Chapter 8 gift for the darkness

Pigs
I can’t stand Ralph anymore, I quit. Hes not some prefect or something I won’t keep on being his slave. I've spent too long following his orders and abiding his rules. This is seriously pissing me off, I thought as I walked forward to the platform. I was so nervous I had never done anything like this before and no amount of training would have prepared me for this. “I’m leaving” I said, opposition rang clear in my voice. I could hear the gasps around the circle. I wiped my dirty palms on my shorts and looked around. Everyone stared at me with blank faces of disbelief and horror.
Had I done something wrong? “Everyone who’s with me stand up” no one stood. The silence was defining. Anger streaked though me, hot tears stung my eyes as I glared at everyone. “Fine” is said. I was glad my voice didn’t shake. I would get them back, I would.
I ran faster than id ever ran. I knew before I started that they would not try to stop me. Why would they? They all hated me. They hated me from the beginning. They didn’t understand. Growing up in England my home life had been a living hell. I was glad to be on this island. Glad to finally be free. Killing was my way of getting back at my family for all of those years. I sat huddled against a rock, waiting, waiting. Would they ever come? Footsteps in the distance, Hushed voices. Was that them. “jack” some one called out. Robert? One of the twins? I couldn’t tell. I stood up. Letting my hair fall in my face so that they couldn’t see my blood shot eyes. “hey jack were sorry about back there” Robert said. “its just we were so surprised that we didn’t know what to do” “but were here now” “ and we want to be with you”. “first your going to start by calling my chief” I said in a hard cold voice. They looked at each other then decided. “yes chief” Good. They were obeying me. My plan was working.
A couple hours later more people came and we set up a camp, “lets go hunt” I said. Cheers echoed around me. We started running. We knew that the pigs hid on the top of the mountain in the shade in the afternoon so that’s were we heeded south along the burnt area making sure to leave no trail behind us. Then I heard a sound. I signaled them to he quiet and to move slowly. Had we found something? I walked forward and peered stealthily around the fronts. The biggest sow I had ever seen lay in the cool shade. More than 10 piglets nestled against her chest. A killing instinct took over me and pushed any remorse for killing a mother out of my head. the taboo was suddenly gone I signaled to spread out and get ready for attack. Then I moved forward fast. She jumped up scattering her piglets on to the hard rock. Spears jabbed at her stomach her neck her head. the demoniac crime we committed did not sink in.Blood, masses of blood every where and then she lay still. Her eyes staring of into space. We would have food tonight. After that we pounced her letting her hot guts lay beside her. some animal would eat them, what did i care.

Perspective: Simon
the hunt
We have just left camp and we are heading towards the mountains to find and kill the beast. I am scared, im not sure if i want to be here. The feeling of panic and fear is strong in the air. Why did i do this in the first place. I should have stayed with piggy and the lil'uns. jack thinks he can kill the beast.
Hah, the beast is not something you can kill. Its something we created. Ralph feels fear but will not subdue to it. He will not admit to jack that he is scared.
Jack is scared though. I bet somewhere in the farthest corner of his mind there is that doubt. Can he really do it, can he really kill the beat. It is night time now. I want to be alone. The a chance to escape. I will cross the island alone. In the dark. With no moon to guide me. It is ok though, i can make it though. I will make it through.

Chapter 6: beast from air
perspective: piggy
beastie
I dont belive that there is such thing as a bestie.Ever scince i was little i was raised not belliving in that sourt of stuff. But today was different. I could see the fear on there faces as they told us of how they had seen the beastie. Is it real. Jack was waxy after they told us. He doesnt believe in it ither.
When is this interminable talk of a beastie going to end. Its not real. I can understand how some lil'ons can believe that but Simon. I cant understand. And i remember him saying something about the beastie being human? What no that's not possible. Jack had been acting mutinously lately. He is so embroiled in this conflict that he has forgotten his duty to the tribe. he is hunter, he need food. Today jack Ralph and some other hunters left to try to kill the beastie. I hope they survive and are fine. I don't mind if something happens to jack though. I wish he would leave this island. I hate it here.

