Lysander sighed at the answer, not convinced. ”Do you want to tell me when we're alone?” he whispered very softly.

"It's nothing I'm just sick I've been sick for weeks I've been.coughing up blood sneezing blood I'm on pills " she Said

Lysander nodded, gently placing a hand on her back. ”Would you like to lay down for a bit?”

She shook her head "No"

”Then… will you at least sit down?” he suggested gently.

"I'm fine" she said

He sighed, shaking his head. ”Fine, stubborn… but if you start coughing again or feel lightheaded, please, rest.” he begged, gently taking her hand.

"I've coughing for weeks" she said

”And you've been in bed for most of that time.” he pointed out. ”Please, love. I just want you to get better.”

"I'm not going to it's a wolf thing" she said walking to Cole and going to feed him

”So… this isn't because of the attack?” Evan asked, still ashamed by that whole thing.

"No it's a dieseae* she said

Lysander turned to face her in shock at that. ”What? Why didn't you tell me that?”

”What disease is it and is there a cure?” Charles asked much calmer that Lysander.

"it's caused when a werewolf and vampire mate I start to cough up blood then I'll get then bruises then my body will refuse blood and then silver will begin burning me then I'll start passing out and then I'll start phasing into a werewolf completely losing control"

Lysander's jaw dropped as she explained what was wrong. He knew how much the two… "species" hated each other for the longest time but he never knew that their biology rejected a relationship like this…

"Is there a cure?" Charles asked again, a slight waver in his voice at the thought of what was happening to his daughter.

Evan stood up, looking at her in worry. "If there's anything I can do to help… Just tell me."

"there is but I'm not doing it" she said

"What is it?" Evan asked, curious to know what could make Betty reluctant to heal… besides her apparent habit of being a bit of a martyr.

"I'd have to cut all ties with vampires and then I'd have to have my memory erased"

Everyone stared wide-eyed at that, not wanting to go through with it either.

"A… and that's the only way?" Lysander asked softly.

She nodded"Henry would be gone Evan gone the kids gone my dad would have to disown me the gone then lysander would divorce me then gone" she said

"I… I can't do that." Lysander whispered, almost horror-struck at the idea.

"Well it's quite easy just sign some papers and poof " she said but you could see the heartbrokeness in her eyes

Lysander closed his eyes, shaking his head. "I can't… I wouldn't be able to… survive without you." he told her, choking back the sobs that were working up his throat.

Charles was frowning thoughtfully, refusing to believe that was the only way to save her.

"Lysander your strong you'd be able to live without me" she said

"You remember what I was like when you went to Australia." he insisted. "I would try… for the kids, but I don't think I would be able to."

"Lysander it's going to alright you'll survive you did once you will again" she said

"I barely survived." Lysander argued, not raising his voice. "And I don't even know if I could call that personal hell; survival. I can't lose you."

Charles shook his head. "I have an old friend… She may be able to help… somehow." he interrupted. "She's very powerful and, occasionally, more reasonable than James." he added, a little doubtful.

" I've cheated my fate to many times already" she said

"It's not a cheat." Charles assured her. "She knows what it's like to lose people you care most about. I'm sure she can arrange something reasonable… _{for a price} ." he added under his breath.

"No Tyler can you put you all under a spell you won't remember me I'll be replaced "
