A/N-I just want u 2 know y this is considered a supernatural fic. In the
novel Holes, a curse was put on Stanley's great-great-grandfather by Madam
Zeroni, who is Zero's great-great-great-grandmother because he had taken
her pig and broke a deal with her. Well, the curse was broken when Stanley
carried Zero up the mountain to Big Thumb. Sure, the curse was busted. But
get this; the power still exists. In this fic, I will explain how a
mystical power runs through the blood of Zeroni's and is slowly surfacing
in Zero. Oh, and in this chapter, you'll meet Loopy(Hilary Duff), whose
real name is Brenda. And maybe you'll meet a couple other people if I wanna
put them in right now. Well, thanx 2 all who bother to r/r! -ZeroZeroni (PS-
This will be antoher double chapter. I think unless I don't have anything
to say, they will all be double chapters. k. bye. and sorry i didn't make a
double chapter last time. i forgot.-ZeroZeroni)

4. The First Zeroni Part One
Many years ago, maybe three, four or five hundred years ago, there was a young black woman named Vixen. She was very thin, and very beatiful. Her full name was Vixen Luis Olkien(OLE-keen). She was a peasent woman. She served the royal King, King Jamal Zerocini(ZERO-chin-EE). A few years after she began serving him, the Queen Rosemary had her first son. Around the same time, Vixen had her first daughter. The prince wa named Hector. And, for some reason, probebley to avoid future confusion with last names, the King Jamal changed Hector's last name to Zeroni by removing an 'i' and the 'c' from the name. Vixen's daughter was named Raqel(RUH-KELL). She grew as a peasant, too. Hector and Raqel didn't meet for a long, long time. But, at around age twenty two, the met in an accident. Hector was walking through the forest, wearing plain clothing and not really what a prince would wear. He was just walking along when, before he knew what hit him, he was on the ground. He sat up and found he was sitting across from a beautiful young woman. Hector just sat there for a moment, admiring her beauty. She was a black woman. She had pretty brown eyes, short black hair and wore peasent clothing. "Oh! I am so sorry!" she said. She didn't know who Hector was. She stood up and helped him to his feet. She was rather small. "Are you okay?" she asked him. "Forget about me. Are you okay?" asked Hector. "Yes, I'm fine. I am sorry." There was a silence for a moment. "Oh, sorry. That was rather rude of me. My name is Raqel. And you are?" she said. "My name is Hector. Pleased to make your aquaintance(AN-i cant spell)," said Hector. He kneeled on one knee and kissed her hand. Raqel reddened slightly. "Um, will you walk with me?" asked Hector. "Of course. I have nothing better to do with my time." Hector and Raqel walked on the forest path together.
That morning, Mr. Terrance allowed the campers to sleep in, due to that they were to get another bus load of kids. Usualy, they don't get hit with ten kids then some more right after the other. Stan slept on the bunk above a blonde girl he didn't know. Zero slept in the one above Queen. In the middle of thier bunks, Vixen slept above Vee. Stan was one of the first to wake up. "Mornin, sleepy head," whispered a girl's voice to him. "Huh?" he said, his eyes just begining to come into full focus. His vision was still blurred, but he could still see the person. It was the blonde who shared his bunk. He sat up, careful not to hit his head on the low ceiling. He rubbed his eyes roughly and blinked. "Who are you?" he yawned. "I sleep underneath you," she said. Stan made a wierd fice. "Well that didn't come out right," said the blonde. "I mean, I sleep in thsi bunk, too." He still made the face. she sighed exahsperatedly. "What is the matter with me this morning? You sleep on the top bunk. You know, above mine. There, that's better," she sighed. "I still don't know who you are," said Stan. "Oops! Sorry. That was a little rude. My name is Brenda(Hilary Duff, duh!) Your Stan. I know. I asked Queen." Stan yawned. Brenda leaned back a little. She was standing on the bottom bunk with her hands on the top so she didn't fall. "Your tired? But it's like, five in the morning!" said Brenda, sounding somewhat outraged. "Yeah. That's why I'm tired," said Stan in a 'duh' way. Stan looked up and Brenda turned her head at the sound of rustling covers behind them. They saw Vixen turn in her bed. "Anyway, wanna come down? We can, i dunno, go and sneak some food outta the kitchen. U interested?" asked Brenda. "Um, I guess," said Stan. "Great! Get dressed in your uniform or go as you are and come outside. I'll be on the bench just outside the cabin. See ya there," she said, and jumped off where she was standing. Stan sat there for a moment. He wasn't sure what just happened. he had all of the sudden met a chick named Brenda who appeared to be interested in him. And she wasn't even dorky. She was actualy kinda cute, thought Stan. Stan jumped as he heard a cough. He was sharply pulled from his thoughts by the sound. he looked for the origin of the sound. He didn't know. They'd need to cough again for him to know. And they did. He followed the sound to Zero's bed. He shrugged and ignored it, but then he hissed to Zero. "Pssst! Are you awake?" he said. Vixen wipped her covers off from ove rher head and looked at Stan. Her eyes had little baggies under them, and they were tired. "No, he ain't, but now I am," she said, sounding irritated. "Sorry, Vixen," he said. Vixen yawned a word that sounded like 'whatever,' and then went back to sleep. Stan climbed down the bed ladder, careful not to disturb Miss Attitude(Vixen, of course.). He tip-toed to Zero's bunk. He saw that Queen was already gone. He stood on the edge of Queen's bottom bunk the way Brenda did to his. He shook Zero, who was s;eeping peacefully. He squirmed, then turned to him. "huh? Stanley, what's wrong?" he said groggily. "Nothin's wrong. i just wanted to let you know I'll be sneakin in the kitchen with my new friend when u wake up," he said. Zero yawned and nodded. "Okay, Stan," and he went back to sleep. Stan went outside and met Brenda out on the bench. She stood up when she saw him. "You ready to go?" she said. "Yeah," said Stan, glancing at the cabin door, "Let's go."
