The had decided to pair up for the time being in hopes that the creature wouldn't attack them if they were together, but where did they leave the other students of BlackBrick?  They had to put a stop to it, they just had to.  It was their fault that the creature had escaped, and doing nothing would mean death to more innocent individuals and Caleb wasn't going to let that happen.  He looked at Ambrose and smiled softly before once more attempting to stand, only to stumble forward, falling to one knee.  Ariana was about to pick him up when the Headmaster strode in elegantly with a look of concern on his face.  

"You shouldn't be out of bed Caleb," the Headmaster stated with a look so intense Caleb attempted to avoid it.  The Headmaster's eyes fell onto Ambrose and he raised an eyebrow.  "So this is Ambrose?" the Headmaster said strolling over to Ambrose.  He moved as if he were gliding, and in truth, he could very well be.  His robe covered his lower body completely hiding his feet and legs.  He moved a strand of hair from his face, his eyes drilling into Ambrose's deepest darkest fears and desires.  "I must say Ambrose you are quite the young man, clearly out of my son's league."

"DAD!" Caleb interjected looking embarrassed.

"Well I speak the truth, Ambrose is different I can sense it within him, whether he chooses to accept it or not is up to him.  One thing I have learned in my many many many years of living is that you can't change the past, you can only work towards a bright future.  Shutting others out is only going to hurt you," the Headmaster said looking at both Caleb and Ambrose before strolling to the center of the room.  "Nonetheless, I have come with news.  I have decided to grant you four access to the forbidden area in the library, this will help you figure out what it is you are facing.  Also, I have the elves working on charms that will keep you safe as you figure out how to banish whatever you released."

"Thank you, Headmaster," Sam said.  With these new resources, they'd be able to figure it out.

"Also, if you succeed in your endeavors, which I have faith that you will, I will highly recommend becoming student aid advisors.  Share the knowledge," the Headmaster said as he moved over to Caleb who had managed to stand up, but he still felt extremely weak.  "You need to go back to your room in the infirmary, I am sure your boyfriend will visit," he said shooting a look in Ambrose's direction, "I leave you to your vices.  Find it and destroy it, I will do what I can to keep the students safe from here on out."

Caleb's eyes widened at his comment and his face flooded with color as he looked away not wanting to meet Ambrose's gaze or anyone else in the room.  Sam giggled at the comment while Ariana shook her head.  She was about to say something but the Headmaster held up a hand as if he knew she wanted to speak.

"Ambrose, why do you have so many questions?" the Headmaster asked his eyes once again breaking barriers and reaching deep into his soul.
