Clay and Mallory are in the living room, the beautiful fire warms them. "I know you have a purpose for coming here Mallory, what is it?" Clay asked her. "Did I?" she tries to recall what happened to her before she got to this village. "Oh I remember that my parents are dead..." Mallory just blurted it out like it's nothing. He is shock by the news that she loses her parents too. Then Mallory began to cry. "I-I'm h-here to f-find help..." she shivers from remembering how the blood and glass is scattered, the sound of the blood dripping. Clay stood up and went to Mallory's side and hugs to comfort her. "I know that feeling Mallory" he strokes her back to calm her down.
After awhile they settle down. "Do you still remember how'd you got here?" he asked in a worrying tone. "Yeah I know" she bobs her head and then he stands up "Alright mate let me just get the meds and letz get on the road" he said it in a British way. "Do you do that voice when you're alone?" Mallory asked. "Yeah, sometimes I do that voice with my friends" he prepares the first aid materials. "Woah you have friends?" Mallory said in a joking way. "Of course I have, I bet you don't have one" Mallory realizes that she got roasted by a country bumpkin. "Hey want some milk? you look thirsty"
Clay looks at her. "No thank you" Mallory replied calmly, in the inside she's totally pissed. They went out of the cozy house and then Mallory leads the way.
When they almost reached the gate of Drawn Village, Clay stopped her. "Mallory wait" she stops and looks at him. "You can't just walk into that forest" he warns her. "But this is the way I got here" she reads his expressions, she reads that he is scared and he is worried. "How did you got through the forest?" Clay asked with a puzzled look on his face. "I just followed the yellow path" Mallory answered afterwards she points at the direction where the yellow path but it's not there anymore.
"No way..." Mallory mutters in shock. She walks towards the copses and tries to find the yellow path. While she's looking for it, Clay thinks deeply about the news his found in the newspaper that there are some futuristic people claimed to find this village by following the yellow path, a few days later they are found dead in the grey woods. They are dead because they are trying to leave the village. "Mallory you can't leave the village" Mallory stands still and meets his eyes. "Why?" she gets the feeling of being scared, waiting for the expected answer. "People like you, who wanted to flee from this village, they died when they cross through the grey woods" she takes a deep breath "But I got here safe-" she gets interrupted by Clay "Yeah I get it that you came here alive and well, those people who are like you experienced the same thing, it is by getting here unharmed then they try to leave, they die" he said it straight. "You can't even find the yellow path anymore" he added then his hand points at the forest showing that there's nothing to be found. Silence envelops the place. "What am I going to do then?" she asked him. "Well if you want to go that badly, even though you know that your parents are dead probably all decomposed, covered in worms and maggots-" he gets slapped by Mallory and he bits his lip "Yeah I totally deserve that" he mumbled. "Fuck you Clay, you're so disrespectful" she hits his shoulder and walks away. "Only to you sunshine" he muttered under his breath. She keeps walking. "Hey if you keep walking to nowhere you can't find the way to your home " he shouts. Mallory wipes her tears and goes back to him. "You got a plan?" she crosses her arms. "Not yet but I know someone who can help" they went back to the village and came to another small house. Clay knocks at the door and Mallory gets startled when she saw the one who answered the door.
