Jake hadn't managed to sleep at all the previous night. 

He'd been too amped up with adrenaline, too worried about his friends and whatever monster stalked the halls of Strange Academy. While he trusted that Franklin would be able to figure out what happened to Pedrito soon enough, he didn't like how vulnerable they all were. Cassie had agreed to let him spend the night in her room, allowing him to at least keep her and whatever roommates of hers were present safe. He sat on the floor at the foot of the bed, leaning up against the mattress, his eyes fixed on the door. It had been easy to hyperfocus and to fixate on his task, to only rarely stray from his post. But once morning came and the school was buzzing with life again, he was satisfied that no one would be able to hurt Cassie. He didn't know what he would do if something happened to her. 

But there were others to protect, too. And given that they were supposed to meet with their covens, he knew Connie and Barty wouldn't have anyone else looking out for them, whereas the other covens were groups of four. So he'd beamed at Cassie, offered her a million goodbyes, before running off in the direction Nicky had taken him the previous day, skidding to a halt only once he reached the library, hovering outside of the door that led to the Statue of Ardyon. 

He turned to the door and spoke to it, as if the frozen man inside could hear - [COLOR=9A5B8A]"Hi, Ardyon! Good morning!! I'll be in there once the others get here!! I have so much to tell you though, you missed a lot. I made more friends! Cassie and I learned how to say things to be calm and then make sparkles. We went to the food place and everyone else got to eat, I think they really liked the food - and there were some new bird friends! The bird friends came with us as we went to look for a missing head and it turned out to be the rest of the body Frankie and I were working on - Frankie is really nice, he makes me feel all floaty and warm! So then Frankie went off to investigate and I've been trying to figure out who is hurting people, so I can stop it. You were protecting things, right? So you get how important it is to protect people who can't protect themselves. Connie and Barty can't do it, so I have to do it for them. And you! I'll make sure no monsters get you either! How are you today? Did you sleep well? I was up all night, but I feel fantastic, so it's okay!!"[/color]
