The cursed 00 jersey grows more dangerous as the horror fiction anthology continues at Camp Red Feather. In Part 4 of Summer of the Demon, Eddie Richter wakes up injured but not defeated, and the battle against the Demon becomes more desperate than ever.

After surviving another brutal attack, Eddie realizes the nightmare may have a weakness. But knowing how to fight the Demon and actually surviving the fight are two very different things. As storm clouds gather, practice turns strange, teammates grow suspicious, and Camp Red Feather prepares for another deadly scrimmage, Eddie and the Serpents are forced to make their boldest play yet.

This episode of Weekly Spooky delivers supernatural football horror, cursed-object terror, summer camp suspense, demonic mayhem, eerie mystery, teen horror energy, mature themes, brutal action, dark secrets, and a shocking cliffhanger that changes the game heading into the final chapter.

00:00:52.560 --> 00:01:04.840
fun at that way way. This is Weekly Speaking. Hello,

10
00:01:05.200 --> 00:01:10.799
my spookys, It's Wednesday, and you know what that means.

11
00:01:11.599 --> 00:01:16.640
It's time for a little spooky in your weekly. I'm

12
00:01:16.680 --> 00:01:21.760
your host and narrator, Enrique Kuto, and tonight we're bringing

13
00:01:21.799 --> 00:01:26.000
you part four of our summer mini series and things

14
00:01:26.040 --> 00:01:30.159
are getting messier than ever, so make sure you listen

15
00:01:30.239 --> 00:01:33.840
to the prior three parts and don't worry. We give

16
00:01:33.879 --> 00:01:37.760
you a little refresher at the beginning. But before we

17
00:01:37.840 --> 00:01:40.159
get to that, I want to say thank you all

18
00:01:40.519 --> 00:01:45.120
so much for joining us here tonight. Weekly Spooky is

19
00:01:45.159 --> 00:01:50.159
for those odd balls and weirdos who believe Halloween is

20
00:01:50.239 --> 00:01:54.319
a frame of mind more than it is a section

21
00:01:54.519 --> 00:01:58.280
of the calendar. You guys are listening in the dead

22
00:01:58.719 --> 00:02:03.319
of summer because you know, spooky season is alive and

23
00:02:03.359 --> 00:02:07.760
well in our hearts and I am proud to provide

24
00:02:08.240 --> 00:02:10.400
so thank you very much. And if you want to

25
00:02:10.439 --> 00:02:13.039

00:02:13.120 --> 00:02:17.439
without costing any money, just head to your favorite podcast

27
00:02:17.479 --> 00:02:21.360
app like Apple Podcasts or Spotify and leave us a

28
00:02:21.439 --> 00:02:24.560
five star rating. I'm not kidding, guys. It makes a

29
00:02:24.800 --> 00:02:29.159
huge difference because other spookies like us well. When they

30
00:02:29.240 --> 00:02:32.759
stumble across the show and see all these positive reviews,

31
00:02:33.400 --> 00:02:37.199
they know they're in the right place. So please head

32
00:02:37.240 --> 00:02:40.360
to your favorite podcast app and drop that five star rating.

33
00:02:40.400 --> 00:02:43.199
And while you're at it, if you know any other spookies,

34
00:02:43.680 --> 00:02:49.080
send them a show, get them involved, and grow the machine.

35
00:02:49.280 --> 00:02:55.199
But now, as for tonight, Eddie Richter should be finished.

36
00:02:55.840 --> 00:03:00.479
The Demon hurt him badly, left him broken, and proved

37
00:03:00.599 --> 00:03:05.240
once again that Camp Redfeather is not just a football

38
00:03:05.360 --> 00:03:11.199
camp anymore. It's a battlefield. But Eddie is still breathing,

39
00:03:11.840 --> 00:03:16.360
and sometimes that's all a hero needs. Now, with the

40
00:03:16.439 --> 00:03:22.080
Cursed Jersey still spreading terror, Eddie begins to understand something important.

41
00:03:22.800 --> 00:03:27.000
The demon is powerful and cruel, but he may have

42
00:03:27.039 --> 00:03:37.879
a weakness in the waiting last time. On Summer of

43
00:03:37.960 --> 00:03:42.080
the Demon, Eddie Richter and Jessica Branlake team up to

44
00:03:42.199 --> 00:03:46.439
learn about Gregg's past and see if he indeed returned

45
00:03:46.439 --> 00:03:50.520
from the grave as the Demon. Along with Chase Randall,

46
00:03:50.680 --> 00:03:55.159
they go to Strickfield to find Katie Klein, Gregg's ex girlfriend.

47
00:03:55.759 --> 00:04:00.199
Another of Gregg's journals is found at Katie's house. Inside

48
00:04:00.520 --> 00:04:05.879
is a final entry written by Katie herself. Almost a

49
00:04:05.919 --> 00:04:10.039
week later, a scrimmage takes place at Camp Redfeather. The

50
00:04:10.080 --> 00:04:14.719
Demon returns to attack the players. After killing one of them,

51
00:04:15.120 --> 00:04:19.879
he turns his attention to Jessica. Eddie sacrifices himself to

52
00:04:19.959 --> 00:04:24.160
save her. Will the Demon finally get revenge on Eddie

53
00:04:24.920 --> 00:04:28.560
find out as Summer of the Demon Part four by

54
00:04:28.720 --> 00:04:38.600
Rob Fields starts right now inside the equipment room. What

55
00:04:38.639 --> 00:04:41.680
are you waiting for, you bastard? I yell up at

56
00:04:41.720 --> 00:04:45.319
the Demon. When he stops crushing my head with his foot,

57
00:04:46.199 --> 00:04:50.519
he sneers down at me. I told you you die.

