A little bit of momma Salem in the last chapter which was fun so I decided to do it again in the beginning.

Salem shut her scroll off and placed it on the table in front of her before taking a small sip of her favorite tea. She smiled happily just thinking back on the conversation she just had with her son before her smile died all of a sudden. "I know your there Alec, you can stop skulking in the shadows now" at her command the elder man stepped out from the shadows of the library.

His hair was practically white and his age was obviously catching up to him but his eyes were still the kind only active warriors had. Alec eyed his mistress as she enjoyed another sip of tea "mistress you know jaune is a traitor to our cause so why do you advise him"? Salem placed her steaming mug on the table next to her scroll before turning to her right hand man.

"You've spent several years plotting jaunes demise and all while he believed he was working in our best interest. I don't need to tell you I'm not a fan of disposing my son and your best student just to satisfy your lust for revenge against a man who been dead for over a decade. In light of these circumstance I decided to even the playing field by giving jaune a little bit of info".

Alec didn't seem amused in the slightest but Salem wasn't aiming to please him "if you really want him dead you'll do it with your own hands instead of trying to get cinder to do it".

"Is that your way of saying I have permission to act against him myself"?

Salem smiled viciously "no I'm ordering you to go and face the boy who will be your replacement when he kills you". Alec could see the faith his mistress had in her boy and knew that as long as jaune was still alive it would be impossible to turn Salem into the queen she once was. The elder man gave a small bow to the Grimm queen "as you command" he replied before turning away and leaving the library.

Salem watched the door close before she tried to pick up her scroll. What happened next was a terrible accident when she accidentally knock over her mug of tea and spilled the contents over her scroll. She quickly picked up the scroll and shook what liquid she could off before trying to turn it on. The screen came to life for a brief moment before going dead without her input.

Salem sighed deeply before tossing the scroll back on the table after a few times trying to turn it back on. "I should have gotten watts to get me the huntsmen version rather then the civilian one" she growled.

Next day

Being warm and comfortable were two things most important to her at the moment and why wouldn't it be when you are sleeping. Blake's cat ears twitched as she heard someone whispering something from close by. When she cracked open her eye to get a look at who was talking she noticed Nora leaning over the back of the couch slowly adjusting jaunes head so he was looking downward and whispering "just a little more" to herself.

Jaune was sleeping peacefully until he heard Blake yell out Nora's name. He tried to sit up quickly but crashed into something before falling back onto the couch. He placed his hand over his face because his teeth started to hurt after crashing into whatever it was he crashed into.

When he finally focused on what was hovering over him he noticed his teammate staring down at him with a shocked look on her face. "Nora what are you doing" he grumbled from his spot on the couch. The red head stood up straight and left the room without a word which had jaune turning to the cat faunus at his side "what just happened"?

Blake shrugged like she didn't know anything but jaune could obviously tell that something had happened when he was out. A loud commotion caught their attention and the two turned to hear Ren try to calm a furious woman out for blood or at the very least broke legs.

"HE STOLE MY PURITY"!

"No he didn't" a calmer voice opposed

"I'm tainted" Nora weeped loudly enough that everyone in the dorms close to theirs could have probably heard her. Jaune quickly hopped off the couch and rushed over to Ren and Nora's side to see if he could help at all. Ren eyed him warily at first but after a moment he knew jaune had no idea what was happening or why Nora was so upset.

"Nora what happened? Are you ok" he asked truly concerned for her wellbeing. The red head glared at him "no I'm not, I just got assaulted by a guy and I'm going to hurt him for what he did". Jaune looked shocked "normally I would stop you from doing something like that but it seems like this bastard asked for it" he said with a bit of disdain in his voice.

Nora looked incredibly happy thanks to his words but Ren on the other hand looked horrified that he just practically gave permission to hurt someone to Nora of all people. "So I can hurt him and it's ok? Your sure" the red head asked with hope in her eye's. Jaune nodded "you have my permission to hunt that man down and give him a taste of what happens when you mess with a huntress".

Nora pull her grenade launcher out and changed it to it's hammer form "thank you jaune I knew you'd understand, now hold still" she said as she aimed her hammer at his knee. At first he was confused as to why she was aiming her hammer at him but when she got ready to strike all his danger signals went off and he jumped back, out of the range of her swing. The red heads attack barley missed it's mark and she pulled her hammer back to ready another shot.

"Hold still and it'll only hurt a lot" Nora snarled as she chased after her blonde team leader. Jaune ducked under or jumped over each swing of the red heads hammer as she got tired of aiming for the knee and just tried to hit anywhere she could. Jaune hopped over the couch that Blake was hiding at and used it as a wall to keep Nora at bay "Nora what the hell"?

Nora tried to move to the right so jaune went left and the two remained opposite of each other with Blake in the center. "Nora as your team leader I'm ordering you to explain yourself right now" the blonde demanded.

Nora froze for a moment to think "you said I was free to hurt the person who assaulted me". He had agreed to that but that didn't explain why she was attacking him not unless he assaulted her but there was no chance of that happening. "Ok so explain why you'd attack me? It's not like I'd ever do something like that to you".

