Blog 10 - Piggy's Death

We couldn't believe what the savages had done. They basically made him blind and helpless, all they think about is themselves. Piggy is very worried now, we hope everything turns out alright. If the savages did a cruel thing like this, who knows what other kind of things they might do. Chills ran down our backs, we hope we can get off this island soon. For the rest of the night we couldn't sleep out of fear of the savages and the beast, and also to comfort Piggy.
Our next new problem was how we were going to keep a signal fire going. There our only really three of us who can tend to the fire, Ralph and us. There is no way we will be able to keep it going, we may never be rescued. Before we can even tend the fire again, we have to start a new fire, but we can't without Piggy's glasses. What are we going to do? I guess we are going to have to try to get Piggy's specs back, it's our only chance of being rescued and having Piggy see again. We all talked and agreed we were going to go try and get Piggy's glasses back. Ralph, Piggy, and us cleaned up and set off along the beach. We brought our spears along just in case we needed them for defense. We dragged our spears along the ground so Piggy could follow them with his blurred vision. We were pretty frightened, we didn't know how Jack would react, he's completely lost his mind.
We passed where we had dance yesterday night, trying not to remember the horrible crime we committed yesterday. We said we would never speak of that incident again. We passed Simon's death area in silence.
Jack and his tribe were not there so went to Castle Rock to search for them. As we walked to Castle Rock we started to see smoke, and knew it must be the savages. We walked behind Ralph and Piggy as we got closer. Piggy was getting worried because he couldn't see what was happening. Ralph asked for the conch from Piggy and then was going to go ahead when Roger showed up. He was acting silly, as if he was a guard who didn't know any of us. Ralph was annoyed at this and blew into the conch. Savages appeared and blocked the way to the entrance. Ralph said he was calling a meeting, after all, he still was chief. Then out of nowhere, Roger started throwing rocks at us, he missed, thank goodness. Then Ralph asked where Jack was, the savages said he was out hunting. Then Ralph said he came to get the specs. Jack came back in a mask from his hunt from behind us, and we bolted behind Ralph, scared of getting hurt by Jack.
Jack and Ralph started getting in a fight about the specs. Ralph called Jack a thief for taking Piggy's glasses, this angered Jack and he stabbed Ralph in the chest. We were scared for him, we didn't know if he would be okay. Ralph took out the spear and swung it at Jack's ear. The kept fighting, using their spears as sabers. Then Piggy reminded Ralph that they came for his specs and because of the signal fire. He stopped fighting and told everyone that everyone needs to help keep the signal fire going, they have no other way of being rescued. Then Jack told us to move back, we were puzzled over if we should listen and the Jack said, "grab them!" We were so scared and confused we couldn't even talk, no words would come out of our mouths. Then the brutal savages took our spears and tied us up. We were helpless. Jack seemed to enjoy our pain, and gave and evil cackle. We were worried he might try to kill us. We didn't know what to do. "Someone save us!!!" we screamed. "We don't want to die like this!"Ralph screamed at Jack, "You bloody bloody thief! You're a beast!" They both charged at each other. They started fighting again, but Piggy interrupted them. He said things we all needed to hear, about being rescued, to keep their civilization. Roger didn't care what Piggy had to say, he was trying to throw rocks at him. Piggy still held the conch with pride as he talked. Then we looked over at Roger and he had all of his weight on the lever. A great boulder tumbled down the hill and struck Piggy from chin to knee. The conch shattered into a thousand pieces. Piggy flew forty feet and landed on a flat red rock in the see. It was one of the most gruesome things we had ever seen. Piggy's head cracked open and his brain poured out with unknown liquid mixed with blood, his legs and arms twitched a bit. Then the water washed over him and he was gone.
Then Jack threatened all of us saying that that was what was going to happen to us. Then he attacked Ralph, then the boys swarmed around him and he ran before they got to him. He left us alone with the savages. Jack said we had to join his tribe, we refused. Jack left us to be punished by Roger. Tears started trickling down our eyes, we were terrified. We looked out where Piggy landed and thought to ourselves, "We're next."
