Nicole grabbed the handle of the cellar door and the two pulled with everything they had, but the door wasn't budging. Waverly went into panic mode, throwing her arms up.

"Damnit! What do we do?! What do we do?! Maybe there is an axe or something over at the wood pile?! Ahhhhh!" Waverly said as she started looking around for something they could use to break the door.

"Waves I-" Nicole started but was cut off by Waverly rushing over to the wood pile in frantic search for an axe.

Nicole let her girlfriend run off and refocused back on the door, Kendall said something about being stronger and more durable, I might as well try to break it… Maybe I can dive into it? Nicole thought as she took a deep breath and walked back back away from the door. Nicole took a deep breath and then got a running start as she lowered her body and dove forward at the door.

Nicole hit the door full force and the impact splintered the wood, causing the redhead to go tumbling down the steps with a loud thump.

"Oh God…" Nicole groaned as she slowly pushed herself off the ground, "That hurt a lot more than I thought…"

Nicole stood up and slowly started stumbling back over towards the opening and up the steps to tell Waverly she had made it inside.

"Waves I got-AHHHH!" Nicole said as she was cut off by the sight of Waverly running towards the cellar door with an axe held high above her head and screaming "hiya".

Realizing Waverly's momentum was carrying her girlfriend and the axe straight towards her, Nicole quickly ducked back down and lost her footing, falling back down the steps and landing on her back.

"Oh my God baby!" Waverly said in shock as she lowered the axe and hurried down the stairs, "Baby are you okay?!"

"Yeah… Yeah I'm good," Nicole said as the brunette helped her to her feet.

"I am so sorry! I didn't know you were able to break the door! My bad!" Waverly said with a guilty grin.

"It's okay, I just wasn't expecting my girlfriend to turn into a lumberjack," Nicole said as she rubbed her side trying to alleviate some of the pain.

"Sorry," Waverly whispered as she looked around the dark room, "Okay we need a light… Found one!"

Waverly reached up and pulled on the string, causing a single bulb to illuminate the cellar area. The sight that greeted the two women caused them both to gasp and jump back with fear.

Kendall was racing through the woods on all fours, she could hear the Widows taunting her as she ran and could smell their pungent odor.

"We're going to skin you alive hound!" Widow Mercedes yelled out with a wicked laugh.

"You'll be a delicious snack!" Widow Beth screamed as she attempted to speed up and get the blonde.

Kendall barked but didn't waste her time to turn and look, the Widows were faster than she anticipated, but not fast enough to catch her.

Dolls and Wynonna hurried to the area where they instructed Kendall to bring the Widows through.

"Here should be good," Dolls panted out as he looked for a thick tree to perch behind while they waited.

"Yeah… Fine…" Wynonna said out of breath as she wiped her brow.

"You okay?" Dolls said as he looked towards the Heir.

"Me? Oh yeah, just peachy. Running through the woods with this big stomach that contains a tiny human while having to pee is just what I wanted to do with my day," Wynonna said as she rolled her eyes, "God I want a cheeseburger…"

"Yeah well I will get you one when we're done," Dolls said with a grin, "For now, post up behind this tree and I'll go across and we set up until Kendall comes through with the Widows. Be alert and listening, if you hear one howl it means one of the widows has broken off, if you hear two then we need to get back to Waverly and Haught."

"Roger that boss man," Wynonna said with a mock salute as she leaned against the tree, Peacemaker in hand.

"Oh holy shit balls on fire what the hell is that?!" Waverly whispered as she grabbed Nicole's arm.

"I… I don't know…" Nicole whispered back.

"Can you smell it?!" Waverly asked hesitantly, never removing her eyes from the skinless bodies in front of them.

Nicole turned and looked at Waverly with her eyes as wide as they would go, "Are you serious?!"

"YES!" Waverly said with a nod, "Nicole you're a wolf and you need to practice your smells so… Go!"

"You're just saying that because you don't want to go near it!" Nicole groaned as she gave her girlfriend an eye roll.

"Yeah well that too… We don't have a lot of time sweetie so, chop chop!" Waverly said as she gave the redhead a slight push forward.

Nicole crouched down and looked at the two skinless bodies in front of her and attempted to not get sick at the sight before her. Nicole leaned further towards the figure on the left and took a deep breath and shook her head immediately.

"One is dead…" Nicole said lowly to Waverly before the redhead leaned to the right. Waverly cautiously walked over and kneeled down beside her girlfriend to examine the skinless bodies.

"What about the other one?" Waverly asked quietly.

Nicole couldn't get an exact scent from the figure on the right so she leaned closer and took another deep breath.

