LOTF: Chapter 7

Chapter Title: Shadows and Tall Trees
Perspective: Jack
Wow I can't believe I said that
Today first of all we're looking for the pig run. Then Roger shouts that he found something. I looked at what it was and it was pig droppings that were still steaming. Wow was I excited. Then just in case Ralph was going to ask something I say we need meat even if were hunting something else. He agrees with me that we do need meat so he let us hunt.
While we were walking I guess Ralph was day dreaming for a while and that the other boys did all they can to not step on pig doo. Its like they flung themselves. Then I guess the daydreamer finally got out of his dream, found a boar in the bushes and threw his wooden stick at its snout he wasn't even thinking of catching it his actions were only bravado. I also heard it squeal. It definitely got angry and started to attack us. Everyone started to run and hide from it. Then Ralph was so happy that he hit the boar. I told him that he got away. Then we say why didn't you grab the boar. That boar would have been so much meat. I find that I have a wound that the boar gave me with its tusks. Simon said I should suck the wound sagely so I did. Then he reenacts the way he threw the stick with Robert being the boar. We all got carried away and I decide to make a ring. Guess we all started to hurt him a little but we didn't notice. We chanted the words we chanted when I killed a pig. “Kill the pig! Cut his throat! Kill the pig! Bash him in!” Ralph says after the game that was badly hurt playing rugger once.
Back to what happened, we were all walking to the mountain. Maurice suggests we should go back to Piggy before its dark, Ralph suggests that we should start the fire again. But I pointed out that we don't have Piggy's specs. After a little thinking Ralph suggests we should go back now. I knew it would have taken hours. I mocked him and said “We mustn't let anything happen to Piggy, must we?” Now we had to keep going so we're just going to let one person go back and tell Piggy that we'll be back after dark. Ralph asks me if I went to castle rock before. I told him I did and he asks me what I found. I say I found a pig-run that went on for miles. He thinks the pig run should end up somewhere there. So we just keep going until we find the pig run.
Now we were going up this mountain. I was scared a little but I tried not to show that. I say that I'm going up the mountain to look for the beast now. Wow I can't believe I said that. So now I go on with my steps going side by side. Since It was only me and Ralph going Ralph suggest that its silly for only two to go. He said if we find anything two won't be enough. So Roger volunteers to be our third. We keep going and I see something on top. Roger thinks it a frog and I say It can't be a frog if I saw it bulged. Ralph was ahead was just looking up ahead like he was windy. I whisper into his ear, “Scared?” Sometimes teasing people can be a great motivator. We all see something at the top now. In front of us a couple yards away there was this hump. We knew something was there sleeping maybe. We were walking to it. It didn't hear us walking like it was impervious. Then it moved its head. It was just the three of us and that thing.
