Henry rolled his eyes and opened the door with a slight glare. ”Now’s not the time for an ”I told you so”, Tyler. Just lock the door behind me and you’d better open it back up when I come back.” he instructed as he shut it.
Lysander’s eyes darkened. ”Don’t call me that.” his growl much more prominent before locking the door again.
Betty was in the corner of the room shaking blood rolling down her cheeks from her eyes.
”I’m here, Bets.” Henry said softly as he approached. ”Just hang in there, ok?” he carefully picked up a couple of chains and knelt down to put them on her. ”I hate doing this.”
"i know but it's for safety you'll really trying to kill me if I kill Tyler
Henry froze for a moment before reaching for her arm. ”I honestly don't know, Betty. I told you I don't want to hurt you but… Yeah, I don't want you to hurt her either.” he agreed as he closed one of the chains around her wrist.
" can you send you a brother in "Betty asked.
”Of course…sister.” Henry said as he finished with the chains and kissed her forehead before leaving.
Lysander came in a moment later and sat in front of her looking both tense and sad. ”Are you alright?”
"I'm chained to a wall , are you alright?"
“I’m worried about you. Does this happen often?”
" only when dark Betty makes an appearance" she said
”And how often is that?” he asked in concern.
" when she falls in love" Betty said with a gentle smile a blood made tear rolling down her cheek
Lysander looked at her in mild surprise but gave her a soft smile as well. ”What happens to you when this happens?” he asked gently brushing away her tear and cupping her cheek.
Betty weighs her hand on top of his she was chained up but she did have a little bit of freeway " I change I won't be the same girl you knew I won't be the same girl you loved I'll be a monster you won't want tobe around me you won't love me anymore you want me gone dead even" she said
”Never.” he promised, placing his other hand on her face as well. ”I will always love you. I'd sooner kill myself than want to hurt you. Remember?”
"If I die I won't come back this time but if that's what needs to done then-"
”It won't come to that. I’ll always be here for you, my darling.” he kissed her lips. If something does happen then I’ll see you on the other side.
Betty kissed him back more bloody tears rolling down her cheek
He slowly pulled away and rested his forehead against hers. ”How long does this last?”
"untill someone stops it but no matter what happens I Elizabeth Rose Strange will always love you " she said. " Till death do us part and eons after that"
”And I, Lysander Castevau, will always love you until all the stars burn out and the moon falls to Earth… Death won't keep us apart for long.” he promised her.
" Good because I can't make it without you" she said.
He chuckled softly. ”I don't believe that. You're already stronger than you think you are. Honestly, not everyone survives becoming a vampire. There are a few who have a bad reaction to the venom that changes you.”
" well when you've been used as a blood bag beaten drowned you get used to everything," she said
”That’s not what I meant.” Lysander held back a low growl at the memory of how she was treated before their arrangement.
Betty grabbed his hands "I love you and I always will remember that" she said
He took her hands and brought them up to his mouth, kissing the back of both of them. ”I will always love you, my Eternal.”
Betty smiled gently putting her hand on the side of his neck.
Lysander shivered slightly at the touch but he looked up and met her beautiful blue eyes. ”You said that this only happens when she falls in love… Did you mean that your darker side loves me as well?”
" every part of me loves you you saw the light in my darkness no one can see the light in me" she said
