His Queen-Lord Of The Flies JackxY/NxRalph

chapter 6; bonfire!!

 JACKS POV!!! 

After the assembly Ralph made earlier, I decided to go hunting with the boys. We didn't see any pigs, so I decided to take my anger out on a squirrel. I used my spear and stabbed it in the back. The boys cheered for a minute and then took it back to camp to cook. I stayed in the forest and began wandering around. I decided to stop walking and take a break. I assumed I had been walking for an hour or so, and the sun was still shining- so the bonfire wasn't for another hour or so. I cant belive Ralph would put me in a cage like dog!  There is no way I'm letting him controll me like that. I could run away?! Im a better surviver than all of those boys. Of course I would take some supplies with me and Roger. And Y/N. Oh but would she go with us? I cant just kidnapp her- right? No, ofcourse not. Then she'd never love me. But i want her love. I need it. Maybe i can run away with Roger and come back for her? ...

YN pov: THE BONFIRE

Jack was nowhere to be found. The bonfire was about to start and all the boys were anxiously awaiting his arrival. Especially Ralph. This afternoon he had calmed down and rested on the beach for a little. Now, the fire glowed in the dark and a burnt squirell rested on a log with some other fruits. Boys were spread out everywhere- dancing and cheering. 

"Welcome to the bonfire everyone!" Ralph spoke. "Now before we begin, does anyone know where Merridew is?".  He gave me a look, as if he assumed I knew where Jack was. I shook my head and shrugged. Then, one of the hunters spoke up, "He stayed in the forest after the hunt. He hasnt come back since". Why hadn't he come back? Was he ok? Ralph spoke again, "Fine. We are goin-" and out stepped Jack from the forest. "Look who it is- the prisoner. Your late". Ralph was clearly annoyed. Ever since we arriaved on the island Ralph has gotten more and more power hungry. The boys used to look up to him as an older brother, but nows hes just a ruler to them. He cares, but its hard to see it sometimes.

Jack slowely wondered over to the cage. It made him look big. Ralph opened the door and we all watched as Jack crawled inside. He sat criss cross apple sauce with about 2 or 3 inches left  above his head. He looked miserable already. "Let the bonfire comence!" Ralph shouted. Most of the boys cheered while me and Simon looked at eachother. Simon was basically the most sain person left here so I trusted him a lot. I could see in his eyes that he thought this was a little much. But i was interupted when Ralph came over and asked me to dance. The boys were chanting and daning around the fire while Jack sat a few feet away in his cage. I began to dance with everyone, although i didn't enjoy it very much. After about an hour or so we all walked back to camp. Leaving Jack alone in the dark. His blue eyes met mine as I carried a sleeping boy down the hill. Only losing eyecontact when I was to far away. Ralph seemed to notice as he put his arm around me and gave me a tired, reassuring smile. The bonfire made him less anry at Jack and the world itself. When I reached my hut I couldnt sleep. It was midnight and very dark. I said goodnight to everyone and laid down. My mind kept traveling to Jack. I needed to see him. But what would Ralph say? It didnt matter. I got up and grabbed the torch nex to my bed. So there I was, sneeking out of my hut to see Mr. Merridew. 

A/N!
