Valerie spent the rest of the Night in the barn.
She still didn't have the courage to enter the house, Henry stayed with her not wanting her to be alone.
Valerie that night though couldn't sleep much as Nightmares haunted her every time she closed her eyes all starting the same with a blood curdling scream followed by Lucy's blood staining the hay; she woke up two hours after her and Henry fell asleep figuring why waste waking hours snuck out of the barn.
Valerie slid on Henry's jacket and picked up Peters boots and followed his trail into the wood.
Valerie half way into the forest came across his shirt picking it up slowly starting to worry she'd find Peter nude which she isn't really sure how to handle that if it happened, her fears were added as she came across his belt "Peter where are you?" she called out hoping to get an answer.
"Behind you." A voice called back and Valerie did a sharp turn to find Peter emerging from the trees, "Thanks for grabbing my stuff, Val." He said with a sweet smile grabbing his clothes
"Peter why…what…um where have you been?" Val asked stuttering a little trying to figure out why he had basically stripped.
"Just for a run, no need to worry Val." "Basically Naked?" Valerie questioned, "They were weighing me down and this isn't naked." His hands reached for his pants and Valerie quickly grabbed them both "Point proven."
Peter couldn't help but die laughing "Always so modest Val." He joked, "Yeah, Yeah sorry for worrying." Valerie replied a little upset. "Don't be I'm glad it shows I worried you." Peter smiled at her glad to see her showing some feelings, "Well it wasn't well deserved obviously." Valerie teased finally relaxing a little bit.
"Theirs my Val." Peter replied "But I'm still sticking with the run story." Valerie's eye's narrowed "I'll get the truth out of you even if I have to beat it out of you." Peter chuckled "not if you still have two left feet." Peter added. Valerie lunged at him but Peter dodged her with ease "Come on Val I know you can do better than that." He taunted,
as the two of them basically danced around each other for a while before Valerie finally got a lucky shot and tackled Peter to the ground "Still think I have two left feet?" "Yeah just you've gotten use to them." He chuckled but Valerie finally got a good look at Peter who leaned up at her and they were about to kiss when a howl was heard.
"Valerie get out of here!" Peter shouted helping her up quick "Go!" Valerie looked at him "Then come on I'm not leaving you out here." Valerie shouted, "No Val I'll meet you back at the Barn, just go."
He pushed her away and Valerie took off running till she stopped dead in her tracks when she heard Peter scream and turned back "PET…" but she was cut off when she was tackled to the ground and pinned to the ground.
(Sorry for keeping everyone I feel pretty bad about it but this is the hardest Fan fic I've written trying to balance both a Peter and a Henry scene (which follows this one) so Valerie is still torn but I hope you like this short but sweet Chapter between Peter and Val though I don't support the pairing I hope you guys enjoyed it)
