”Betty!” Lysander cried out as he heard her breakdown. ”You sick bast-” he was cut off when Henry punched him in the side of his head, knocking him down but not out. ”What are you making her see?”
”Watch your mouth, little brother.” Henry snarled before snickering. ”I’m actually letting her see you. Seems like she really is scared of you.”
She threw a hand to her mouth to contain her sobs "Please Don't leave me" she sobbed out
“Y-you’re lying.” Lysander growled, not looking at Henry for a moment before glaring back at him. ”Your quarrel is with me. Leave her out of it and drop your illusion.”
”Why should I? You'll always be weak, Lysander!” Henry looked at him in disgust. ”I don't know why Charles turned you. You aren't worthy of this. And now you're deluding yourself into thinking that this pathetic human cares about you? There's only two things they want out of us.”
"Please I love you Come back to me" she said.
Lysander clamped his hand tightly around Henry's neck, glaring viciously. ”You’re wrong. Betty would never want that.” he snarled softly. ”You think I give a damn! Unlike you; I didn't ask for this!”
”ENOUGH!!” A hand tore Lysander’s grip away from Henry but swiftly grabbed the blond vampires ear. ”Drop it, Henry!”
More out of surprise than pain, Henry let the illusion shatter.
Betty blinked her eyes now a bright white she wiped her
(What do you mean her real dad? I was planning on that being Charles but now you got me curious )
(No let it be chrales hehe)
”Charles? What are you doing here? Let me go!” Lysander demanded, though clearly surprised at the man’s interference.
Charles was a taller man with hard hazel eyes and pitch-black hair, though there were a few strands of white as well. ”How far away do I need to separate you two this time?” he growled lowly, sounding very annoyed.
”You can throw him to the sun for all I care!” Henry snarked, continuing to glare.
Betty Gulped, stepping back. She had seen this Man before and He Had seen her.
”Henry, you're lucky I don't arrange for you to live in a glass house in Alaska during the summer.” Charles warned before turning to Lysander. ”And you. for the hundredth time: if you go for the throat, use your fangs, boy. Now, go and take care of the girl.”
Lysander stared for a moment as Charles released his wrist then ran over to Betty, kneeling in front of her. ”Betty, are you alright?”
She wrapped her arms around him burying her face in his neck, trembling.
Lysander gently returned the gesture and rubbed soothing circles on her back. “It’s alright. It wasn't real. You’re safe now.” Well, safe was relative with the other two men in the room. Charles probably only interfered because he hated seeing ”his boys” fight.
”Now, Henry, you go home and stay there until I come over. You and I are going to have a long talk.” Charles instructed firmly, giving the younger vampires ear a slight tug before releasing it.
Henry had stayed completely still, not wanting to accidentally lose his ear. ”Yes, father.” he grumbled, rubbing his ear slightly as he left still glaring at Lysander and Betty.
"Charles" she muttered under her breath
Lysander shuddered at hearing her speak his name. ”It’s alright, Betty. I won't let him hurt you.”
Charles stood against the other wall, just watching, giving the two of them space and time to calm down from Henry's outburst.
She clinged on to his arm digging her fingers in his shoulder
Lysander let her hold him as tightly as she wanted. It wouldn't hurt him anyway. ”Whatever Henry made you see, I promise it wasn't real. I would never hurt you. It's alright, love.”
"y-you were dead" she cried out.
That damned… he started to growl before holding her closer. ”It's not going to happen, Betty. I’m a Vampire. We're not easy to kill.” he attempted to calm her, not mentioning that in a way he already was, at least, partially dead.
She took a deep breath , her breath coming out shaky
Lysander placed a kiss to her cheek, glad that she seemed to be doing better.
she closed her eyes gently.
”Feeling better, love?” Lysander asked slowly starting to help her stand.
she got to her feet and nodded.
Lysander gave her an encouraging smile and kept an arm around her shoulders, holding her close but still able to move.
”Good. Now, which of you two are going to explain what is going on here with both of you?” Charles asked, surprisingly calmly.
