Stupid Rock (Open)

[Raeoki really likes pineapples]

Raeoki, you are an idiot.

She felt herself going faster and faster, much swifter then an eight-year-old such as Mimi could have. Raeoki's heart was banging around at he rib-cage, threatening to tear it apart and rip out of Raeoki's tissue and flesh, then let out a war-cry so blood-thristy that the only living thing on this Earth could mimick it would be a Mockingjay. Of course it would be a Mockingjay.

And meanwhile, as her heart went on a murderous rampage, Raeoki would crumple to the ground, her blood gushing out of the hole in her chest, seeping into the dust of the ground, while poor Mimi Malone watched in horror as Raeoki died a painful death. A death worthy of a Hunger Games, eh?

That was when Raeoki messed up. Messed up completely. She felt her fingers be jerked away of Mimi, the two girls forced apart by a sudden jerk gravity, or so Raeoki hoped. But instead of helping Mimi, she had ro run another foot before skidding to a halt and turning back. Raeoki, you big, ugly idiot! she screeched inside her mind as The Hobo from Hell swooped down on the poor little Mimi.

That was what made Raeoki an idiot.

Something primal ripped through the thirteen-year-old. A ferocity that rivaled a mother witnessing her cubs being attacked waved into her. She let out a screech that hopefully alerted a Peacekeeper or something, and flung herself between Mimi and the drugged-up man. "GET BACK!" she screeched, lashing out with a fist. "Crawl, Mimi! Crawl!" Raeoki hissed at the elementary student, realizing she didn't have enough time to help her up as their offender recovered from the blow.

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

[/i] Mimi would have giggled, but was too distracted by the fact Raeoki was now yelling to get up and crawl.

The midget man was stunned by Raeoki's blow, and Mimi took advantage of this. She rolled onto her stomach and army-crawled as fast as she could to Raeoki. Rocks stuck to her arms painfully, but Mimi ignored it. Mimi turned back to see that the midget had recovered from Raeoki's punch and was now starting toward them again. Mimi's fear struck through her again. She tried to fight down a sob, but it came out anyway.

Tears ran down her face, crawling faster and faster, ignoring the searing pain in her knee. The midget was to Mimi again, like the previous events never happened. Mimi flipped over and faced this monster. "What do you want from us? Why are you so determined to get us?" Mimi choked out. She sounded weak and defenseless, which she was, but Mimi hated it. Mimi tried to flip over again to attempt escape, but the midget freak grabbed her bad leg's ankle. Mimi screamed and tried to jerk away, but it was no use. He has her now. Mimi's only hope was that a Peacekeeper would notice or that Raeoki would save Mimi's life once again. [/color][/blockquote][/size][/center]

Raeoki hadn't thought about why this druggie hobo demon were chasing after them, the only thing running through her mind was to survive this addicted midget. She flinched when the scraggly man let out a high-pitched shriek, "Vandals! Thieves! Peacekeepers kill you!"

...Huh? Raeoki was totally confused now, but was rattled from her thousand questions when poor little Mimi was grabbed by the ankle. She let out a gasp, "MIMI!" and lunged at the druggie again, her palms pegging him in the Adam's apple. He let out a choking noise, dropping Mimi to hold his throat.

Raeoki found enough time to help Mimi up. "You're too young, Mimi Malone. Get out - now!" She was slightly annoyed that Mimi had ignored her first command, and Raeoki's tone and facial expression proved her agitation. Raeoki spun Mimi alone and gave her a slight push back, not caring if the girl got peeved at her or not. This was a life or death matter, and she'd rather Mimi chose the "life" option.

The scraggly man had recovered once more, and lunged at her. Raeoki took a step back, bending down to lift her jeans so she could get her hatchet, at the same time leaving her completely exposed. He grabbed her by the wrist and slung her around, twisting Raeoki's arm at her back. "OW! OW! Oh, shiz, OW!!" she screamed.

"You are being arrested," he growled. "For vandalism and thieving medical supplies-and, for that, matter, vandalizing and stealing from a Peacekeeper. Also for trying to flee from rightful punishment, too."

But, but...I thought it was...abandened! she thought, letting out a grunt of pain as he twisted her arm again.

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.

[Raeoki really likes pineapples]

Raeoki felt her arms released and heard something slide to the ground. She looked over her shoulder, grimacing at the fallen hobo and Mimi with a brick. "Well...that works. Thanks, Mimi." How many eight-year-olds slugged a hobo with a brick? Not many. Raeoki's left brow rose slightly as Mimi suggested that she get out of their- fast.


Raeoki took little Mimi's hand and hustled her out of their, glancing over her shoulder. "That guy was insane. I suppose I don't have to tell you to not grow up to be like him. It was rather obvious, after all.

They walked in silence, Raeoki taking in the habit of looking over her shoulder. Finally, she broke the silence. "Err, where was your house again? she asked, slightly laughing at herself.

That was when Raeoki noticed that her legs were quivering. Never send me in a Hunger Games Arena... she thought, slightly disgusted. Raeoki had not felt like that when she ruthlessly killed the murderer of her mom and dad. Instead, Raeoki had felt rather satisfied. Now she was literally shaking in her boots.

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.

Raeoki's eyes followed Mimi's finger and walked in it's direction, helping Mimi along. "So, uh..." Raeoki said. "What's your parents like? Have any siblings?" It was the only thing that currently came her to mind.

"I don't have any siblings," she added. "Just two grandparents on the mom's side." It just seemed fair to Raeoki that she should say something, too, after poking her nose into Mimi's business.

[Prim <3]

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."

Raeoki raised her eyebrows. "Different?" What did that mean? I hope that means that they're just embarrassing or something, she decided as a few...other things went through her mind.

"I can take it from here if you don't mind," Mimi piped up.

Raeoki felt slightly disappointed. "Are you sure?" she inquired, stopping in her tracks. Raeoki could tell by just looking at the Malone girl that she was sure. Raeoki nodded, "Maybe we can all meet in the fields sometime. Maybe even bring your brother along, if you want." That would be fun, maybe.

(ooc: We should have them meet again.)

[Prim <3]

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.

ooc: Yes we should

[Raeoki really likes pineapples]

Raeoki smiled as Mimi turned around and waved. She hesitated, then quickly waved back. "Bye!" she called. Raeoki hesitated, watching the little Malone girl hobble off, and turned around. She walked a few steps away, then spun herself around. "Sorry for kicking that island...and yelling at you!"

Raeoki felt that she needed to say that. She let out a sigh of happiness, and skipped in the opposite direction of Mimi. In Raeoki's mind, she had just gained a friend.
