Nicole POV

Dolls and I headed back to station where we met Jeremy.  We put up the crime scene photos on the board.  After that was done I went and grabbed Jeremy a tea and Dolls and I a coffee from the station. I texted Waverly.

Waverly POV

I woke up in a creepy cottage with my hands tied to a beam and this guy had his back to me.  I heard a phone ping and he turned around and walked towards me with my phone in his hand. "Nicole... is wondering where you are." He said

"She won't be the only one. Soon the woods will be swarming with a search party. They'll find you." I said struggling to try and get free.

"Oh yeah!" He said.

"This? Definitely not a good look." I said.

"I don't like people... in my woods." He said

"Well I don't like being treated like a meat ornament. Let me go and I... I'll make sure no one bothers you, I promise." I said trying to reason with him. "OK? Just please. Just give me the phone." The phone rang and touched my throat.

He answered the phone.  "Hi, Nicole. I can't really talk right now. No, everything's fine. I'm just a little tied up at the moment. OK, goodbye, Nicole." He said imitating my voice.  I tried to shout for help but he must have took my voice.  He hung up and placed my phone in a bucket next to the door.

"So I called Waverly barely got a word in before she hung up on me."  I said coming back into the room.

"Don't take it personal, um...  Wynonna had some pretty big news to drop."  He said with a bit of mystery.

"The woman kept her pregnancy on the down low for months what other new secrets could she have?"  I asked.

"Secrets suck!  I hate 'em."  Jeremy announced.

"Thank you, Jeremy."  Dolls interrupted. "You have anything useful to contribute?"

"Well, yeah.  After running a simulation, I'd say there's about an 81.52% chance that all the victims died within seconds of one another. Not simultaneously."  He explained.

"OK, I'm gonna need you to unpack that for me."  I said confused.

"So we're dealing with a demon that can move extremely fast?"  Dolls asked.

"Yeppers. Like light speed, beam me up, Scottie, Death Eater kinda fast."  Jeremy answered.

"Did... Did they suffer?"  I asked with a bit of sadness.

"Barely woulda seen it coming."  Jeremy replied.

"Some consolation, I guess."  I said.

"Or it was poop your pants scary as hell."  Jeremy said.

"Bulshar?"  I asked.

"He was entombed in the ground for decades."  Jeremy answered.

"The vampires said they were here to pay fealty to Bulshar.  Looks like this demon has been
offering his own sacrifices for the past seven years, probably for the same reason."  Dolls said.

"But it's been less than seven years since the last attack."  I pointed out

"Bulshar's risen."  Dolls said.

"Time to party."  I said.

"The thing is... there's no way of knowing if these massacres will stop."  Jeremy pointed.

"Haught... Try Waverly again."  Dolls said.

"We need everyone up to speed, OK?"  I asked.

"Oh, yes! Up to speed.  In the know.  Nobody in the dark about anything of importance."  Jeremy said.

"You know what? I'm just gonna go to the homestead in person."  I said.

"Maybe you should pick up a peace offering or something."  Dolls said.

"Something with sprinkles?  Yeah, on it."  I said leaving.  I grabbed my jacket and keys and headed to the homestead on my way I got stopped by a man.

"Hey! Hey! Hey! I got lost in the woods hunting. Damn trails are all messed up. Me and my son got separated." He said coming up to my car.

"Is he still out there?" I asked

"Yeah." He replied.

"Christ, I'd still be wandering if I hadn't seen the flash of blue from an old wreck down there." He said.

"What wreck?" I asked worryingly.

"A blue and white pick-up just sitting there. I followed the tracks back up to the road." He replied.

"Show me. Now." I said. He showed me Wynonna's truck which was upside down. I ran over to it calling for them, I looked in the car and around it and no sign of them. I pulled out my phone and rang Doc. "Hi Doc, I waverly and Wynonna have gone missing I am just off highway 12. Great see you soon." I hung up.

Waverly POV

"Help! Can anybody hear me?" I screamed banging on the door of the cage behind me.

"Hello? Where are you?" Someone called out.

"Help! Please! Somebody help me!" I shouted.

"Hang on! I'm almost there!" He shouted. He burst through the door and asked. "Are you OK?" Before I had the chance to answer he ran forward and a wire decapitated him.

The man who kidnapped me came back. "Pretty birds deserve a pretty cage. Be thankful it just bought Waverly Earp some time." He said placing me in the cage. His eyes turned red and he stole my voice. Then left.

Wynonna showed up a few minutes with a crowbar.  I mouthed to her and she said.  "What is it?  What?  Why aren't you talking?  Is this some kind of crazy.  Little Mermaid shit?"  I pointed to the cage and my boobs.  She looked confused and said.  "What?"  I kept pointing at my boobs and the cage.  "What is it?"  I did it again.  "Underwire?  Underwire support?  Jingling C-cup?  Breast?  Breast alligator?  Boob!  Booby!  Booby munch! Booby!  Booby trap!"  She finally guessed.  "OK, where?"  She asked.  I mimed around the room. "OK."  I mimed for peacemaker but she said.  "I don't have it!"  I pretended to shoot myself in the head.

Wynonna attempted to step forward but I stopped her.  "Can you guide me?"  She asked I nodded my head and guided her to me.

We heard the Revenant outside so Wynonna whispered.  "OK, faster!  Guide faster!  Get me on the stairs!"  I guided her to the stairs and she creeped up them and hid.  He opened up the door and moved towards me.  "Did it know fear has a scent?"  He said creepily.  "Best smell in the world.  That reminds me.  My trapline needs checking."  As he turned around I stuck my middle finger up at him.

Nicole POV

"Waverly... She'll be cold." I said as Doc was checking the truck. I held a bloody scarf which was Waverly's.

"This was no accident. One of our girls
was dragged into the woods. The other, she is moving under her own steam." Doc explained.

"That thing, that demon who killed all the people in the bar. Jeremy said it moves extremely fast so the victims were dead before they even knew what was happening." I told Doc.

He grabbed his ear in pain when I heard Jeremy's voice. "For the devil, Jeremy, you don't need to yell." Doc said to him.

It sounded like Jeremy was talking before Doc said to me. "Wynonna's headed north. We'll follow her lead."

"Yeah, but what if whoever took Waverly
went the other way?" I asked panicking.

"You trust Wynonna's instincts?" Doc asked.

"I helped her kill the revenant she had sex with!" I replied.

"Let me rephrase. Do you trust her instincts about Waverly?" He asked.

"Yeah, OK." I said. He headed North and I pulled my gun out and followed him.
