Stupid Rock (Open)

Mimi watched as Raeoki's fist smashed into the face of the drugged midget. It made a crack sound and the man spit out a bloodied tooth. His whole mouth was bleeding, and Mimi should have thought this was gross, but she was amused by the fact Raeoki just punched a hobo to save Mimi. She saw Raeoki in a whole new way now. Raeoki wasn't the girl that carried her to the "apothecary", but had earned a new title in Mimi's mind. Raeoki, the girl who beats up drugged midgets to save an eight year old brat

Once again, Raeoki put a smack down on the creepy midget hobo guy. Once again Mimi had a chance for escape. That was Mimi's number one priority right now, survival. She would live. She has to live. For her brother, Maxe, only. For nothing else, but him. Mimi didn't want to leave her hero alone, facing the "Peacekeeper". There is no way this guy is a peacekeeper , Mimi thought. Absolutely no way. He must be lying, trying to scare away whatever courage they had left. A peacekeeper lives in luxury, not abandoned buildings, even an eight year old knew that.

Mimi scrambled to get in a crawling position, to get the hell out of there, when she heard Raeoki scream, "OW! OW! Oh, shiz. OW!!!" . Mimi whipped her head around to see Raeoki getting "arrested". Her heart sank. The mad midget got her, Mimi couldn't leave. She didn't know what to do. Mimi decided that there was only one thing to do, alert the real peacekeepers. Maybe for once, they will actually help. No, no, she couldn't do that. What if the crazy hobo was a peacekeeper. Then Mimi would get in big trouble too.

Mimi then thought of something that was extremely risky. She looked around for something heavy, and settled on a rusty red brick. Mimi stood, having a bit of trouble, but once she got up there she just put all of her wait to one side. She bent of a snatched up the heavy brick. The midget was distracted by Raeoki, so Mimi limped around behind him. Mimi sucked in a deep breath and raised the brick above her head. She swung hard, aiming for the midget's temples. His grip on Raeoki released and he fell to the ground, unconscious.

"Raeoki! Let's get out here before people start to notice an unconscious hobo on the streets!" Mimi said.

Mimi was totally unaffected by the fact that she just knocked out a hobo. No big deal, it's just some crazy guy who thinks he's a peacekeeper. Talk about weird. Mimi's knee killed, and all she wanted right now was to go curl up in a dark hole somewhere. She'd rather go anywhere than "home". Her house is not her home. The fields are Mimi's home, but with her knee hurt she couldn't escape there. So Mimi has to face her parents. Maybe they will go easy on her since she is hurt? No, that's not even possible. So Mimi bucked up, and pointed in the direction of the poorer side of District 11. Where dirty shacks, like the one they just visited but smaller, lined the streets.

Mimi didn't necessarily want to take Raeoki to her house, who knows what her parents would do to the poor girl. It's not that Mimi liked Raeoki that much, but no one deserves what Mimi's parents have to offer. "I can walk to my house once we get to the beginning of the road, it's like right there." That was a lie, Mimi's house is located at the very end of the neighborhood about a mile away. This is for Raeoki's sake, however, and Mimi can manage.

Curiosity killed the cat, and in this case Raeoki is the feline. She wants to know about Mimi, the most messed up eight year old in Panem. Her parents? Absolutely evil. Siblings? Just Maxe, her hero, but to tell Raeoki about Maxe she'd have to spill the whole story. So Mimi just said, "My parents are......... different. And I have one brother, his name is Maxe." Mimi looked down, avoiding eye contact with Raeoki. Her family isn't exactly her favorite topic.

They reached the road where Mimi's house was on. She stopped walking and looked up at Raeoki. "I can take it from here if you don't mind."

Mimi saw the disappointment clear on Raeoki's face. She felt a twinge of guilt. Raeoki did save her life, more than once. She felt bad kind of abandoning her. Oh, well. Mimi started off in the direction of her house, looking back only to wave goodbye to Raeoki, the girl who beats up hobos in order to save an eight year old brat. Mimi giggled to herself and limped off.
