Nightmares

Waverly POV

I woke up to Nicole moving next to me, I looked over to see her mumbling and sweating. "Nicole." I said gently shaking her shoulder, I got no answer so I called out louder. "Nicole." I shook her shoulder again and then she opened her eyes and quickly sat up, her eyes darted around the room and she was breathing very quickly. "Nicole." I whispered hoping not to scare her.

"C...can...can I..I have eh glass of...of water please." Nicole croaked out finally looking at me.

"Yeah sure." I said getting out of bed and heading downstairs after pouring ourselves a glass each I hurried back upstairs. Once back in our room I handed one glass to Nicole and slid back into bed, she gulped down the water and placed it on the bedside table. "Do you want to talk about it?" I asked quietly.

"Before we do there is something you need to do to know um. When I was six years old Um... My parents were travelling again and they told me I could go to this music festival with my aunt and uncle." She explained.

"Here. In the Ghost River Triangle?" I asked.

She nodded before continuing. "There was an attack. A man in leather. So much screaming and blood."

"The demon Dolls killed at the cliff? Bondage Bob?" I said.

"For years, my parents just told me that everybody died in a forest fire and that I had... I had somehow escaped, but... you know, it just didn't explain the nightmares." She explained.

"Yeah, I've... I've heard them. But none were as bad as the one you had just suffered." I pointed out.

"Last spring, when... Widow Mercedes said his name... Bulshar...it was like this shotgun
went off in my head. And Dolls helped me. He got me files he... he told me that... Black Badge had been covering up these massacres for years." She spoke tears trailing down her cheeks

"The Cult of Bulshar. Oh, Nicole..." I said tears in my own eyes, I used my thumb to brush a couple of her tears away.

"I somehow got myself down to the river and then... then somebody saved me." She finished. "This has been the worst one I have had since I was a kid, when I heard people screaming instead of strangers screams it was you, Doc, Wynonna, Jeremy and Dolls and I couldn't save you." My heart broke for her.

"Hey were all safe, your safe." I said leaning on her shoulder. " We can find more about these massacres if you want. But I am glad you're here with me."

"I am too. We better get bac to sleep Wynonna will need us tomorrow." Nicole said. "Can I put my head on your chest?"

"Of course." I replied. I laid down on my back and Nicole put her head on my chest wrapping her arms around my middle, once se was comfy I wrapped my arms around her upper body. She was asleep not long after and I closed my eyes too.

We woke up the next morning in the same position as the night before.  I quietly lay there thinking about our conversation last night, finally it all made sense, at the crime scene how she knew about it, her panic attack, faux Mercedes mentioning Bulshar and then at the party,  I'm a survivor no I'm the survivor is what she said. Nicole stirred in my arms and mumbled incoherently.  "Hey."  I said as she moved out of my embrace and turned to face me.

"Hey."  She said in her sleepy voice.

"Are you okay after last night?"  I asked worryingly.

"Yes I am after you held me all night." She said. I leaned into her and connected our lips she lay me back and she reached her hands under my PJ top.  She trailed her finger underneath my boobs.

We headed downstairs 2 hrs later and found Wynonna passed out on the coach with an empty bottle next to the sofa. I went over and picked up the empty bottle and took it through to the kitchen so I could clean it and recycle it.  With Nicole's help I was able to get Wynonna to her bed and into it with just her underwear on. "I can't believe he is gone." I said tearing up when we walked back into the kitchen.

"I know baby but hopefully it won't take to long for them to fix him." Nicole said wrapping her arms around my waist.  "I am on the night shift tonight so would you like to come back to mine I have some housework I need to do I know it isn't exciting but I thought it could be a good distraction."

"Yeah I would like that." I said as Nicole's arms left my waist. We sat and ate breakfast in silence when Wynonna walked in looking for coffee.  "Morning Wynonna, Nicole and I are spending the day at her house will you be okay?"  I asked.

"Yeah sure don't worry baby girl.  I am spending the time with Doc and am heading out to try and track some Revenants."  Wynonna said.

Wynonna headed out not long after as Nicole and I were upstairs getting ready to head to hers.  We headed straight to the small supermarket in town to pick up some groceries as her fridge was empty and her cupboards were bare. An hour later we were putting away the food and I fed CJ. "Hey shall we split the tasks up so it'll take less time?" Nicole asked.

"Yeah sure. I'll take downstairs you take upstairs." I replied and grabbed the cleaning stuff from below the kitchen sink.