58
00:04:50.720 --> 00:04:54.360
When I want you to out of nowhere, The Demon's

59
00:04:54.439 --> 00:04:58.519
being tackled by a bunch of football players. What the

60
00:04:59.240 --> 00:05:02.920
you guys again, get off me. I scream when I'm

61
00:05:02.920 --> 00:05:06.639
being lifted to a sitting position. Are you okay, Eddie?

62
00:05:07.240 --> 00:05:11.879
I hear Jessica yell. Then she slaps my now bad shoulder,

63
00:05:12.519 --> 00:05:22.480
making me scream again, and then I finally pass out. Later,

64
00:05:23.759 --> 00:05:26.680
it seems like only a few seconds have gone by

65
00:05:27.360 --> 00:05:30.839
when my eyes open and I see I'm in bed.

66
00:05:31.959 --> 00:05:37.279
The bigger picture is I'm in a hospital room. Hey you,

67
00:05:38.079 --> 00:05:44.040
I hear somebody say, Jessica Brandlake's here with me. What happened?

68
00:05:44.279 --> 00:05:49.680
I ask? How did I get here? Jessica explains everything.

69
00:05:50.680 --> 00:05:53.639
The guys kept the demon down long enough for her

70
00:05:53.720 --> 00:05:56.199
to lift me up in a fireman's carry on her

71
00:05:56.199 --> 00:06:01.120
shoulders and get me here to Ridgeway Heights Hospital. I

72
00:06:01.199 --> 00:06:06.199
realize I'm wearing a sling. Sorry, I'm such a wuss,

73
00:06:06.920 --> 00:06:13.079
I groan. She looks sad. Now, yeah, I'm awful. Sorry

74
00:06:13.120 --> 00:06:17.240
I hurt you. I didn't know about your shoulder. She

75
00:06:17.399 --> 00:06:20.920
takes my good hand. And it wasn't a wooss who

76
00:06:21.000 --> 00:06:23.879
saved me back at the camp when the demon had

77
00:06:23.920 --> 00:06:29.920
me cornered. She gives me that devilish smile. You're my hero,

78
00:06:30.560 --> 00:06:36.079
little guy. She comes in and kisses me again. It

79
00:06:36.120 --> 00:06:42.000
ain't long before we're rudely interrupted. At least you're finally awake,

80
00:06:42.800 --> 00:06:48.160
The doctor says, I'll be back. Jessica tells me and leaves.

81
00:06:49.279 --> 00:06:52.600
I look at the dock. Just give it to me straight.

82
00:06:53.600 --> 00:06:57.079
He nods and says, my shoulders back in place, and

83
00:06:57.560 --> 00:07:01.439
it'll be okay. I'll keep you here for observation at

84
00:07:01.519 --> 00:07:06.079
least tonight. As for bad news, you'll be missing football

85
00:07:06.120 --> 00:07:09.759
practices for a while. You might even miss the first

86
00:07:09.759 --> 00:07:14.480
few games of your regular season, but who knows. Maybe

87
00:07:14.480 --> 00:07:17.399
you'll play sooner if you heal up okay and respond

88
00:07:17.439 --> 00:07:22.360
well to physical therapy. After we finished talking, the doctor

89
00:07:22.480 --> 00:07:27.279
leaves and Jessica comes back in. She says, my parents

90
00:07:27.279 --> 00:07:31.360
were here but couldn't stay. They're coming back in the morning.

91
00:07:31.959 --> 00:07:34.120
I just called your mom and told her you're awake.

92
00:07:34.720 --> 00:07:38.279
She gave me her cell number earlier. Then I sit

93
00:07:38.399 --> 00:07:43.120
up fast, bad move. After clinching my teeth from the

94
00:07:43.199 --> 00:07:47.519
pain in my shoulder, I ask her, are the others okay?

95
00:07:48.839 --> 00:07:53.800
They're fine? She promises that. Charlie Thaus guy said the

96
00:07:53.839 --> 00:07:58.120
demon threw everybody off and escaped. He didn't kill anybody

97
00:07:58.160 --> 00:08:03.319
this time. I groan. But what about next time? You

98
00:08:03.480 --> 00:08:08.560
know he'll be back. She shakes her head. Uh uh.

99
00:08:08.600 --> 00:08:10.519
If he wants to get to you, he's got to

100
00:08:10.560 --> 00:08:14.360
go through me first. I give her a weird look.

101
00:08:17.040 --> 00:08:22.759
Ain't the man supposed to protect his woman? Jessica laughs, Oh,

102
00:08:22.800 --> 00:08:27.480
you just stop. We're in this together. She sits down

103
00:08:27.560 --> 00:08:31.199
beside me. I don't want her here in case the

104
00:08:31.199 --> 00:08:35.559
demon shows up. At the same time, I don't want

105
00:08:35.559 --> 00:08:39.200
her to go. I don't want anything to happen to Jessica.

