Author Note: I am really sorry to for the delay. Anyways here is Chapter two finally. Again I like to hear reviews mean or not. I do appreciate all those who reviewed. Thank you. I am glad to hear that I have some fans for this story. At first I was not sure if this would catch interest but I guess it caught some interest. I am glad and will keep on going with this story. However I do not know who I should pair Sam with. Jack or Ralph. Guess I will see where I feel like taking it hmm. State your opinion I will take them into consideration.
This is not my story. William Golding created the story and I'm just writing a fan fiction about it. The characters are not mine except for Samantha (Sam). I'm not that creative to write a whole novel on my own. Well not yet at least. The credit of the book, Lord of the Flies all goes to William Golding. A wonderful book if I do say so myself.
Chapter TwoMountain Blaze
The breeze was picking up but was nice against those stranded on the island. It was hot here and the children had figured that out quickly. Simon, Ralph and Jack were still exploring the island and had yet to return. The young children were either seeking out shelter with the trees or playing in the shallow end of the water where it was still safe. Not many of them could swim so it was best to keep them where they could stand. Sam was sitting on the beach watching the young children playing in the water. She was making sure they were alright. Someone had to watch over the children after all.
"Sammy!" the little brown haired blue eye called as he limbed over to Sam. The red haired girl looked up towards the little boy named Joseph, who she had helped before finding the group of boys. Sam was not sure about being called 'Sammy' just yet but the young children seemed to come up with that. So far no matter how much Sam protested against it the name the young children gave her stuck.
"What do you want Joseph?" Sam asked as she tilt her head slightly. The little boy smiled as he sat down beside Sam and started to make a sand hill.
"Help me building a sand castle," Joseph said happily as he continued on his work. Sam smiled as she nodded her head. She soon started to pile up some more sand on top of Joseph's hill he started. Piling up the sand Sam started to form walls around the castle or looked more like a little sand hill. It was a few minutes before the sound of something kind of like a trumpet sound could be heard. Sam shot her head up towards the sound knowing exactly what it was.
"It would appear Ralph has returned and is calling another meeting with the conch," Sam stated as her emerald green eyes moved to the small brown haired boy. She smiled as she stood up holding out her hand to walk with the small little boy. Soon the two of them came into view of the meeting place. Sam let go of Joseph's hand as he sat down with some of the other younger boys as Sam sat down on the log at the end with the older children. She glanced towards Ralph who was standing while holding the conch in his hands standing beside Jack.
"We went exploring around this place and it is an island. There is fresh water just a little ways from here. Also there is an mountain in the middle of the island. There are fruit and..." Ralph started.
"Pigs! Nice size pigs too that was can eat. My choir and I will provide these pigs for you so we may have some meat to eat," Jack had interrupted. He clenched his fist around the handle of his knife driving it into the tree he was leaning against to add effect.
"Yes pigs so we can have meat and fruit for other times. There are no others on this island. We are a lone so we will need to fend for ourselves. Take care of ourselves. First thing is first we should build a fire on top of the mountain. If we want to be rescued we should have a signal for boats to see. It should not take long for rescue to come. My father is in the navy and he will surely not allow us to be out here for long time. In till then we will live here and have fun while we are at it. Lets build a large fire that is easy to spot the smoke," Ralph said getting excited. He smiled as he held the conch proudly.
"But we should not build a fire first. We should build shelter. The night before was not bad but we will still need shelter in case it decides to rain," Piggy stated thinking ahead of time. The other boys were already jumping to their feet excited about the idea of the fire. Piggy's voice could not be heard clearly over the excited voices of the other boys.
"Come everyone to the mountain follow me," Ralph shouted setting the conch down on the ground. He soon took off leading the herd of boys through the thick brushes of the small forest. Not wanting to get ran over Sam had moved out of the way quickly to allow the hyper boys move ahead of her. As Sam was about to follow behind the other boys she felt a tug at her skirt. She raised her eyebrow to notice Joseph standing there. She nodded her head knowing what he wanted. She kneeled down to let Joseph climb on her back so she could carry him. He had hurt himself the last time he was in the small forest. His ankle was most likely sprained a bit.
