Tragedy 525 - We'll help him!
...***...
"You're the only people who can help us on this island. So I beg you, help me." said Joe Lirih.
"We can't trust you!" hatch Fero.
"Here you go, ignore him. We better get back to finding firewood for the campfire!" Luna turned around along with the others. But Joe's cries stopped them.
"Why don't you guys want to help me! My sister really needs your help. Do you have no feelings?" joe shouted with sobs.
He looked at Derek who was lying in his lap. "I'm really sorry Derek…"
"Look! Your tears won't work to melt our feelings!" hatch Fero.
"What are you guys doing?" Suddenly Dorothy came to the children of her village.
Luna and the others spontaneously turned their heads towards the woman who had just arrived.
"Dorothy…"
Dorothy was silent with wide eyes when she saw Joe and Derek sitting in the sand.
Joe was crying while Derek was unconscious, and the teenagers living in his village just kept quiet and were about to leave as if they had not seen what happened.
"You!"
Dorothy's sentence made Joe spontaneously look up to her.
Dorothy approaching. "What are you doing here?" tanyakanya.
Still in a standing position.
Joe brushed Derek away and approached Dorothy, pulling and holding her hand.
"Help me.. hyks.." Joe said softly while looking at him closely. "My sister needs help…"
"…If he is not dealt with quickly, then he will die." Joe pleaded with me. He's sobbing.
"You're not gonna help her, are you, Dorothy?" ask Luna to make sure.
Joe bowed, prostrating at Dorothy's feet to show that he really needed help.
"The guards will be here soon to arrest us. If I fail to save my brother, then there is really no hope for us" Joe said in a trembling voice.
"I betrayed them. I no longer want to work for them. I want to be free, I want to take my sister off this island. So help me…"
"…Only he's the only family I have. Save her…"
"…I beg you to save him!" Joe poured out his whole heart. Hopefully that way, they can give their trust for him and want to help him and Derek.
"I told you your code wouldn't work. Never mind, let's get away from the…"
"We'll help!" cut Dorothy fast.
It makes Fero who just said, made to look at by the striking sentence that was just thrown from the mouth of his village head.
"Wait, what?" Luna's the least trusting here.
"We will help you" Dorothy said.
"Thank you. I'm really grateful." Joe wiped his tears.
"Wait, you're kidding me, aren't you, Dorothy? You can't help them, can you? Did you forget? They are the guards who once attacked our village and destroyed everything." Luna could not accept.
Dorothy looked at the woman in front of her.
"We're gonna help him. I know what's best for us!" Dorothy.
The old woman looked at Fero and the others. "Help him, and take them to the village. We'll help treat the wound" Dorothy said.
Fero and the others seemed doubtful. But they couldn't possibly protest at him.
