The Beast Unknown

and joined with some smaller mountains. This was going to make things more difficult. I didn't like it here, it was too...green, everything hidden from you in the shadows and it constantly rained. T

o came in." We started talking and he began going through the several stories that he heard while working here and some from some from his fellow students at the local high school. Many of the sightings, it appeared, were near a local reservation called DiAgon. I decided that needed to be my next stop. However, throughout the entire conversation I caught the girl in my peripheral vision looking at us strangely. Though she remained silent I could tell she knew something about what was going on, something secret. Her eyes gave away her every emotion and at the moment she seemed a little worried and definitely concerned. Though she seemed trustworthy, the kind of person who kept the secrets she was entrusted with and I doubted I would be able to get much from her. Either way, if all else failed I knew where to find her. If she had information I needed I would get it, no doubt in my mind. I would never actually harm her, not that she knew that, but I knew I few tricks. "Thank you so much Joe, I really appreciate it. Have a nice day... the both of you."

As I continued driving I soon saw a small parking area that was obviously used by tourists and parked my car. I could hear the beach in the distance and smell the sea salt in the air from my open window. It occurred to me that this would be a very pretty place if it weren't for the seemingly never ending cloud cover. I sighed and stepped out of my car. I wasn't sure where to begin so I just walked around, camera in hand, hoping to look like another tourist but keeping my senses open to anything strange. The day passed smoothly but I had yet to find anything that would help. I had questioned some people on the disappearances and the animal sightings but most just gave me the same answers. They hadn't see anything or that nothing has happened in weeks. A few seemed to know perhaps a bit more than they were divulging but decided to revi