106
00:08:39.960 --> 00:08:42.720
But I can't do much of anything against the demon,

107
00:08:43.519 --> 00:08:47.200
and not just because I'm in a hospital bed. People

108
00:08:47.360 --> 00:08:53.000
call me pee wee for a reason. The next day,

109
00:08:54.720 --> 00:08:57.960
I didn't want to go home because my teammates risk

110
00:08:58.039 --> 00:09:02.679
their asses for me so many times. They didn't have to,

111
00:09:02.799 --> 00:09:07.519
but they keep reminding me where a team. That just

112
00:09:07.639 --> 00:09:10.799
made it hurt more, remembering when I tried to run

113
00:09:10.840 --> 00:09:16.000
out on them. I couldn't run out on Jessica. There's

114
00:09:16.080 --> 00:09:19.720
growing feelings between me and her. In this short time

115
00:09:19.759 --> 00:09:23.639
we've known each other. We've both saved each other's lives.

116
00:09:24.559 --> 00:09:27.679
Then there's us working together to try and solve this

117
00:09:27.879 --> 00:09:32.039
thing with the demon. I know he'll never stop coming

118
00:09:32.080 --> 00:09:37.159
for me, so it's either him or me. Now, long

119
00:09:37.200 --> 00:09:41.000
story short, my parents let me return to Camp Redfeather

120
00:09:41.519 --> 00:09:44.679
as long as I didn't get involved with practice physically.

121
00:09:45.600 --> 00:09:50.519
I'll still be at practices, but as Coach Mercer's temporary assistant.

122
00:09:51.279 --> 00:09:54.679
Once I'm cleared to return to practice, then I'm getting

123
00:09:54.799 --> 00:09:58.279
back in the game. Now it's my first day as

124
00:09:58.600 --> 00:10:02.559
temporary assistant co coach. It's been windy for much of

125
00:10:02.600 --> 00:10:05.679
the day, probably going to be a storm blowing in

126
00:10:05.799 --> 00:10:09.440
later on. As coach calls for the guys to work

127
00:10:09.480 --> 00:10:14.200
on another play, the wind picks up more. When Jason

128
00:10:14.279 --> 00:10:19.679
Norman calls for the stap, the wind gets much worse. Now,

129
00:10:19.879 --> 00:10:25.720
Clouds move across the sky real fast, and suddenly everything

130
00:10:25.799 --> 00:10:30.159
is as dark as night. What the hell? I cry

131
00:10:30.200 --> 00:10:33.440
out when I'm suddenly right in the middle of a

132
00:10:33.799 --> 00:10:38.679
football game. I have my helmet and uniform on, and no,

133
00:10:39.679 --> 00:10:43.879
I'm back at Strickfield Academy. People are in the stands

134
00:10:43.919 --> 00:10:47.960
on both sides. The lights and scoreboard are shining bright.

135
00:10:48.679 --> 00:10:52.639
I don't even bother checking the score and look downfield

136
00:10:52.720 --> 00:10:57.440
to see Greg Brandlake at the other end as the demon.

137
00:10:58.559 --> 00:11:04.159
There's nowhere for you to run pee wee Richter. This

138
00:11:04.360 --> 00:11:09.600
is a special round. It's just you and me. Now.

139
00:11:10.039 --> 00:11:13.519
He throws the football to me and I easily catch it.

140
00:11:14.200 --> 00:11:19.200
You get one shot, little man. You just have to

141
00:11:19.279 --> 00:11:24.440
put that ball in the end zone. Do that you live?

142
00:11:25.240 --> 00:11:31.960
You don't. Those glowing red eyes still give me the

143
00:11:32.039 --> 00:11:37.600
hebe gbis the Demon's waiting. I gulp and know I

144
00:11:37.679 --> 00:11:42.519
can't run to the turnstiles where I am. There ain't any.

145
00:11:43.159 --> 00:11:49.399
In fact, there's no way to leave this stadium. I

146
00:11:49.600 --> 00:11:57.399
have to go through Greg. Time to suck it up

147
00:11:57.840 --> 00:12:01.360
and show the Demon I can still be him. I'm

148
00:12:01.519 --> 00:12:05.639
pee wee Richter. I remember hearing one of our cheerleaders,

149
00:12:05.840 --> 00:12:11.120
Bella Tabon say I was one fast little fucker. Time

150
00:12:11.159 --> 00:12:14.679
to make good on her compliment. With every bit of

151
00:12:14.759 --> 00:12:18.799
determination I can muster up. I run right at Greg.

152
00:12:19.679 --> 00:12:25.399
That's it, come to me, little man. As I get

153
00:12:25.519 --> 00:12:29.559
closer and closer to the Demon, I finally get it.

154
00:12:30.519 --> 00:12:34.759
Brand Lake is just like me without that double zero jersey.

155
00:12:35.759 --> 00:12:43.279
He got that from Tinker's store without it, just without

156
00:12:43.320 --> 00:12:46.919
the jersey. When I reach Greg, I make like a

157
00:12:46.960 --> 00:12:51.360
baseball player and slide through his legs. Then I spring

158
00:12:51.519 --> 00:12:55.720
back up and bolt for the end zone. It won't

159
00:12:55.759 --> 00:13:01.879
be that easy. I'm the demon. This is my football field.

160
00:13:02.679 --> 00:13:07.799
You ain't beating me ever. Again. As I'm almost to

161
00:13:07.840 --> 00:13:12.480
the end zone, it seems to just move farther away

162
00:13:12.519 --> 00:13:16.840
from me. All of a sudden, I'm being lifted off

163
00:13:16.879 --> 00:13:21.360
the astro turf and slammed back down to it hard.

