Ch.7

Dear Diary,

 

                The boys are still out hunting, and the littluns and I are back at the beach. We have been waiting all day, they should've be back by then. It's been hours, and they still weren't back. I wondered if something had happened to them. I thought that maybe the beastie got them. The littluns were all worried.

 

                I figured that if the boys had actually ran into the beast, then we would probably hear them yell. Since we heard nobody yelling, we assumed that they couldn’t have ran into the beastie. The littluns and I remained worried anyway. It would be extremely difficult to get off of the island without Ralph, Jack, Simon, and the other boys. It would be especially hard since the littluns do no work.

 

                Later on in the day, I heard a noise in the trees. I wondered if it was the beastie. I was hoping that it would be the boys returning from hunting. The noise was getting louder,  it seemed that whatever was approaching was getting closer to the beach. All of a sudden, Simon came out of the jungle. He told me that the hunters wouldn’t be back until later. That meant that I would have to stay with the littluns for a while. I wasn’t so excited about that, but I was happy that they were  okay.
