Wow I haven't written a story in so long LOL. Well hopefully my writing skills aren't too rusty and I can bang out a pretty good story. So I'm writing this due to the fact that I am in love with the Heretics especially Valerie and after episode 7X03 I love Valerie and Stefan together. So this is based off of Valerie and Stefan's past from 1863 which was explored in episode 3. Only this is Valerie telling Stefan about everything that happened. So DON'T READ if you haven't watched episode 3 of season 7. This is my version with a little bit of a different ending to it. Enjoy!

It was cold, windy and down right awful night. Valerie hated when Lily sent her out for blood but she knew she wouldn't send Nora or Mary Louise so she was the last option. Valerie could sense a storm coming which only made her do her job faster. She pulled into the parking lot of the hospital, found a spot right in the front, turned the car off and got out. She reached into her purse and pulled out her phone to check the time. It read 11:45 pm. She wanted to get in, get the blood bags, and get out in less then fifteen minutes. As she made her way to the hospitals door the wind blew her hair in every direction and her heels of her boots clicked against the pavement.

She hated going out for blood. Because Mystic Falls hospital was deserted due to the fact of "pollution" she now had to drive twenty minutes out of her way to the nearest hospital just to get her food. She didn't even like being a vampire, mostly because it wasn't necessarily her choice to become one. She opened the hospitals door and quickly made her way inside and to the nearest staircase to go down to the basement. She flew down the stairs and once she hit solid ground she made a sharp left turn down the hall.

She had been to this hospital plenty of times to get blood bags and could now do it with her eyes closed. At the end of the hallway was the blood bag centre. The attendant that was usually at the front desk of the centre was gone and Valerie knew she would only have a few minutes until he was back. She quickly went around the desk and pushed through a door in the wall. This lead her into the room stocked high with blood bags in every type possible. She quickly took a bag out of her side purse and started shoving blood bags into it. She had stuffed about ten and figured that would last them all a few weeks.

So she collected her things slung her bag full of blood bags over her shoulder and quietly sunk out of the blood room, back up the stairs and out of the hospital without anyone seeing her. She pulled out her phone to check the time again; it read 11:53 pm. Sweet. She had been there no more then eight minutes. She pulled her car keys out of her purse and pressed the unlock. Her car which was about fifteen feet away from her lit up and made a beep sound.

When she reached her car she opened up the trunk and dumped the bag of blood bags inside. She shut the trunk door and made her way to the drivers side. She didn't even get a chance to open up the car door when she was slammed stomach first onto the drivers side door. She quickly used her magic to give whoever had done that an aneurism. She heard the person grunt and moan as she turned over to see none other then Stefan Salvatore on his knees holding his head in pain.

She stopped her magic and looked down at him breathing hard.

"What the bloody hell is wrong with you? You should know better then to sneak up on a Heretic; I could of killed you in a heartbeat" she said folding her arms across her chest.

"I'm sorry" he said getting up off the ground. "But I knew you wouldn't talk to me if I just showed up at your door. I thought I would have to make a surprise entry" he said making a small laugh at his joke.

"Well you did and look where it got you" she said. Stefan was now standing up and facing her only a few inches apart. He towered over her by a good eight inches and even though he looked more threatening she could totally take him any day. "What do you want Stefan?" she said breaking the silence.

"I want to talk to you" he said softly. "About why you stood me up one hundred and fifty two years ago"

"Oh Stefan" she said closing her eyes, shaking her head. "Not now okay, I don't want to do this right now"

"Yes right now" he said sternly backing her up against her car door. "I'm not letting you slip away from me again"

Valerie was very quiet for a moment and as much as she wanted to get in the car and drive away she knew she couldn't. She had to finally brave up enough to tell Stefan the truth, the whole truth as to what happened one hundred and fifty two years ago.

"Okay" she said. "Where do you want to go to talk?"

"My new place. Damon's not there so its only going to be the two of us"

"Alright but we should hurry this storms coming in pretty fast" And just as she said that a big crack of thunder echoed through the sky followed by a big flash of light from a lightening bolt. The two of them quickly hurried into the car just as rain started to pour down.

Valerie started the car and drove off down the road as the rain poured down on them.

"So how did you learn to drive?" Stefan asked.

"Lily showed me how" she said keeping her eyes on the road.

"Well I guess shes a better teacher about driving then actually driving herself, seeing as shes terrible at it" Stefan said. Valerie had a little chuckle to herself as they drove past the entry sign to Mystic Falls. The rest of the ride was silent expect for the light breathing of both of them and the heavy rain that poured down on the car with the occasionally boom of thunder.

Soon they were well into the town of the deserted Mystic Falls. "Take the next right" Stefan said.

Valerie did and she pulled into the long drive way of what used to be the mayors house. She turned off the car and they both quickly got out and ran to the door of the house. But even being out in the rain for a few seconds soaked them both. Stefan opened up the door and let Valerie into the quiet, cold, dark house. He followed behind her shutting the door and flicking on the lights.

"Nice place you have" she said ringing out her soaking wet hair and taking off her boots.

"Thanks, well we needed a new place after..."

"After my crazy family moved in and took over your house?" she said cutting him off.

"Something like that" he muttered under his breath although Valerie could hear it crystal clear. "The living room is right there, have a seat and I'll get you a drink" he said disappearing down the hall.

