Devil's Tree: Rooted Evil Page #5

---

Was the Marine okay?

Okay? (chuckles)

He slept like a baby that night.

I mean, don't get me wrong.

We've dealt with

pure evil before,

and some people

change from one minute

to the next, almost possessed,

but the spirits of these six men

were so determined

to kill this man that

they might've succeeded.

Okay, we're all set.

Looks like we already

got something.

[Jason] What's showin' up?

It's gone already,

but looked almost like

a small figure behind the tree.

What, like hiding behind it?

Yeah, I guess

you could say that.

And according to this,

we seem to be surrounded

by multiple entities.

Turn on the geobox, Kev.

Gloria, are you

feelin' anything?

I feel something.

I'm just not sure what.

It's almost as if it

doesn't want me to see it.

Who's out here with us?

We see you coming

through the camera.

You say anything

through the box,

just to identify yourself.

(whispering)

I'm hearing noises out there.

Me, too.

Talk to me, it's okay.

We're here to find

out the truth.

Who are you?

(people talking)

(static crackling)

[Boy] Benjamin.

Did you hear that?

He said Benjamin.

That's the boy.

Right, Sam?

There's still multiple

entities on that radar?

They're disappearing

one by one.

And their apparently

is a red dot.

What's a red dot.

A lower vibrational entity.

Something more

powerful and sinister,

like a demon.

Gloria, can you try to

connect with the boy?

Absolutely.

What was his name again?

Benjamin.

We'd like to talk

to Benjamin if we can.

He's here.

He's adorable.

He's seven or eight.

He was eight, yes.

Well, Sam, would you

like to talk to him?

I'm sure he'll answer you.

Yes, I can.

Benjamin, can you hear me?

So I'm just, I'm

just gonna go deeper.

Just let him talk through me.

Yes, I'm here.

I can hear you.

Hello, Samantha.

Hello, Benjamin.

Can I ask you a

question, Benjamin?

Who else is out here with you?

I'd like to talk to

Samantha, if you don't mind.

(chuckles)

No problem.

I don't blame you.

Benjamin, are you out

here all by yourself?

No, there are others.

Is there anything

we can do to help you?

No, no one can help me now.

I'm, I'm losing the connection.

Keep talking to him.

Benjamin, can you hear me?

Yes, I'm here.

It's happening again.

I, I feel a disconnect.

It can happen if there's

something else here

restricting the energy.

Benjamin, I don't

know if you heard me,

but I was wondering

if you could share

what happened to you.

Yes, Samantha,

I will tell you.

I was the first one here.

I was a child.

I was the first

victim at this tree.

I was not brought

here by choice.

A man took me from my school.

I was tricked.

He pulled me into the woods.

He told me to act like a dog.

I couldn't defend myself

and no one was here to help me.

I died of a heart

attack eventually.

I could not bear anymore pain.

Did they ever find your body?

My body was destroyed

and thrown elsewhere.

I came back here because

this is where I died.

Now I am here with many.

I am not the oldest by far.

But I am the most powerful.

(whispering)

That's why

I'm the leader.

You see, Samantha.

It isn't the tree.

It's me.

What are we doing, Sam?

I don't know.

What the hell is happening?

Look, man.

What is that all around her?

[Samantha] Why

would you do this?

I was wronged.

And I will get God back.

He is a heartless God.

And I will bring

pain and suffering

to as many people as I can.

And I'm good at it.

(dramatic music)

(gasping)

Oh my God.

Pack up the stuff quick.

We're gettin' out of here.

We gotta get her to a hospital.

(soft dramatic music)

Guys, let's go.

We can't wait for you.

Be right there, believe me!

All right, Sam.

They're halfway to the

parking lot by now.

[Samantha] This

wasn't your fault.

Sam, what are you doing?

I know you were a good kid.

You have to let this go.

What the hell are you doing?

It's demonic!

You're trying to reason with it?

I can feel his pain.

I want to help him.

I know I can help him.

This is nuts!

Benjamin.

Listen to me.

I know you can hear me.

You're hurting innocent

people like you and I were.

My father used to

come into my room

when my mother worked late.

I would run and hide and

he would make it a game.

Hide and seek.

I would hide in the closet,

but I knew he would find me.

But I was young

and I didn't know

where I could go,

what I could do.

And when he'd find me,

he would toy with me

and not open the

door right away.

And I would just try

to escape that place.

Try to escape into

another moment.

Samantha, I can't

say this again.

We have to go now.

Benjamin, you don't

have to do this anymore.

You can let this go

and forgive the man

that did this to you.

I know that God has

already forgiven you

for what you've done.

(dramatic music)

[Benjamin] I don't

need God's forgiveness.

He needs mine.

Benjamin.

I just want to help you.

I told you no one

can help you now.

Rob, what are you doing?

Rob's no longer

here, Samantha.

(slap smacking)

I bring bad things here.

This is my intention.

I was not powerful

when I was alive,

but here, I am powerful.

Not over me you don't!

(grunting)

Let's change that.

No! Stop!

[Rob/Benjamin] Let's

expose you for who

you really are, Samantha.

You liked it when

your father did

those things to you, didn't you?

Rob!

Can you hear me?

You are stronger than this!

Rob!

That's the word

of a little girl.

I told you Rob is gone.

I think it's time for you

to join me here at the tree.

I liked you.

(grunting)

(gasping)

(screaming)

(dramatic music)

(blood spurting)

(crying)

(screaming)

Oh my God!

Oh my God, Rob!

I'm so sorry!

(sobbing)

(blood trickling)

I'm sorry.

(sobbing)

You have the power to

do all these bad things?

Do them to me yourself!

(dramatic music)

Oh my God.

(dramatic music)

Boy, I order you

right now to release her

in the name of Jesus Christ.

You know you can't touch me!

Release her now!

(soft dramatic music)

Here you go, sweetie.

Thank you.

Can't believe how

big she's gotten.

I know!

I don't know where

the time goes.

It seems like it

was just last year

we were living in Florida,

Steven was looking for a job.

I blink my eyes and here we are.

You just never know where

life is gonna take you.

You're not kidding.

How are you doing

with everything, Sam?

I just can't believe

that I'm alive.

And I think that it should've

been me instead of him.

I'm learning to

live with the guilt.

I know there was

nothing I could do.

I just don't understand it.

I can't imagine what

you're going through.

But I do know that you

are one strong woman.

Don't you forget that.

Thank you.

I just don't feel

that strong sometimes.

Well, you are.

I've always known

that about you.

So?

How's the job?

It just started and it's hard.

(laughing)

But it's amazing.

That is so great.

I'm so happy you're here.

And now you're closer so

we'll get to see you more.

How are you doin'
