Waverly POV
After I left Nicole's room I rang Wynonna to ask for an update. I then grabbed something to eat and head to BBD offices. There Jeremy is experimenting the anti venom on Rosita. I pull out the IV because she was in so much pain. Dolls had arrived to volunteer and I had mentioned the deal Beth had offered and he indirectly told me to find the third seal.
I left to go back to the hospital and walked in and said hello to Shae I walked towards the window.
"The iron count in the blood is too high. Her organs are shutting down." Shae said.
"There's got to be something else." I said.
"They pumped her body full of deferoxamine but her body isn't responding." Shae said. I turned looking towards the bed.
"I've got everyone working on this." I said.
"I read her top screen it doesn't even make any sense. What exactly do your people even do?" She asked.
"I tried to keep her out of danger." I said walking back over to the bed.
"If you thought that'd work you don't know her at all." Shae said.
"Right." I said sadly.
"Hey. What we had was fun, it was great, but it wasn't real. But you she really loves you Waverly Earp." Shae said.
"We have to save her." I said.
"There's nothing anyone can do. Unless you have a miracle up your sleeve." Shae said. "The doctor told me if she wakes up I should say my goodbyes."
As I walked out I said. "I am not going to say goodbye."
I walked through double doors seeing Gretta I called out her name before getting her attention we walked towards a nurses. I told her. "I knew your sister Mattie the blacksmith. And I heard rumours about you too. The iron witch."
Gretta looked around then said "I know who you are. Don't presume you know me just because you watched my sister die."
"Please I need your help, my love she has iron in her veins." I begged. "She was..."
"Bitten. By something not of this world, a demon." She said. "Did you see the face?"
"A widow in black who can levitate and steal faces." I replied.
"Not just one." She said.
"You know them?" I asked surprisingly.
"There was a story my great grandmother used to tell us. 2 twisted spider sisters. They attacked pretty girls and steal their faces to lure the rest of the family." Gretta explained.
"Yeah well they're real." I said. "And it's not just my family they're are after."
"Do you know of any cure which could save someone?" I asked.
"Anti venom. Maybe. But my price will be steep." She said.
"Whatever it takes." I responded.
"You make a promise to an iron witch, it's binding." She informed me.
"You have my word." I said shaking her hand. She grabbed a pen and piece of paper she muttered in German then wrote on the paper and handed it to me.
"You will find a cure for what ails your love in here." She said. I looked at the paper and it said the third seal. I scoffed but still went to go find it, my search led me to the station and I found Doc's ring in Nedley's cup. I met up with widow Beth and gave her the ring in exchange she gave me a vial and said to inject it into her veins. I headed back to the room and Shae wasn't there so I slipped the cure into her IV.
Nicole woke up a few minutes later with colour back into her face. I squeezed her hands and asked "hey how are you?"
"Surprisingly better. I feel perfect." Nicole replied pulling me into a hug. "I love you Waverly Earp."
"I love you too Nicole Haught." I said. She sat with her feet off the bed and Wynonna came in she saw Nicole and looked shocked. "Haught damn you made it." She said walking up and giving Nicole a hug.
"Okay just still not 100% yet so maybe less squeezing." Nicole replied.
"How?" She asked.
"Nobody knows I woke up and felt completely fine. It's a miracle." Nicole said. Wynonna looked at me but I refused to look at either of them.
"It's something." Wynonna said. "I told you to wait. I promised to get you a cure and I did. Waverly... what did you do?"
I left crying because I knew I had betrayed Wynonna but I couldn't lose Nicole. I left the hospital drove around for a little while ignoring my phone then I headed to Shortys for a drink. I got myself a drink then Gretta came in and walked up to the bar. "Well you look unhappy." Gretta said. "Maybe you don't love Nicole Haught after all."
"How dare you?" I said angrily. "You said you'd point me to the anti venom."
"No I said I could get you the anti venom." She pointed out.
"Oh. That was a dirty trick." I said glaring at her.
"Is she not cured?" Gretta asked.
"Wynonna will never forgive me." I said. Gretta looked over at the trophy and said that she wanted to make a wish. Doc busted in because Wynonna has texted him before I knew it had disappeared the moment he touched the trophy.
