”Well, I suppose I should start.” Henry said as he sat down next to her. ”You remember what I told you about Charles and us?” he asked gesturing to himself and Lysander who had sat down on the other side of Betty.

She nodded " I do " she said at the same time shivering at those words.

“Hey, it's alright Betty.” Henry calmed. ”I don't have that on you. I gave it up. I’ll still help you out any way you need me to but I don't have ”Vampire Parent control” on you. I promise.”

Lysander placed a comforting arm around Betty's shoulders. ”He’s telling the truth. We both thought it would be too weird to have that.”

She chuckled, and shook her head "I love you" she said.

”I love you too.” they both answered at the same time. Henry and Lysander immediately shared an awkward look once they realized what they did and quickly looked away.

She giggled " I was talking to both of you " she said and leaned her head on Lysander.

Lysander chuckled a bit awkwardly but smiled as she leaned against him. ”That's a bit of a relief.”

”H-how are you feeling, Bets?” Henry asked, still looking at the ground.

" Fine" she said confidentially.

”But you're hungry.” Henry pointed out. ”Don’t deny it, Bets. The first time you feel it, it's near impossible to ignore.”

Betty held her head her fangs coming out but she quickly made them go back in

Henry and Lysander caught the reflex and Lysander held her closer while Henry nodded at being right. ”It’s alright, Bets. It's normal for us. Over time it'll get easier to handle.” Henry promised softly.

”In the meantime, we have a solution until we teach you how to hunt.” Lysander said with a slightly dark look in his eyes.

Out of instinct she struggled against Lysander she felt trapped like she was being held captive

Lysander immediately let her go as soon as she pushed away. ”Betty, what’s wrong?” he asked, his eyes filled with nothing but concern now.

”I told you she wouldn't go for this.” Henry groaned, running a hand through his hair.

She looked at them both " I know what your thinking and No I won't do you should know me better than that if I have to die I will" she said

Lysander ignored Henry’s pointed ”I told you so” look. ”Betty, you won't die if you don't feed but you will get weak. I don't just mean physically, though that does happen. Your head will feel like it's going to split open and the next thing you know; you blink and you're covered in someone's blood.” Lysander explained. ”Remember, I put off feeding until I killed my mother and father.”

" then let's love the problem wood kills vampires right" she asked and picked up a sharp piece of wood off her desk and held it firmly so the boys couldn't take it.

”Only a certain type of wood, Betty.” Lysander pointed out. ”And you won't find that kind anywhere near us. And silver doesn't hurt us either. That has a similar effect on us like gold on a dragon.”

”Look, let's not go crazy here, Bets.” Henry stood and looked at her. ”I knew you wouldn't do this. You're not ready but you do need to drink. Which is why I snuck into the hospital’s blood supply and snagged you this.” he said pulling out an IV bag full of blood for her. ”It’ll taste a bit funny but it’ll help you. You’ll still have to bite it to get used to your fangs but it will help.”

She threw the wood down and took the bag sitting by henry. She couldn't believe that the person she loved thought so lowly of her that she would harm another person.

Henry gave Betty a small encouraging smile as she took the bag. ”Go ahead, drink it. You’ll feel better after.” he said gently.

Lysander shifted nervously, wondering why Betty seemed so angry at him. The first time he fed was on a random person Charles brought to him. He had barely been able to keep from draining the man but despite the feeling that it gave him, he felt sick to his stomach not seconds later.

Betty's fangs showed. Her eyes turned pitch black and black veins were under her eyes. She carefully bit into the bag and drained the bag of every last drop of blood and when she was done she just had some blood on the corner of her mouth.

Henry chuckled, gently wiping the blood off her lip with his thumb. ”See? I told you you’d feel better.” he smiled at her and licked the drop off his thumb like it was chocolate. ”Don’t be mad at him, Bets. He's still angry at you getting hurt. If it weren't for you being here, I doubt he would talk to me.” he whispered very softly so only she would hear.

She sighed. " I know " she whispered back equally as soft her eyes going normal but her fangs still there.

Henry nodded giving a smaller smile. ”You seem to have adjusted to your sharper hearing well and quite quickly.” he observed happily at a normal volume.

Lysander blinked at that since he didn't hear anything before that and looked at the two of them but didn't say anything yet.

She nodded closing her eyes then opening it

”I bet you can already see better too.” Henry smirked, confidently.

”You should take some time to let yourself get used to your new senses.” Lysander pointed out gently.