Nora's smile seemed innocent to others but promised him a painful death "oh jaune, first you steal my first real kiss and then you have the nerve to pretend like it never happened? I think I'm going to have to teach you why a womans feelings can be a dangerous thing to mess with so carelessly". Jaune eye's turned to Ren for some help but instead he received a blank stare like the silent man just didn't care about what was happening anymore.

The blonde took a deep breath and exhaled before looking back to the red head that wanted to kneecap him. "Nora I'm not exactly sure what happened but I'm sorry for whatever I did or didn't do to you ok". Some part of him hoped his apology would help but the other part of him, the realistic part already knew what was going to happen before it happened.

The red head smiled sweetly and for a second jaune thought the impossible had happened but when she spoke her voice had a slight hiss to it. "Apology accepted so why don't you come over here so I can bury you...I mean so we can bury the hatchet". Jaune sighed deeply before running out of the commons with the red head hot on his tail screaming for him to come back and take it like a man.

Blake and Ren watched the two teammates disappear from the room leaving the two of them alone together. Blake turned to her teammate "what did she mean jaune stole her purity"? Ren decided not to get into the craziness Nora left in her wake and decided to change the subject "so you and jaune were together all night and from the looks of it you both slept togethers as well. Guess that explains why the two of you are always together every time I see you".

Blake blushed and immediately started to deny having that kind of relationship with her fellow team leader just as yang, pyrrha and ruby walked in to the room. Her mouth clicked shut but by the look on Yang and pyrrha's face they either didn't believe her or were planning her demise. For the second time in two days she wished she had never asked jaune to sleep with her.

It took a while but with classes starting up Nora was forced to halt her on going attack against her team leader less she get in trouble with the deputy headmistress Glynda goodwitch. Classes were a dull affair and with each new one jaune was forced to sit away from his team along with Blake since there seemed to be a lot of hate aimed at the two of them. "Am I the only one who thinks this is unfair" jaune complained as they walked to their next class.

Ruby smiled awkwardly "it's a woman thing jaune, you just have to suck it up and not make it worse". Jaune opened his mouth to object but ruby cut him off "yes jaune I know it's still unfair but life has never been fair". The blondes mouth snapped shut before he reached over and yanked ruby's hood over her head before ruffling her hair with the red cloak.

Ruby struggled underneath his hand until she pulled away from him. "I don't need a smart aleck when I'm rolling around in self pity already" he grumbled. Blake sighed from next to him "lucky for you it's just Nora, try handling yang and pyrrha at the same time then get back to me".

Jaune rolled his eyes at the cat faunus "all they've done so far is give you the cold shoulder and ignore you, I'd take that over being chased around by someone willing to snap my bones like twigs". Both ruby and Blake could imagine that happening if Nora caught their blonde friend. The unpleasant thought of seeing jaunes knees snapping like a pair of twigs caused them both to flinch especially when those twigs broke because of large hammer smashed through them.

Right when the three were about to enter miss goodwitch's class the red head jaune worried about caught him from behind and dragged him away before any words could be spoken. Blake and ruby exchanged nervous looks with each other before sending a silent prayer to their soon to be deceased friend.

Nora dragged her prey behind her until they came to a classroom devoid of anyone's presences. With more force then necessary she tossed the blonde into the room before closing and locking the door behind her. Jaune rolled on the ground the second he was thrown into the room before pushing himself to his feet.

He expected Nora to be on him like a wild Grimm out for blood but instead she stood by the door with a frown on her face. If he learned anything about his teammate it was that only two things would stop her from seeking revenge against him for supposedly kissing her. The first was either she calmed down enough that she'd only demand an apology (which didn't seem likely) or two being someone with more authority then a team leader was forcing her to reel in her anger for another reason.

"What happened" he asked even though he had a feeling he wasn't going to like what she was going to say.

"Vernal and cinder received a call via seer from the queen explaining that Alec Mercer will be joining them for the duration of this mission" Nora replied. Jaunes eye's widened at what Alec's arrival would imply but a part of him knew this would happen if what his mother said yesterday was true. The blonde began to pace back and forth as he tried to get his nerves under control.

Nora watched her team leader for a second before continuing "when lady Salem finished speaking to the two of them she asked to speak with mistress vernal alone. Ren, vernal and I were filled in on the situation between your father and master alec so mistress vernal decided to side with you in your fight against Alec's forces".

Jaune froze in his pacing and turned to Nora "if vernal decided to join my side against master Alec, why hasn't she contacted me yet"? Nora's eyes turned downward towards the ground "I was given orders to tell you and Ren of the situation as I know it. Mistress vernal was assumed a traitor shortly after her conversation with Salem so she told me to tell Ren and you that we'll be following your orders from now on".

Jaunes hand covered his face as he tried to get his thoughts in order "so what happened to your mistress Nora"? The red head waited for jaune to look at her before she spoke "she was captured before she could get away".

Alec has joined the battle! Poor Nora and Ren, their mistress was taken and now they are stuck following her last orders.
