Hello again! I'm so sorry for not uploading another chapter. So here it is! :-) Again sorry if it feels a bit rushed, I had some stuff to do today and probably tomorrow but you cam bet I will continue making the chapters longer and more in-depth eh?

Running through Emerald Forest seemed difficult. The amount of vegetation and grass, the obstacles would never end!

Just a bit more... Summer sped past trees and bushes, her Semblance leaving white and red colored rose petals on the ground.

"Come in, Summer, where are you?"

Qrow's voice rang throughout the silent forest, though not for long. As she contiued travelling at speeds unimaginable, a pack of Beowolves was hot on her trail, thanks to Taiyang's idea. The plan was for Summer and Raven to lure a pack of Beowolves into a large manhole, setup by Qrow and Taiyang. However, as she and Raven approached the beasts, another pack had spotted them and the two huntresses-in-training were forced to fight, though Summer, not wanting anything to happen to Raven, ordered her to retreat while she brought the Beowolves towards the trap.

"I'll be arriving soon, be ready to fight a few extra, there's definitely more than you bargained for Tai!" She called on her com.

"Wait, what?!"

Summer saw the hole and literally flew over it, the pack of Beowolves appearing from the trees and falling into Tai's trap. It seemed as if time had slowed as she flew over the hole, petals falling into it as she made contact with the ground on yhe other side. Raven ran over to her partnered and unsheathed her sword, preparing as the remaining Grimm jumped towards them.

"Alright guys get ready!" Qrow yelled as his sword transformed into a scythe. Taiyang was already punching and kicking a few Grimm into the ground. Summer and Raven stood back-to-back as Beowolf after Beowolf jumped at them.

"At least we don't have to worry about those other Grimm. Those spikes at the bottom must've finished them off!" Raven said, as she sliced the Grimm in front of her with her fire-infused sword.

"I wouldn't get your hopes up too much. There's nothing down there, I suggest we finish up here and leave." Qrow said as he finished off anothet Beowolf. The fighting raged on for a good fifteen minutes when they had decided to run from Emerald Forest and back to the cliff side, the lot of them coming out with minor scratches and bruises everywhere, though Summer looked a little more beaten up than her team.

"Well, at least we tried. I'm gonna go eat out or something. Wanna come?" Taiyang said, stretching as they walked back to Beacon.

"Not before you take a shower! Then again I guess we all need showers-" Summer froze in place as she felt her stomach area sting a bit, gaining the attention of Raven.

"Are you okay?"

"I-I'm sure I'm fine, we all took kind of a beating today right? Nothing-" a wince, "a shower can fix..."

"Sum, you're not okay. " Qrow chimed in, kneeling down to observe Summer's wound. The boy closed his eyes and picked Summer bridal-style, "Here, let's go to the infirmary."

"Qrow I'm good! Put me down!" Summer protested as her teammate carried her back to the school. She noticed a strange look on Raven's eyes as Qrow took her away, is she...

-

Summer lay on one of the beds inside the infirmary. There was no one else besides her and the nurse, who was walking back and forth between her computer and Summer. Ugh thid sucks! I bet the team's out there eating or probably already sleeping. Though I can't shake that look Raven was giving me and Qrow when he brought me in here.

"Is she okay?"

She heard a very familiar voice outside, and soon enough, Raven walked into the infirmary room, followed by Qrow, who had a small purple spot forming in the corner of his face. Okay?

"We brought you some chow. That gash was pretty big, I'm surprised you even made it out of the forest-"

"Of course she made it out. You're strong Summer... anyway, we brought you some food a-and I'll be staying here with you until the nurse says you can leave."

Summer's cheeks flushed a light shade of pink. Her thoughts suddenly went back to yesterday, when she and Raven were entranced by each other, silver and red eyes meeting, lips a centimetre apart, damn it Qrow! Summer nodded at the taller girl, who's cheeks were equally as pink as hers.

"Aaanyway," Qrow said, breaking the small silence. "I'm gonna head out and take a shower. Taiyang is still out there waiting on another box of pizza in the courtyard." He waved thr girls goodbye and left them in the small infirmary room. Raven looked back at the red-haired girl and saw her staring at nothing. "What's wro-"

"Hang on. I'm trying to heal this wound so we can get out of here."

"Hey no rush," Raven said, placing the pizza slice on the girl's hands. "Besides, tomorrow's Saturday, so don't overwork yourself."

"Oh puuhhhleeez Raven, this is nothing for the great Summer Rose!"

As Summer pretended to hold a sword in the air, she felt Raven's hand meet hers. She had taken one of her hands and cupped it in between her own, "Summer you're fucking lucky okay? That was a large gash on your stomach a-and you could've bleeded out p-puting and end to the great S-Summer... Rose..."

Summer was shocked at the girl's frantic words, was she... worried about me?

"I'm okay Raven! Really, look!" she lifted up her shirt up a bit to show the now healing scar.

"J-Just don't do something stupid again okay? If you do I-"

"Alright Mrs. Rose you're free to go. I trust you'll rest after using your already drained aura to heal the wound?"

The red-haired girl nodded and gave the nurse a reassuring smile. The nurse nodded and took the I.V. off of her arm, a small bruise left in it's place. Great, now I gotta fix this bruise.

"Thanks ma'am, we'll be on our way okay?"

The nurse nodded and saw the girls walk out, Summer munching on her pizza as they headed out.

"I need to take a looooooong shower right now." Summer sighed. She hoped Qrow was already done with his so she could take her time taking a very much needed shower.

"H-Hey Summer?"

"Yeah?"

Raven began stroking her long, black hair in a nervous way. "Remember y-yesterday?"

Summer froze in place as her face began turning red and felt hot. "S-Sure... w-what about it-" Her body was suddenly pushed against the wall as her lips met Raven's. It felt began feeling hot as she was too close to Raven's body, the faint scent of citrus filling her nostrils. She closed her eyes and kissed the girl back, enjoying every bit of this moment. I love her...
