END OF WARNING END OF WARNING
With that out of the way and if you're still here, good for you i guess... i did warn you after all.
Aaron woke up to another sunny day, after what happened yesterday, he somewhat got over what happened and was feeling a little better in all honesty.
He had heard a presentation on what is and what isn't a baseball after apparently not knowing about the baseball game involving grenades going on earlier and there was some guy who looks like David but wore white and had blonde hair.
"David." Aaron asked as David finished up the presentation
"Yeah Aaron?" David asked
"Who is that guy who looks suspiciously a lot like you... but wearing white... has blonde hair... and is really creeping me the fuck out right now." Aaron said, pointing at the David look-a-like
"Right, I want you Campbell Campers to give a warm welcome to our newest co-counselor. Daniel!" David said
"Howdy kiddo's!" He said
Aaron then noticed something very odd, he hasn't blinked the entire time, the presentation was an hour-long at least and he did give subtle glances or rather just looked at him a whole bunch every 1/2 of a second.
"...Okay, nearly all of us here can agree that this guy is oddly terrifying and I have no idea why that is." Aaron said
"That's understandable since I'm new, also I'd like you to mind your language fella." Daniel said
Aaron's eyes then widened, his eyes the size of pinpricks.
"Di-did you just call me... fella?" Aaron asked
"Yep-a-doodle." Daniel said
Aaron remembered something he didn't want to remember, ee then said this very seriously with hints of a hostile tone to Daniel.
"Never call me that, call me Aaron and nothing else."
"Woah Woah Woah Aaron, just because he's new doesn't mean you have to be hostile towards him." David said, a little surprised
"He IS you however." Neil said
"Except for the outfit, the blonde hair, eye color difference, and the fact he hasn't blinked since we've met him this whole entire time. Yeah, he's practically the same in a strange way." Aaron said
"Plus, I've gotta ask about the cult leader getup." Max said
Aaron didn't even think about that until Max brought it up, why DID he look like a cult leader?
"Hmmm, thinking the same thing also." Aaron said
"Ah, you must be Aaron." Daniel said, looking at Aaron rather creepily
"I mean... I said that earlier." Aaron said
"I've heard a looootttt about you." Daniel said creepily
Aaron felt the most disturbing sensation ever, to the very core of his soul, even across the multiverse, that feeling would arrive once in a lifetime.
"...What kind of things?" Aaron asked very slowly
"Don't mind them, they're sometimes pretty nice actually." David said
"Oh I don't mind, they're just ragging on the new guy." Daniel said
"One, that applies to a work experience that involves co-workers, get it right. And two, blink for christ's sake, I'm actually getting worried now." Aaron said, seeing as Daniel still hasn't blinked
"Well since I am new here, I figure that we do some exercises that cleanses us of our negative emotions." Daniel said
"That sounds great, I'll go finish up his employment papers while you guys have some fun with him." David said, leaving the room
The room was dead silent, Aaron felt very uncomfortable around him.
"Sooo, does anyone here like space?" Daniel asked
"OOOOOHHHHHHH, me, me, me!" Space Kid said excited
"Really? That's wonderful!" Daniel said
"Yeah, I know a lot about space." Space Kid said
"And I do also." Aaron said in the background
"Then I guess you two know that all negative emotions come from space." Daniel said casually as if it was a fact
Aaron's face in all description was basically like two lines for eyes and a line for a mouth.
"What?" Aaron asked confused
"I-I didn't." Space Kid said
Aaron felt something was off here, REALLY off.
