Okay so I have returned from the grave now! Thank you to all of ya'll I shall acknowledge everyone who's commented at a later time but it did keep me writing. Sadly no I did not write a whole lot of chapters on the ride but I did write this! Better a really good chapter than a desperate attempt at many right? Errrr so maybe not but I WILL try and updates a lot more. :] Ohhh and I just got the movie! Now this should all be more accurate than it otherwise would have been.

(Disclaimer: No I do not own Holes (sadly))

"Okay so which one is Lump?" I asked Squid. He was the only one who would tell me anything, the rest of the guys didn't want me to mess with the Lump.

"The ugly lumpy one over there of course' gosh and you call me dumb."

Sticking my tongue out at Squid and then giving the rest of the guys a thumbs up I made my way over to the guy with slick hair sitting in a recliner near Zig. All of D-tent watched closely as I walked in front of Lump. I had decided to use the guy's main weakness, well… unless he was gay at least. I was dressed normal except I had my top of my suit unzipped and tied around my waist to show my neon tank top, I figured that would do, I mean he hadn't seen a girl in awhile no need to be a hoe when I wasn't one.

Acting like I was going over to speak with Zig Zag I made sure to pass right in front of the psychotic youth slouched down in the puke green chair wallowing in grotesqueness. Unfortunately for me, the oaf did the one thing I didn't expect, he grabbed me as I passed by his chair plopping me on his lap.

"What the hell? Leave me alone you ass hole!" I yelled and smacked Lump. I may have wanted a small scuffle sure, but putting me on his lap? No I do not believe that was on my agenda.

With my smack Lump had released me leaving me free to hop up and stand near the pool table beside his chair. My smack though didn't end up helping much besides that, because the next thing I knew Lump was in front of me and he was mad I mean smoke coming out the ears furious.

"Girl, slapping me ain't an option so either you get back over to where we were before or you'll be sorry. I haven't seen a girl in months and to be honest, you're hot." He threatened closing the distance between where us. This was probably why the guys thought provoking him was a not-so-great idea, he was a nutter.

"Erm, no I don't think I will. It was nice meeting you and all….well scratch that, no it wasn't but I'll just be leaving now so bye!" , I say cheerfully still trying to leave the gigantic male behind me so I can shove this in Squid's face with my face still intact.

The next thing I know he has his arms around me again attempting to make me stop from leaving.

"STD emergency! Ahhhhhhh!" I yelled out struggling in Lump's rather vice like grip. There is no way I took martial arts since I was five just to be manhandled, I had an excuse to use it in self defense now. Then again a swift kick where the sun don't shine might be a bit more effective in this situation so without hesitation I kneed Lump in the groin.

In a gauzy layer of pain Lump peered up from his crumpled position long enough to say "You aren't getting away with that.", and start to stand up again.

Everyone in the room was watching now even my little stalker beside his broken static-y TV set was seeing how things unfolded. Oh sure don't help me why don't you? Backing away from Lump's even more furious (I didn't think that was possible) hulking form I backed up towards my original destination by Zig's TV.

"Now now big guy, can't we discuss this like civilized juvenile delinquents? I mean what's a mere kick to the groin amongst friends aye? Heh… heh, you don't want to do anything stupid now do ya'?" I start to babble for once in my life deciding to back down just an ounce.

With a quick jerking movement Lump smacked me sending me sprawling towards the TV. At this all of D-tent hops up and Lump is about to yell at me when to all involved surprise, Zig Zag leaped out of nowhere to tackle Lump to the ground, before a word was even uttered.

Still in shock from the blow I barely register what has just occurred before me, all I can think is "I'm guna' kill Squid. I'm guna' kill him I swear." While still sitting there on the floor clasping my reddened cheek.

"Get off of me you crazy!" I hear the one who had caused the redness yell from underneath his attacker, my stalker, Zig Zag.

Then at that moment it all dawns on me and a small light bulb goes off in my head "Zig is fighting for me…wait why in the world is he doing that when he thinks I'm and alien bent on eating his brains for government purposes?"

Zig Zag it looks like has the upper hand at this fight and even though I should be stopping this I can't help but marvel at how strong he must be to be able to hold back that beastly guy. Whoa snap out of it save your stalker think of your weird fetishes later.