Chapter 5: beast from water
perspective: Simon
Fear
Fear, its not something you can describe but its something that most people feel. I know everyone felt fear today at the meeting. Fear for Ralph, fear of the beastie and most of all fear of each other. Fear isn't an incantation, its something you bring on your self. Fear is the sound you cant explain the feeling of cold that you cant describe.
The sounds of children's lamentation still scares me. To hear that much pain put in one sound,i cant describe it. I feel so bad for them. They are still young and before now unafraid and curios. Now they know how cruel human beings can truly be. The eggigy of fear was almost overwhelming today. The ludicrous behavior of jack was unacceptable. The jeering way he treated piggy was horrible. I couldn't stand it. But that is not the point. This needs to stop it needs to end. I cant keep living in a world without rules without decorum.

Chapter 4: Painted Faces and Long Hair
Perspective: Jack
Rule breakers
So what. The fire went out. It was a stupid plan to begin with. Whatever . I don’t care
I killed a pig. I felt the awesome power. I killed an animal, I always knew I could do it.
Even though some people may have doubted me I did it. I killed something I enforced my will over it. Everyone is always so belligerent towards me I don’t get it, What did I do to them.
It doesn’t matter though. All of these peoples impalpable behavior is getting on my nerves. They think there so cool, but they cant kill anything. After I killed the pig I can still see the gouts of blood just poring from its neck. Blood sickens me. I will not tell anyone though. I don’t want them to think im a sissy.
I know many people think im a malevolent person. But that’s just a blatant way of saying it. I am much more deep than that. No one knows the true me.

Chapter 3: Huts on the Beach
Perceptive: Ralph
Pigs pigs pigs
Pigs that’s all anyone talks about. Yes it would be nice to get some meat but Jack is getting on my nerves. That’s all he does 24-7. And no one is doing anything; Simon is the only one helping at all. I don’t want to be leader. But I don’t want Jack to be leader ether. Jack is so rapt in his pig compulsion that he is forgetting our main goal.
To get of this island. Even with all these vicissitudes I am still whiling to do what ever it takes to free our selves of this place. Some times Simon is so inscrutable, he’s so smart and how he talks it’s sometime hard to understand. I can understand how the lil’uns are scared. Sometimes it is so opaque in the mornings and with al those tendrils everywhere I can understand were they are coming from.
I really hope we get of this island soon. That’s all I can think about. As long as I can survive on fruit until someone saves us that’s what im going to do. Some mean would be nice though……..

Chapter 1: fire on the mountain
Perspective: piggy
Fire
Fire, It’s so dangerous so unpredictable. Who could have known? Those poor kids. Now they are dead it my fault. No its Jack’s fault he’s just so spiteful and horrible and errant. How can no one else see it? I can see how he induced all those people to follow him. He will lead them to there deaths. I hate him.
Ralph is another whole story. He’s so confident but I was the one who met him first. He cares only for himself. I am still resentful of how he told everyone about piggy, how could he. And I though this would be a beginning. I was dead wrong.
That fire will eventually burn down the whole forest. I cant believe I saw them capering In the trees. They killed countless children. But no one will listen to me. “shut up” that’s all they ever say. That’s all anyone says. Il change there minds. Il show them what kind of person I actually am. I hope things on this god forsaken island get better or I don’t know what will become of us.

Chapter 1: Sound of the Shell
Perspective: Jack
New Island
Ever since I've been stuck on this island I've loved it. Having no one to boss me around nothing to do. Personally I think its great I hate how some stupid kids are crying and whining about it they don't appreciate what they have, I'm not going to help them. I wont be the one to tuck them in and tell them everything it all right. Because its not.
There is something off about this island. But I cant put my finger on it, today we were hunting and i saw that piglet and i couldn't do it. I couldn't kill it, I cant take somethings life....... But I'm going to have to forget that and survive. If killing is what it takes than so be it. I take care of myself as for everyone else, well they can fend for them selves.
Ugh and I hate it everyone is like Ralph!! Ralph!! He's not even that great. I don't see anything in him. Wow so he has a shell, SO WHAT! he didn't even find it. That fat kid piggy did. He's not so great he's going to get himself killed taking care of all those little kids. I should be the leader I can take care of myself.
