Heart is the Key towards Home (Wynonna Earp)

Chapter 10

Waverly has her nose deep into a research book, sitting cross legged on the floor, when Nicole walks into the room. The redhead carefully dodges the myriad of papers and boxes that cover the majority of the living room's floor around the brunette. "Here you go baby." She says as she hands a cup of tea to her wife. The brunette accepts the cup gratefully and awards her with a smile.

"Have you found something yet?" Nicole asks.

"Not much so far. Only that the Angelea family was also one of the original families who moved to Purgatory." Waverly says as she takes a sip of her tea

"That's very interesting. It's very strange that we've never heard of them before, or that this didn't surface during that crazy time with Bulshar and the original families of Purgatory." Nicole says as she takes a seat on the couch.

"Yeah it is quite strange." The brunette agrees as she automatically moves to position her back against the redhead's long legs. "Have you heard anything yet from Angela about the Will?" she asks as she picks up her laptop.

"No not yet, baby. But I'll give her a call in the morning. Is there anything I can help you with?" Nicole asks as she picks up one of the books on the floor, her other hand playing with Waverly's hair.

"Sure baby, why don't you go through this book and see if you can find any reference to the Angelea Family." Waverly says as she hands Nicole an old leather-bound book. "I'm going to see if I can find anything on our new house ."

"Anything for you, my darling." Nicole says as she places a sweet kiss behind Waverly's ear, leaving the brunette with a content smile. She then takes the book from Waverly and starts reading through everything. Mmm very interesting. This book contains everything on all the original families, even the definitions of names and family crests. Nicole thinks to herself as she continues to read.

Another 30 minutes pass before her eye finally catches something at the bottom of a page "Angelea - Original family. Angelea is a variant form of Angel in Greek – Meaning of the name: Messenger; messenger of God. Original family of two, Javen Angelea and his wife Lia Angelea."

"Baby, I found something! Look at this." Nicole says enthusiastically as she hands the book over to Waverly and points to the bottom of the page

The brunette takes the book from Nicole and starts reading, her eyes sparking with intrigue. This is great! Thanks, babe!" She says with excitement, placing a chaste kiss to her wife's wrist. She then grabs her laptop and enters "Javen and Lia Angelea Purgatory" into the search engine. A few unrelated results pop up, but finally she finds something.

"Babe, listen to this." Waverly says to Nicole, excitement radiating from her voice. The Angelea Family had a farm on the same land where our new house is built. According to this, they were very quiet people and didn't interact much with any of the other families. People use to speculate that they were different and had some sort of powers, hence why they mostly kept to themselves. Their farm was always kept in the family and nobody other than a blood relative was allowed to own the farm or any buildings built on their land. If there were no relatives to take over ownership of the land, they had the land demolished and blessed to worthy owners by the local Priest.

"Wow, Waves! Do you think that is still the agreement today? Is that why that Will is at the bank? Were we somehow deemed "worthy owners" and that's why our offer got accepted so quick?" Nicole asks with her hand on her chin as she ponders this new information.

"I don't know babe, but we need to talk to Angela and get a copy of that Will. That's the only way we will know for sure." Waverly says looking up from her laptop. Nicole nods in agreement at this suggestion.