164
00:13:22.840 --> 00:13:27.000
Go ahead and kill me, Greg, I yell, not afraid

165
00:13:27.039 --> 00:13:30.639
of him anymore. We both know you ain't nothing without

166
00:13:30.639 --> 00:13:37.039
that jersey. Nothing. Greg screams and brings a clawed hand up.

167
00:13:37.759 --> 00:13:41.840
Even through all this, I still ain't afraid of him.

168
00:13:42.840 --> 00:13:50.320
Then the hand comes down fast. I sit up and

169
00:13:50.440 --> 00:13:54.320
see I'm in the cabin. Jessica and I sneak off

170
00:13:54.360 --> 00:14:00.440
to so we can sleep together Eddie. Jessica sits up fast.

171
00:14:01.240 --> 00:14:05.200
You okay. I'm so glad to see Jessica that I

172
00:14:05.279 --> 00:14:09.080
grab her and hold her close. She squeezes me back.

173
00:14:10.080 --> 00:14:13.919
I know how to beat him. I tell her the demon.

174
00:14:14.679 --> 00:14:19.080
She asks, Yeah, why didn't we think of it sooner?

175
00:14:20.559 --> 00:14:23.600
We come apart, and she takes my hands in hers.

176
00:14:24.759 --> 00:14:29.960
I'm all ears without that double zero jersey. The Demon's

177
00:14:30.159 --> 00:14:34.919
just a person, real flesh and blood. I point outside.

178
00:14:35.720 --> 00:14:38.879
You said the guys managed to pile on top of him. Right,

179
00:14:39.639 --> 00:14:42.480
if they can do it again, they can pull that

180
00:14:42.639 --> 00:14:47.039
jersey off him and make him human, then we'll know

181
00:14:47.799 --> 00:14:54.519
who he really is. Jessica's eyes are wide open now, Jesus,

182
00:14:54.559 --> 00:14:59.120
you're right. It was really that simple all along. She

183
00:14:59.240 --> 00:15:02.120
gets out of bed. Come on, we got to tell

184
00:15:02.159 --> 00:15:05.919
the others right now. I give her a sheepish look.

185
00:15:08.279 --> 00:15:12.320
You maybe want to get dressed first. Now she's got

186
00:15:12.320 --> 00:15:18.639
the sheepish look. Oopsies. After we get dressed, we go

187
00:15:18.759 --> 00:15:26.000
wake everybody up to share my discovery. Jessica and I

188
00:15:26.039 --> 00:15:29.360
have been trying to look for things that don't sit well.

189
00:15:30.120 --> 00:15:34.879
We've been at our respective practices. Jessica hasn't seen anything

190
00:15:34.879 --> 00:15:38.039
out of the ordinary at the cheerleader camp. When it

191
00:15:38.120 --> 00:15:42.240
comes to the football side of things, there's been some dissension.

192
00:15:42.960 --> 00:15:46.039
The demon's been on a dry spell and hasn't been

193
00:15:46.080 --> 00:15:50.320
showing up lately. We've been having nightly events and even

194
00:15:50.600 --> 00:15:54.960
gone swimming some afternoons, prime times for the Demon to

195
00:15:55.000 --> 00:15:59.159
show up and kill more of us. For the record,

196
00:16:00.240 --> 00:16:04.039
in so much pain now, well maybe a little after

197
00:16:04.120 --> 00:16:09.120
some of my physical therapy sessions, Coach Mercer's been trying

198
00:16:09.120 --> 00:16:12.279
to get my back up trained, but he ain't following

199
00:16:12.399 --> 00:16:17.240
plays very well. He's fast, but nowhere near as fast

200
00:16:17.240 --> 00:16:20.399
as me. The other guys give him a hard time

201
00:16:20.480 --> 00:16:24.639
over it. But that's not the dissension I'm talking about here.

202
00:16:25.840 --> 00:16:30.879
People have noticed Mark Schumer's been missing practices. When Charlie

203
00:16:30.960 --> 00:16:35.159
Thass joked about him being with some girl, Mark quickly

204
00:16:35.200 --> 00:16:39.279
got in his face. Now, Charlie likes messing with people,

205
00:16:39.399 --> 00:16:44.120
but he didn't strike raw nerves, not on purpose. Today

206
00:16:44.320 --> 00:16:47.879
Mark acted like he did. It looks like the two

207
00:16:47.919 --> 00:16:50.879
of them are going to fight big as Mark is.

208
00:16:51.559 --> 00:16:55.440
I ain't sure he could take Charlie. But Charlie's hoppin

209
00:16:55.600 --> 00:16:59.360
mad and demanding to know why Mark is missing practices.

210
00:17:00.080 --> 00:17:03.120
He even reminds Mark about how he was always on

211
00:17:03.240 --> 00:17:07.079
my case when I would be late. Mark says it's

212
00:17:07.160 --> 00:17:11.160
none of Charlie's damn business. Coach Mercer appears and says

213
00:17:11.440 --> 00:17:14.680
it's his damn business for sure, And right out of

214
00:17:14.680 --> 00:17:18.880
the blue, Alexis Benson, an alternate cheerleader who got promoted

215
00:17:18.920 --> 00:17:22.920
to the starting lineup, makes her way over and greets everybody.