"Mercedes?" Nicole said as she scrunched her brow and tilted her head to look at the body.

At the sound of her name, the skinless body of the real Mercedes lunged up off the floor and the hand reached out and grabbed Nicole by the arm and let out a muffled scream, causing both Waverly and Nicole to yell in horror back at the figure.

"AH! Mercedes?! HOLY SHIT!" Nicole said as she tried to steady her racing heart.

"Oh Mercedes! It's okay, we're here and we got you! We're going to get you out of here! Oh shit… Oh damn! Okay, Nicole… Get her to the SUV and put her in the back!" Waverly said as she was trying to catch her breath.

"I'm not leaving you here," Nicole said as she moved to try to lift the body of Mercedes.

"Go! We haven't heard Kendall howl and we don't know what else they have been keeping down here or who else they have done this too! I can't carry her Nicole! Please!" Waverly said frantically as she looked at Nicole in desperation.

"If I hear Kendall I'll be out of here and head to you baby but please, just trust me…" Waverly said with pleading eyes, "Go and take her to the SUV while I clear the rest of down here..."

"Okay... Okay…" Nicole said with a quick head nod as she leaned down and scooped the body up from the floor, the muffled sound of crying coming from Mercedes.

Nicole looked at Waverly with her red eyes, "I'm coming back for you."

"I know," Waverly said with a loving grin, "Go…"

Nicole nodded and ran up the stairs with Mercede's body in her arms. As soon as the red head was out of sight Waverly frantically started checking around the rest of the cellar trying to see if there was anything else the Widows had hidden or any other bodies.

Waverly saw several boxes that were stacked and as she started rummaging through them, she realized that the outside of the boxes was labeled. The bottom box had the words, "Diaries/Journals" written on them. Waverly couldn't ignore the feeling in her gut telling her that there was something inside that box that would help stop the Widows and Demon Clootie from resurrecting. Waverly began lifting the numerous boxes that were in the way, trying to hurry and get to that bottom box.

Kendall was weaving in and out of the trees as fast as her four legs would carry her, the widows a reasonable distance behind her, as she ducked behind a tree the Widows lost sight of her.

"Wait…" Widow Mercedes growled as she grabbed Beth's arm tightly.

"What sister?! I'm hungry, bitchy, and I need to kill!" Widow Beth snapped back.

"Why would the wolf show up? Why would she lure us out? That hound isn't stupid…" Widow Mercedes said as she glared at her sister.

Widow Beth gave an exaggerated eye roll as she sighed, "She isn't alone… I hate dogs…"

"You go to the house, I'll catch the dog," Widow Mercedes said as she went to move forward.

"What? No fair!" Widow Beth hissed as she grabbed the other woman's arm.

"You'll get to eat the stupid mutt, just go!" Widow Mercedes growled as she ripped her arm free and rushed forward as she continued down the wooded path she last saw the blonde. As she rounded a corner she saw the wolf hunched down and waiting, the blonde offered a growl as Widow Mercedes hissed and the chase continued.

"Stupid bitch," Widow said as she turned to return towards the house.

Nicole was sprinting through the woods as fast as she could go, carrying the skinless body in her arms. Nicole was now grateful that Kendall had marked the trees, it made the trip back to the SUV easier. Nicole arrived at the vehicle and was opening the trunk, trying to lay out blankets on the back to place the body on.

"Hang on Mercedes, we are going to get you out of here…" Nicole said softly as she gently placed the body on the blankets. The body was moaning in agony and the sound was heart breaking.

Kendall could hear Widow Mercedes screaming threats at her, but the one thing that the blonde could not see or hear any longer was Widow Beth. Kendall turned her head to try to see if Widow Beth was anywhere near, but all the wolf could see was Widow Mercedes gaining on her rapidly. Kendall thought she could hear the Widows stop and whispering but she was so engulfed in the chase she couldn't make out their words.

Kendall knew that the Widows weren't stupid and that there was a chance they would eventually realize that it would be foolish for a wolf to come alone and lure them out.

The other one is heading back to the house… Kendall thought as her heart began to race.

Kendall jumped from a large grouping of rocks and landed, raising her head back and howling loudly once.

"Alerting the others are we hell hound?" Mercedes growled as she lunged after the blonde wolf.

Kendall snarled and took off forward again towards the direction Dolls and Wynonna were hiding. She was close to them and even though she was exhausted, she knew as long as she could make it to the Heir they could at least take out one of the Widows… Getting Waverly out of the house was Nicole's job and as much as it pained her, she had to trust that her sister would be okay.

"Was that a howl?!" Wynonna said as she locked eyes with Dolls.

