MiMi: Red Born

The Eyes Of Flames

Chapter 2

     MiMi was standing on top of a fallen tree, with anger leaking beyond her emotions. She couldn't believe what she was seeing. Dula, with tears streaming down from her eyes. Lying helplessly on the ground with cuts and bruises upon her body. Even though there were five figures around Dula, MiMi's eyes were locked dead on the one over her. "GET THE HELL AWAY FROM HER", yells MiMi with fury behind her voice. "Well. Here comes the lion", said Zildjian with a smile. "MiMi", said Dula slowly opening one eye. MiMi looks down at her and takes in the state of her health. Dula was breathing faster and sweating all over. She also started to wheeze and her breaths slowly fading. "Now don't tell me that you had a part in this too little girl", said Zildjian. He then stands back up and faces MiMi. "Please say you were just passing by. Surely you don't want to be involved in all of this right", said Zildjian spreading his arms apart. "I SAID GET THE HELL AWAY FROM HER! I'LL KILL ALL OF YOU BASTARDS", said MiMi. She slowly begins to walk towards them, with both fists clenched and her teeth gripped. "Uh-oh Zildjian. Seems like we have our answer. This one's a badass", said one of the men smiling. Zildjian sighs and says, "It really pains me boys". He walks over Dula, cutting MiMi off from her. Standing only a few feet apart. MiMi pauses her route and stares upon him with devilish eyes. "That we'll have to make two little girls crawl back home", Zildjian continues. "You shouldn't have touched her! You and your friends won't be able to crawl after I'm done", said MiMi. There wasn't even a stutter in her words. She meant every bit of what she said and her face showed it. Zildjian's body jumped and anger was projecting in his eyes.

He then throws a hard and quick slap from his right hand. "CLAP!" "Agh", said MiMi as the blow sent her slamming on the ground. The man slowly walks around her, smiling with evil eyes. Some of them were laughing and giggling. "Who do you think you're talking to, girl?! Didn't your mother teach you to respect your elders? What!? Do I have to slap her too? '' said Zildjian. This angered MiMi. She grasped her hands in the dirt below, and twisted her body to him, sending a right fist. "YOU DAMN-", yells MiMi, but a man standing next to Zildjian throws a hard right punch to MiMi's gut, interrupting her. "Ahhh", said MiMi in pain as his fist traveled deeper. She then plummets to the ground holding her stomach. Her body shakes as she tries to regain her breath. "Fearless one, isn't she", said the one who hit her.

Dula watches as MiMi coughs from her pain. "MiMi", she said softly. Dula then starts to pick herself up slowly, as her shaking body fights back the idea. "Leave her alone", she continued in a low tone.

A man to MiMi's right walks closer to her. He then brings out his right foot and kicks MiMi on her side. "Ahh", said MiMi flopped over on her side. Zildjian stood there looking at her on the ground. "Where did all of your fire go? And I forgot what you said you were going to do with us. Something about killing? Aren't you too young to be saying those types of things", said Zildjian, pacing back and forth between the girls. The other men repeatedly stomps and kicks on MiMi, sending dust around them. MiMi was coughing as she was hit by forceful blows. "It's time you learn to respect those who have power over you. Might as well start training now. I heard they are on their way here soon. I know that you have to live close by, so you must be next on their slavery list", said Zildjian smiling. He stops his pacing in front of her and Dula. "But after I'm done, they might just throw you two out like trash. The both of you will be useless after I'm done with you. No one likes to work with a broken tool", Zildjian continued. MiMi gets kicked from behind and lands face first in front of Zildjian. One of the boys walks behind her and stops beside her to her left. He then forcefully slams his foot down on MiMi's back. "Ahhhhhhh", yells MiMi from the pain. Her hands out in front of her twitching, and her body shaking uncontrollably. MiMi was grinding her teeth to hold back tears. "Come on MiMi! Get up", said MiMi to herself. "Your whole family is doomed. I've heard they have been taking people from their homes and forced them to work without a single piece. That's why we were fleeing from this land, cause there's no telling how far they will go", Zildjian continues to say. MiMi slowly raised her head up to look dead in Zildjian's eyes. "Yeah. Men working hard labor with only scraps to nibble on. Women raped and forced on by their own relatives", said one of the men standing nearby. "I heard that it didn't matter what age you were. They have to reproduce somehow right", another added. "It's a cruel world out there for sure. You know what? We could keep them and have them for ourselves. Trust me. It will be a whole lot better if you stick with us, compared to what they will do to you", said Zildjian with an evil smirk. MiMi stares at him, with evil intentions.
