The wait for season 2 to be renewed is killing me! I wrote this in an attempt to stop me going completely mad with waiting and it somehow made it worse. That being said, I was pretty happy with how this turned out and figured I'd put it up. Hope you enjoy!
Sidenote: Willa got redeemed. I like her as a baddie, but I kinda wanted her to realise what she was doing and stop it. So, in this one, she realised that BoBo was a jerk and she and Wynonna stopped the thing outside the barrier together. She's also trying to be a better sister to Waverly.
Summary: Post 1x13. Waverly's no longer possessed but she's still haunted by what she could have done. Hurt/Comfort and fluff. Warning: the first bit is kind of gory but not too bad.

The revenant was chasing her down. She could hear his laughter in the wind, taunting her as she ran. Bodies whizzed past; Champ, Neadly, Shorty, Gus, the whole town, dark and cold. She ran to the homestead, fighting the pain radiating in her legs, chest, and head, not stopping until she had shoved open the door and slammed it closed behind her. Locking it quickly, she started making her way around the homestead, calling for her family as she went.
She found Doc first, lying face up against the stairs, a bullet through his brain. Dolls was around the corner, blood oozing from his side. His eyes were open in, what could only be described as pure terror. Moving Doc's...Doc to the side, Waverly slowly made her way upstairs. Willa was propped up against a wall at the top, a small trail of blood running from the corner of her mouth and a puddle of blood forming at her side. A gun rested in her hand and her eyes were wide. With a trembling hand, Waverly reached down and carefully place her fingers on Willa's pulse point. Nothing. Fighting back tears, Waverly gently closed Willa's eyes and pressed a kiss into her hair. She then stood up and cautiously went through each room.
She found Wynonna next. She'd been torn open, skin and clothes were torn apart, mouth open in a permanent scream. Peacemaker was clutched in her hand. Even in death, she'd kept that gun close. Waverly ran to her, lifted her head into her lap and cried into the dark hair. Once more, she closed her sister's eyes. As she went to leave the room, she turned back and took Peacemaker and held it close.
Nicole was face down in her room, a pool of blood forming around her. Waverly could see the ragged breathing from across the room. She ran over and dropped to her knees, letting Peacemaker fall to the floor. As gently as she could, Waverly pulled Nicole into her lap and took her face in her hands. "Nic…" A choked sob escaped her, "Nic, can you hear me?" Nicole opened her eyes, tears obvious along with fear. Blood poured from a deep wound in her side and Waverly desperately pressed her hand over it.
"You did this." Gasped Nicole. Waverly shook her head. She couldn't have. She wouldn't. "It made you." Whispers made their way into the brunette's head. Painful, sinister whispers They don't love you. You're nothing."You killed them." One sister hates you, "Willa tried to help us get away and you stabbed her." The other abandoned you, "You tore Wynonna apart." And she's just waiting to leave. "You're a monster." Was the last thing Nicole could say, before a gunshot rang out and the officer fell still, blood dripping from a hole between her eyes. Waverly rose, Peacemaker dangling loosely from her hand. A small smirk played on her lips as she looked down at the body. The smirk became a gleeful smile as her eyes turned black…
The youngest Earp shot upright, a scream tearing itself from her throat. Nicole awoke immediately, and her eyes darted around the dark room, trying to find what had scared her girlfriend so badly. Wynonna and Willa were slightly slower in their reactions, a minute or so passing before the door burst open; Wynonna with Peacemaker and Willa with a knife. "What happened?!" Exclaimed Willa, at the same moment as Wynonna's "Alright, who am I shooting?!"
Waverly took a moment to register her surroundings, locking eyes with both of her sisters, then Nicole. "Sorry." She panted, "Bad dream." Wynonna and Willa both released breaths they didn't know they'd been holding. Willa slumped against the doorframe, while Wynonna muttered something about needing a drink and walked away. Pausing to offer Waverly, what she hoped, was a comforting smile, Willa turned and followed Wynonna, closing the door partially behind her.
Nicole relaxed her shoulders and wrapped an arm around Waverly. Rubbing her eyes tiredly, the red-haired officer pulled her smaller girlfriend closer and guided her to lie down. "You wanna talk about it?" She asked, sleep and concern mixing in her voice. The small woman curled further into her, "I was running. A revenant was chasing me, so I ran to the homestead. Everyone in town was dead and when I got home…" Her voice caught in her throat and she felt Nicole's grip tighten around her. "Doc and Dolls were dead, Willa and Wynonna were dead and you were dying and you...you said it made me kill them. It was still in my head, whispering. It...I shot you, Nicole! Then it got complete control and I was smiling and my eyes…!"
Nicole cut her off with a gentle kiss. "It was just a dream baby. You wouldn't do any of that." Waverly shook her head.
"But I could have! It nearly made me kill Wynonna, I tried to kill Willa when you were all trying to get it out of my head and it wanted me to hurt you." The younger girl began to sob, gripping the front of her girlfriend's shirt tightly. Nicole pulled Waverly impossibly closer and peppered her face with careful, loving kisses. She ran a hand through the soft brown hair, loosening any knots she found. "I know that you would never hurt me. Wynonna knows you'd never hurt her and I think Willa knows she'd deserve it if you hurt her." Waverly giggled at Nicole's playful smirk. Nicole continued to play with Waverly's hair as she hummed a quiet tune that Waverly didn't recognise. It was comforting, soothing and eventually sent her into a peaceful sleep.
Thanks for reading this, I hope you enjoyed it! Chapter 2 should be up in a day or so and, if you have any prompts you'd like me to do, please put them in a review or PM me and I'll try my best!
