I don't know how longs it's been at this point since we crash landed on this island. Everyone here already feels like a family to me. I'm so incredibly confused with myself.  Ralph is confusing me and so is Jack. I cant stand the deadly glares they give each other when around me. Although both boys have my heart in their own ways I don't know who to fall for. "It's okay to love them both" that's what Katherine Pierce always said. Ralph is a natural leader, he knows how to care for someone , he can change someone's entire mood in just a single word. He is extremely mature and I find that relatively attractive. Jack on the other hand is far more reckless than Ralph, I would consider him protective and his company is always so comforting, I feel safe around Jack but I also feel safe around Ralph. Yet there are the 3 other boys that I also took into consideration on this island, First of all Simon, this boy has my heart but not in the way of a relationship, his friendship is more brotherly than romantic, I care for Simon so much I am so glad to have him in my life. Maurice? Maurice is one of the funniest guys I've ever met although I've never really gotten to know him. I did get butterflies when he was flirting with me but I always get like that, Maurice has a very attractive structure and such a wonderful smile, I hope this boy remains on my life. Roger. Roger.. There is something there that I feel for Roger, even though I tried my best to avoid him I always get this sudden rush of serotonin when he comes near me, he looks at me in ways that no boy has ever looked at me before. He makes me feel so different and confused , although I don't exactly trust him yet I feel as though Roger would be a very fun friend to hang out with, I still need to trust my gut around him. If something is not right then it's not right. I know that for a fact.

I was suddenly woke up from my peaceful slumber from an irritating wet tickle in my ear canal. Frightened I sit up immediately to come face to face with Jack, Maurice and Roger all surrounding me. Maurice you bastard.
"You seriously couldn't wake me up any other way than giving me a wet willy with your pinky Maurice?" I say slightly annoyed however I still found it quite amusing.
"Heheh it was Jack's idea!" Maurice claimed whilst pointing in Jack's face. Jack looked at him in disbelief.
"It was not my idea it was yours dickhead!" Jack jokingly punches Maurice in the shoulder leaving both of them sniggering at each other.
"Sorry to wake you from your slumber princess but we wanted to ask you something." Roger asked with a cheeky smirk on his face.

"Only if you're up to it of course, Simon said you weren't feeling the best last night." Jack said while looking me dead in the eye . It looked like he was attempting to read my thoughts. I already knew what they were going to ask me but I just played along.
"Sure what did you want to ask me?" I tagged along with whatever they were doing.
"We were wondering if you were willing to join us in a hunt today.. only if you're interested, Roger has made you a spear in case you wanted to so-
My face lit up and they recognised it clearly.
"Of course , I would love to!" I say with an exciting expression whilst tying back my long dirty blonde hair with my leftover hair tie on my wrist. The morning sun invading my hut making my green eyes glow.

"Well let's get to it then. Are you good with blood?" Jack asked in all concern. Shit that just reminded me of my period. I stayed noticeably silent for a bit, I forgot to answer Jack's question.
"Oh blood? Yeah yeah I'm fine with blood. What's so bad about blood? I mean it's just.. blood dripping down my leg. I immediately look down at my leg and sighed in relief. Thank god..
"Okay okay I just need to wash my face I will be about 5 minutes can you guys wait here?" I say in hope that they would let me do this quick task before the hunt. They all nodded. "Be quick." I heard Jack say behind my back. He could be arrogant at times but everyone has a weakness in them I guess.
I ran to the lagoon and brought myself some time, checking myself and changing just in case any "accidents" were to suddenly occur . The curse of blood is like no other. The crimson substance that is here to keep us alive yet it symbolises so much pain. I finished cleaning myself up and I ran up to the boys.

"You ready to go Franko?" Jack said with a wink.
"Ready as I'll ever be." I replied back with a grin. Roger chucked over the spear he made for me.
"Aw what a cute gift rog you really are a sweetie." I give Roger a flirty wink. Yes I know that this isn't what I should be doing but who gives a shit we are stranded on an island nobody is here to tell me what to do.
The boys sniggered at my comment but surprisingly Roger played along.
"Oh stop making me blush you're blowing my cover." Roger said sarcastically but his eyes told a different story. It was hard to read but there was something there and we could both feel it. Roger smirked at me and I smiled back.
"Aren't the others coming?" I ask.
"No it's just us 4 today.. is that alright with you Franks?" Asked Jack while attempting to take my hand. He looked down at me with his enchanting eyes once again.
"Yes.. let's go." I grin and we all walk off into the greenery. I look back at the camp and notice that everyone is still asleep including Ralph. He's going to freak out if he realises what I'm doing. I cant scare him like that.

