"Does Stefan Salvatore know you are pregnant with his child?" Julian asked with a cruel edge to his voice. He then took my necklace, which holds my magic, and threw him to the ground.

When I tried to retrieve it, he began to beat me. He hit me until the second heartbeat just stopped.

He then took me to Lillian, he had told her that he found me beaten and robbed. That's when Lillian healed me with his blood. Little did she know, did that second heart beat just start beating again. Later that night, before I knew that the heart of my son was beating again, I drown. But that little heart beat beating continued even after I became the first heretic.

Later that year, a month or two later, Lilly sent me on a mission. I was relieved because now I do not have to tell Lilly about pregnancy.