216
00:17:23.799 --> 00:17:27.759
She goes straight to Mark. Hey, baby, sorry if I'm

217
00:17:27.799 --> 00:17:32.880
making you late for practices. Boy, do jaws ever drop

218
00:17:33.000 --> 00:17:36.559
and fast? If Mark and Alexis are seeing each other,

219
00:17:36.880 --> 00:17:41.440
they weren't kissing and telling until now. If that is

220
00:17:41.519 --> 00:17:44.400
the case, Mark's right about it being none of our

221
00:17:44.519 --> 00:17:49.559
damn business. Then again, Jessica and I don't exactly kiss

222
00:17:49.599 --> 00:17:54.160
and tell either, but nobody's full And Charlie, he's been

223
00:17:54.200 --> 00:17:57.319
calling me out on my shit eating grin and the

224
00:17:57.400 --> 00:18:00.519
girls can see Alexis is on cloud nine and by

225
00:18:01.079 --> 00:18:06.079
the way she blushes. Then she gets ballsy no pun intended,

226
00:18:06.720 --> 00:18:10.400
when she's in front of Mark and grabbing him down there.

227
00:18:11.480 --> 00:18:14.640
Better quit letting these keep dragging you to practice late.

228
00:18:15.599 --> 00:18:20.039
Then she lets him kiss her. Coach Mercer's had enough,

229
00:18:20.680 --> 00:18:24.160
all right, Alexis, back over to your side. We still

230
00:18:24.200 --> 00:18:27.880
got a practice for tonight's scrimmage. You can see Mark

231
00:18:28.000 --> 00:18:33.240
later when you're cheerleading on the sidelines. She lets Mark go.

232
00:18:34.200 --> 00:18:37.440
When she turns around, he gently slaps her on the rear,

233
00:18:38.119 --> 00:18:42.799
making her grin sheepishly and laugh a little. Then she

234
00:18:42.960 --> 00:18:47.000
turns her attention back to the other cheerleaders and jogs

235
00:18:47.039 --> 00:18:52.039
over their way. The other guys apologize to Mark, and

236
00:18:52.160 --> 00:18:56.920
he just gives them all looks that could kill making

237
00:18:57.000 --> 00:19:00.000
me remember something he likes to say to us on occasion,

238
00:19:01.119 --> 00:19:05.680
I ain't here to make friends. Coach Mercer's losing patience

239
00:19:05.759 --> 00:19:09.359
and yells for everybody to fall in line. I hate

240
00:19:09.400 --> 00:19:11.720
not being able to be out there with the guys.

241
00:19:12.400 --> 00:19:14.799
I really want to be there on opening game day

242
00:19:14.839 --> 00:19:19.119
against Old Miss. Honestly, if it wasn't for Jessica being

243
00:19:19.160 --> 00:19:23.160
in my life, I really think I'd be miserable to

244
00:19:23.200 --> 00:19:29.400
where I'd probably be crying. Hey, even us little guys

245
00:19:29.440 --> 00:19:38.039
got feelings too, you know. One week later, we're at

246
00:19:38.079 --> 00:19:42.400
our next scrimmage on a Friday night. Coach Mercer decided

247
00:19:42.400 --> 00:19:46.599
to make things interesting. He's coaching one side and put

248
00:19:46.640 --> 00:19:50.119
me in charge of coaching the other. I may not

249
00:19:50.240 --> 00:19:54.000
be the coach Coach Mercer is, but my team's been

250
00:19:54.119 --> 00:19:58.519
keeping up with them score wise. The cheerleaders are doing

251
00:19:58.559 --> 00:20:01.960
their thing and riling up the people watching the game.

252
00:20:02.880 --> 00:20:06.599
When Jessica sees me, she either blows me, kisses, or

253
00:20:07.240 --> 00:20:10.240
does an extra move or two to get my attention.

254
00:20:11.119 --> 00:20:14.160
Chase Randall has been doing a few naughty things too

255
00:20:14.400 --> 00:20:17.880
to entice us. I'm not going to say what, but

256
00:20:18.559 --> 00:20:21.480
I think Coach Mercer would probably have a heart attack.

257
00:20:22.799 --> 00:20:25.640
He does finally catch her when she pulls up her

258
00:20:25.720 --> 00:20:30.359
uniform top and gets the guys whooping and hollering, get

259
00:20:30.359 --> 00:20:34.079
off the field, Chase, he yells, pointing right at her,

260
00:20:34.599 --> 00:20:39.359
right now, you are done here. Chase covers herself back

261
00:20:39.440 --> 00:20:43.039
up and is still all smiles when she trots off

262
00:20:43.079 --> 00:20:46.960
the field and out of sight when the coach yells,

263
00:20:47.079 --> 00:20:51.240
everybody's getting their minds back in the game and fast.

264
00:20:53.519 --> 00:20:57.839
It ain't till the third quarter when the Demon finally returns.