Oh whatever Frankie who cares what they say you don't have to listen to anyone. I hesitate before I keep walking.
"You coming or what Frankie??" Maurice asked attempting to hurry me up.
"Yeah um how long do you think we will be?"
"It depends. Maybe a couple of hours."
Shit... it's too late to pull out now
"Alright let's do this." I say to them with determination.
We all stuck close together and crept through the Forrest like predators searching for prey. The music of the Forrest was mesmerising, the wild birds sung wonderful rhythms that synced to the melody of the ocean breeze, the green canopy's above us swayed ever so slightly at the wind brushing against them. Despite all the wonderful features that the forrest offered my body stayed on full alert. I could already sense the adrenaline leaking into my veins like an overfilled kettle. My body heat was rising dramatically , my eyes remained still and wide, the freckles across my cheeks matching the grains of earthly dirt that scattered beneath our feet. The boys felt the same I assume, nobody spoke a word. We could hear our own heartbeats. We trampled slowly through the bushes. , leaves crunching under our feet. I was the one leading the group since Jack thought it would be the best idea as I was the smallest and the less likely to make the most noise. Roger and Maurice stood close by. That was until we all heard the loud snoring of a sleeping boar. It was a few metres away from us. Jack grabbed my shoulders and brought me down to ground level. Roger took a spot next to me in case something were to go wrong in my attack , Maurice also stood steadily behind me for guaranteed protection. Jack then whispered in my ear "he's all yours princess , remember you want to aim straight for its heart. It will probably hear you approach it so when it runs you chase after it with all you can okay?

The rest of us will follow after you in case something goes wrong but I doubt it will." His hot breath on my neck sent chills down my spine. I didn't say anything to his words I only nodded. I slowly rose from the bush , my eyes were perched on the sleeping boar, I crept up to it whilst keeping my body nice and low. My eyes were so focused on the boar that I didn't notice the twig stranded in front of my foot. The moment my body pressure contacted with it a sudden snap set the alarm. The boar woke up and ran for it's dear life into the forrest. Adrenaline rushed through my veins there was nothing else that I thought of in that moment. All I thought about was killing this pig. I ran so fast that I didn't even notice how far behind the boys were. I didn't care even though my legs got cut and scraped from the vines and thorns I couldn't feel any pain at this moment. All I could feel was the heat of my body rush through me like water in a hot shower. My eyes focused directly on the boar not even 5 metres in front of me, my heart was pounding out of my chest and my skin was burning there was nothing that I wanted more in this very moment. The boar was only one metre in front of my feet, all it took was one big dive then I've got him in my arms you've got this Frankie .. kill the pig, spill his blood , do him in. I raise my spear high above my head and took a power run before I took off into the air. I took the leap of faith and dove high , everything felt as though it was in slow motion, I was above the boar and I stuck the head of my spear downward then piercing the helpless boar in the stomach.

I did it. I killed the boar.. we have meat!
I didn't notice the pigs blood that has sprayed all over my white shirt and my spear that was still stuck into the dead boar , I smiled at what I have done even though I was complete shocked in the type of beast that came out from within me. The adrenaline rush felt so good but the pain from all the cuts and scratches finally started to kick in. Jack , Roger and Maurice finally caught up only to see me standing above the dead boar with blood stains on my body. I left all of them in complete shock nobody had the slightest clue in what to say.

"Holy shit franko I didn't know you had it in ya!" Jack said. I could tell I made him proud and that made me so happy.
"As fierce as a tiger." Roger scoffed while looking at the dead animal then back at me .
"That was hotttt!" Maurice said whilst nodding and crossing his arms.

That was when I heard a loud chopping sound slice through the air. I couldn't identify what it was but I surely recognise it. That was when my face went completely pale. My skin turned from an olive tan to a pastel white in a matter of seconds . I sprint far onto the beach I could hear Ralph screaming the words of "over here! Come back! We're over here' help us!" That's when I noticed a helicopter flying over our heads. My head immediately swung to the direction of where the signal fire was supposed to be.. there was no smoke.. no signal. Fuck fuck fuck.  Jack was supposed to be in charge of keeping the fire burning. We could've been rescued for hells sake. I sprint with all my might up the hill to meet Ralph. I know that he noticed my presence but he didn't look back at me he was staring into the abyss of the horizon in which the helicopter got smaller and smaller through the distance . I lay a comforting hand on his shoulder, he accepted it and turned to look directly at me. I completely forgot about the stained blood on my blouse.

