”No. We're married now… have been for almost four years. I won't give up on you. On us.” he told her.

"I don't know what to do anymore" she said

”Do you still love me?” he asked her, a little nervous.

She looked at him with a sad sigh

He looked at her, a little bit scared that she might say no. He nervously clenched a fist in the mud beside him.

" No" she said

Lysander froze. ”You… you don't…” he looked at her, his eyes wide and full of hurt.

" No" she repeated with a neutral face

”I don't… Why?” he asked listening closely to her heartbeat.

Betty was able to control her heart beat " our marriage has been falling apart since the beginning"

”No, it hasn't.” he said, confused how she thought that. ”We’ve gone through a couple of rough spots but what married couple hasn't? It doesn't mean we're doing anything wrong.”

" I don't love you anymore" she said

”Is it Evan?” he asked, not looking at her this time.

She nodded she knew this was hurting him but it was for his own good

He shook his head. ”Why are you making this difficult?” he sighed. ”He doesn't love anyone. I’m starting to think he never did. If he likes you at all, it's only because he has half your heart.” he explained, the steam turning into a mist around him.

" why are you still here just leave me alone" she said

”Because I don't believe you.” he said. ”And even if you are telling the truth, I still love you.”

She rolled her eyes " I don't love you" she yelled her her eyes turning yellow and her crystal glowing

”Why not?” he actually shouted back.

" Because I've been out of love with you for a while" she said

A few weeks passed and lysander Henry Tyler Laurabeth and unfortunately Marie were at the cabin and Betty was still gone but Marie's mark was gone.

Betty walked into the house in jeans and a flannel and she had a mark on her wrist like Marie's old one she was wearing a flannel shirt jeans and boots she had a black eye a bustled lip a cut eyebrow and strangulation marks on her neck

Lysander still refused to believe that Betty didn't love him, but he didn't search for her this time. He had a daughter he couldn't let down.

Henry often visited the cabin, hoping to see his sister come home or to make sure his brother was ok. It was hard to believe that the two boys had ever been anything but close.

No one really understood why Marie was there. Lysander was pointedly ignoring her and Henry didn't do much beyond occasionally glare at her.

Betty walked inside closing the door behind her loudly on.accidwnt

”Mama!” Laura-Beth exclaimed happily and ran over to her, hugging her. She hadn't been sleeping well at all since her mom hadn't been home.

She gasped at the contact " hey pretty girl" she said

”I missed you.” Laura-Beth said, holding on tightly.

”She’s not the only one.” Henry smiled at her, glancing over her injuries. ”Are you alright?”

Betty frowned " I didn't want to leave but he owns me now and he was going to hurt him and I couldn't take that" she said

”He what?” Henry asked.

Marie looked up at Betty. ”That explains why my mark is gone.”

Lysander glared at Marie but didn't say anything.

" Yeah your welcome" she muttered coldly " it's horrible Hen I can't do it it's happening all over again he hits me pushes me and strangles me" she said

”Then why did you go back to him?” Lysander asked softly.

"He said he'd kill you" she said
