Betty layed her head on Henry's shoulder with a sigh.

Henry gently wrapped his arms around her in a hug. ”It’s ok, Bets. We’re both here to help you. If it gets overwhelming just let us know.”

Lysander looked back at the floor, unsure if he was upset with himself for making Betty want to get away from him or if he was a little angry at Henry for being the comfort she needed right now.

She sighed . She could hear Tyler's uneven breathing her beating heart, could smell her blood .

Henry wasn't going to dodge the topic, Lysander was already mad at him anyway. ”You know who’s here, don't you Bets?” he asked, sure of her answer.

Sh sighed once more " I can smell her blood" she said. Resting her face in the crook of his neck.

Lysander flinched at the reminder of Tyler. ”It was the only way we could be sure she wouldn't hurt you.” he murmured weakly at the pathetic excuse.

”We’ve been taking care of her the whole time.” Henry reassured. ”We haven't hurt her or anything.”

"id have both your heads if you did… After what she's been through no one should have to go through that" she said.

”What she’s been through?” Lysander asked in surprise. ”Betty, she tried to kill you.” He reminded a little angrily.

”Ly, calm down.” Henry warned. ”You told me that Tyler said her parents were killed. I still have a hard time believing it was because of Betty but you and I both know what it feels like to want revenge.”

" I killed her father after she killed my brother I think it was perfectly fair she wants to kill me game on I will fight her if I have to " she said standing up going to the window

Lysander tried not to smile at the mention of the deaths but he was relieved to hear that Betty did have a reason for her actions. ”It sounds like things are already fair between you two.” he commented. ”You both already lost someone. There's no need for more death between you.”

Henry nodded. ”An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind. Besides, just because you're a vampire now doesn't mean you can handle a fight yet. She was able to magically break every bone I have and you don't know your own strength now, Bets.” he pointed out.

" I could fight her before" she said

”Maybe you could and we just didn't give you a chance before but that was because we didn't want you to get hurt.” Henry explained. ”Humans are fragile compared to us, Bets. You hug someone wrong and you pierce their lung with their ribs.”

”And she was… is still able to hurt us because of her magic.” Lysander said. ”Not to mention we don't know how or if your gift has changed in any way because of you turning.”

"right I was screwed up and now I'm even more screwed up even if I don't want to be here my family would never take me back now" she said for some reason when she turned all her emotions were hightened

”Betty, listen to me.” Lysander said standing in front of her, looking at her eyes. ”You were never screwed up. And you as a person haven't changed. Yes, you still need to get used to being a vampire but who you are is still the same.”

She sighed running a hand through her blonde hair.

“He’s telling the truth, Bets.” Henry told her.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door it was Betty's father he came to get her deciding he didn't want her to get married to Lysander and wanted someone else.

”I’ll get that.” Lysander said, a little relieved by the interruption, before he headed to the door at a normal speed. He felt like he was in the way with all three of them in the room. Henry was right. She didn't want to go through with my idea… despite the fact that that woman tried to kill her. he sighed to himself as he opened the door. Of course she's mad at me.

The man looked at Lysander " I'm looking for Betty " he said Betty came down the stairs " dad?" Betty asked " come Betty I have a different man who you will marry" she said

Lysander blinked in surprise at seeing Betty's father at the door but was a bit more so at how blatantly the man was willing to pass Betty around like a trophy. ”Look, Mr. Strange now's really not a good time for any of whatever plans you think you may have.” he warned calmly, even though he was furious at him.

Henry came down the stairs behind Betty and was shocked by her father’s behavior. ”Bets, you know you don't have to go with him.” he whispered in the same soft tone he used earlier.

" you have no say in this " the man said to Lysander.

Lysander sighed and shook his head. ”No, you don't understand.” he trailed off. He was by no means afraid of this man but he had no idea how to tell him that his daughter, that he treated more like a bargaining chip that a person, was a newly turned vampire.

She stepped forward " daddy" she said " please Betty you'll love him you'll fall in love with him and he'll love you more than anyone could" he said.

I doubt that. Lysander bit his lip to keep from being rude at the moment. ”She already is loved here.” he said softly as he closed his eyes, remembering the vision of him and Betty getting married.

Henry was holding himself back from hurting Betty's father, despite how much he wanted to. That wolf of a man made him sick just thinking of all the things he put Betty through.

He could tell she wasn't having it " what's here for you" he asked Betty looked at Lysander " dad I fell I love I didn't plan.to but I did and it's the best thing that ever happened to me" she said.
