LOTF #2

Chapter 2: The Mountain Fire.

Jack's Journal

I don't think that Ralph really has want it takes to be the leader of us. We had another meeting and I had to keep reminding him of what he needed to tell everyone. I was the only person who suggested a good idea. The idea of making the fire on the mountain. The only person that thought that it wasn't the best idea was that Piggy. Oh he makes me so mad! He is they most annoying person in our group. All he cares about is making his stupid shelter. So when I said that we should build the fire, of course he was the only to oppose the idea. He is so errant!

My fellow people of the meeting and I walked down the beach to find a huge pile of wood. Most of it was so rotten that when it was moved it crumpled into a thousand little pieces. We did find some great pieces of wood though. We then simply carried the wood up to the highest point on the mountain. We made a giant pile of wood for everyone to see. The only problem was that no one knew how to light it. Everyone throw out suggests but then good ole piggy came up the mountain, shouting at us. Then the idea came, use his glasses to light the fire. I toke the glasses from his and started the fire. All that dumb little piggy was saying "You pinch my specks" Of course no one listened to him. The fire awaked the sky as it soared up over of head. We all ran around capering in our success, everyone was in true ebullience. It quickly died down though, along with the fire. I told everyone to go get green branches, but everyone was to distracted by little piggy. He was yelling at everyone, telling us how silly it was to make this fire, that we should have made the shelter. Ralph and I simply told him that this was the right thing to do. Then lifts his voice in recrimination, telling us how HE has the conch so no on else should say anything. He then tells us how horrible leaders we are. Me a horrible leader, please.

Chapter 1: The Island 

Simon's Journal

The trail never seemed to end as we trotted up the Mountain. Jack lead the way looking determined to find whatever he was looking for. As we were about half way up the mountain, a trumpet-like sound filled the air. We all stopped in confusion. What could that be? We all asked in our heads. "It's a plane," yelled James. "No, a monster." whispered Roger. "Well whatever it is, we are going to find it." said Jack. He started down the mountain, while Roger slowly followed him. the rest of us stood still. We all slowly followed Jack, I was the last to follow. 

The sound of the trumpet blared twice more before we reach the beach full of children. We all noticed that the trumpet sound, was really just a big shell. Jack ordered us into our lines, as he talked to the boy with the shell, the heat cam over me. I have never felt anything like it. I started filling dizzy, as if someone was spinning me a million times a minutes. It didn't help that we all had our black choir cloaks with the hambone frill up to our necks. I then suddenly fainted onto James. I awake over on a log shaded up tree fronds, sitting next to me was twins, with hair of tow. I looked around the beach to see a forest, full of efflorescence flowers. I then heard the other boys talking about a vote for the leader of our bunch. It was between Jack and the boy with the shell, Ralph. "Who wants Jack for leader?" My fellow choir members and I all raised our hands in unison. When asked if we wanted Ralph for our leader, everyone else raised their hands. When they saw how many more people voted for Ralph them all snigger's, they knew they have won. Sadly Jack lost, which now means that he will be taking his anger out on us. Ralph then told us that three of us should go around this island, make sure that it was an island. He chose Jack as his second person, and looked around at the faces of the other boys for his third. Every boy looked back up at Ralph with hope, wanting so badly to be his third and finally choice. Then he made his call, me. I stood up slowly, taking in the fact that I was going with them. To look around the island not knowing what lays ahead. 

We started up the me mountain that we did before, but this time we made it to the top. There we stood up high, looking at every direction, water on every side of the island. We stood there for a good minutes, just taking in everything that we were seeing. Then we see the rock. A rock about the size of a small car. Ralph then looks at Jack then me, with a small smile. We all knew what he was thinking, and we were to think that. "1 2 3 go!" yelled Ralph. We pushed and pushed again. It toke one more push to finally get the rock rolling down the hill. It rolled and it didn't stop for anything. It landed on the bottom of the mountain with a thud. We stood there with pride of what we did. I finally felt like I belonged with the crowd, up to that mountain. I was always the shy one that no one every talked to. Now I felt like with these people I could belong, and no one could take that from me.
