A.N yes I know that I said that I would not write any more on the topic but
inspiration does as it does. That and I just saw apocalypse now and the
idea was just waiting for an outburst.
Jack looked out at the circle; all was in readiness for the sacrifice to the beast. He slowly got up from his rock and picked up the spear readiness with the blood of past sacrifices. As he looked at the other side of the rock. He saw two Skulls siting there, his mind drifted back, back, and back when the bones had faces.
With those memories came the dreams, the dreams of the shadow. The creature looming in his mind, the ominous blackness that engulfed him like the discarded cloak that he once wore, oh so long ago. And within that blackness came light, came truth and knowledge let the weak starve and die; only the strong survive. It became his mission to hunt those who cannot or will not hunt; first it was Simon, then Ralf, then that annoying blob called Piggy. It was from piggy that he learned of the Food. The white stuff found on pigs was on Piggy, he remembered sticking Piggys head on a pike and then feasting then and they're on the carcass of the annoying fiend. After the bones had been picked clean, he had order that the power of the beast damn all the bones and no one touched them ever
After that, no one had questioned jack, ever. Else he was hunted and killed for food. One, a mediun was found with such heresy and would soon be sacrificed. He took the bracelet of green leaves and put it on his skeletal arm and walked to the circle.
The troop of hunters had returned with the successful capture of the boy, he was almost as thin as jack was except for the powerful leg muscles, looking at them made Jacks mouth water at the sight. He came kicking and screaming into the circle. As he was placed at the center and his hands tied, jack took the red spear which was called the bloodspear and entered the circle.
As Jack rose the bloodspear, the chanting grew louder
"Kill beast, kill beast, kill beast"
Rising into a crescendo at the full height of the spear. No mercy was the only thing on Jacks mind and then he plunged the spear into the neck of the mediun he felt the ecstasy of seeing the blood flow. Out of the corner of his eye he could see the shade nod its approval.
"Us" said Jack, "US our wise
There rose a strangled cheer from the circle.
"Us are great, us our wise, us hunters"
The circle was silent as death,
"Eat" said jack desperately pointing to the corps
"No" said one of the circle, "hunt easy, hunt something new."
"Hunt what." Said Jack, "only us here"
The boy thought about for a second,
"Hunt you."
With that statement, t he circle began to ready their spears and began to prepare
"No hunt me"
"Yes, mediuns easy, pigs easy, you different." Said the child, " you run now"
"NO!" Yelled jack taking out his small dagger that he kept from all those years ago, " I got knife, I got conch. I chief."
One of the biguns stepped to aid his younger comrade in defiance, "like Ralph was?"
Jack only stood in silence, then the biggun spoke again. " I yell and you run. Ok jack"
Jack simply stood their bloodspear in hand. Then the bigun yelled at the top of his lungs and Jack suddenly bolted into the foliage. With a whooping yell, the rest of the party followed him into the forest.
