Chapter 13 Haileigh Smith
The Boys who Survived
The yelling goes down from when the boys were chasing Ralph, the boys all walk onto the ship. They all look around picking out blue cushioned seats on the ship. The seats were covered in a soft cushion, that when you sit down it had a n ice feeling on your bum, instead of sitting on hard rock. Ralph looks around the to find a bed found to the back of the ship. He climbed up onto the bunk and rests his head, trying to catch his breath from the dreadful chase. He lays there and is his heart pumps faster. Ralph's sits up on the bed, and looks out the window through the blue seas, that glitters from the suns reflection. The window which looks as if it was hooked up on to the wall like a picture frame. Ralph thought to himself while all the other boys were wondering around the ship.
Ralph says, “What if Piggy could come home? What if Simon?”
He stared out to the sea and wondered if he could ever come home to his family, or to nobody because of the war. Ralph rests his head on the bed and stares to the ceiling.
Eric says, “Sam look!”
Eric bounced on the bed and said “It's bouncy!”
Sam jumped on the bed and started laughing.
The Naval Officer said, “Everyone we are leaving the island now.”
Everyone ignored him and had their fun. Jack sat in a chair and looked relax, but he was frustrated.
Jack whispered under his breath, “I should of stayed at the island, I would've been chief. Now I am just plain Jack, no ruler, no nothing.”
Jack turns to Maurice and says, “Hey Maurice can we talk? I need someone to talk to , so I don't look like an idiot talking to myself.
Maurice says, “Sure.”
Jack says, “I feel so different, like stress has released from my soldiers. I feel more civilized I guess. I mean now that I think about, I feel like some savage.”
Maurice says, “Me too, well kind of.”
Jack says, “I like being leader though.”
Maurice says, “Hmmmm.”
Maurice smiles and looks toward to Sam n Eric jumping on the beds. Jack follows Maurice's eyes and his eyes lead to Sam n Eric.
Jack says, “Hey, lets go do what Sam n Eric are doing.”
They both get up and find a bed next to Sam n Eric and start to jump up and down.
Soon later after a long time of jumping the boys and all get tired and start to fall asleep, some play around with string on there chair or their long hair. They boys slept, and the officer patroled the boat, making sure everything is working fine and determined to get the kids homes safe. He walked into the room, all the boys are sleeping, some boys drooling on the soft cushiony pellows and some looking like they are having good dreams. The officer got back to leaving the boat to where he saw land. Soon after he hit land and went to the side of the boat and he and some of his men dropped the heavy anchor on to the bottom of the ocean floor. He walked into the room where the boys slept and started to wake the boy closest to the door and soon after they all arose to their dreams. The officer walked back onto the deck of the boat , you could hear the thump of him walking on the hallow floor.
Sam n Eric run to Ralph's bed and yell. “Ralph Ralph, wake up!”
To voices speak at once.
Sam n Eric say, “ Ralph we can go home now.”
The boys on the ship jump up and down waiting to get home to see their families.
Ralph wakes up from the loud screams of happiness, and they were home. The world I have been waiting to say for so long.
Ralph says, “Home.”
Ralph walks up to the hollow deck, the warmth of the sun shining on to him.
They all walk off the boat an finally yell out, “Home at last!”
