Journal Entry 6: Beast on the Mountain

It's another beast scare on the island. The twins Sam and Eric were on the mountain watching the fire and they claim to have seen a beast. They say they beast was hairy, had teeth, and had eyes. To reassure the boys, Jack and I went to go to check everything out to make sure it wasn't a beast, a few other boys tagged along with us.
Even though I had told the boys time after time, there was no such thing as a beast, this time going up to the mountain I wasn't so sure, I didn't want the boys to know this though, I kept a confident attitude, although inside, I was doubtful and kind of scared. Is it really a beast? What are you going to do if it is? We can't protect ourselves from anything right now, we have no form of defense. I'm doubtful but as leader I am going to go to the mountain anyway.
Going up the mounain, the anticipation of finding out what we would find at the top was growing more and more.I'm not sure how I will react when if I find a actual beast at the top of the mountain. I'm not sure how the other boys will react either. 
We have now reached the top of the mountain, we found what the twins thought was the beast, approaching the beast in the dark was scary, but I then came to realize, it was our pilot, dead with his parachute still attached to his body. The wind was blowing the parachute causing it to pull the body, making the dead man seem to come to life. It was great relief to find out that our worries were now nonexistent. Terror was lifted from the island once again, I was happy to report this to the boys.