"Well it's true, our atmosphere is under constant bombardment from negative emotion tied to dark toxins." Daniel began
"That's not even remotely true at all." Aaron said in the background
"These toxins have clung to the matter left over from the Big Bang." Daniel continued
"I-I, no that's not even a fact at all!" Aaron said again in the background
"Meaning that even if all of us are pure of heart at birth, we bathing in a bath of negative emotions day by day, hour by hour, minute by minute. Second by second. All of this caused by the millennia wars caused by Xemug and the galactic confederacy thus causing us to be filled to the brim with doubt and anxiety making the world seem scarier as time goes on and I know one thing. Because of this, I have to help others reach Acension." Daniel said
Aaron blinked at that, he was gonna say something but didn't, he closed his mouth, grabbed Nikki, Neil, and Max. He then dragged them outside, he then got out a flashlight, they blinked at it.
"Okay, thank god you weren't affected." Aaron said
"What does that mean?" Nikki asked
"He's a cultist." Aaron said putting away the flashlight
"I mean... that makes sense." Neil said
"It makes actually too much sense, we can't tell David since, let's face it. He's an idiot, if he didn't notice at first, he won't notice now." Aaron said
None of them could argue with that point, if he didn't notice at first then it won't notice it now.
"And that means?" Max asked
"That means, we stay out of it until we can strike." Aaron said
"And if we stay here?" Neil asked
"I can safely say three things will happen. One, we get indoctrinated and get forced with other people in the same cult. Two, we have to start killing non-believers as some cultists would call them as we have to fight for some sort of elder god or three which is the worst option by far." Aaron said
"What's three gonna do?" Nikki asked
"...Jonestown's gonna happen again." Aaron said
"OH!" Neil said shocked
"Yeah OH! Listen, I know of an area we can go to, but you can never and I repeat NEVER... tell anyone." Aaron said
The three looked at each other, and then they nodded at Aaron. The aforementioned person smiled and put his fingers in his mouth, he then whistled.
That's when a hawk appeared, Aaron scratched under his chin.
"You okay after the storm?" He asked it
The bird cawed happily, Aaron gestured them over and they flew off into the forest. Later arriving at a tree with a piece of wood near it, he walked over to the tree after removing a piece of wood, revealed a hole.
"Here we are." Aaron said
"A hole in some random tree?" Neil asked
"More like a base of operations that I use sometimes." Aaron said, sliding into the hole
The three other 'sane' campers looked at each other, shrugged and proceeded to follow. They arrived within a small area with a couch, a map among other things nearby a table with an assortment of items.
"Welcome to Base Red Banya." Aaron said
"Huh, why'd you build this?" Neil asked
Aaron merely stared at him for a few moments.
"...You don't even want to know the answer to that, trust me when I say it, it would make you more worried about that than what's going on with Daniel." He said after that moment of silence
"So what's our plan?" Max asked
"We wait for about an hour and then we leave, go back to the camp to defeat Daniel." Aaron said
"Is that even a good idea?" Nikki asked
"...Well considering how stupid David is and how similar Daniel is to David, I'd have to most likely say that is would take them two hours at most, one and a half hours at least." Aaron said
"You made this calculation, how?" Neil asked
Aaron looked at him again for a few moments.
Did he really question his logic after knowing him for so long?
"...To be perfectly honest, I don't trust all of you. So i made a ratio chart to see who would most likely kill everyone here in a certain time-frame. Quartermaster is first by twelve minutes, Nurf by Twenty, Gwen by twenty-five on a good day while twenty-three on a bad one, Max in thirty minutes, Neil by fourty or less depending if he has good access to explosive ingredients like in the competition we did, Nikki in fourty five minutes if she were to be hypnotized or had that time of the month going on, Harrison by fourty-six minutes. You know, the more dangerous people." Aaron said
"Wait what about me?" Max asked
"Oh I didn't include you, you're probably gonna destroy this camp anytime now." Aaron said
"...Okay that's a little better." Max said
"And that's the reason why." Aaron said
He then got out a pack of cards.
"Garbage anyone?" Aaron asked
"...Is that a card game or something?" Max asked
"HOOOOO boy do I have something to show you." Aaron said with an excited grin
One hour later
"And that's game match." Aaron said, flipping over the last card
Nikki slammed her fist on the floor while he high-fived Neil with Max patting her back.
