Surrounding Wall

Chapter 7: Shadows and tall trees
Perspective: Ralph

One day while sitting on the rocks of the beach i looked into the smashing waves as they hit the ground when they came in. My eyes wandered out into the open sea and enjoying the wind and the clam sea. After some time i started to think about the bad has happened and while looking into the sea i all of a sudden pictured a huge wall surrounding the island like a prison. I sagely was thinking heavily about the island and if we were gonna make it or not. I felt trapped like a animal in a cage. As i walked back i saw Simon i sat him down and just started explaining what i felt. H assured me that there still is hope and that i can still have hope in being rescued. I was very happy when we walked off because of the hope we still have in others on this island but was also afraid of some others.
The next morning jack woke me up early to tell me about how if we not do something then the beastie will eat us all and we will die. I agreed and knew we had to do something fast. I grabbed a spear and asked jack if he can teach me the basics of killing a animal. As he taught me the simple rules and felt something strange as if i was being pulled two different ways. I just tryed to ignore my feelings and kept listening to jack. We all went on bravado after that to find the beastie in a chase. As i ran with the boys i had a flash-back on the moment earlier this morning how jack finally confused me in being apart of the hunt. I remember not wanted to join but i knew i felt like i needed to regain myself in the boys so i did anyway. As the moment crept further and further as the brine on our body started to come off i tryed not to pay attention again and just kept on with the boys as they do practice rounds on each other of killing the beastie but not hurting our group.
As i slept around the group i still didnt like the way everything was going. It just felt very weird. The next day me, jack, and roger all went up the mountain but as we got up there we saw a terrifying looking thing with moors around it, large, shadowy form with the shape of a giant ape, making a strange flapping sound in the wind. Horrified, we all run as fast as we could while getting hurt in the rugger ( like gazelles running from lions ) back to the group to tell them what we saw.