Running over with the rest of D-tent who are now out of their trances along with me, I start to tug at the brawlers arms. I was knocked side yet again and this time I felt it coming on, the very thing I had dreaded and needed a match for when none was in sight.

"Can't….breathe….", I gasp grasping at X-ray's pants leg. I was having a panic attack just like on the day of the fire and like on that day my pills were nowhere to be found, I needed a match and quick.

"Need…I need…" , I'm still gasping and finally have attention from X but I can't get the words out. A cold iron grip was crushing my chest, ribs were only a fragile bird cage, my heart a canary, and they were being squished by some invisible force.

"What's wrong with Deirdre? Man I think she is havin' a seizure! Someone help me!", he called out to all ears ready to hear.

I was continuously muttering that I had to have a match of some sort, see something burn but the words, they were stuck in my throat.

"What in tar-nation is going on in here?" A loud voice with a thick accent breaks through the shouting and chaos that the fight has created. Zig Zag and Lump weren't the only ones now; they had sparked around five other fights around them. They stopped as abruptly as they'd started with that one sentence from Mr. Sir. The few who weren't fighting had gathered around me, partially to protect me but also because they were curious.

"Someone separate them two would ya, and for gawds sakes what is wrong with her?", he yells and some of the guys pull them away from the choke holds they'd had each other in, "Now I want an explanation before I have ta' put a hurt on yuh."

Mr. Sir glared at the two struggling boys in front of him, I'm amazed that he didn't flinch; Zig's face said he was ready to kill with that spark of fury still in his eyes. It almost scared me, and I was the one he had been helping. Note to self: stay on my stalker's better side. Lump on the other hand was resigned to his fate hanging limply in the arms of the boys holding him back. How that not so coherent thought came into my brain I'll never know but lack of oxygen is always a great excuse.

"No more fighten' ya hear me? Both of you can dig an extra hole a day for two weeks; you almost disturbed the warden over in her cabin. Fix her I'll go get Pendanski.", and then he left not having to say another word.

"Something……to…burn…need...match…matches." I break off as Zig kneels down with the rest of them around me and things start to get bleary.

"What's she even saying?" Armpit asks.

Without another word Zig Zag grabs the tooth pick out of Squid's mouth and lights it with silver lighter he'd had on him earlier. Careful not to burn me he holds it close so I can see the flames, almost instantly the flames work their magic and I am relaxing. Sitting up as best I could I smile at the guys not offering an explanation to what had happened to me.

All I told them was," I'm okay now, maybe I'll let you know someday."

"Dude I thought you were a goner." Magnet grins beside me.

Tired and sick of all this weird delinquent drama I'm at the point of collapsing back onto the floor. X-ray offered to help me back to the tent but in the end they all determined the only one strong enough was Zig, I was small but muscle does add up I guess.

He pulled me up onto his shoulder slung me across like the guard from before had done when I had fainted. The difference was my stalker was comfy for such a wire of a guy. The last thing I remember is closing my eyes as the steady stepping rocked me to the point of sleep.

Zig Zag's POV

Why had I saved the alien spy? All she wanted was my brains after all.

Must have been because of how Lump had treated her, even an alien girl deserved respect whether she wanted your brains or not.

That and it bugged you for a reason you don't know….but I do.

That pestering ever present voice in the back of his head mocked.

Not bothering to reply I keep trudging carefully towards the tent. How I had known she'd had to see something burn was easy, I'd seen that look on my own face many times before. It didn't change the fact that she wanted my brains, but she was okay, for an alien I mean.

Pulling back the dusty tent flaps I laid her on her own bed. She had fallen asleep on the way back, which wasn't shocking what with her first hole and argument and a panic attack or whatever that was all in one day. Even aliens require sleep eventually.

She was so peaceful there, with her black as coal hair fanned out around her and a bright blue shirt that matched her eyes. For a moment I almost forgot she was an alien, until my senses came back to me and I realized this was just another ploy to get my brains.

I turned to leave but glanced back to see a strand of hair in her face that annoyed me, it ruined the appearance of serenity. I brushed it back as lightly as I could and then walked away back to the Wreck Hall. If I was right Flapjack came on at around this time and there was no way I was going to miss my show.

Kay so what did you think? Be truthful now! Haha I wrote this then remembered her panic attack when I was done so I had to go back and rewrite it :P You know what to do click the magical button below.
