I'm sorry I haven't updated for a while, I was really busy over the term holidays and have an internal due that I need to spend the weekend working on. I have a sizable portion of the next chapter written, so it shouldn't be too long before I can post it. Just give it a few days.
Also I've actually planned out most of the plot, which is the most organized I've ever been while writing. Hopefully that gives me inspiration to write more and chapter 9 (?) will be up soon.