"Come Piggy," Sam stated as she smiled. She noticed the over weight boy following behind them huffing a bit. Sam remembered him stating something about having ashma. Sam never had it herself but she never wanted it. She liked being active without worries of becoming out of breath and have problems breathing. Sam walked just ahead of Piggy with Joseph on her back as they followed behind the other boys up the mountain. Sam was glad this mountain was not a steep on but it still had it difficult spots. With some difficulties they made it to the top of the mountain with the other boys gathering firewood to start a fire.
"How are you going to start the fire?" Sam asked Ralph as she kneeled down to let Joseph off of her back before standing back up. Glancing towards Ralph she could see the look on his face stating he had not thought of that. Just like the rest of the boys he was excited for the moment about starting a large flame to the wood they had quickly collected. Ralph looked around trying to figure out what to do. He soon glanced to Piggy causing the boy to smile.
"Piggy your glasses. We can use your glasses to light the fire," Ralph stated. The red headed boy glanced towards the over weight boy. Jack moved closer to the younger boy quickly grabbing the round glasses from the boy.
"You won't mind us using them will you," Jack hissed at the boy before passing the glasses to Ralph so he could try and start the fire.
"But... But I can not see without my glasses. Please give them back," Piggy stated feeling unsafe without having his glasses on. Sam moved closer to Piggy allowing him to hold onto her arm to have some security while the glasses were used for the fire. Sam knew that only the glasses would work so Piggy would have to corroborate. Ralph held the glasses in the line of the sun causing a small beam of light to land on the dry wood. He blew softly on the wood as some smoke started to appear. Soon orange flames started to appear. The boys gathered around started to cheer as Ralph passed Piggy's glasses to Sam who set them back on Piggy's face so he could see again.
Sam watched the flames that were being quickly fed by the younger boys throwing more and more onto the burning fire. As the flames started to jump higher and spread caused Sam to move back. The flames could be seen dancing in her eyes as it caught the dry grass area causing the whole are to be engulfed in flames in a matter of seconds. Sam's eyes widen noticing Joseph was too close to the flames caused Sam to move quickly. She picked the boy up in her arms before feeling someone grab her arm leading her away quickly. She soon notice that it was Jack who had lead her away from the flames. Sam watched the fearless flames move across the area to run out of places to burn which allowed the group to let the flames die out on their own.
"Where's that small boy? The one with the scar?" Piggy asked as he looked around counting the boys again to make sure everyone was accountable.
"The little boy is gone. He must have gotten too close to the flames... s-see what happens. You need to be careful with these type of things not careless. Now one of us is gone because of you boys not listening to reasoning," Piggy shouted as he faced the group. Anger was written across his face as he starred at everyone. With the fear of the flames and Piggy getting angry caused Joseph to start to whimper. He buried his head closely to Sam's neck as the red haired girl held the boy close in her arms. She rubbed his back trying to calm the little boy down. Not liking Piggy's little outburst and being frustrated caused Jack to step towards Piggy. He shoved the boy a bit as he glared at him.
"Who gave you the right to rant and rave at everyone. This is just as much fault as everyone else," Jake said frustration clearly heard in his voice.
"No this is your fault. I wanted to build shelters but no the boys have to follow Ralph's plan just because it sounded much more enjoyable," Piggy said sounding a little more weak. Jack shoved the boy back again as he glared at the over weight boy.
"Enough you two. What is done happened we should focus on what to do next," Ralph said stepping in between the two. He crossed his arms as he turned to face Jack.
"We should head back and build the shelters and deal with the fire tomorrow. It will be dark before long and we need shelters," Sam stated agreeing with Ralph. She still held Joseph close to her trying to calm the little boy down. Some of the other smaller children were standing close to Sam not liking the stress levels running high with the older children arguing. It took a few seconds before Jack nodded his head agreeing. Ralph nodded and started to lead the way back down the mountain towards the sand beaches. Piggy followed closely behind Ralph as Jack clenched his fists together. He waited a few minutes starring at the fire before walking back tailing the group. Sam walked with the younger boys now carrying Joseph on his back again.
