Tragedy 528 - You're just worried

"He's changed."
"How can you be so sure they've changed?" Luna was doubtful of the decision taken by Dorothy.
"Listen, Luna. You don't have to worry too much about Joe and his sister. Even if he did, they wouldn't do anything, because we're more numerous than them."
"But, Dorothy…"
"I'll make sure he's really changed. So you don't worry too much."
Luna sighed softly while wiping away the tears that had been wetting her face ever since.
"Alright, I believe you," he said.
Dorothy smiled knotingly. "I'm glad to hear that. Thank you for believing in me."
"But I only gave one chance to them. If Joe proves to be lying to us, then I won't be able to forgive him anymore."
"Okay. Thank you for trying to believe."
"Yes. Then I'll go first." Luna moved from her place.
"All right."
Luna passed by leaving Dorothy alone in her room.
After Luna left, Dorothy was silent again in her daydream.
I know, you're just worried about losing me. But you can't stop me from helping them…

The island, a year ago.
2019
Everyone's attention was suddenly seized by the voice they were with. The sound of something breaking.
"T. friends.." Thalia, the youngest of them spoke in a soft voice.
Everything spontaneously turned towards the girl.
The little girl looked up while pointing towards the air. Everyone's reflexes are looking up. Look at what he saw.
Everyone could see the transparent dome Luna had created. It appeared then disappeared again, continuing like that until the shield dome broke.
Prangs!
Everyone turned their eyes to see what was happening. Panic began to wander their bodies once they realized the protective dome had broken.
"Wire, the dome broke!" fret Dorothy. "This all happened, definitely because of Luna's weakened condition after fighting with the guards earlier."
"How now? What do we do?" Daisy is just as anxious as the others.
"The guards who were after him will definitely find the whereabouts of our village, and they will try to catch us." Dorothy looked at the helplessly sprawled man nearby.
"As much as possible, we must defend this village!" fero is full of confidence.
"It's not safe, even if we stay here. They'll still find our whereabouts."
"Then what should we do? We can't just shut up, can we?" Kevin raised his voice. His face was panicking, not playing.
While they panic, different only with dozens of other residents who now look confused. They don't know what to do.
The focus of those who had been confused since, was suddenly seized by the arrival of a group of guard evolvers who were trying to find the man they had just helped.
"Wah-wah, look. It turns out that the evolvers who have been running away are hiding here" said Joe who stepped in to lead his friends behind.
Everyone's reflexes rise from their sitting position. Staring at Joe with a look of surprise and panic when the man suddenly appeared and surprised them.
"It turns out you're here too? I and my friends never found you." Joe turned to Elvina, William and Amanda who were standing near Dorothy.
Dorothy looked silently at Joe without a word. His eyes, barely even blinking.
