After hearing all of that, Janice was so depressed. Carl could feel it that she is blaming herself but when he will say anything about to make her feel better, she would just pass a smile. He brought her painting stuff, cooking items and pottering stuff to make her busy. After 4 weeks, Carl went to the Lab and got shock by the news that Drake has escaped. He knew exactly where he had went. He ran towards the stump lab and found Drake there. He was sitting on the stump.
"Drake!" ,shouted Carl.
Drake stood up, his bones CRACKED! ,his skin color was red and blue and turned around.
Carl was breathing so hard and after catching his breath, he hugged Drake.
"How did you get here? How did you escape?" ,said Carl.
"How is Janice?" ,said Drake. His voice was a bit weak and heavy.
"She is okay. She is at my house. Let's go meet her. She was so worried-"
"No! she is better off without me."
"No, she wants to see you."
"I don't want her to see me. She doesn't need me anymore."
"How you can say that?"
"I- I am no longer that Drake. This will just hurt her more."
"I told her everything and I think she is blaming herself. She needs you and she wants to see you or-"
"Just be by her side and tell her that I am okay."
"She will ask for you." ,said Carl.
And in a flash, he was gone.
"Drake! Seriously?"
While on his way home, he came to know why Drake didn't ask about where Janice was Because he already knew about that. It made him think that he may be watching them from the forest.
When Carl came near the house he could smell something burning. He quickly ran through the front door into the kitchen. There he saw something lying on the table burnt then he ran towards the living room and saw Janice trying to do pottering. Her hands and face was all covered with clay.
