Tyler closed hee eyes with a sigh
Betty nodded," yeah that's why I knew to push you down" Betty sighed walking across the room to the table that was right beside the bed she picked up her phone and made a call " Hey hen" she said
Lysander nodded thoughtfully, wondering who would have tried to attack him. He sat down trying to remember which of his enemies were still alive.
Henry groaned slightly as his phone rang. ”Sorry about this baby.” he whispered in Tyler's ear before answering it. ”Bets? I'm surprised you called.”
" hey I know you're kind of busy under the sheets with Tyler right now but I need your help a wooden stake just came through me and your brothers window Henry someone else wants me dead and I don't know how to defend myself I know I could ask Lysander but I need you I could care less about your relationship with Tyler I'm happy for you I am but Henry you're still my best friend and you always will be no matter how many times you try to kill me this new power I have I have to control it or I'm going to kill someone I know you have no reason to help me and I don't even know why I'm calling I'll just go" Betty said.
Henry blinked in surprise as Betty called him out but immediately sat upright as she told him what happened. ”Wait, slow down Bets. You have every right to call me. I just thought you might not want anything to do with me after… well, everything I guess. I really didn't want to hurt you. Never have, never will but… I guess you were right. I do need to work on it.” he sighed, running his fingers through his hair. ”If you need my help, then I will. Are you guys both ok?”
Betty smiled gently , " yeah other than just getting stabbed in the back with a wooden stake I'm peachy" Betty said sarcastically
”Ouch!” Henry winced sympathetically. ”I’ve been there. At least, it sounds like they used the wrong kind of wood and didn't soak the thing in Holy Water.” he pointed out. ”You didn't happen to see who threw it did you?”
" no but I saved your brother's ass pushed him down so I got the hit" Betty said
Tyler groaned and took the phone pushing the end call button
”Hey! What was that for?” Henry asked Tyler, not really angry mostly just concerned.
"she's a bitch" was all Tyler said.
Betty looked at her phone " what the hell" she said before throwing it on the bed and running a hand to through her blond locks
”No, she's not. Why do you keep saying things like that about her?” Henry asked. ”And don't say it's because of your parents.”
Lysander looked at her in concern. ”What’s wrong, love?”
" she's not some sweet little angel someone's always got her back she's a cold-blooded monster long before you turned her Henry she was born into it she was born evil what do you think you're so many people after her not because they're the bad guys but because she is she ruined lives and pretty soon she'll ruin yours and your brothers" Tyler said
" I've got a bad feeling any chance you could you lock me in the basement or in a room" Betty asked.
Henry gave Tyler a hard look. ”I know everyone has a few dark spots in their pasts but at least Betty is trying to move on from that. Did you know that her own father passed her along as a blood bag to other Vampires who didn't care if she woke up after?”
Lysander looked at her in shock. ”Why… I mean, I suppose but why would you ask me that?”
" theres something dark in me and I need to be isolated" Betty said
Tyler Rolled her eyes " Betty was my best friend until…"
Lysander wrapped his arms around her. ”How many times have you asked me not to leave you alone? Whatever you're afraid of, we’ll face it together.”
Henry raised a brow. ”Until she killed your parents, right? I didn't know you used to be friends.”
" I love you " she said pushing herself out of his embrace " I asked you because I knew you'd be gentle but if you won't I'll have Henry do it" she said reaching for her phone
" I used that as an excuse I hated my parents she did mr a favor as soon as you two started dating we broke apart" she said
Lysander grabbed her hand before she could reach her phone. ”Betty… If you're that worried, of course, I’ll help you. I do have a spare room in the basement we can use. I just wish I understood why you think this is necessary.” he told her gently.
Henry looked at her in surprise. ”I… How… Were you jealous that we started dating?”
Betty sighed " please I can't hurt anymore people" Betty pleaded
Tyler shook her head "Betty left me I didn't leave her"
”It’s alright, love.” Lysander shushed gently. ”You won't hurt anyone here. If you feel you need it, that room is available for you to use but I'm here for you and I’ll check on you often.” he promised.
Henry looked at Tyler softly. ”I doubt that it was intentional, but I can't say I blame you for your actions now. I was pretty angry when I had to break up with her and I took it out on both her and my brother. But she was stubborn and she came back into my life as my friend. I'm sure she would like to have you back as a friend again as well.” he smiled. ”You know, when she called just now she said, she didn't mind if we were in a relationship together and that she was happy for us.”
' wanna come visit me I'm in camp jail' Betty said sending a text to Henry letting Lysander escort her to the room
Tyler smiled "maybe" she said.
Henry chuckled at Tyler's answer, giving her a soft kiss and stealing his phone back. ”Huh? Wonder what she means by that.” he said mostly to himself but let Tyler see the message. ”Do you know anything about this?”
Lysander didn't like the idea of locking Betty up but she seemed pretty adamant about it. ”Is there anything I need to know about this?” he asked as he reluctantly lead her to the room in the basement.
"just that I love you" she said.
Tyler looked at the message " no no no no " she said quickly getting dressed " I wasn't luring betty has dark in her and now that she's a vampire her powers are stronger it's like she turns into a completely different person like she's possessed and my guess is she's locking herself up because she's afraid she can feel the darkness coming." She was dressed and looked at him " once the darkness comes Henry no one can stop it" she said
”I love you too.” Lysander said kissing her cheek.
”Wait, seriously?” Henry asked as he also started to get dressed. ”Is there anything we can do to stop it from even getting to her?” Betty said that Lysander was enough of a reason for her to come back from death… Maybe that can help?
" no she has to do that herself" Tyler said grabbing her glasses
Betty smiled " lock me in" she said.
”But… she doesn't know how to now that she's a vampire?” Henry asked as he slipped on his shirt and walked closer to Tyler. ”Are you ok with flying?”
Lysander sighed heavily and shut the door, locking it and letting himself slump against it.
Tyler nodded " get us over there quickly"
Betty slumped against her side of the door