"Nearly had you there." Nikki said
"What can I say, a former champion is a former champion." Aaron said
"Can't believe you had a championship in your school still." Max said
"Yeah, it became popular after one teacher introduced it." Aaron said
He then checked the time on his phone, he got up and put the cards away.
"Time to go punch a cult leader in his probable Jonestown concept loving stupid ass face." Aaron said
The others nodded and they arrived back at the camp to see David tied up with Daniel pouring some rat poison into some punch.
"DANIEL!" Aaron yelled
Daniel then looked at him with a creepy grin which would have unnerved him had he not held courage in his heart.
He did that during the tough times and he'll do it again.
"I see you've come back." Daniel said
"Yeah, to PUNCH YOU IN THE MOTHERFUCKING FACE!" Aaron said pointing at him
"I see you've figured me out then." Daniel said
"Considering you tied up David of all people along with pouring rat poison to mimic Jonestown or probably do what you most likely did before, I'd say we made an accurate guess." Aaron said
"Hmm, you are right about the previous camp part but I've still got ascend you." Daniel said
"You know, you're really are an evil motherfucker aren't you? Doing all of this because you just want Xemug to be pleased or some other elder god that you know. I'd have to say that stopping you from 'ascending' me and these other campers aren't gonna convince me of much." Aaron said
"Hmm, you know I remember a legend I was told by my former leader." Daniel said
"Oh god, what is it?" Aaron asked slightly disturbed
"There would be a boy that would one-day interfere with the plans of Xemug and the other ancient gods of old, he would be grabbed in green with hair of brown earth, and eyes of blue with glasses of black and red. A killer on his tail, skill with a blade, and an unwitting determination." Daniel said
"...Wow, that is a stupid legend, you think I'M apart of some cult legend you have?" Aaron asked
Secretly... that felt a bit too accurate to his life, he just didn't want to show it.
He has to unnerve him to get the advantage.
"In all basic terms, yes." Daniel said
Aaron said nothing for a moment, he then sighed deeply.
"Neil, Max, Nikki. Go untie David, I'm gonna have to fight a bitch." Aaron said
The three nodded and ran over to David as Daniel started to walk over to Aaron, cracking his neck while holding a curved dagger.
He didn't know who he was messing with.
"You've gotta admit, emotions beat facts." Daniel said
"If that were the case, we'd all be dead by the time we evolved in modern humans. Because we'd have people with a mindset like you running the show." Aaron said, raising his fists
Daniel made an attempt to stab which Aaron rolled out of the way, he looked over and saw a ladle near him, he kicked into the air and kicked it towards Daniel. Daniel moved his head away as it flew past him, Aaron sighed as he dodged another knife stab.
After a bit of dodging, Aaron was stabbed in the leg. He remained calm as he rolled away despite the pain in his leg, Daniel walking towards him.
"Huh, guess I win." He said
"Wow, that's an assumption." Aaron said
Aaron then pulled the dagger out of his leg which shocked some of the more sane people, he looked it over with a keen eye.
"Finely polished, well built, durable blade, sharp, however, not even poisoned. Should have aimed for something more vital, if this was rusty and we didn't have vaccines or at the very least had poison. You would have won." Aaron said
"And that means?" Daniel asked
Aaron then pointed the knife at him with killer intent behind his eyes.
He wasn't letting this cult leader leave this place alive.
"You lost by not aiming for the heart... and having this thing have poison on it." He said
Aaron ran over and slashed his chest, he grabbed a cup of the poisoned punch and threw it into his wound.
Causing Daniel to scream in actual pain, Aaron put a foot onto his chest and pressed it down.
Glaring at him with a wide cocky grin which unnerved the cult leader slightly.
"Guess you still have negative emotions, you're still bathing in them after all as you said." Aaron said
He lifted his foot and stabbed him in the chest, ending his life, he sighed and looked over at the others.
