Okay, so this is my first ever fanfiction for Lord of the Flies. I was inspired to write this after I finished the book because I became obsessed with these two, hahaha! I hope you enjoy it!
Disclaimer: I do not own Lord of the Flies, it was by William Golding who's a genius! (hahaha) Also if I did own Lord of the Flies I'd be so pairing up Ralph and Jack in the book and the movie!
Unknown Abiding Love- Chapter 1
The sun's heat beat upon him as he ran, and ran, and ran. He couldn't do anything more than that. Not with that group of savage hunters behind him. No, he couldn't.
His breathing became harsh. Running as fast as his legs could bring him, not caring where he was going. He just wanted to escape. His fair hair hovered over his honeycombed colored eyes. Just minutes ago, he was strolling down the beach; sure that no one was there to see him. Unfortunately, he thought wrong. Now he was running for his life. Running from a boy that use to be a close friend of his. But now he couldn't take it anymore. He let himself fall down to the ground. He heard the group of boys coming his way, and then he knew he would be able to meet his other two friends up there.
Then, came a malicious laugh his way. He knew who it was, no other boy in the island could be as savage as he-Jack Merridew, was.
"Well, well, well...Look what we have here..." Jack pointed out. "Ralph...I'm pretty disappointed in you...You gave up too quick...Your just too weak now aren't you..."
Jack let out a sigh, and put his left leg on top of Ralph's back. "I was hoping for a fight. I guess I let my expectations take over me. Tch, boys- Bind him." And as quickly as that, Ralph felt the rope of vines being wrapped around his wrist and ankles. 'This is it Ralph. After this, your gonna die.' He thought to himself, hoping his death would be quicker than Piggy's. What he didn't expect though was to be knocked out with a fist clashing down on his head. He only remembered another one of Jack's dreaded laughs, but the rest was a blur.
When Ralph finally awoken he realized he was in a damp cave. A bundle of leaves and vines covered the entrance, making the inner space dark and horrid seeming. He moaned, trying to get up from the rocky and hard floor on which he laid. He shook his face vigorously, trying to take away the numb feeling in his left cheek where he laid on. He knew he was in binds. He remembered that insignificant savage telling his 'crew' to tie the poor boy up. Ralph sighed to himself.
"Why the hell did they not kill me yet...I just DON'T get it!!"
"'Cause, Chief pity's you. Hah! NOT"
There was a voice in the entrance of the cave. There was no figure standing there, so it must of came from outside. Suddenly the vines and leaves we're pushed away by a tanned hand, letting sunshine in. Ralph closed his eyes, squinting a bit though. The sunlight bothered them, but he wanted to know who was there. "It's me Ralph. Ya know, Roger." "Right...Merridew's right hand man..." Roger was flushed by this statement. He never really thought of being that, more like a partner in crime. Actually though, he liked the thought of being Jack's right hand man. But of course he didn't want Ralph to know. But back to the main point, "Stop acting like a know it all Ralph. Your the Chief's prisoner now, and there's nothing you could do 'bout that." "I ain't anyone's prisoner, and I will NEVER be anyone's slave either!" "You should really hold back your tongue Ralph! If the Chief heard ya, he'd kill ya in an instant! But for now, I bet he's letting you suffer!" Roger retorted with a smug attitude behind it.
"I'D RATHER DIE THAN BE IN THIS GODDAMN HELL HOLE YOU HEAR ME!! I HATE THIS PLACE! I HATE THIS BLOODY ISLAND! AND MOST OF ALL I HATE JACK MERRIDEW!" Ralph screamed with all the might he got, and it was pretty loud too since Jack heard it all the way from the bottom of Castle Rock.
And as quickly as his legs could carry him (which I believe is fast), he rushed up to the cave near the top of Castle Rock fuming.
"Oh, I think I hear the Chief coming Ralph." Roger excitedly. "You better prepare yourself."
Ralph cursed under his breath, wishing that he didn't yell those words. Roger was smiling the whole way through, watching as Jack was crawling up the steep mountain. Ralph became aware of Jack's footsteps coming closer and closer every second until...
"I'm glad you have a deep feeling of uneasiness for me Ralphy-boy." the red head came in, pushing aside the vines and leaning on them. All the fair haired boy did was stare daggers into the eyes of his foe. Jack laughed and put a mischievous smirk on his face.
"Think you're tough huh?" He then turned to Roger, "Look, take Maurice and Robert with you and hunt down a big pig. Tonight we're going to feast on this celebration of finally capturing Ralph. That won't be too hard for the three of you right?" Roger shook and his and quickly ran off, obeying what his beloved chief told him. Once Roger left, Jack began walking towards Ralph, chuckling every step of the way. "Loosen up Ralph... I'm not going to kill you- Well, unless you follow my orders then I won't kill you." Ralph's heart began beating faster and faster, he couldn't see Jack, but he knew he was getting closer and closer to him. "Wh-What are you planning Merridew?" Ralph finally had the courage and spoke up, but his reply was unexpected.
"What do YOU think Ralphy?" Jack's breath was right against Ralph's ear. The feeling of Jack being that close gave a shock go down his spine.
Jack was behind Ralph; his smirk soon became a huge smile that showed his canines. Sharp they were, sharp enough to make teeth marks that could last for days once bitten into someone's skin. And that's what he exactly did. Jack pressed his lips against Ralph's right shoulder, moving right and left looking for a good spot to bite at. Once he thought was a good place, he opened his mouth and dug his teeth into the soft skin of Ralph's. It was uncalled for to Ralph, and goose bumps rose in an instant. His face went deeply crimson, he was glad the cave was dark, and that no one was there to see this.
"When are you gonna be satisfied with what you did already?" Ralph moaned out. But that only made Jack bite in deeper, which made Ralph grimace. Minutes passed, and Jack finally removed his mouth from Ralph's bare shoulder. He then licked the spot he bit, making Ralph feverishly tremble. Jack lifted his head right next to Ralph's ear and whispered, "That wasn't to show love, or for your enjoyment Ralph...It's to mark that you're MINE and FOREVER will be..." A devilish smile crawled upon his face, he stood up and began walking away, but when we was at the entrance of the cave, he yelled out to Ralph.
"I'm taking you to our feast Ralphy, whether you like it or not." And with that he left, leaving Ralph momentarily scarred with what just happened.
I hope I didn't disappoint you with my bad way of writing! I'm sorry if I did! I'm still pretty new at this, and I'm still young too so I hope my vocabulary isn't off. XP I believe getting reviews from others will help improve my writing! Oh and there's gonna be more Jack and Ralph epic-ness in the next chapter! I plan to write my full idea I had in my head- actually I didn't expect to be making THIS the beginning, the last part was really a random idea that popped into my mind while I was writing it! Thank you for reading!
