Heaven Isn't Too Far Away After All.

Chapter 8 | High in flames

Waverly's point of view-

I wake up around noon.
It's Saturday which means no work.
Before Gus left I guess she hired a few more workers, they seem to be keeping the place on its feet.

Just like every other day, yesterday was a train wreck.
All except for the part where Nicole and I shared a passionate kiss.
Did that really happen?
Someone pinch me, I'm dreaming.

Of course right then my door flies open, "Baby girl get your booty up!! It's noon!!" Hollers Wynonna standing in the door way.
Before I get the chance to fire a pillow at her she leaves.

She sure seemed chippy. I for one am not.

I stretch and slowly drag myself out of bed.

I go into the bathroom and nearly scream when  I see myself in the mirror. I guess this is what happens when a person cries until they fall asleep. My hair is a tangled mess and my eyes are all puffy, I look like I just crawled out of my grave.
This calls for a shower.

Five minutes later I step out of the shower, that might be a new record.

Wrapping a towel around me I go to my closet to find something to wear, I'll put some effort in today. Only for Nicole.

Underwear, underwear. Ahh yes these ones, I hold the grey thongs up and admire them. I knew buying these would come in handy some day. I find a pair of light blue skinny jeans with a rip in the knee and my pink long sleeve Coachella shirt. This will work. I go back into the bathroom and start straightening my hair, once satisfied I unplug the hot device. I brush my teeth, splash on some perfume and leave the bathroom.

Once I reach the bottom of the stairs I see Wynonna impatiently tapping her foot.
"Finally! Man you are slow!" She says getting up and putting her jacket on.

"You wanna tell me what we're doing? Most importantly, why I have to go with?" I question bending over to put my white converse on.

"They found him!!" Wynonna beams.

Yesterday while at the station she said Gus had called and said she ran into a revenant and that was her true reason for leaving. She told Wynonna that he threatened to kill her and only let her live to pass the note on that they're coming for Wynonna. Luckily the revenant was still in his work uniform which conveniently said his name on it, "Samuel Waters".

"They found him?? Really?? Let's go kill his sorry ass!!!" I say running out the house.

"That's the spirit." I hear Wynonna say following me out the door.

We arrive at the station where Dolls is waiting right inside for us.

We follow Dolls into the office and quickly sit down giving him our full attention.

"We were able to track Waters down to a farm house twenty minutes out of town." Dolls says pointing to a spot on a map, it's literally all field with a tiny little log cabin right smack dab in the middle.

All three of us load up in Dolls all black ford truck and start our hunt.

Twenty minutes later we arrive, when I say arrive I mean we're sitting at the end of a very long driveway.

Wynonna hands me a small pistol "Do you know how to shoot a gun?" She asks me carefully placing it in my hands.

"Do you really need to ask? Who else do think protects Shorty's from thieves. I've never killed anyone though, just kinda shot a guy in the foot once." I cringe from the memory and turn the gun carefully over in my hand, inspecting every inch of it.

Dolls turns the truck off and we start thinking of an attack plan.

"Okay Waverly you're gonna go around back and enter the house, try to get him to come out the front where we'll be waiting." Dolls explains to me. This is so cool!!! "Does this mean I'm a part of the gang now???" I ask bouncing up and down.

"Sure. Whatever." Dolls unenthusiastically says back.

"Let's leave the truck here and walk the rest of the way so he doesn't hear us." Wynonna says to both of us.

After that we start walking down the drive way guns to our side.

When we reach the house its self we split ways.
Dolls and Wynonna hide behind a run down trailer home and I start sneaking around back.

I reach the back porch and notice a door open, which I quietly sneak into. Once in I shut the door as quietly as possible.

"Are all Earps this foolish? I have cameras around the whole property." I jump and quickly turn around to notice that what I thought to be a log house is actually a green house...full of...marijuana... There's a man standing on the opposite side of the room smirking.

"You just locked yourself in." The man laughs.

"Ahhh so I'm gonna assume that you're the revenant who threatened my auntie." I say surveying the room more with my eyes. Rows and rows of marijuana plants.

"You are correct, real lovely hot rod too. Now you be a good Earp and sit in here while I go kill your sister." The man says throwing a lit cigar into a near plant which quickly goes up in flames.

Before I can take a step forward Waters opens the front door and slams it shut quickly.

I race to the other side of the room to find that the door is locked shut.

Shit. By this time multiple plants are up in flames.

I guess it was time to make a new chapter. Sorry for the delay readers I got discouraged
