He stared down at Caleb's limp body, wondering if they would have to conitinue on without him. He didn't even realize how much it hurt to face that reality until now. He was snapped out of his thoughts as Sam and Ariana spoke up. Ambrose nodded and shaily pulled himself up, Ariana picking up Caleb's and Ambrose pulling Caleb up by his shoulders. Ambrose couldn't bring himself to check around the library to see if everyone else was successful. He felt overwhelmingly sick.

Ariana and Ambrose staggered over to the infirmary with Caleb in tow, as soon as they got there the school doctor jumped up and helped him to a bed and got to work. In a couple minutes a few helping hands joined. Ambrose and Ariana sat in a small waiting room, and after a couple hours a nurse came out to inform them Caleb was making progress. He wasn't out of the woods but they had some of the best healers working on him. Ariana took care of the details, coming up with a simple but believable backstory. Ambrose sat silently, eyes fixed on the ground. Once they were alone Ariana tried to talk to him, asking what happened. But Ambrose said nothing, still shaking silently, trying to process everything in his head. 

Eventually Ariana left to tell everyone else in the library about Caleb's condition and try to get in touch the headmaster. Ambrose had a feeling though that he already knew. Ambrose stayed in his seat motionless for hours, it didn't feel right to stay there but it felt worse to just go hide in his dorm room. He didn't know where to go from here.
