"The school is closed for at least a week, the Krampus is still out there somewhere and we're still assessing the damage," Zelda rambled out while pacing around the living room.
"Take a few breaths Zelda, at least none of the students were seriously injured," Hilda said, her hands clasped at her chest.
Ambrose, Nick and Sabrina watched them soberly. Sabrina glanced at Ambrose who looked distressed, confused and angry.
"Hilda lets head back to the Academy. You three try to stay inside and travel in groups if you do go anywhere. We don't know where that Krampus will pop up again."
"Why didn't you tell us the Krampus was even capable of showing up?" Sabrina said with a tinge of anger in her voice.
"Oh Sabrina, the Krampus hasn't been seen in Greendale in decades," replied Hilda.
"The Krampus is attracted to shadow energy. Apparently, residents of Greendale are having dark thoughts," Zelda explained.
"Too dark," Hilda added.
Zelda looked the group up and down then rushed out the living room with Hilda following behind.
Nick grabbed Sabrina by the waist, "How are you feeling Sabrina."
Sabrina looked to Nick, "I'm okay…,"
"And you Ambrose? What happened back there," Nick said looking to Ambrose.
"I don't know….one moment me and Harvey were dancing and the next we were fighting," Ambrose said sadly, looking down and walking across the room.
Sabrina watched Ambrose closely. She couldn't pinpoint what she was feeling.
"He called me…a filthy witch...," Ambrose sighed, barely audible.
"I mean….he does descend from Witch hunters," Nick retorted.
Ambrose shot Nick a look. Nick looked like he regretted his words.
Sabrina looked between them and spat out, "No, that's not it!"
Nick and Ambrose snapped to Sabrina.
"Well what was it then?" Ambrose asked suspiciously.
"I…I don't…Harvey is not a Witch Hunter…I just think it could be something else," Sabrina sputtered out.
Ambrose's eyes narrowed while Nick looked at Sabrina with concern.
"Can you talk to him Sabrina?" Nick asked.
Sabrina couldn't hide her surprise, "Me? Why me?"
"Well your closest to him Sabrina," Nick replied.
Ambrose looked at Sabrina expectantly. A sadness radiated from him.
"But the Krampus…," Sabrina said quietly.
"You can Astral project," Nick said.
"Okay…should I tell him anything Ambrose?" Sabrina asked.
"I don't know if I have anything to say to him anymore," Ambrose said walking out of the living room and up the stairs.
Sabrina watched him as her stomach twisted into knots.
Harvey kicked a hay bale angrily then paced around his shed. Pain and anger danced within him as he replayed the events of the ball. He wondered why this animosity for Ambrose erupted in him but a part of it felt so right to him.
"Harvey."
Harvey flipped around to find Sabrina standing apprehensively and sad looking.
"Sabrina…you scared me." Harvey said running a hand through his hair.
"Sorry Harvey…I just came to check up on you."
Harvey shook his head and plopped down on a bale of hay.
"What is there to talk about? A demon goat crashed through a ceiling and I broke up with my partner that I wasn't with for even a week."
Sabrina bit her lip, "You sound…okay with it?"
Harvey grimaced, "I don't know Sabina. I thought I liked him…but maybe we just rushed into it. Maybe I was lonely after losing yo-,"
Sabrina's attention fixed on Harvey.
"Not lose…but after we broke up," Harvey finished.
"Yeah…maybe," Sabrina said.
Harvey, slumped over, took a big breath and shook his head.
"What do I tell Ambrose," Sabrina asked sounding concerned.
"Tell Ambrose…what he should already know. That we're not anything to each other."
"Knock Knock," Nick said Knocking on Ambrose's open door.
Ambrose was face down on his bed. He craned his neck to Nick and plopped his face back onto the bed.
He let out a mumbled "come in" through the mattress.
"I'm sorry about you and Harvey," Nick said walking in.
Ambrose pulled himself to sit up. He looked sad and worn.
"What did I expect? Bad luck seems to follow me. I didn't know why I thought I could be happy. Even if not for a moment," Ambrose said in almost a whisper.
Nick looked on empathically.
"Enough about me. At least you and Sabrina seem well. That's at least one happy Spellman."
"Yeah me and Sabrina are doing great…well mostly," Nick said.
Ambrose raised an inquisitive eyebrow.
"Something is missing. Sometimes I feel like just a friend and not a real Partner," Nick explained.
Ambrose mulled it over, "The fire isn't there?"
Nick considered it and nodded.
"Have you talked to Sabrina about it?" Ambrose asked.
Nick shook his head.
"Well maybe you should. As for me, I'm going to brood for a few more hours. Maybe days. If you could close the door that would be much appreciated."
Nick smiled, "Sure, Sabrina should be about done projecting."
Ambrose sighed and crawled under his covers. A part of him nervously anticipated what Sabrina and Harvey talked about. Though he wasn't sure if Harvey possibly not wanting anything to do with him anymore was good news or bad news.
