”Let’s go out back for this. That way you don't run into any walls or anything.” Henry suggested. ”Ly? You coming to watch or offer advice?”
Lysander shrugged. ”In a moment. I have something I should take care of first.”
she nodded and followed Henry outside.
Henry raised a brow at Lysander but smiled as he led Betty out past the garden to start practicing.
Lysander waited until they were out the door before he headed downstairs to the spare room where Tyler had been staying.
" that bitch back" Tyler asked.
Betty followed Henry slightly terrified and slightly excited.
Lysander barely held back from growling at Tyler. ”It doesn't concern you whether or not Betty is awake. All you need to know is that you're leaving and I never want to see you anywhere on my territory again.” he warned her as he approached.
Henry smiled at Betty. ”You’ll do fine, Bets. I won't let you run into anything. It's actually pretty easy.” he assured her as he slowly worked his way up to a slow jog. ”Just try to keep up with me and stay next to or behind me.”
Betty nodded " alrighty"
"Why should I? Tyler asked. " You could do so much better than Betty" she whispered.
Henry chuckled. ”Well, come on then. You won't run out of breath.”
”No. I couldn't.” Lysander said nearly standing over Tyler. ”Now, get up.”
Betty took a deep breath and and took off she was fast so doubt
.
Tyler stood up with a smirk.
”Whoa! Bets, we're not just testing your raw speed.” Henry chuckled as he ran beside her. ”You have to be able to control what speed you run at.”
Lysander glowered at Tyler's smirk but didn't say anything. He grabbed her wrist and started leading her to the front door.
¨You told me to run Henry¨ she said.
Tyler scoffed.
”Yeah. Run with me. Not race against me.” Henry smirked shaking his head.
Lysander ignored the sound Tyler made and continued walking. ”You should know how lucky you are that you're leaving with your heart still beating.”
¨instinct¨ she said as an exuse
tyler growled.
Henry shrugged. ”Can’t really argue with that.”
Lysander was almost amused by Tyler’s attempt to be intimidating but didn't show it. Maybe I should take her to the other side of town? It might be far enough away…
Betty froze Tyler had to be doing something to her she couldn't breathe her air was cut off she put her hand to her throat trying to breathe she knew she was a vampire that she shouldn't have to breathe but this was killing her she was doing something or if she didn't breathe she was going to die
”Whoa!” Henry stopped with his arms out to catch Betty. ”Stopping on a dime like that isn't a good idea for a beginner.” he chuckled lightly before looking at her distressed expression. ”Betty? What's wrong?”
Betty looked into his eyes. Giving him a help me plead.
Henry gently grabbed her shoulders and looked at her as he tried to figure out what was wrong. It didn't take too long for him to realize the lack of movement of her chest. ”Betty listen to me. I know you're new to this but you're fine. Really. We don't need to breathe except out of habit.” he explained, trying to keep his voice calm. ”I've been scuba diving without any equipment before. You'll be fine.” Please.
Betty nodded Before she passed out falling to the ground with a thud.
Tyler laughed.
Lysander turned fiercely to Tyler as soon as she started laughing. ”What did you do?!?” he growled darkly as he started squeezing her wrist tighter.
Henry cursed as he gently picked Betty up. Would CPR work on us? I never tried it on another vampire…
" I'm killing betty… again" Tyler said
Lysander didn't even think as he snapped Tyler's wrist out of anger. ”You wretch!” he almost roared. ”I was trying to be generous and let you leave since we don't want you but you go right back to your stupid petty revenge?”
Tyler cried " why do you care so much" she asked.
”Because I love her!” Lysander answered back, still very angry at Tyler. ”Do you even understand what that means? If I wasn't dead already, I would die for her even if she would hate me afterward.”
Henry finally decided it couldn't hurt to try. If anyone did get hurt it would be him later from a jealous Lysander for ”kissing” Betty.
" I loved my parents and she took that away from me" she saidm
”They attacked her and her brother first! What she did wasn't just self-defense, she was also protecting her own family.” Lysander argued.
