I walked into the kitchen with Lucien and saw Tristan already waiting for us. There was a Strix member cooking breakfast. We were to be having eggs, pancakes, bacon, and sausage. I sat down, close to Lucien, knowing what was going to happen today, and that I couldn't change it.
Tristan smiled at us. "Good morning you two."
"Good morning, Tri." I replied, not looking at him.
"Good morning Tristan." Lucien replied. The rest of the time went by quietly until we were given our breakfast to eat. We were given orange juice and Tristan handed over even more blood bags.
"Rory, I suggest you drink up because after breakfast, you won't be getting blood for two weeks, as we agreed. Lucien, you can still feed, until you decide to take your first lesson."
"I've decided, against my better judgement, to say I would like Tuesday as my… first… lesson." I looked at him, surprised.
"I would like my second lesson to be tomorrow too."
"Very well then. Enjoy your breakfast." Tristan said, going quiet as he started his own breakfast. I followed suit slowly and Lucien began to feed with his own breakfast. When I had no choice but to get up, seeing as Lucien and I had finished up the blood bags Tristan had provided, I stood and Tristan quickly stood too. "Let's get started Aurora." Tristan said, grabbing my arm. He quickly turned his gaze to Lucien. "I would like to remind you that you are not permitted to leave the house this week. Do so, and you can expect an extra dose of discipline." He led me out of the kitchen and upstairs and into my bedroom.
"Tristan-"
"Shush." He stated, he sat down and pulled me over his lap. "Today your lesson is respect. I'm going to separate your punishment into three different sections today. First I will give you fifty with my hand. Do you understand Aurora?" I couldn't help the pout that came over my face.
"Yes, Tristan, I understand." I felt the first swat land and yelped, cringing. "Ow!"
"I do not appreciate the disrespect you showed me Aurora, I expect that from Lucien more than I do from you. I intend to impress upon you the displeasure I feel for you disrespect and I expect an apology when we are done today. You will have the option of choosing if you want your next lesson tonight, or tomorrow morning. Either way it will be happening. Do you have anything to say for yourself?" He asked.
"I'm so sorry Tristan. That was mean of me. But you wouldn't have let me do what needed done otherwise. I promise I wouldn't have done it otherwise."
"That is not my point, Aurora. By the time you are ready for sleep, this lesson will have been properly learned. You are not sorry you disrespected me, you are sorry that you were caught. As it may seem."
"Tristan." I cried as he moved on from my bottom to my sit spots.
"Yes Rory?"
"I'm sorry I killed some of your Strix. I'm sorry I killed the monks. I'm even sorry that I yelled at you."
"And I appreciate hearing it." After a few minutes Tristan moved on to my thighs before finishing up. "Now, I assume you know you are not allowed any blood for the next two weeks?" I frowned.
"Yes Tristan." It hadn't been as bad as I had imagined it would be. Yes, it did hurt. But no, it was just the beginning. I had two more spankings coming up.
"Then I would ask you to go stand in the corner."
"What?!" I yelled at him.
"Unless, of course, you would like more added to your punishment." I quickly got up and went to the corner like I was asked to do. "Five minutes should do well." I heard him say. I sighed as silence descended upon the room. I could hear Lucien feeding himself silly, I could hear some of the Strix watching television or playing pool, I could hear music playing from outside… I could hear my brother's heartbeat inside the room with me. I became bored in a matter of minutes. I laid my head against the corner, sighing again. After a minute or so later I closed my eyes and tried to just relax. It worked a bit and I could feel the pain from my backside slightly residing as time went on. That wouldn't be happening any time soon when Tri actually begins. That was sort of just a warm up. When I sighed a third time, I heard Tri give a disapproving noise so I resoluted to be quiet as possible. "You may come out, sister." I quickly turned from the corner.
"Tristan?"
"Yes Aurora?"
"At least I wasn't as mean as Lucien can be, right?" He shook his head.
"No, sister. That is not the point. Now I will see you at lunch." I blinked as he left.
….
It was time for lunch and I'd become nervous. I had began to dread lunch time. This week is going to be awful. I ate in silence as Lucien continued to feed on blood, drinking himself silly. "Tristan." Lucien said, finally pulling his lips away from his bloody straw.
"Yes, Lucien?"
"I was just thinking." I giggled.
"Alert the media!" I joked. He grinned at me before putting a serious expression on.
"I've decided that I would like to reschedule my first lesson."
"Oh?"
"Yes! I've rescheduled it to Sunday." I couldn't help giggling.
"Actually the latest you can schedule is Wednesday." He said a bit sternly.
"Fine, Wednesday it is." Lucien went back to his feeidng.
"What about you Aurora? Have you decided to reschedule?"
