STUCK WITH THE ASTHMA-

Today Sam and Eric, the twins, were keeping watch on the fire when they came shouting down the mountain, "Wake up! Ralph! Wake up!" Of course Ralph just looks at them like they've just ruined him from a long awaited sleep that probably felt interminable. I overheard part of the conversation while simultaniously being half conscious. "We saw it!" They exclaimed. "The beastie! We saw it!". The way they yelled it sounded as though they were waxy but they weren't. They were just trying to say too many things at once. "Piggy! Piggiy!" I heard Ralph call my name. I responded without my body telling it too when he told me to spread the word to everyone that we were having a meeting. In a matter of minutes everyone gathered for our meeting but this time Jack and Ralph were the ones talking. They asked Eric and Sam what they saw and the way they decribed it, it had teeth, claws, eyes, and wings. I didn't want to go anywhere near where Jack and Ralph were headed; towards the 'thing'. Just thinking about it sent chills down my spin and caused goose bumps to rise on my arms. Jack and his hunters, Ralph, and Simon, were all going to go hunt the beastie. When they asked me if I wanted to come, I was embroiled and felt uncomfortable going, so I just stayed on a rock that was covered in guano to watch the littluns... and for the beast. The ones that stayed looked extremely frightened, and I could understand why. Something Simon said last night, well.. its been itching at me every since he said it. He said "I think its just us." Meaning us as the beast. Who could think that!? I mean Jack right now is kinda a state of HUNT. But I know he means well. Even if he always picks me to bother or tease. I just sat here defidently waiting for the group to come back.
