Adventure In The Dark
Tragedy 527 - He has changed…
...***...
"I've checked his condition, and he's fine."
"Really?"
Amanda nodded slowly in response.
"Thank God." Joe smiled with relief. He's really calm now, knowing that Derek's okay.
He approached his brother who was still unconscious there.
"Thank you for holding on for me, Derek." Joe was crying happily.
Joe turned his head to Amanda who was standing with a smile watching them.
"You're saying he's okay, but why hasn't he realized yet?" ask Joe.
"The condition is stable. And that means, he'll soon be conscious. You just have to wait for him for a minute."
"alright. Thank you." Thank you."
"No problem. Speaking of which I'm going to check on you, it seems that you're also quite badly injured." Amanda approached Joe and asked him to sit down so he could check.

Dorothy was silent in her room. I don't know what the old woman was dreaming about.
But for sure, both eyes glazed for no reason.
Krieett…
Luna opened the wooden door of her room. Dorothy's focus was immediately seized by her arrival.
Luna closed the door tightly and immediately approached the woman she had thought was like her own mother.
"There's something I'm asking you," he said with a faint face.
"What?" Dorothy looked at the young woman standing before her.
"What are you really thinking? Why do you want to help both of them, when clearly they are the guards who once destroyed our village. Especially the man who was beating up on you!" luna protest.
He still cannot accept the decision Dorothy took to help Joe and Derek.
"But he who once made our village destroyed! He's also the one who put your life in danger!"
Bruk!
Luna's body collapses in front of Dorothy. His two eyes were glazed over, and his voice trembled.
He remembers very well what happened in the past. The incident when he had to part with Dorothy who sacrificed herself to save the other villagers.
"Don't you care about me? Don't you know how anxious I was when I thought you were dead?" Luna sobs.
Dorothy just kept quiet while looking at him softly. He knew, Luna was only worried because she had once thought of herself as dead.
"I'm really worried they're destroying our village again. I'm really worried, what used to happen will happen again" he said.
Luna leaned her head against Dorothy's lap and started crying there.
"I don't want to lose you…"
"…I don't want to part with you anymore…"
"…You've been considered my own mother. And if anything happens to you, I won't be able to accept it" he said.
Dorothy smiled faintly.
His hand lifted and began to wipe Luna's long mane full of tenderness.
"I know you're anxious and afraid of losing me" Dorothy muttered.
"…But don't make your fear an excuse not to help people who need our help…"
"…After all, he really needs our help…"
"…Didn't you see how he tried so hard to save his sister?"
Luna looked up. Look at the master who spoke to him.
"But what if he lied to us? What if he ends up doing what he used to do to us?" his rest.
"That's not gonna happen. I'm sure Joe has changed."
"Where do you know that?"
