Daniel quickly slammed the phone back into place, terrifying David and Gwen. They turned to look at the now trembling man, he looked terrified for life, his eyes wide with fear.

"I'm not going back." He mumbled to himself, he started to head to the door.

"What the hell is going on?" Max said as he started to raise up, watching Daniel.

"Daniel, wait!" David said, he grabbed Daniel's wrist, making the blond man turn.

"David you have to let me leave. Please."

"You just got here!"

"But I have to leave. Right now."

"Daniel, what's going on?" Gwen asked as she came up to the two.

"It's something I can't talk about." Daniel said, "Please let me go."

Max glared for a bit before speaking, "It's the cult. You're still in it!"

Both David and Gwen turned to Daniel as Gwen grabbed David's shoulder and pulled him back a bit.

Fear built up even more into Daniel, "N-No! I'm not! It's just-"

"Daniel." Gwen said, "Tell us the fucking truth. You wanted to make up to us."

Daniel choked on air, and gripped his shirt, "It's too dangerous I can't-"

"It IS the cult!" Max yelled out.

"I-No-It's-" Daniel was cutting himself off, trying so hard to avoid the truth.

Daniel looked at David, feeling a sword of guilt stab its way into his back as he spoke, "It is."

David tensed up and quickly shuffled his way to Max, "Don't-"

"Don't worry!" Daniel yelled out, sweat forming at his forehead, "Its only the Father. All I have to do is talk to him."

"I fucking doubt that." Max said.

Daniel gritted his teeth and wore a lying smile, "Don't! He'll understand. He's more understanding than anyone else!"

Daniel quickly turned and made his way out the door as the feeling of eyes made its way to him, surrounding him, "It's okay," he mumbled to himself, "It's going to be okay."

"What's the worst that could happen?"

—————

Daniel sat in the booth, extremely nervous, and sweating horribly.

"Daniel?" A low voice said, "Is that you?"

Daniel quickly turned his attention to the voice, it was Father Alexander, "Ah, Alexander!"

The large man sat down across from Daniel, "What have they done to you?"

"It's horrendous I know."

Alexander have a small sound of disgust, "You look wrong. I wish you would change."

"I can't." Daniel smiled, "At least not right now. I have trust to earn back."

Alexander smiled widely, "So they haven't brain washed you."

Daniel gave a chuckle, "Of course not. The great Zeemoog has been gracious enough to provide protection."

Alexander grabbed Daniel's hand, "Child, you have been chosen to carry out this mission. You must-"

"Show them all ascension. I know, Father. I will never forget. I won't fail."

Alexander stood back up, "Good, my child. If you ever need help just call for me."

Daniel nodded and watched Father Alexander walk out with a smile, soon standing up himself and walking out.