"Jack let the fire out." Ralph was incredibly blunt while expressing those words I was quite shocked but I could've blame him at all.
"Ralph it's oka-
"No Frankie this isn't okay if it weren't for Jack and his stupid hunting obsession then we could've been rescued!" The anger in his voice sent me chills. I hated seeing him like this. Simon , Sammeric , Piggy as well as all the littlluns made their way up the hill and stood miserably above the pile of ash.
"What is on your shirt Frankie?" Ralph asked in in interrogating tone. I look down onto my stained white blouse to identify the bright red blood stains from the pig I killed.
"Ralph I -
"Frankie what did you do? Tell me the truth."
"I went hunting with Jack , Roger and Maurice this morning. I killed a pig . But I completely forgot that Jack was supposed to be on fire watch. Ralph I'm so sorry if it weren't for me willing to go with them then we could've been rescued!" My eyes were tearing up. I could see the disappointment in his brown eyes but he still gave me a warm comforting hug.
"Frankie even if you didn't go for the hunt the outcome would've still been the same. They would've still gone on that hunt." Ralph said reassuringly. Although he did have a point I still felt incredibly guilty.

All the boys stood around us in complete silence, Simon approached us and rubbed my back gently for comfort.
" Frankie why would you go hunting? That is so dangerous especially after what happened last time with the wild boar." Ralph said in a disappointed tone.

" Ralph I'm so sorry I didn't know what I was thinking I wasn't thinking clearly at all and I feel so incredibly guilty right now even though it's not my fault it still feels like it is. I hate seeing you upset I hate seeing anyone upset I just feel like I let everyone down!" I broke down and cried into Ralph's chest. I then looked over at Simon and gave him a long hug too.
"Franks I'm not disappointed in you I'm just worried about you! It makes me feel terrible when you get hurt and I'd hate it if something happened to you. Please don't keep things from me because that would worry me even more." Ralph said while pulling me into another tight grasp. His words if reassurance definitely made me feel a whole lot better.

Everyone then snapped their heads to the direction of the Forrest when we heard the large group of hunters approach us while changing the song that I said in my head earlier . It was the same but different to say the least.
"Kill the pig, cut his throat, spill his blood , do him in!" All the boys stared at them in horror and watching Roger dumped the dead pig in front of all of us .
"Look Ralph , we've got meat! Franko killed it for us!" Jack said with pride. I was embarrassed and disappointed but also proud. Some of the faces on the other boys looked quite happy about seeing the meat in front of them.
" you let the fire out." Ralph said emotionless towards us Jack.
" It's fine man we can just light it back up again." Jack said with ease in his voice.
"We made a deal that you and your hunters would be in charge!" Ralph was fuming I could see his fists clenching. I quickly took a step closer in case something happens.

"Ralph it's not a big deal we can light it up again I-
"There was a helicopter! We could've been rescued if it weren't for you and your hunting Jack Merrdew!" Ralph snapped. Jack's face was expressionless. He had no clue what to say.
"Alright I'm sorry . We will keep the fire going for now on and not make any more mistakes in case another comes. Hunters gather some wood!" Jack demanded while all of the hunters followed his orders. Whilst doing so Simon politely asked piggy for his specs. In a matter of time the fire was lit again.

I glance over at Ralph. He seemed to be better. Jack then started cooking pieces of the meat and handed it out to everyone individually . Everyone besides the poor old Piggy.
"Hey where's mine!" Piggy whined.
"You didn't hunt.." Jack said inconsiderately.
"Nor did anyone else around here besides Frankie , Maurice and Roger!" Piggy complained.
I looked around at all the people enjoying their servings of meat that they had obviously been craving for so long. I noticed how Roger was keeping an eye on me and even looked me up and down. I then noticed Simon hand over his meat to piggy. This made me realise how pure of heart Simon has. I was the one who killed this pig so I got Jack cook Simon up another serving.
Once I placed the crispy pork into my mouth my body felt so relieved. I was so deprived of meat I was so glad I was finally eating some. I ask Ralph how he's doing after his outburst.
"How are you feeling Ralph?"
" Heaps better actually, I'm sure that this wasn't the last time a helicopter is going to fly passed here I guarantee!" The enthusiasm in his voice gave me hope.
Hope was all we needed right now. I still had hope for a rescue and for happiness. But at the same time this island already gave me a strange type of happiness. I feel free here. I don't know what I want.