"One… One howl… That means one broke away…" Dolls said back to the Heir, as if knowing what Wynonna was thinking, "Nicole and Waverly will be fine."

"We take out whoever the hell is still behind Kendall and then we are going back to that house," Wynonna said with determination, "These bitches are not winning this shit."

Dolls gave a reassuring smirk and nodded.

Nicole had just finished putting Mercedes body in the trunk and closing it softly when suddenly the sound of Kendall's howl ripped through her body like a train crashing into a wall. Nicole stumbled forward and caught herself by placing her hand on the back of the SUV.

"Waverly…" Nicole gasped as her red eyes narrowed and she let out a primal growl as she pushed off the SUV and took off through the woods back towards the house where Waverly was last seen in the basement.

Back in the basement Waverly was finally down to the last few boxes until she reached the one she was seeking when she heard Kendall's howl.

"Oh shit-balls… Shit, shit, SHIT!" Waverly whispered as she became frantic trying to shove things out of the way to finally grab the box, "Of course it's not light, why would it be light?!" Waverly grunted as she lifted the box up and started towards the stairs.

Waverly walked by Beth's lifeless and skinless body as she headed to the stairs, Waverly couldn't help but pause and frown down at the girl, "I am so sorry Beth…" the brunette whispered as she closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

Waverly opened her eyes and headed towards the stairs as fast as she could while carrying the large and heavy box. Waverly made it up the stairs and saw the wood pile that Nicole and Kendall had been hiding behind and immediately started that way so she could head in the woods and towards the cars.

Waverly was moving as fast as her legs could carry her when she felt a pain in her side as she was now flying through the air, the box falling forward and her body tumbling to the ground.

"Well, well, well…" Widow Beth said with a grin as she looked down at the youngest Earp.

"Beth?" Waverly said in surprise, however the evil grin from the woman before her gave her the answer she was looking for, "Not Beth… Who are you? WHAT are you?" Waverly mumbled as she stood up and eyed the woman.

"Hungry… Mostly…" Widow Beth said with an eye roll and frown, "But you… You certainly smell delicious."

"Yeah and currently off the menu," Waverly said as she dove towards her right and grabbed the broken axe handle that she had found earlier by the wood pile. The brunette had seen the handle earlier when she was looking for an axe, thankfully the blade had been taken off so now it was light enough for her to use. Waverly twirled the handle and spun in a circle, now facing the Widow and holding the axe in her right hand above her head as if it was a sword.

"Boo…" Widow Beth said with a scrunch of her nose, "I never did like having to work for my food, but you might be well worth it!" the Widow said with a snarl as she lunged forward grasping her sharp nails at the youngest Earp.

Waverly dodged the swipe and spun as she struck the Widows lower left back hard with the axe handle.

Kendall raced through a small clearing of trees and dove forward off a small cliff of rocks, immediately lowering her body down through the snow and swinging her tail around so she was facing the rock formation growling.

Several seconds later the Widow Mercedes floated down from the rocks and landed gently on the ground.

"ENOUGH DOG!" Widow Mercedes screamed in frustration, "NO MORE GAMES!"

"Aw really? But we were just starting to have some fun…" Wynonna said as she came out from behind the tree and walked forward to stand beside the wolf.

"Good job fur-ball," Wynonna said without taking her eyes off of the Widow, earning a low growl from the wolf beside her.

"I should have known you would be close by," Widow Mercedes said with an evil laugh, "I'll enjoy devouring the Heir and her child!" Widow Mercedes snarled as she lunged forward and hissed, attempting to shoot her paralyzing poison at Wynonna and Kendall.

Mercedes stopped about 10 yards from the pair when she realized that neither of them were falling down or even seeming effected by it.

Kendall's wolf shook her head and let out a loud sneeze as she brought her paw up to wipe her snout.

"Bless you," Wynonna said with a smirk towards the Widow, who now looked outraged.

"ARE YOU SERIOUS?!" the Widow said loudly, "GOD YOU ARE SO ANNOYING!"

"I'll take that as a compliment," Wynonna said with a grin as she raised Peacemaker up at the woman, "Make your peace, bitch."

"You can't kill me with that gun just yet, we can't die by you just yet…" Widow Mercedes said with a grin and evil laugh, "There are rules for those of us who are bound by the seal and you can't kill me Heir… Just like your grandfather couldn't, so go ahead… PULL THE TRIGGER!"

Wynonna scrunched her brow in confusion and starred at the Widow, as if trying to see if she was lying. Wynonna pulled the trigger and instead of hitting the Widow in between the eyes like she normally does, she hit the Widow in the shoulder.

