And everyone (except for Simon) is STILL gone

          Everyone except for Simon is gone off still. I’m worried and it’s almost dark. Even when Simon came back, alone, and told me not to worry for them, I do. He only told me that they’d be gone past dark, which makes no sense to me if they’re so scared of a “beast.” Could something have happened to them? I hope everyone’s all right. The littluns are asleep, almost all of them. Knowing Jack I’m afraid he might’ve wanted to go off hunting, and dragged Ralph into it. I just hope nobody’s hurt because they are my family. Even jack who I think hates me, even him I consider my family. I hope they’re on their way back.