265
00:20:58.720 --> 00:21:03.400
It's been nearly three weeks, but he's back. There's no

266
00:21:03.559 --> 00:21:07.640
mistaking those glowing eyes and that double zero on both

267
00:21:07.720 --> 00:21:11.519
sides of the jersey, not to mention the name Demon

268
00:21:12.079 --> 00:21:16.440
on the back. Honestly, I've been wondering if anybody in

269
00:21:16.480 --> 00:21:20.480
our group might be the Demon, but now I see

270
00:21:20.640 --> 00:21:25.839
everybody's here. Even Mark Schumer's on the field. Heck, he's

271
00:21:25.880 --> 00:21:29.559
on my team. When I don't see Coach Mercer around,

272
00:21:29.920 --> 00:21:34.799
I start suspecting maybe it's him, But that idea is

273
00:21:34.839 --> 00:21:38.839
shot down when he appears and yells for everybody to

274
00:21:38.880 --> 00:21:43.480
get off the field. The cheerleaders have already scattered. The

275
00:21:43.559 --> 00:21:50.480
Demon slowly approaches us. Another scrimmage, and once again, you

276
00:21:50.599 --> 00:21:55.160
didn't invite me to show you whimps how it's done.

277
00:21:55.720 --> 00:21:59.319
Then he sees me, I wish I hadn't ever put

278
00:21:59.359 --> 00:22:03.759
you out of it. Don't matter, though, You're still gonna

279
00:22:03.759 --> 00:22:08.519
be last. You get to watch me kill again tonight,

280
00:22:09.680 --> 00:22:13.599
son of a bitch. Mark Schumer yells and sprints out

281
00:22:13.640 --> 00:22:19.759
after the demon. Mark no, I yell out. Charlie Thoss

282
00:22:19.839 --> 00:22:22.640
and some of the other guys run out after him.

283
00:22:23.000 --> 00:22:28.440
The demon turns and waits for everybody. He grabs Mark

284
00:22:28.759 --> 00:22:32.319
and drives a knee up into his gut. Marks on

285
00:22:32.400 --> 00:22:36.759
his back and groaning. The demon stands against the others

286
00:22:37.200 --> 00:22:41.519
and knocks them all away. When Big Charlie Thoss reaches

287
00:22:41.559 --> 00:22:45.039
the demon again, the two of them have another skirmish.

288
00:22:45.920 --> 00:22:50.519
Give me a break. The demon groans and throws Charlie

289
00:22:50.519 --> 00:22:55.440
aside with one hand. Then he grabs hold of Mark.

290
00:22:56.079 --> 00:23:00.279
Time to show you you ain't so tough. I think

291
00:23:00.279 --> 00:23:04.920
I'll take you back to Hell with me. No, Mark yells,

292
00:23:05.400 --> 00:23:12.079
oh christ no, no, let me go. Shit. The others

293
00:23:12.160 --> 00:23:16.240
try again to save him. Call me stubborn, but I

294
00:23:16.319 --> 00:23:20.359
drop my clipboard and run right after the demon. I

295
00:23:20.400 --> 00:23:25.400
don't care if my shoulder's bad or not? Uh oh, peewee,

296
00:23:25.720 --> 00:23:30.880
it ain't time yet, the demon teases. He shows a

297
00:23:30.920 --> 00:23:35.400
new play by lowering himself to one knee and actually

298
00:23:35.599 --> 00:23:39.039
ripping a big chunk of the ground out near the woods.

299
00:23:39.440 --> 00:23:42.960
Then he throws it my way. I hit the deck

300
00:23:43.039 --> 00:23:46.440
fast and let that big dirt ball fly right over me.

301
00:23:47.599 --> 00:23:51.039
When I get back up, the demon's leaving the field

302
00:23:51.640 --> 00:23:56.839
and going back into the woods again, taking Mark with him.

303
00:23:57.079 --> 00:24:01.039
I try running after them, but my shoulder starts flaring

304
00:24:01.119 --> 00:24:05.519
up bad, stopping me dead in my tracks. Then I

305
00:24:05.599 --> 00:24:11.799
feel Jessica's right there. You okay, she asks. She's looking

306
00:24:11.839 --> 00:24:18.480
me over you look okay. Shoulders still hurt some, but

307
00:24:18.559 --> 00:24:23.559
I'll be okay. Next thing we know, Chase Randall is

308
00:24:23.640 --> 00:24:27.119
running to us. Did the demon really take Mark in

309
00:24:27.160 --> 00:24:31.480
the woods. We can't let that monster have him? Haha?

310
00:24:32.119 --> 00:24:37.720
Too late for that, That scary demonic voice calls out.

311
00:24:39.160 --> 00:24:43.119
We all turn to see the demon is back. You

312
00:24:43.200 --> 00:24:48.720
know what, Taking Mark to Hell ain't enough. I want

313
00:24:48.720 --> 00:24:52.759
to take all of you back to Hell and you

314
00:24:52.839 --> 00:24:57.440
get to watch it all happen. Pee Wee Richter. The

315
00:24:57.480 --> 00:25:01.880
rest of the guys huddle up seriously, No matter how

316
00:25:01.920 --> 00:25:05.960
many times the demon beats them all back, the guys

317
00:25:06.119 --> 00:25:10.519
just won't give up. I quickly move to them and

318
00:25:10.559 --> 00:25:14.640
slip into their huddle. Remember, you, guys, you have to

319
00:25:14.680 --> 00:25:17.559
get the demon down and get that jersey off him.

320
00:25:18.039 --> 00:25:21.839
That's the only way to stop him. He's right, guys,

321
00:25:22.440 --> 00:25:26.759
Charlie says, you coming out there with us, Peewee. I

322
00:25:26.799 --> 00:25:30.920
almost say no, but we're a team, injured or not.