The next morning, King Jamal looked all over the palace for his son. He found him, dawdling in the courtyard. "Hector! HECTOR!" he boomed. Hector, how was day-dreaming, jumped at his father's startling voice. "Yes, Father?" he said. "What is this I hear? You have been lolling around with a peasent girl?" said the King in a furious tone. "No, Father! She isn't fit to be a peasent. She should be a princess! My queen!" he said. The knig was outraged. "Your queen?! A peasent girl!?" he said. "No! I will not have the heir to the Zerocini throne!" "No, Father! The Zeroni throne! I will be the start of a new era! Which means, I should be able to have a bride in any social ranking," said Hector defiantly. The king shook his head. "No. Not any son of mine. If you do so, you will lose your privlage to being Prince. She will no longer be a Zeroncini. Only a Zeroni. I will disown you." And the king turned on his heel and stalked off, Hector watching him go.
Zero woke up about an hour before they were supposed to start digging for the day. He was surprised to feel so cold in the heat. He then realized why. He was all sweaty. He had broke out in a cold sweat, like he had a fever and it just broke. He felt his forehead. It was a little wramer than normal. Then it hit. Zero convulsed. he had been on a bench in the cabin. He fell over and onto the floor. He was scrunched up again, the way he had been when Queen had come to his rescue. But Queen wasn't here now. he didn't know where she went to. All he could do was suffer though it. he couldn't fight it, or it would just be worse. He tried doing what he did when the sploosh had hurt him. He tried spelling out words. But he knew how to spell a lot. So he tried spelling bigger ones. Soon, the pain stopped. He managed to sit up on his knees before he convulsed once more and a horrid gagging sound came from him. He almost threw up, but he held it in. Then it was over. He didn't know why this was happening. But it couldn't be anything good(AN-Well, duh!).
5. "Keep the Poppies Away from me!!!"
Soon, they were all out on the Holy Plain. Thier holes were assigned to them, each by Mr. Terrance. Stan was assigned to dig a hole between Queen and his new friend Brenda. They were set up boy-girl-boy-girl. On Queen's other side was Zero. On Zero's opposite side was Vixen. Next to Vixen was Blacky. Then a new row began. As they began to dig, the bus that dropped Queen, Zero and Stan off came to the entrance gate and parked. This, Stan thought, was probebly the group of newbies that were the reason they got to sleep in that day. Stan and Zero looked up as Mr. Terrance walked past them, followed by that woman again. She had shiny black hair, wore shiny black boots, a black skirt, and, despite the heat, a black fuzzy coat. Mr. Terrance and the woman went through the gate to the bus. Stan leaned a little to try and see the new peeps. He didn't know why. He didn't really care. But he was curious to see what they looked like. He couldn't see them, so he shrugged and continued digging. "Stan, look!" Stan looked up at him at the sound of Zero's voice. He saw that Zero was pointing in surprise toward Mr. Terrance. Stan followed to where he was pointing. "No way," he said as he saw Mr. Terrance leading the new group to them. "Boys, girls, meet your new campmates, and maybe thier your bunk mates," anounced Mr. Terrance. All the people, with the exception of Vixen looked up at the group. They were all boys. One boy, who was in front, had rather dirty glasses and he was black. The boy behind him had sorta wild blonde hair and he was white. The boy behind him had darker hair and was Hispanic. The one behind him was rather big, tough looking, and black. The last boy was rather fidgety. "I'd like you to meet them all. I really don't feel like telling you thier names. So, if u wanna know, then ask them. And if they feel like telling you thier names, then they will. Okay. Hey! Somebody get up here and introduce yourself to the boys!" boomed Mr. Terrance. "Hey! X-ray!" Stan motinoned for Zero to follow and he ran to the boys. "Huh? Caveman? Zero?" asked X-ray as he instictively wiped his glasses on his shirt then put them back on. "You all know each other?" said Mr. Terrance. Stan nodded. "They are all transfers. They were put on another trial and then sent here after Camp Green Lake was shut down," said the woman. She came up to the group. She had been wearing shades and she removed them. Her eyes were as cold as before. Mr. Terrance turned to her. She crooked her finger and beckoned him to follow her. "Maybe this is not a good idea," he told her. "Nonsense!