The beast inside

The sun faded over the deep brown mountains in the distance, the light around them. Flashlights shined through the trees of the dark forest,searching for the beast that had been terrorizing the people and animals of the small town, they listened carefully aware of the soft songs the birds were singing and the awakening of the crickets and frogs.Twigs snapped to the left of the search party, flashlights instantly swinging in hopes of seeing the beast.