323
00:25:31.680 --> 00:25:36.440
I ain't running out on anybody ever. Again, Yeah, I'm

324
00:25:36.480 --> 00:25:39.160
with you. I don't know that I can do much

325
00:25:39.200 --> 00:25:43.599
with my injured shoulder, but I'm with you. Charlie's got

326
00:25:43.640 --> 00:25:48.119
a better idea. No way, it's you, he wants, right,

327
00:25:48.759 --> 00:25:50.799
Why don't you go to the cheerleaders and make sure

328
00:25:50.799 --> 00:25:53.519
they get out of here safe? At least this way.

329
00:25:53.559 --> 00:25:57.680
You ain't gotta forget it, Charlie, I interrupt. The Demon's

330
00:25:57.720 --> 00:26:00.799
never gonna stop coming after me. Your heart's in the

331
00:26:00.839 --> 00:26:04.559
right place, big guy. But this has to end between

332
00:26:04.640 --> 00:26:10.680
me and the demon. He slaps my good shoulder. Then

333
00:26:10.720 --> 00:26:14.079
we gotta beat the demon, or we sure as shit

334
00:26:14.160 --> 00:26:18.960
ain't beaten, old miss. He looks to the others. All right,

335
00:26:19.000 --> 00:26:22.599
you guys, you heard Peewee. Let's take that jersey off him.

336
00:26:23.400 --> 00:26:26.559
When the others agree, Charlie leaves the group and comes

337
00:26:26.599 --> 00:26:30.359
back with a serpent's jersey for me. If you're coming

338
00:26:30.440 --> 00:26:35.920
with us, suit up where a team. Little buddy Jessica's

339
00:26:35.960 --> 00:26:40.000
looking at me, both pissed off and concerned. I give

340
00:26:40.039 --> 00:26:44.039
her a look saying I don't blame her. Charlie points

341
00:26:44.079 --> 00:26:49.119
out at the demon. Okay, motherfucker, we're playing for keeps.

342
00:26:50.079 --> 00:26:56.000
The demon sneers. Bring it. Charlie slaps Jason Norman's arm.

343
00:26:56.680 --> 00:27:02.759
Call it. After we get information, our quarterback does just that. Hut.

344
00:27:03.160 --> 00:27:06.680
We all run right at the demon. He flexes his

345
00:27:06.799 --> 00:27:11.039
supernatural muscles as he waits for us. When we all

346
00:27:11.079 --> 00:27:15.160
reach him, he beats us back. We keep getting up

347
00:27:15.200 --> 00:27:19.799
and running right after him, some of us screaming. Then

348
00:27:20.400 --> 00:27:23.880
I do what I did when I save Jessica and

349
00:27:24.000 --> 00:27:31.119
climb up the demon's back one more time. Before I

350
00:27:31.160 --> 00:27:36.599
can wrap myself around his head again, he grabs me. Aw, no,

351
00:27:36.799 --> 00:27:40.759
you don't. He throws me to the ground, right on

352
00:27:40.839 --> 00:27:45.079
my bad shoulder. I scream out from the sharp pain

353
00:27:45.240 --> 00:27:47.839
and suck it up to crawl over to one of

354
00:27:47.839 --> 00:27:51.599
the demon's legs and wrap myself around his ankle like

355
00:27:51.640 --> 00:27:57.240
a toddler. What the get off me, you little bastard,

356
00:27:58.039 --> 00:28:02.839
the demon roars, trying to sh get off. I keep

357
00:28:02.920 --> 00:28:06.200
holding on tight. Just as he's about to grab me,

358
00:28:06.799 --> 00:28:10.519
the others are all over him again. Then big Charlie

359
00:28:10.559 --> 00:28:15.039
thass crashes right smack into him. With all those guys

360
00:28:15.119 --> 00:28:18.759
holding on and me anchored around his ankle, the demon

361
00:28:18.880 --> 00:28:23.960
staggers and falls to the astro turf. Then the demon

362
00:28:24.079 --> 00:28:28.640
rises up with lots of football players piled on his shoulders.

363
00:28:29.480 --> 00:28:32.640
He tries to walk, but I'm still wrapped around his

364
00:28:32.680 --> 00:28:37.000
ankle good and tight. He staggers and falls on his

365
00:28:37.079 --> 00:28:42.400
ass again. Help me, you, guys, Charlie yells, get his

366
00:28:42.519 --> 00:28:46.640
arms up. When they do, Charlie goes right for that

367
00:28:46.759 --> 00:28:51.119
double zero jersey and somehow gets it off him in

368
00:28:51.240 --> 00:28:57.279
one single movement. No, give that back, the Demon yells,

369
00:28:57.720 --> 00:29:04.599
finally flinging everybody away. Run Charlie, I yell. The demon

370
00:29:04.720 --> 00:29:08.519
still can't shake me off when he tries running after Charlie,

371
00:29:09.079 --> 00:29:12.359
but I'm thinking my plan worked. When I feel the

372
00:29:12.359 --> 00:29:18.799
Demon's muscular calf getting smaller, I'll kill every single, god

373
00:29:18.960 --> 00:29:23.920
damn one of you. The demon yells, sounding like he's

374
00:29:24.400 --> 00:29:29.200
losing his power. This time, the other players easily tackle

375
00:29:29.279 --> 00:29:33.720
him down. Then I finally let go. When the rest

376
00:29:33.720 --> 00:29:37.319
of us get off him, we finally see who the

377
00:29:37.400 --> 00:29:44.200
demon really is. Jessica Brandlake's right there, just as eager

378
00:29:44.240 --> 00:29:47.640
as the rest of us. Now. She looks both pissed

379
00:29:47.720 --> 00:29:54.160
off and disappointed at the same time. Mark Schumer, she yells,

380
00:29:54.799 --> 00:29:59.119
are you seriously fucking kidding me? Right now? The rest

381
00:29:59.119 --> 00:30:02.839
of us ain't believing it either. Charlie points to the woods.

