Chapter 12: Cry of the Hunters
Perspective: Jack

Where did he go?

Why does Ralph think that he’s better than me? Why can’t he see that I’m the most powerful boy on the island now? And there’s no one who could stop me. I can’t believe that he would worry for Piggy and Simon. Oh their dead big whoop! He knows that he killed them. He knows that their death is partially his fault. It’s not all my fault why do I have to take the blame? We all know that he helped us kill Simon. We all know that he left Piggy alone blind so that’s why the rock killed him. He should feel sorry for all that he’s done. I love being me it’s so nice and I feel so powerful! Two out of three have been killed. Now there’s only one more left, Ralph.
We hit Sameneric so that they could tell us where Ralph may be hiding. They showed us to every single place possible. Still there was no sign of him. I couldn’t believe him where could he possibly hide on this tiny island? The ululation of the hunters gave us signals of where he wasn’t hiding. Then there was a long grass area. We formed a cordon around it so if he got up we would catch him and do him. We wanted to diddle him into thinking that we were not there and we started rolling boulders down the path so that we would squish him if he was hiding. We couldn’t hind anymore boulders so I decided to set the grass on fire. I decided to give up, maybe he died on his own or committed suicide. I looked at Sameneric to see where we hurt him and they had distended bellies and arms, ouch.
We kept on wondering around and we saw Ralph on the beach, with a grown up! I couldn’t believe that he lived. And why does he have to get his dream come true? Why can’t I? The grown up had a drill and epaulettes on his uniform. I didn’t want to stay here forever so I turned myself in. I never realized how much I missed my home until today. I hope I’ll get back soon…