(she talks in that kind of high-pitched, whiny, spoiled voice the Karen actress uses. Because that isn't really her real voice. Just tellin' ya.) There isn't any reason why it won't work," she said. "But, the two girls already found out they were twins. What if they find out about--" "No! That was just so obvious. Now, this isn't as obvious," she said. "But what if they find out about the mur--" "No one will. You just leave that to me," said the woman. "Ziggy, what are those?" asked X-ray. "What? Oh, these," said Zigzag. In his hand was a puffy bouquet of orange poppies. "Thier poppies," he said. He was all stuffy. He was obviously allergic to the poppies. "And why do you have...poppies?" asked X-ray. "My mom told me to bring them. When she found out this was a co-ed camp, she made me bring them. She told me to give it to some girl. She said it'd be an act of politness, or somethin,'" he said. Vee came up out of now where. "Hey. my name is Veronica, but I'm called Vee. Who are you?" she said. "My name is X-ray," he said. "Cool," said Vee, holding out her hand, waiting for him to respond in the usual way that normal people do. But he just looked at it and recoiled slightly. "I'll shake your hand," said Zigzag. "Okie-dokey then," said Vee. "Like I said, I'm Veronica. Veronica Zee, but call me Vee," she added. "Hi. Hey, you wanna poppy?" he asked. "Oh, no! They make me break out in hives. At least I think thats what they do. I haven't touched a poppy in a long time. But, just to be safe, um, no," said Vee. "Oh," he said, sounding slightly rejected. "Do you have a sister?" he said, and, to his surprise, Vee pointed toward Vixen, who was digging in a hole. he walked around Vee, toward Vixen. "Well, what's the rest of your names?" said Vee. Zigzag came to where Vixen was tossing blobs of dirt into a pile. She nearly hit him with dirt as he walked around her. "Um, hi," he said. Vixen said nothing. "I said hi," he repeated. She still said nothing. She just jept digging. "Um, my name is Zigzag. Who are u?" he said. Vixen dropped her shovel. "Why are you bothering me?" she said. "Because I can, I mean, I just said hi," he said. One of Vee's eye brows raised. "Really," shes aid. She continued digging. There was an awkward silence, then she said "Vixen."
"Excuse me?" he said. "My name. It's Vixen." "Oh," he said, feeling sorta stupid. He suddenly remembered the flowers he was holding. He couldn't think of anything better, so he absentmindedly held them out toward her and said, "You want a poppy?" Vixen dropped her shovel again and she had a look of horror. She heard herself let out a small yelp. "Is something wrong?" said Zigzag. Vixen covered her mouth with her hands and a raspy squeal came from her. Her eyes were big. "No poppies!" she said in horror. He was confused. After all, they were just flowers! "What? What's wrong with poppies?" he asked her. He held the out to her, and one brushed against her hand. She screamed short and sharply and held her hand with the other one. She looked at it and he saw it, too. Where the poppy had made contact, there was a burn mark. Like, if Tabitha on Passions was hit with Holy Water. He looked from the poppies, back to Vixen, then at the poppies again. "I didn't put acid on them, I swear," he said quickly. Vixen jumped out of the hole and glared at the poppies. She took in a deep breath, then sighed in annoyance and slight anger. "Keep...the poppies...away from me!!!" she barked at him, her burnt hand stinging. "And leave me alone! i don't care who you are! I have no interest in wanting to know you! So, just leave me alone! Please!" said Vixen. She went back into the hole and finished digging. She jumped out again, glanced at Zigzag, and spat in the hole. Then, she turned shrply on her heel and walked toward the cabins. Zigzag sniffed. It wasn't clear if it was his allergic reaction toward the poppies, or if he was hurt. ____________________________________________________________________________ __________
