Dear Diary, its me Ralph. I missed you, I hope you missed me. In the darkness late that night, Simon and I carry a littlun back to the shelter before going to sleep. The boys were sleeping when suddenly military airplanes were battle fiercely above the island. I was surprised that none of the boys see the explosions and flashes in the clouds because the twins Sam and Eric, who were supposed to watch the signal fire, have fallen asleep.
Sam and Eric had awaken to tend the fire and make the flames brighter. In the flickering firelight, they see the twisted form of the dead parachutist and mistake the shadowy image for the figure of
the dreaded beast. I was sleeping when they came rushing back to tell me what they saw.
So the group climbs the hill, and Jack and I feel our old bond coming back. Then again the boys began to play games. Messing with rocks and pushing them into the sea. I get angry and remind them that they are looking for the beast. The other boys, lost in whimsical plans to build a fort and do other things on the new hill, are displeased by my commands but grudgingly obey.
