Chapter 13: Kicks To The Crotch
((I AM SO SORRY I'M LATE! I've been going through so much this summer. I was sick with mono, everything hurt, and I'm currently fighting with my school on repeating 10th grade english. After Ms. Goldman-Longo left, we got our original teacher, Ms. DiMaggio back, and lemme say, she's not fit to be a teacher. She asked me to read what I had done of this fanfic, and bugged me for weeks about it, and then just "skimmed" through it. After that, she and I were always fighting, and she failed me with a 64, one point away from a passing 65; EVEN THOUGH I PASSED THE FINAL WITH A 98!
Anyway, enjoy this chapter. I need to go search for chapters 14 and 15 so I can get them out asap!))
SIMON'S POV
I must have been hearing things. Because...I could have sworn I heard someone screaming at the top of their lungs. And by the sounds of it, they were in trouble. And the scream I heard could only be matched up to one person on the island...
Alison.
"Ralph...did you hear that?" I asked him, turning to him as he was fixing one of the shelters. He looked up from his work with a confused look on his face.
"No...what are you talking about Simon?" he asked, looking very confused. But then, there was another scream.
"That" I said, pointing my thumb behind me in the direction of the scream. Ralph straightened up and looked back at Piggy. He shrugged his shoulders at him, showing him that he had no idea as well.
"Alright, lets go check it out" he said to us.
I knew where the scream came from. It came from the grotto where Al and I spend our time hanging out. I was trying to figure out what might have happened to make her scream like that. There were no wild animals around there, or anything harmful. And no one knew where it was. Unless...someone had found out about it, or followed her to it. And I knew just the person who would do that sort of thing.
So I started to run. I took off faster than I ever had before. I was never this fast back at the academy. But I need to know...I needed to make sure she was safe.
It's not as if I was in love with her, and needed to protect her. No, that is not what it was. It's just...she understands me more than any of the others. We both have a deep level of thinking, as well as a very open perspective on many topics and ideas. She's my only friend who I can open up to and discuss things on a deep level. I'd be crushed if anything bad happened to her.
I heard Ralph and Piggy start to hurry up as well. It just made me quicken my pace even more. Then, I ran. I ran so fast even Piggy had to start running to catch up. I could hear another scream in the distance and I wanted to know just what was happening, and hopefully stop it.
I kept running faster and faster, trying to make it to the location of the screams. They got louder and soon muffled as I got closer. But soon, I made it, and my eyes widened at the sight.
There was Alison...pinned down in the sand, with Jack looming over her. She had tears in her eyes as she looked up at him, scared and helpless. And as my eyes drifted, I could see that she had gotten injured. There was a bloody mess around her ankle down to her foot. There were more footsteps and soon, Ralph and Piggy were right beside me. And they saw it as well. Ralph acted fast. He ran over there and pulled Jack right off of her. I rushed over to Alison and made sure she was okay.
"What the hell are you doing to her?" Ralph yelled at Jack. Still in full hunter mode, Jack swung his knife at Ralph. Ralph ducked out of the way and rammed Jack in the stomach, making him double over again.
"Get me away from him! HE'S A MONSTER! I DON'T WANT TO BE ANYWHERE NEAR HIM!" Alison yelled as we helped her up. He turned his gaze to her for a moment as he rolled around on the ground.
"Funny, you weren't saying that when you were kissing me before" he spat at her. Alison half-yelled and gave him one more kick to the crotch, making him speachless.
"Lets get out of here. She needs to get cleaned up" Ralph said.
And with that, we left a practically castraited Jack in the sand, rolling around in pain as we brought Alison to safety.
