A short story about Daniel from Camp Camp. Includes swearing and cult references

Daniel let out a nervous huff of air, he was being allowed back here. David, that energetic and big hearted fool, had convinced the judge to let him go and to show how much he could change in the camp. David whistled a tune as he parked the car, it was too early for any campers to be up yet. "Ok, so I'll show you around the camp again. Then after we can wake the campers and start the day!" David listed happily, a smile on his face. The morning went slowly as Daniel was lead around the grounds and the Counselor's Cabin. Gwen had given him an untrusting look as he walked into the office area."I'm off to wake the campers!" David cheered as he poked his head in, after a grumbled from Gwen he disappeared to the tents. Daniel knew the campers would probably through a fit, he's not allowed near the kitchen due to the koolaid incident. His mind raced as he sat in the office,'He had to stop trying to purify things, couldn't ascend anybody, and had to act nice, requested from David of course.' Daniel listed off a few as David came back and told them that breakfast was being served. As Daniel walked to the door he could still feel the mistrust, the kids had of course been told about his arrival yesterday. The mistrust felt like a wave crashing upon him as he opened the lunchroom door. The chatter had quieted down as they watched Daniel, David soon broke the spell with his loud greeting to the campers. Daniel wordlessly got his tray of breakfast and tried to keep his eyes on the floor ahead of him. He sat down at a lone table and started eating his breakfast but soon the three mischievous ones sat across from him.
"So cultist how are ya planning to fucking kill us this time?" Max questioned aggressively. Daniel gave him a tired glance and sighed. "Are you going to answer or do you want it to be a shitty surprise?" Max asked again as he put his hand son the table.
"I'm not a cultist anymore Max." Daniel muttered as he continued eating his breakfast slowly.
"That's what a fucking cultist would say! Tell us now so we can prepare, how're you going to make us 'ascend'?" Max stated in an angry tone, he grabbed Daniel's collar and shook him when greeted with silence. Soon he let go though and settled for an angry glare, Daniel glanced down at his tray and fork,'How easy it would be to just stab the kid. When he's not expecting it. Of course his friends are next to him though...' Max picked up the assault again,"Tell me, want some Koolaid? Or have us build a purification sauna? I bet you're planning different ways to get rid of us right now!" Max yelled at Daniel, getting in his face with hands either side of his tray. Daniel's eye twitched and the science kid's expression grew worried but was ignored by Max as he continued again the aggressive yelling. Daniel snapped and grabbed his fork, stabbing it with all his anger into the wooden table. Max let out a yelp at the quick action mere inches from his hand and buried deep in the table, further than a plastic fork should be even able to go. David and a few campers had looked over at the commotion, worry was growing on David's face as Daniel stood up and quickly exited the hall.
He sat angerly down on his bed,'The nerve of that stupid kid! He was trying to stop the urge to try to ascend them, but of course that kid tried to egg him on. Max? Yeah Max... He's an asshole.'
Later they were finishing up a long day of stations, Daniel left to deal with Max."So any new plans to to ascend us or some bullshit?" Max asked as he sauntered up to the co counselor. Daniel gave him an unblinking stare and a wide smile,"Well you wouldn't know until it was too late would you, Max?" Daniel stepped closer to the child,"In fact you could be asleep when it happens, or right. Infront. Of David." He chuckled darkly as Max got more scared,"Best to not piss off a murderer huh Max? We know lots of ways..." He trailed off and snapped back to his earlier position,"Best you get to your tent now Max." Said kid nodded and quickly headed away from Daniel. The man finished up and headed back to the cabin, grabbing some much needed sleep.