She moved into the living room where the last of a glowing fire was dying it. It was cozy and warm. She sat down on one of the couches and stripped off her wet jacket, leaving her in a damp grey t-shirt.

Stefan appeared moments later with two glasses in his hand, each containing blood. "Here" he said handing one to her as he sat down on the opposite end of the couch as her.

"Thanks" she said as she took a good gulp of it. Lily only let them have three sips a day of blood and this was the first time in a while that she got to drink more. She could feel her dark veins appear under her eyes and she tried to dismiss them so Stefan wouldn't see but he caught on.

"Its okay" he said taking a sip of his own drink. "Where the same. You don't have to hide" Valerie looked embarrassed and stared down at her hands in her lap. The room was only lit by the fire so the two of them sat in a dark room with only the light glow of the fire that made shadows along the room.

"So what do you wanna know?" she said finally looking up to look at Stefan.

"Everything" he said.

"Okay. What do you remember?"

"I remember the day I waited for you. It was October twenty-second. Three months and seven days from the last time we had met. I waited all day on that bench for you, well into night fall but you never returned, why?"

"Do you remember Julian?"

"Yes"

"Well he had other plans for me. The night before I was supposed to met you I had left my family in New York to catch a train back to see you. I had something very important to tell you"

"Which was?" Stefan asked.

Valerie took a deep breath. She had never told anyone this before, she had expected to keep this secret with her for a lifetime. To take it to the grave if she was ever killed. But she knew Stefan had a right to know and she may never get the chance to tell him again. "The reason I was leaving my family to come be with you was because I was pregnant"

"You were pregnant?" Stefan questioned.

"Yes. I found out about five weeks after our encounter. I mostly was leaving because I was three months pregnant at that time. It was going to be at any point that I would start showing, and I needed to leave before that happened. " She looked at Stefan and could see his face masked with so many emotions. Sadness, hurt, anger every emotion that was humanly possible.

"Okay" he said finally taking a deep breath. "Then what happened?"

"That night that I tried to sneak away, Julian caught me. He said I couldn't leave as Lily wouldn't leave with him if I wasn't there. The next day we were leaving for England by ship. I knew if I ever got on that ship I would never see you again"

She took another deep breath and continued. "When Julian caught me he found out I was pregnant. He could hear the baby's heart inside of me. He knew with that baby it would cause to many problems, problems he did not want to deal with. So he did the most rationale thing he could think of. He beat me. He beat me so hard and for so long until I was left almost dead and the little heart beat inside of me stopped"

Valerie could feel the tears emerging from her eyes. She quickly wiped them away. And continued. " At least that's what Julian thought. I passed out that night and three days later I woke up on the ship to England. Julian came up with a story of how he found me beaten and robbed in the street to cover up his story. Lily healed me with her blood and by some miracle the blood save the little heart inside of me as well. Its heartbeat was so low and quiet that Lily and Julian couldn't hear it. But I was unaware that I was still pregnant"

"That night I was in so much pain. Of losing you, what I thought was the baby, and everything else I decided I wanted to end my life. I didn't want to be under Julian's control and violence anymore. So that night I drew a bath and laced my tea with a sedative and poison, and let myself fall asleep in the tub"

"You killed yourself?" Stefan asked.

"Yes. I didn't see anyway out of this terrible family that I was in and all I wanted was a way out. You were my way out Stefan, but Lily could of never known I was pregnant with you child. I was sent there to see how you were doing. Not to fall for you and become pregnant"

"Okay..." he said trying to take it all in. "So what happened next?"

"Well I had forgot that when I died I had Lily's blood in my system. So I woke up out of the tub a vampire. The first Heretic ever born. Unfortunately I had also didn't realize that I hadn't lost the baby. So when my body turned into a vampire it when into pushing mode. It didn't recognize what was in my stomach so its most logically decision was to push out whatever was in there"

"So you went into labour?"

"Yes just moments after I had become a vampire. Thankfully I was alone when this all happened and by some miracle my body pushed out the baby I thought I had lost. I gave birth to the baby on October twenty fifth, eighteen sixty three. At that time I was only sixteen weeks along in the pregnancy. The baby was no bigger then my palm. But it was alive and breathing to my surprise"

"So what did you do?"

"I really thought the baby would of died in my arms. From the trauma of almost being killed by Julian, and then me actually dieing three days later. I had no idea how the baby was alive. So I feed it some of my new vampire blood. It seemed to keep the baby stable. So I wrapped it in some cloth and took it down to the nurses station on the boat. I compelled the nurses to believe it was a baby just left on the ship. Every couple of days I would go down and feed the baby more blood to keep it alive. When we finally arrived in England two weeks later the baby was healthy and had grown much bigger"

"Did you tell anyone about this?"

"No. I kept it a secret to myself up until now. Once we docked in England I could no longer keep an eye out for it. I was a vampire too, with insane thirst and it was hard being around it. So once we got off the boat I left the baby with the nurses and never looked back"

"What? You just left the baby with the nurses?" Stefan said shocked and upset.

"I couldn't care for the baby around Lily or Julian I had no other choice" Valerie said.

"But congratulations Stefan. You have a daughter"

Please review and maybe Ill turn this story into a multi-chapter ;)