The Widow was pushed back on her left side slightly and looked down at the bullet wound in her shoulder then smiled up at Wynonna, who was standing with her mouth slightly open and Peacemaker lowered just a fraction.

"Your sister is probably dead by now, but don't worry, you'll see her soon… No one will stop us from bringing our husband back!" the Widow growled as she went to lung forward, but was knocked out by Dolls coming from behind her and striking her in the back of the head.

Waverly had dodged the Widow's advances like a professional; all the training with Wynonna and Dolls was truly paying off. Waverly went to back step and swing at the Widow, but her boot slipped in the snow and she lost her balance, opening her side up to a powerful punch from the Widow that knocked her backwards and into the snow; the axe handle falling from her hands.

Waverly had the wind knocked out of her when she smashed into the ground and before she could react, the Widow was straddling her and had her hands wrapped around her neck.

"You won't win this baby Earp!" Widow Beth said with an evil laugh.

The Widow leaned back avoiding the swipes from Waverly's hands. Widow Beth removed her hands from the brunette's neck and grabbed Waverly's arms, digging her fingernails into the other woman's arms hard enough to draw blood from Waverly's wrists.

Widow Beth used her left hand to pin Waverly's hands down in the snow over her head and raised her right hand that had the large metal nails at the end high in the air.

"I'm going to rip your heart out and save it for a snack later!" Widow Beth growled.

Waverly couldn't help herself; she let out a loud scream in fear as the Widow's hand started coming forward quickly, preparing to slice into her.

Waverly suddenly felt the weight of the Widow on her gone and saw a blur of red hair as Nicole tackled the woman off of her and the two went rolling in the snow. Nicole was only a few feet from Waverly and had rolled so that she landed in a crouching position.

Nicole inhaled and released a loud, ear piercing, roar in the direction of Widow Beth, causing the Widow to cover her ears and put her face down in the snow.

Waverly quickly sat up and crawled over to Nicole and placed her hands on the red head's back gently. Nicole kept her gaze on Widow Beth, but reached her right arm back and touched Waverly's upper thigh, moving her thumb slowly in a comforting manner. Waverly could feel Nicole's body moving up and down as the officer panted quietly; the brunette swore she could feel Nicole's heart racing.

Widow Beth landed on her stomach about 10 yards from the couple and lifted her head after the pain in her ears subsided from the roar and was met with a beaming red eyed Nicole looking up at her through the hair that had fallen around the officer's face. Nicole was perched protectively in front of Waverly.

"Why didn't she die?!" Wynonna said as she walked forward holstering Peacemaker.

"I don't know…" Dolls said as he leaned down and put cuffs on the Widow Mercedes tightly, "We will detain her and take her back to the office until we can find out though."

Suddenly the trio heard the faint sound of a woman screaming and then a loud roar coming from the direction of the house.

"WAVERLY!" Wynonna said as she whipped her head around towards the direction of the sounds

Wynonna looked over at the wolf beside her and could see the panic in the blonde's eyes.

"GO! I'll take care of this one!" Dolls yelled at the Heir and the wolf.

Wynonna and Kendall wasted no time as they both began running through the woods.

Nicole stood to her feet and turned slightly so she could glance down at Waverly. The brunette tried to stand up, but quickly fell back into the snow as she felt a pain in her left side from where the Widow had punched her.

Nicole moved so that she was leaning down beside the brunette to check on her, but was stopped from doing anything further when the Widow finally spoke up.

"Theres two of you?" Widow Beth sighed as she pushed herself up off the ground and wiped off her dress.

"Well that's annoying… Stupid mutts… I was just about to eat your girlfriend, she kinda looked in to it if you know what I mean," Widow Beth said with a grin and a wink.

Nicole roared again and this time Waverly was looking up at her girlfriend and saw that now her girlfriend not only had red eyes, but now had two large canine fangs hanging down. Even though Nicole was inches from her when she roared, the noise didn't scare Waverly like it obviously did the Widow, for Waverly the roar was powerful and reassuring; the youngest Earp felt protected.

"Kick her ass baby," Waverly whispered as she looked towards the Widow.

"Bring it on pu-" Widow Beth started but was cut off when Nicole quickly sprinted forward, ramming her with her shoulder and sending the Widow tumbling backwards.

Nicole let out a low growl and smirked as she flashed the Widow her shiny new canine teeth and held her hands out at her side, clenching her fingers and realizing that her normally short nails had now morphed into thick, sharp, and dangerous black claws.

"Well, you're a little faster than I thought… You must be a new hound," Beth grunted as she stood up quickly, "God, I really do hate dogs!" The Widow snarled as she raced forward back at Nicole.
