Tragedy 523 - Help my sister!

"That's them!" yelled at the people chasing Joe.
Joe looked back and found some evolvers moving towards him by boat.
Lothawat! Joe raises Derek's body, he immediately takes him to the woods to find a safe place to hide.
The ship used by the guards stopped at the beach. The guards immediately stepped off the ship and rushed to scatter to comb the entire island in order to catch them.
Joe kept running with the rest of his energy that was really only a little left.
Bruk!
Joe's body finally reached its limit. He fell in the middle of the wilderness while trying to escape from the pursuit of the guards.
His breathing was breathless, and his body trembled violently as his energy was completely depleted.
Joe could only maintain his consciousness with his energy.
He lowered Derek's body from his back.
Staring at Derek in this state made his tears come back to drip. He really felt like a failure as a big brother who was supposed to take care of his sister.
Joe hugged Derek's body and cried.
"I'm sorry, Derek. I've failed to protect you.." she said sobbing.
"I'm no longer strong enough to run, my energy is completely drained…"
"And it looks like we're gonna get caught. Before that happens, I want to apologize to you for failing to protect you as I promised."
"I failed to get you off this island…"
"I'm sorry, I.." Joe's crying broke out.
He's really desperate. I don't know what else he can do to protect Derek and escape the guards.
His energy ran out, and he couldn't run anymore.
At a time like this, he only wished for a miracle to come to them.
Wishing someone came to help him out of this predicament.

The woman continued to walk through the forest. Expect to find as much wood as possible to fuel their campfire later in the night.
Taps!
I think someone is crying. But where did it come from?
The woman spread her gaze around, trying to find the origin of the voice she heard.
Taps!
Slowly, he followed the direction of the voice he heard.
Is correct. I'm not wrong.
There are people who cry.
A man.
But, who? Why cry in the woods, early in the morning like this?
The woman was constantly approached by various questions that came to her mind.
Amidst the confusion, he continued to step up until he could finally see the silhouette of the figure that created the voice.
His figure is not too clear, considering the forest where it is grown by trees that are thick enough to cover his view.
Who'sis that?
He narrowed both his eyes. His feet stepped back, eroding the distance closer to the owner of the voice to ensure his figure.
"Hello? Who's there?!" call him in a loud voice.
There's no answer. The man was too busy with his sobs.
He kept moving closer.
"Hello, who's there?" his shout was firmer while stopping his steps among the trees that were not too clinging to each other.
The man spontaneously averted his gaze while stopping the crying.
"Who is that?!" Joe asked back while shouting.
"You're really human?" ask the woman while approaching.
"Please!" joe shouted who remembered Derek's condition.
"Whoever you are, help me! Please brother!" said Joe.
