"I-"

David was speechless, but before he could say anything at all, the door opened and in stepped Daniel.

"Well hello you two," he said cheerily. "How are we both? Are you excited? I am; My self care is almost complete."

Neither of them spoke.

"Oh. Not playing along, eh?" Daniel twisted around to look at each of them in turn and his neck cracked. "I see. Maybe this will change your mind?" He whipped out his small, crooked silver dagger and grinned in a rather manic way. "So, David," Daniel turned to him. "I think I'll give you the choice, seeing as its your favourite camper who's going to die. I will give you three ways of dying for you to choose from. Now, let's see..." he paced the small space between them. "Max will either be stabbed, or... choked... or how about tortured until he loses his mind?"

David glanced at Max, who inclined his head vigorously and made eyes that said, 'go on!'

"Urhm," David said uneasily. "Erm..."

Max was just wishing Preston was here to teach David some decent acting skills, when he came out with:

"It's such a hard decision... it's almost as hard as..." David hesitated. Then, he took a deep breath, and swallowed his pride. "It's almost as hard as what's in my pants!"

Max grinned. Daniel gasped.

"What?! What's in your pants?" Daniel repeated.

"Yes, it's true," David said dramatically. "I can't keep it to myself for any longer. Daniel, I have feelings for you."

"Excuse me?" Daniel asked, looking horrified, blushing crimson.

"That's right, you heard me," David continued. "The strength you have in your faith, the way you command the room... oh gosh, it's so sexy... and most of all... those white trousers..." David bit his lip and realistically made a little sigh.

"What? Really?" Daniel asked, his eyes widening, still bright red. "You really feel that way?"

"I do," David said sincerely. "Even though you tried to sacrifice all the campers... I see now that you only wanted to make them pure..."

"Yes! Thank you! I'm so glad you understand!" Daniel exclaimed happily. "Oh, it's such a relief to know you don't hold that against me... because you see, David... your, um, feelings for me, they're... mutual."

"Th-they are?" David looked terrified. Max tried to keep a straight face. This had taken a very interesting turn.

"Why, yes, of course!" Daniel beamed. "No one could compare to your delightful spirit and positive attitude. And those tight little shorts... man!"

Max was surprised to see David blush- and it looked real.

"Maybe... maybe you could move Max to another room?" David asked tentatively. "Give us some... alone time?"

"That can be arranged," Daniel said, smiling, stepping closer to David.

-

"And don't get any ideas about escaping, Max, I'm not done with you yet," Daniel said firmly, as he plonked down the chair which Max was still tied to outside the room they had just been in.

"Whatever," Max grunted. Daniel went back in to David, and Max felt a little guilty for leaving David alone with that guy- Daniel was taking it way further than either of them could have imagined; although David had suggested it himself... surely so that Max could find a way out while Daniel was distracted, right?
