Chapter 2: Fire on the Mountain

The Fire
September 15

I'm scared. Ralph is losing control of the kids. They are starting to become errant. All he did was mention the word fire and all the boys went crazy. They built one so big and so fast, that before they knew it, it had spread consuming a large part of the island. They wasted a lot of good wood when burnt the island, and they pinched my glasses so they could start it. The boy with the mark on his face died, and I am ashamed I had anything to do with it, unlike the other boys who were capering.

Jack is dangerous and officious. I am suspicious of him and his hunters. I can tell he hates me. The other boys laugh at me and give me no respect. I know I'm bigger then them but that doesn't mean they have to hate me. I think Jack has induced the hunters to try to kill me, after they try to kill Ralph. I hope we get rescued soon, because the boys are starting to feel free. A little too free for my comfort.

Talk Later,
