I open my eyes vaguely, like that time when we first landed
on this island. Samneric are shaking me like if I were a bag of potatoes. Gosh,
they can’t even let the chief sleep awhile. They’re screaming like insane
little boys and I have no other option than to wake up and listen to what
they’ve got to say. Oh no! Here they come again with their batty comments. Now they say that they saw the beast at the
top of the mountain when they were guarding the fire. So... there is a beast? With wings, teeth and claws?
I don’t know about the littleuns but Samneric are no liars, I actually believe
them. The good thing is that it’s daylight and there’s nothing to worry about,
for now.
Jack has decided we should all go hunting and catch that
beast that is scaring the boys. It’s the first time I’ll go hunting with
them and I have to admit I am kind of excited. I feel the adrenaline and the
power of being able to hunt something down, yet remember I’m no savage; I will
not dare to paint my face and behave like an animal. Jack can do that, but I
can’t. I have to stay civilized but I know that since I’m chief, my duty is to look
for the beast and find it. Let's go kill what's frightening us!
