this someone was making her
(Charles?)
”Then tell me you’ll come back?” he begged. He wasn't asking her to lie to him, he just wanted to hear her say that she would. He could wait for her as long as she needed him to if she would say that.
Before she had a chance to answer, Charles opened the door with his own ring glinting on his finger. ”Is everything alright?” he asked far too smooth and calm.
Betty turned around and flashed her fangs " you fucking asshole" she said
Lysander and Henry took a step away from the door as the sun came in but were very surprised at Betty's actions towards Charles… Even if they agreed with the sentiment. ”Why are you here, Charles?” Lysander asked coldly, very suspicious of the convenient appearance of the elder vampire.
”I could tell my boys were unhappier than normal lately and came to check on you.” was Charles’ serene reply.
Henry glared angrily at the floor, not trusting to look at his… once father. ”You know exactly why I’ve been miserable, you bastard.” he growled softly.
" first you control his life then mine I'm not even yours" Betty growled
Lysander blinked in slight surprise. He had suspected that was what happened to Henry but…
”His was a test. And he failed.” Charles told Betty, frowning slightly. Which was actually an impressive feat for Charles as he rarely showed much expression. ”I suppose he doesn't care about you as much as I thought.” he turned his full gaze upon Betty. ”You were much harder to reach. True, I didn't turn you but one of mine did so I still have some influence. You need to go home and see your blood family. No tricks, you just need to spend time with them and get your head straight.” his voice was sincere by the end.
" you told me not to marry Lysander why" she asked.
”WHAT?!?” Lysander and Henry asked in complete shock, Henry finally snapping his head up to look at Charles.
Charles looked at his boys and the two girls, though his gaze lingered on Tyler for a second longer. ”I have two reasons but first let me say that I know nothing can stop an Eternal pair.” he told them. ”My reasons for interfering at this time are that right now Betty is, regrettably, dangerous due to her darker side and she needs time to calm down and control it. The second is that she needs to speak with her wolf of a father. He may not live as long as we do but it would be unwise for you to marry until you convince him that you are no passive object to be passed off for his benefit.” he addressed Betty specifically.
" is that why you killed my mother?" She asked.
Charles sighed, running his fingers through his short salt and pepper hair. ”Is that what your father told you?”
" fine I'll leave it then i.want.you to.erase my memories of Henry Tyler and . . .Lysander " she said
”No! Don't!” Lysander said as he ran in between Betty and Charles. ”I won't let you!”
Charles raised a brow at her request but shook his head. ”Even if I did, it would not last. Sooner or later you would remember again.”
" then do it no damages done right?" She said.
