Lord of the Flies ~ Fanfiction
Tainted Rainbow
Hey! Well, I've read Lord of the Flies, probably a few too many times for a still-just-about-a-kid (hehehe, we're very impressionable y'know) aaaand anyway, I was thinking, what the hell would've happened if it were a) slightly more modern and b) if it were GIRLS..Going to a girls school, I can honestly say that big girls can be every bit as vicious as little boys, almost more so. They're far more likely to rally support and groups, to plot against each other. And then you've got girls social status. Some girls LIVE to be popular, they gain support, they're sweet to anyone they think could help them, and pure evil to anyone they think will oppose them. And you get some girls, ok, its rarer, but it does happen, some girls that aren't obsessed with popularity and status. They don't give a toss, as long as they've got their friends, their REAL friends. They don't care what other people think, they're happy being themselves. And I was thinking, what on earth would happen if you forced those two communities together? On an island. BINGO. A Fanfiction was born.I have no idea how they got on the damn island, they're just there, ok? How about we have them dumped by a plane, it was a good enough idea the first time round.

Chapter 1 ~ Through the storm
Through the pitch black of the dark night and shrouding trees, shouts began to rise above the sound of rain.
"Oh my God!"
"What's happened?"
"There's been a crash!"
"Where are we?"
A flash of lightning suddenly showed a tangled mass of trees and wrecked metal, and swarms of scared and confused faces. Several people screamed, but it was deafened by the thunder that almost shook the ground.
"The storm's right above us!"
"Get away from the plane! It'll attract the lightning!"
"Get away from the plane!"
"Get away from the trees!"
The message spread like wildfire. Here was some help, some knowledge in the dark, and they all clung to it. Another flash of lightning showed a gap in the trees of the forest, and all the girls scrambled towards it.
A scream sounded above the thunder
"Oh my God! There's a body here!"
"Someone died in the crash!"
"There's a dead person by the plane!"
"I'm not dead! Get off me!"
"There's a dead body by the plane!"
"Get away from the plane!"
Three girls staggered out onto the beach, and into a group of seaweed covered rocks.
"Hey! HEY! There's a beach here, and some rocks!"
"Its safer here!"
"Lilly, is that you?"
"Yeah, who- Kitty! Where's Til-"
Yet another thunderclap drowned her words. Screams were still coming from the forest. The girls looked round frantically - it wasn't so dark out in the open, and they could see the faint outlines of each other.
"Sam?"
"Yeah, where's everyone else?"
"They're still in the forest place."
"Its not safe in there, they could be hit by -"
Lightning flashed yet again. More screams and yells came from the forest, some closer, some further away.
"We need to keep together."
"We need to get everybody down here - HEY! YOU GUYS!!"
"Kitty, how loud are you?!"
"Shut up, its important. HEY! OVER HERE! ITS SAFER DOWN ON THE BEACH!
"COME DOWN TO THE ROCKS!"
Answering yells came from the forest.
"Where are you?"
"I can't see a thing!"
"Where is everybody?"
Kitty took a deep breath
"We're DOWN ON THE BEACH! HEAD TOWARDS THE CLEARING BY THE PLANE! IT TAKES YOU DOWN BY THE- Eh?! What the hell-?"
"Kitty? Its only us!"
Kitty, Sam and Lilly peered through the gloom.
"Tilly? Angela?"
"And Lara."
"Where's everyone else?"
"We don't- who's that?"
"I'm Kathy, who, what, what's going on?"
"Kathy? Well, stay here, its safer here."
"What about that lot back there?"
"We're trying to get them over here. Keep yelling."
"HEY!"
"OVER HERE!"
"CAN YOU HEAR US?"
Another flash of lightning showed a large group of girls standing uncertainly by the edge of the forest.
"HEY! WE'RE OVER HERE!"
"Where? Who?"
"Come over here, its safer!"
Suddenly the girls were bumping into each other, scrambling over the rocks.
"Who's that?"
"Danniella."
"Who?"
"Get off me! I'm Jennifer, who the hell ar-" She stopped as she recognised who she was talking to.
"You lot? You're the ones who called us down here?"
"What do you mean by that?" Angela had pushed past Kitty.
A massive thunderclap made them all jump.
"Look, you lot, now is not the time." Said Tilly, standing between them. She was quite a big taller than all three, and it kept them quiet. "We've just been dumped in the middle of a storm, so bloody well shut up and calm down."
"I'd like to see you make me," snarled Jennifer, but turned back to her group of friends.
Lara managed to make herself heard over the noise of the rain and the scared chatter of the girls.
"Is everyone here?"
"Is anyone still left in the forest?"
"HEY! IS ANYONE ELSE STILL OUT THERE?"
Almost in answer, a large group of girls crashed into the gathered mass.
"Did you see anyone else out there?"
"No, I think we're the last. We went the other way and we were yelling and yelling.."
"We thought we were lost!"
"We ARE lost, we could be in the middle of nowhere."
"Does anyone know where we are?"
The silence was only broken by the rain.

Hmm. Well, that's pretty much Lord of the Flies anyway, isn't it? But you wait 'til daylight.then it's gonna get interesting.