"What would it matter Tristan? It's going to happen one way or the other."
"Though I do admit that being 'grounded' is quite annoying. You have no idea the things you can do in this city." Lucien said.
"I know. I've been here a while." I replied.
"You'd think as a vampire, that these things would happen much faster but I guess when you're dreading something, time happens slower. I should be out having fun! Not stuck in here, doing whatever it is I am doing!"
"I blame Nik." I said as I crossed my arms.
"Blaming your boyfriend, hmm? That's interesting."
"Back off Lucien."
"Make me dear Aurora."
"I'll stake you to the table."
"Very threatening, do another."
"Enough you two." Tristan cut in.
"Fine." Lucien replied.
We finished the rest of our lunch and once again Tristan led me to my bedroom. "Aurora, jeans down." He ordered as he sat. I considered his request before shaking my head in vain hopes he'd change his mind. He just unbuttoned and pulled them down after unzipping. I was quickly over his lap, struggling. "I will let that pass as high from all that blood you had. You will be receiving thirty swats with my slipper and you will tell me why you shouldn't disrespect me. Am I understood?"
"Yes Tristan." I whimpered. I squealed when the first hit came. It was rekindling the flame that Tristan's hand had started. "Tristan, no, stop, please!" I begged as the tenth swat came.
"Then begin. Why shouldn't you disrespect me?"
"Because your my older brother who has my best interest at heart." I cried as I felt the slipper's sole hitting my bottom and the tip came and smacked me too.
"Yes, that's part of the reason. Tell me the other."
"Because you love me and I love you. Please Tristan." I sobbed as he moved to my thighs.
"There's one final part to this sister."
"Because it's rude." I sobbed. Finally Tristan paused.
"Yes Aurora. I'm proud of you. We've two more left and then this part of today's lesson will be over. Are you ready?" I shook my head and Tri began to rub my back, shushing me, comforting me. When I quieted quite a bit, he asked me again and I nodded, knowing they'd come anyway. He delivered them quickly before sitting me up and hugging me to him. I gripped onto him, sobbing. When my cries had gone deaf, Tri stood me up. "Ten minutes in time out and we're finished." I got up and headed for the corner, wiping my face dry.
"I'm sorry Tristan." I whimpered.
When my timeout was over, I turned and gave Tristan a kiss to his cheek and he pulled me into a hug. I spent a lot of time in Tri's arms before I let go and he and departed, he had to go check on Lucien. Lucien better still be in the house or Tristan's going to be mad.
…
I'd been hanging out with Lucien when Tristan called us for dinner. We ate dinner as we talked together and we were about to be finished eating when I heard Tristan speak up. "Lucien, Aurora. For this week, there will be no dessert for after dinner. Next week, I will allow dessert again."
"Oh, great, more punishment." Lucien sassed. Tristan drew himself up, looking right at him.
"Lucien, I have about had it with your attitude. If you do not drop it soon, I will be giving you a refresher course."
"What can't handle not getting the 'respect' you deserve?" Before either of us knew it, Lucien was bent over the table and Tristan was smacking him. I looked away, blushing. "Ah! Ow! Ouch! TristAN!" Just as suddenly, Lucien was facing Tristan. Lucien was shrinking away from Tristan as Tristan grabbed a very firm hold of Lucien's chin.
"I warned you, Lucien Castle. Now go to bed before I give you a bedtime spanking." Lucien gulped, nodding, looking just like a little child that their father or older brother had just scolded publicly. As soon as Tristan let go, Lucien was out of the kitchen. Tristan turned to Aurora. "Come Aurora, it's time to finish today's lesson." Aurora, almost crying herself, got up and followed Tristan to her own room. "Jeans and panties down." He ordered, sitting down on her bed. I obeyed half way but was reluctant to pull down my panties. I bit my lip but Tristan just finished the job for me before laying me over his lap… again.
"Tristan, I really am sorry."
"Thirty five swats with the hairbrush followed by fifteen minutes of corner time and we'll be done. It'll be over soon, Aurora, and then you can go to bed. Then we'll start on lesson two of five tomorrow." I gulped.
"Can't I reschedule?" I asked.
"Yes, you could. Do you want to?" I thought about it before sighing, shaking my head. "No? Very well then. We'll finish this." He began to swat with me with the hairbrush and I immediately started crying. He continued in silence, or as much silence as a spanking allows. I felt the hard back of the brush against my bottom cheeks, middle, and thighs before finally the swats began to land on my sit spots. By the time it was over, I was exhausted. I just laid against Tristan as he comforted me and I slowly fell asleep against his chest as I grew drowsy and finally just couldn't stay awake any longer.
This was going to be a very long week.
