Here's Chapter 8 a bit later than i wanted it to be out but i did it.

Chapter 8 : In Good Hands (Part 2)

"He's lucky he didn't rip him to shreds." Aunt Katherine said sitting down on the couch. "I'm sorry you guys had to seem him that way, but he just loses it when someone he cares about gets hurt... and he cares about a lot of people."

"I never would have imagined it to be that bad" Velvet said sitting next to Katherine. "That that's what he's capable of..."

"He's still asleep." Ren said walking from down the stairs." I don't think he's waking up anytime soon."

"Good then I need to ask a favor from you all." Aunt Katherine said standing up.

"What is it Ms. Storm-shield?" Ruby asked

"Ruby, take your team to town and get me everything on this list here take this it should be enough." Aunt Katherine said handing her Lien and a list.

"On it Ms. Storm-shield." Ruby said exiting the house with her team.

"Jaune was it? You and your team start moving the furniture from the living room to the kitchen the floor needs to be absolutely clear and keep watch on Trey he shouldn't wake up, but if he does call me right away." Aunt Katherine said looking in his direction.

Jaune nodded and team JNPR began moving the furniture one by one.

"Anna, Phoebe, and Roland I need you to go to Forever Fall and bring me the sap from the trees." Aunt Katherine said handing Anna a jar.

"We won't be long." Anna said rushing out the door with Roland and Phoebe behind her.

"Velvet I want you to come with me to the library." Aunt Katherine said now looking at Velvet.

"Ok let me get my coat." Velvet agreed.

45 minutes later*

"Shouldn't they be back already? Pyrrha said pacing back and forth across the living room.

At that moment the door swung open revealing Aunt Katherine with everyone behind her.

"Ok put everything on the table I'll take it from here." she said pulling her hair back.

Aunt Katherine began to paint a perfect circle with all sorts of runes and symbols along the edges and inside it.

"Anna, Phoebe get water and mix the sap in it until it looks drinkable."Aunt Katherine said finishing the circle.

They nodded and began the task.

"Roland I need you to get Trey from his room."

Roland gave off a salute and went upstairs.

"The rest of you light those candles and spread them across the room."

Team RWBY and JNPR obeyed. After that was done Roland came down stairs with Trey holding his arm over his shoulder.

"What is all this...?" I asked exhausted.

"Here drink this." Anna said handing me a cup with red liquid.

"What is this?" I asked.

"Sports drink." She said quickly.

I was thirsty. I chugged the whole thing.

"That's not..." I said before passing out

"What happened to him?" Blake asked from behind Aunt Katherine.

"That sap puts him to sleep and I need him like that for the final part."

"Final part?" Blake said confused.

"Roland put him in the circle. I suggest you all wait outside this won't take long." Aunt Katherine said.

Aunt Katherine waited for everyone to be out the door before she started chanting strange verses in a dead language. The painted circle went from black to grey then white with each sentence that she spoke. She used a small mallet to hammer a piece of wood with a blade with teeth pointing down from it tattooing symbols onto the marks Trey already had on his arm. The current markings that stretched to his forearm reverted behind his elbow. The painted circle and symbols began to fade as each symbol was tattooed. Aunt Katherine continued until the circle and symbols faded completely from the floor. With that being done the ritual was complete.

I woke up on the floor with my shirt off. I looked around the room and saw that the furniture had been pushed into the kitchen.

"What am I doing on the floor? Where is everyone?" I asked Aunt Katherine in confusion.

"Good you're awake that means it worked."

"What worked? What did you do?" I said looking for my shirt.

"You could say I...put you on a leash." she said handing my shirt to me.

I noticed fox ears appearing from the front door.

"We'll talk about this later right now we have party to start!" Aunt Katherine said putting the furniture back in its proper placing.

That being the signal all my friends came through the door. Aunt Katherine turned on the radio to an older kind of rock and roll station. Surprisingly my friends didn't groan in disappointment, but instead enjoyed it. Aunt Katherine may be still be stuck in her younger years, but at least she had taste. I motioned Velvet over to join in on the fun.

"Oh c'mon let loose a little." I said taking her hand and pulling her to the center of the room.

"I don't really know how to dance." She said holding her arm.

"Here I'll show you." I said letting go of her hand. "Just watch me."

I did an easy enough dance so she could copy. She perfectly mimicked the moves I had shown her.

"See? You're doing great. You're even better than Phoebe." I said with a laugh

Overhearing what I said Phoebe threw a grape at my head.

"I'll have you know my dance moves are the best in all of Vale!" she shouted from the kitchen.

After a while of socializing with my friends I couldn't help but notice that Velvet was nowhere to be found. I went outside and looked around, but no sign of her. Maybe she went home. Walking back inside I noticed the ladder leaning against the house. I climbed it seeing rabbit ears grow with each step I climbed.

"Velvet what are you doing up here by yourself?" I asked sitting down next to her.

"Just looking at the stars, they're supposed to be pretty bright this time of year." Velvet answered looking up into the sky.

"They are pretty bright." I said looking up to the sky as well.

A few minutes past and Velvet spoke in a soft tone.

"Trey, can I ask you something?"

"What's on your mind?" I asked wondering what she was about to say.

"Did you mean what you said that day? When Jake tried to kill you?" she said facing me

It was time to confess.

"Yes I did and I said it because I thought I wouldn't have another chance to tell you later. So to answer your question again .Yes I am in love with you Velvet Scarlatina."

Our eyes locked in each other's gaze.

"Good because I'm in love you as well Trey Storm-shield I always have been." She said still gazing at my red and blue eyes.

We leaned in close removing the space between us and shared a kiss under the stars. After our lips separated Velvet spoke in that soft tone I enjoyed hearing.

"Shouldn't we be getting back to the party?"

"Nah I think I like it out here with you a bit more than being challenged by Phoebe." I said trying to be funny

Velvet leaned her head on my shoulder and I put my arm around her as we spent the rest of the night gazing at the stars.