382
00:30:03.640 --> 00:30:07.680
We saw you get carried off by that thing. Mark's

383
00:30:07.720 --> 00:30:11.079
got a shit eating grin now, and not a good one.

384
00:30:12.079 --> 00:30:17.960
Guess you don't quite know everything. Huh, but why, Jason

385
00:30:18.039 --> 00:30:23.960
Norman demands, what the hell's your problem? Mark immediately points

386
00:30:24.000 --> 00:30:27.480
right at me because of this little shit right here.

387
00:30:28.920 --> 00:30:32.119
I don't care how fast you are on the field, wimp.

388
00:30:32.279 --> 00:30:35.200
I was always a much better player than you any

389
00:30:35.480 --> 00:30:38.119
day of the week. I was always the player who

390
00:30:38.200 --> 00:30:40.839
took all the chances. I was always the one who

391
00:30:40.880 --> 00:30:43.799
did what had to be done to win games, even

392
00:30:43.880 --> 00:30:46.680
if I had to hurt somebody to do it. And

393
00:30:46.720 --> 00:30:49.359
it was always me taking a back seat to some

394
00:30:49.720 --> 00:30:54.480
little wimp like you, just because you can run. You're

395
00:30:54.519 --> 00:30:59.440
a little wimp. Rickter a wimp, He gestures to himself

396
00:30:59.440 --> 00:31:02.920
with his thumb. Why shouldn't I have the demon's jersey.

397
00:31:03.480 --> 00:31:08.079
I'm not afraid to take what I want. Wimp. I

398
00:31:08.160 --> 00:31:13.119
shake my head slowly. No, something ain't right here. If

399
00:31:13.200 --> 00:31:16.079
you were the demon, then how are you able to

400
00:31:16.119 --> 00:31:18.160
be on the field with him at the same time?

401
00:31:19.680 --> 00:31:24.920
Like I said, Charlie grumbles, we all saw you two together.

402
00:31:26.480 --> 00:31:30.160
Mark laughs, like, I'm gonna tell you fucked tards how

403
00:31:30.160 --> 00:31:33.680
the jersey works. You think you got it all figured out,

404
00:31:33.720 --> 00:31:37.960
don't you. But what matters is I know you don't,

405
00:31:38.119 --> 00:31:43.599
and I ain't saying nothing. Coach Mercer approaches us. We'll

406
00:31:43.640 --> 00:31:45.599
lock this prick in one of the cabins and keep

407
00:31:45.680 --> 00:31:49.039
him under guard until the cops get here, and you'll

408
00:31:49.039 --> 00:31:53.720
tell them what you wrinkled old dick. Mark jears. The

409
00:31:53.799 --> 00:31:57.839
police ain't gonna arrest me for no ghost stories. You're

410
00:31:57.880 --> 00:32:02.680
gonna have to prove everything. Face it, Coach, you ain't

411
00:32:02.680 --> 00:32:06.240
got shit on me. You know it, and I know it.

412
00:32:07.319 --> 00:32:10.759
Charlie has the jersey. Well, what I know for sure

413
00:32:10.920 --> 00:32:15.079
is you ain't getting this thing back. Jason points to him.

414
00:32:15.920 --> 00:32:18.599
You just hold on to that thing, good and tight.

415
00:32:18.680 --> 00:32:25.960
Big guy Charlie surprised when Jessica takes the jersey from him. Wow,

416
00:32:27.039 --> 00:32:30.079
I can literally feel the power coming out of this thing.

417
00:32:31.279 --> 00:32:36.559
Then she raises it up fully extended, so much power.

418
00:32:37.519 --> 00:32:42.599
No wonder Greg wanted it so bad and now it's

419
00:32:42.640 --> 00:32:47.039
in my hands. Now I'm wondering if I may have

420
00:32:48.079 --> 00:32:54.799
seriously misjudged Jessica. Ah, no, stop her, guys, don't let

421
00:32:54.839 --> 00:33:03.799
her put that on. Well, my spooky is Next week,

422
00:33:03.960 --> 00:33:08.759
Summer of the Demon reaches its terrifying conclusion. The Curse

423
00:33:08.880 --> 00:33:12.680
double zero Jersey has one more game to play, and

424
00:33:12.759 --> 00:33:16.160
Camp Redfeather is about to learn the truth behind the

425
00:33:16.200 --> 00:33:20.519
Demon once and for all. And believe me, the final

426
00:33:20.640 --> 00:33:26.160
chapter pushes everything into full blown hell. A shocking betrayal

427
00:33:26.279 --> 00:33:30.599
is revealed, the Jersey's darkest power unleashed, and Eddie and

428
00:33:30.680 --> 00:33:33.920
the Serpents are forced into one last winner takes all

429
00:33:34.000 --> 00:33:39.440
football game where the scoreboard means survival and losing means

430
00:33:39.480 --> 00:33:43.759
being dragged straight to Hell. So be here next week

431
00:33:44.039 --> 00:33:47.640

432
00:33:47.680 --> 00:33:52.599
