She nodded gently standing up after him.

Lysander gave her a small smile, only somewhat comforted by that. ”Alright.” he said softly. ”Um… Betty, would you be willing to let me teach you how to hunt? You can't live off blood bags forever.”

She nodded " I will soon I promise" she said.

”Ok.” he relented, not wanting to force her. ”Just don't wait too long.” he said gently.

" three days" she said her ring glistening In the moonlight

He nodded. ”We can do that.” he smiled seeing the ring on her hand again, feeling a great weight lift from him.

She sighed and wrapped her arms around him pulling him to her afraid he might disappear if she didn't

Lysander smiled softly at the gesture and held her just as close. He didn't want her to worry. ”It’s alright, Betty.” he murmured.

She gripped onto him shaking a bit

He held her closer as he felt her trembling. ”What’s wrong?”

" I had a vision something clicked in Henry he turned against me he was fighting me he's stronger than me he'll kill me" she said.

”Why would he do that?” he asked gently, his brow furrowed in concern. ”Don’t worry. He's not much stronger than me. I can fight him off.” he assured.

" not if I keep you away I have some strange new power from my Oracle powers" she said.

”What new power would that be? And why would you keep me away?” he slowly pulled away so she could look at him.

" the white energy I threw at you" she placed a hand in his cheek " I love you too much to let anyone kill you … I don't care how strong you how many times you say you can handle yourself I don't care I love you and I will protect you with my life" she said.

He gently took her hand off his cheek and kissed it. ”And I will always protect you, my love. Henry and I have fought many times before. During the Civil War, he deliberately joined the Confederate army just because I joined the Union. I know him.”

" and I know him I dated him I know his strengths his weaknesses everything" she said.

He sighed. ”We both know him but different sides of him. You know his better side and I know how he fights.” he shook his head. ”I don't think we can take him alone.”

" you're not getting it he doesn't want to hurt you he wants to hurt me one of the reasons I was trying to starve myself cuz idea of a person I love killing me that's just … Sick" Betty said.

”I don't care if he wants to hurt me or not. I won't let him kill you.” Lysander stated firmly.

She put both her hands on his cheek " and I'm sure as hell not gonna let you get killed protecting me" she said.

Lysander smiled softly and held her arms, not moving them. ”I have no intention of dying.” he said gently before kissing her lips.

She kissed him back gently closing her eyes.

Lysander smiled into the kiss and pulled her close.

Betty ran her hand up and down his arm.
