Release My Neck, If You Can

(Song: Poison by Cavetown)

(So this is another one of those chapters that I wanted to do.  The beginning is not so fitting to the song, but as it goes on I promise that it is based on it.  Have fun reading!)

"So, does anyone want to share what they want to do in life?"

Everyone was gathered around the campfire, illuminating the faces of each camper.  They had gotten into the topic of what each camper's parents did for a living after talking about Ered's parents.

"I want to be a spaceman, like my Grandfather and Uncle!" Space Kid chimed up, bouncing on his log.

Everyone groaned, knowing he was going to say that.  Each camper shared an answer that was interesting and fit with their personality.  David knew that Max was going to avoid the question, but asked anyway.

"What about you, Max?"

"What about YOU David?" Max snapped back.  "You spending your life here at camp?"

David chuckled, "No I uh-"

"You yell at him now, but when he's dancing with a pop singer on stage you'll be jealous." Daniel piped up, coming back from a trip to gather firewood.  

Everyone looked towards David, his face going red.  "Right... I uh... I'm currently in dancing classes for a degree."

Nurf responded by calling him gay, and other campers were just shocked.  Preston screamed about how he wanted David to be a background dancer for his musicals and so on.  The counselor got a laugh out of it.  

"Well I'm also doing dance.  AND Theology." Daniel huffed, crossing his arms.  He wasn't too pleased with the kids at the moment.

David was shocked.  "Theology?  You never told me about that one..."

"Well it's there."

David held a lantern, watching Daniel row.  

"Are you sure this is okay...?  What if-"

Daniel shushed him.  "I want to check out Spooky Island.  If a camper needs help, Gwen's there."

David looked towards the island, a sick feeling in his stomach.  He knew what laid there.  Not only Campbell's old house, but also the haunting memories of his friend.  Sure, Jasper had been sent away after he told on him, but that was in the past.  He could get over it and have fun with Daniel.  He still felt awfully guilty, though.

The counselors tied the boat to a pillar and went off to explore.  The mascot scared them half to death, but they were fine for now.  David had been inspecting some tracks when he heard his boyfriend call out.

"Davey, get over here!"

David rushed over, stopping when he saw what Daniel had found.  Underneath rubble of a cave, there was a skull.  A human one, in fact.  David practically threw up.

"Daveyyyy...."

The one who was called looked around, scared, before looking back at Daniel.  "Very funny, Daniel."

"What?  I didn't do anything."

"Daaaveyyyy.." 

This time Daniel heard it too, and they looked at each other.  Deciding to investigate David turned around.  Looking to where the boat was parked, David saw a familiar pair of LA Gear light up shoes.  Looking right back at him was Jasper.  He walked closer to the translucent figure, shaking greatly.