The adrenaline in his system was running out.
"Get the others to normal, call the police, and we're getting this cleaned up." Aaron said
A couple minutes later
Aaron saw at the police cars left after investigating everything, considering Daniel had tried to commit murder along with trying to murder him alongside that plus the additional charge of actual murder meant that Aaron killing him didn't really do much as it was considered self-defense.
He then sighed as he relaxed with Nikki, Neil, and Max in the lunchroom as sundown was starting to occur.
"Thank god that's over." He said
"I mean... you did just kill someone." Nikki said simply
"Yeah, so what?" Aaron asked with a shrug
"Aren't you affected?" Neil asked
"Nope." Aaron said, popping the p
The others looked at him in shock, Aaron then laughed.
"Oh my god, you should see the look on your faces when i said that! Hahahahaha!" He said
Aaron after a bit stopped laughing and wiped a tear.
"Hehehehe, ha." He finished
"Okay, so were you joking?" Neil asked
"Yep, I'm actually shocked I did that but then I remembered something important." Aaron said
"And what's that?" Nikki asked
"I'm already having some who's gonna kill me come chase me down, it was probably gonna happen sooner or later to be honest." Aaron said
"Wait, you're saying you would kill your own dad?" Max asked
"Since he's trying to kill me and if it happened during the whole exchange, probably." Aaron said
"Are you completely willing to do that?" Neil asked
"...Neil... in most normal circumstances, I wouldn't but considering this is a homicidal maniac we're talking about. I'd think we can put aside morality a bit in terms of, 'holy shit, I really don't wanna die'." Aaron said
"I mea-"
"Sssshhhhhhh, don't worry about it." Aaron said, putting his finger on Neil's lips
Neil sighed and grumbled, they then heard the closing of a car door, they walked outside to see Gwen... with a person who looks like her... with blonde hair.
"Fire that other guy because I found someone better!" Gwen said
"My name's Jen." The woman said
Aaron then saw her pull out a magazine.
"I'm into fashion and trashy magazines." she said
She opened it to reveal a lot of stuff that would make you nope the fuck out.
"No, just no." Aaron said
He then lazily picked up a large stick and hit her across the head, knocking her out and breaking the stick with a very loud crunch.
He threw the stick away and pulled out his phone, calling nine one one. He put the phone up to his ear and said this.
"Can you come back, another crazy person showed up." Aaron said
Chatter was heard, Aaron sighed.
"Yeah, she was a crazed murder. Named Jen actually." He said
Chatter was heard again.
"She has blonde hair, wore a pink shirt with fluffy sleeves and a white strap in the middle with an embroidered peace sign, along with white shorts." Aaron described
Chatter was heard again, he then smiled.
"Oh, she did commit murder before coming here?" Aaron asked
Chatter was heard again.
"Welp, I guess you better get here. Your forces were sent here to claim the body of Daniel, the cult guy who tried to kill people by the way." Aaron said
Chatter was heard again.
"Uh-huh, uh-huh, alright, yep, got it. We'll do exactly that, thanks again." Aaron said
Chatter was heard for a couple of seconds, the line then ends. He ended the phone call and put his phone away.
"Hey Gwen, please tie Jen up as the police are gonna be here in a couple minutes seeing as she committed 1st degree murder five weeks ago." Aaron said
"Oh... alright then." Gwen said disappointed
"...If it makes you feel any better, Daniel was a murder also. He's dead now." Aaron said
"...Thanks." Gwen said simply
And so, Jen was taken away by the police and everyone just went to bed that very night. The lesson here kids.
DON'T HIRE MURDEROUS CULT PEOPLE IN YOUR CAMP OR OTHER PLACE OF WORKER EVER!
You never know what's gonna happen after all.
Probably either attempted murder or actual murder...
Yeah, definitely murder.
Alright, welp.
I'll see you guys in the Fandom.
