She was in and out of consciousness, she remembers being thrown over someone's shoulder and set onto a cold metal table.

The sting from the needle and thread being woven into her skin. The soft gauze being wrapped around various parts of her body.

It wasn't until two days later she awoke, she was in the backseat of a truck, passing the 'Welcome to Purgatory' sign.

"Hello?" She asked as she sat up

"You're awake, good." The man spoke

"Why are we leaving the city?" She asked once more

"You've been compromised, people know who you are. That mission you ran before the plane exploded, was just to draw you out. They aren't going to stop, they'll kill everyone you care about." He said while turning onto the highway

"Who?"

"BBD. They'll kill Nicole, and I know you don't want that to happen, Waverly." The man said

"H-how do you know my name?" Waverly asked

"Wynonna. Me and her were apart of the BBD, we were both trying to get information on them. She trusted me to get you out of the city after the explosion."

"Wait, I don't understand. Why would she—," Waverly stopped as soon as she realized, "She wanted to protect me."

"And Nicole." He said sadly

"No-, there has to be another way. I can't just leave her behind. I love her!" Waverly started shouting

"Sometimes the best thing to do, is to leave them behind." He said while pulling a letter out from a bag and handing it to Waverly

She saw Wynonna's handwriting and immediately put it down, "Turn around. I'm not leaving."

"I'm sorry, that isn't your choice." He said as he pulled a syringe out

"Now." Waverly threatened

"I'm sorry." He reached back and injected Waverly with the syringe

The last thing that was on Waverly's mind, was Nicole as she blacked out.

———

Nicole woke up and stared at the ceiling, not motivated to get up. She heard Wynonna call for her, but ignored it.

"Nicole, you need to get up. It's been two days." Wynonna said with a careful tone

Nicole turned and looked at her, "How can you be so emotionless. Your sister is dead, Waverly is dead!"

Wynonna took a gulp, "They haven't found a body."

Nicole immediately sat up, "What?"

"The search team, hasn't found a body." Wynonna repeated while sitting at the edge of the bed, fumbling something between her fingers

"So she could still be alive?" Nicole hopefully asked

"Most likely not, I'm sorry." Wynonna looked at the floor, "Uhm-, I found this in the pocket of your clothes, I thought you'd might want to have it."

Wynonna handed Nicole a ring. Nicole took it, thinking back to when Waverly pushed her off of the plane. Waverly had slipped a ring into her pocket.
