"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 "

"Nothing can replace you." Lysander shook his head. "I won't do it."

"you'll go back to when you were in love with someone else your soulmate" she said

Lysander looked at her and clasped her hands. "You are my soulmate. No one else. Marie is my killer. I won't give you up."

"Oh Ly you know I don't want to I love you more than anything but if I wolf out I could hurt you are you going to do what needs to be done will you be able to kill me if things get out of hand" she said

"No." he admitted softly, looking at her hands.

"why not?'

"I love you too much to hurt you… Even if you wanted me too." Lysander told her.

Charles rubbed his forehead, still planing to give his friend a chance to help and willing to pay for it himself.

"Dad were not going to your friend there's another option " she walked over to the counter opening the drawer she held out a key "this is the key to Alec's basement"

Charles looked up at her, surprised that she knew what he had been thinking but raised a brow at the second option.

Lysander’s eyes reflexively turned red at the memory of that place but he closed them before she could see the color. ”What’s there that can help you?” he asked, willing to try anything else before the first suggestion.

"During a full moon there are chains down there you can chain me up there are needles that will stab into my wrists and I can get you wolfsbane"
