Mera & Summer Perch
Mera stood there in shock as two woman burst out of the cafeteria doors screaming something about everything was a lie and that we were all brainwashed. Mera didn't consider herself brainwashed, she just considered herself cautious. There must have been a food fight going on in the cafeteria cause food spattered on the adjacent wall from the door. Summer nearly clambered up Mera's arm to be held and buried her face into her mother's shoulder. As much as Mera agreed with these two "protesters" this was not going to end well for either one of the young women.
The two guards came out and easily subdued one of the women, a girl with hair so light it almost looked white to Mera. Then the darker haired girl that was yelling the loudest, the one that reminded Mera of her Summer. The other guard got a good grapple onto her but the dark haired girl managed a good head butt to the mans nose, the crack resounded through the hallway. Mera was sure she had broken the guards nose.
"Ah! You little fucking cunt."
The guard backed away cradling his nose in his hand as it quickly filled with blood, as amusing and somewhat satisfying as it was for Mera to see the girl get back at her capture she knew this was not going to bode well for the dark haired young woman. The guard reached for the remote on his wrist and the girl immediately started to convulse and became a lump on the floor.
Summer's head rose slightly but when she saw the dark haired girl go down her face immediately went back to its spot on her mother's shoulder.
"Mommy why, are they doing that?" she whispered.
Mera shook her head and tried to comfort her daughter running her fingers through her little girls long dark hair.
"I don't know baby, they must have made a wrong choice. And now they're being punished for it." Mera didn't know what other terms to put it into so Summer would understand it better.
"Got her...I think it's time she pay a visit to the infirmary." said the guard still holding his nose.
"Did they really do something that bad Mommy?" Summer's head popped up and looked her mother in the eyes.
Mera was at a loss for words, Summer was correct there wasn't anything in this world that warranted the treatment the women was receiving.
"Hey Lady! You need to get yourself out of here. It's none of your damn business whats going on here" said the guard that wasn't suffering from a massive nose bleed.
Summer looked at the guards and before Mera had a chance to clamp her hand over Summer's mouth the little girl spouted off.
"You two are big meanies!" Summer crossed her arms across her chest.
The guard growled at Summer's comment, "Hey you need to teach your brat some respect or she's gonna end up like these two!"
Mera's face went white and she sat Summer down putting herself between the guards and her daughter.
"I'm so sorry she's just hungry is all" she took Summer by the hand and went around the corner with her heading to their quarters.
"But Mommy we didn't get to eat dinner?" Summer murmured as she was almost dragged along by her mother.
Mera stopped as soon as she knew they were far enough from the scene, she knelled down so she was at eye level with her daughter.
"I know you're hungry sweetie but we cant go to the cafeteria today. I promise you can have some snacks at home when we get there. How about that?" Mera said with a smile.
She didn't want to reprimand Summer for what she said to the guards even though she was a little girl she was right. The force the guards used on those women was wrong and she would never punish her daughter for being right. Even at a young age Summer could tell that where they lived wasn't exactly fair.
Summer nodded with a slight smile, the snacks that her mother had hid in their quarters was allot tastier than anything that they would get in the cafeteria. Mera smiled back hugged Summer, then stood and took her hand again.
"Lets go home sweetie and try to forget all about this okay Bunny?".
Summer gave a worried look at her mother "But what about those ladies Mommy? she asked genuinely worried for the women's well being.
Mera looked down at Summer she knew that this was something little girl would not forget so easily. "I tell you what later I'll try to figure out whether the women are okay or not". Mera figured she might take a trip down to the infirmary later to do a little snooping to find out what happened.
Summer gave a big smile that showed she was satisfied with her mother's decision, and so they went along back to their home.
