So, like always this is a little out there, but I still hope you enjoy it(:

"Rose what happened to your head?" Dimitri asked looking over at me.
Things had started fading in and out and I felt my back hit the wall. Where was I? Then I remembered…Sonya's house…we- we had had…brought her back, changed her back…
I closed my eyes, my head was pounding.
I heard Dimitri saying my name, but I couldn't focus.
He walked towards me quickly, leaving Sonya's side, which surprised me, and I could see fear in his eyes as I began to slip to the ground.
"Rose!" He said, as I slid down the wall and then hit the ground, unconscious.
When I woke I was in a bed, I gasped and sat up quickly, standing…surprisingly fast. In seconds Dimitri was there, he caught my arms as I stumbled,
"Easy, easy." He said. My breathing was rapid,
"Roza, breathe, take a deep breath." My head was throbbing painfully, making it hard to get my bearings and to think.
I touched my head, and felt a bandage, I immediately wanted to pick at it, but he grabbed my wrists and pinned them to my sides, "Don't touch it, Rose." He said sternly, "How did you hit your head?"
"I don't remember…" I said, trying to stop the world from spinning, "I remember getting up from the floor near the dining table though."
"You don't remember?" He asked.
Great. "No."
"Sit down." He ordered quietly.
"I'm fine." I protested.
So, instead he wrapped his arm around my waist and lifted me on onto the bed,
"That's cheating." I whispered.
He tilted my chin up, "Follow my finger." He said, and moved his finger in front of my face for a few seconds, I watched and tried to follow but then my vision darkened and my head sent sharp pains throughout me, and I felt like I was going to be sick, I ran to the Bedroom's bathroom, and threw up everything I'd eaten in the past day or so.
I flushed and lay back against the bath tub, exhausted.
I jumped when I heard him again,
"That's not a good sign." He said again, "We should get you checked out."
I shook my head, "No we shouldn't. I'll be fine."
"You have a concussion Rose." He said.
I nodded, "It wouldn't be the first."
He sighed, and walked forward, kneeling beside me.
He pressed his fingers to the inside of my throat,
"Dimitri…I'm fine." I whispered, feeling like I was going to be sick again,
"Hush." He said taking my pulse.
Then, a few seconds after, Sonya walked in, she knelt in front of me and took my hand in hers, I felt hr magic flow almost immediately.
"Sonya, you don't have to do that." I whispered as my head ache lessened, she smiled up at me as my head wound healed and disappeared.
The only left was a dulling ache and the nausea.
"Sydney brought food for you guys." She said gently.
"I'm not eating." I said, my stomach still turning.
"Yes, actually you are." Dimitri said giving me a look when I met his eyes.
He helped me up from the ground, and I nearly threw up again,
"I'm not hungry." I protested.
"You need to eat something, Rose." Sonya said quietly.
I shook my head.
Dimitri stopped me by my arm,
"Rosemarie Nicole Hathaway," I flinched when he used my full name in that stern voice of his, "Believe me when I say this, I will not hesitate in holding you down and force feeding you, do you understand me?"
I hesitated, "No." I said stubbornly,
I gave a high pitched squeak of protest when his hand came down hard across my bottom, unexpectedly.
"Do you understand me?"
"Yes." I whispered, rubbing my bottom, embarrassed,
"Yes what?"
I gave him a look, and was rewarded with a stern look that promised more pain if I didn't take this seriously, I sighed uncomfortably in resignation,
"Yes, I understand."
"Good." He said, surprisingly soft. "You haven't eaten in almost 2 days, Rose. You're losing weight."
I simply nodded.
Sonya took hold of my hand and I felt my headache lessen again,
"Sorry," She smiled, "I shouldn't take away the sting, it would lessen his point." She said nodding to Dimitri, there was a small smile playing at his lips.
I sighed, and I knew my cheeks were as red as…well, other places.
"I'm sorry, I can't get rid of the nausea." Sonya said, changing the subject.
"No, no it's fine, thank you though. A lot."
She smiled and nodded.
They lead me out to the porch, and even the sight of donuts made me sick to my stomach for a moment. But, I swallowed back the vile, and sat against the wall sliding to the ground. Dimitri brought over a small plate with a donut on it.
I sat with it on my knee for a little bit while everyone else talked, I hoped I'd get a chance to throw it away when Dimitri wouldn't notice it.
"Rose, come with me for a second." Dimitri said, I flinched.
"No…" I whispered.
"That wasn't a request Rose." He said sternly.
The other looked at me, and I stood wearily and walked over to Dimitri, he put his hand my shoulder and lead me into the house, shutting the door behind us.
Now, he took my upper arm in his hand and lead me into the living room,
"There's more to this than you're telling me." He said, looking at me, but I inconspicuously kept my eyes from meeting his.
"Rose…" He growled, taking my chin in his hand and tilting my chin up until I was looking him in the eyes.
"Why aren't you eating?" He asked.
"I-I am, I'm just not hungry right now. "
"You best not be lying to me, Roza." He warned.
"I'm not." I said confidently. But truth be told, a lot of the time, I wasn't eating, and it was on purpose.
I thought I was going to get away with it. I really did.
We were sitting in a motel, I was paired with Dimitri again.
I tensed when he walked towards my bag, and I feared he knew something was up, he had seen me losing weight, I was sure of it, and had been giving m protein drinks and snacks.
"Dimitri…" I protested, standing up, but he was quick and he pulled the back open quickly, and there they were.
He cursed in Russian.
"That's it." He said, "I'm not about to let you do this." He said. I took a step back as he walked towards me.
"I-" I whispered, but was cut off as he grabbed my arm, and I let out a surprised yelp when is hand landed hard across my bottom.
"Oow!" I cried.
He didn't let me go, instead he sat on the bed and before I could react I was upended over his knee.
"No! No! You can't be serious!" I cried. "Dimitri, let me up!"
"You're not really in a position to be giving orders." He said softly, and his hand slipped beneath me and I felt the button of my jeans snap.
"No, please! Dimitri!" I protested, I could not believe this was happening. I felt my jeans slide off my hips, and I hid my face in his leg, and I was sure my cheeks were a bright red.
"I've seen you before Rose." He said, running his hand over my panti-clad bottom.
"You can't do this!" I whispered.
He sighed, "I beg to differ."
He pat my bottom twice, and I held my breath as he raised his hand,
SMACK!
"Ow!" I cried, the sting was twice as bad without my jeans.
I buried my face in his jeans again, content on not making a noise.
I made it to about 3-4 minutes, my backside was burning. Without thinking, I threw my hand back and covered myself.
He didn't say a word, he simply took my wrist in his hand, and pinned it behind my back.
"No, no don't!" I whispered as he raised his hand again.
He paused and rest his hand on my bottom, "Why am I spanking you, Rose?"
I felt like answering him was defeat…so…I didn't.
I was confused for a moment, until I saw his hand wrap around the handle of my brush, which was sitting on the nightstand.
"Noo!" I sobbed as he tipped me forward, 15 swats landed in rapid succession, and I cried into his pant leg, no longer trying to stop it.
He paused again, "Why am I spanking you, Roza?" He asked again.
"B-because I was hiding food." I gasped out.
"Good." He said gently,
"Why were you hiding food?" This was the hard part, my breath caught in my throat, and I shook my head and buried my face in his pant leg again and prepared myself for the swats I knew were coming.
"Rose…" He said sadly, instead of the swats I was expecting, I felt his fingers hook on the back of my panties.
I tensed, and whimpered, but didn't say a word.
I felt them fall to the backs of my knees, and before and Dimitri moved me forward so that I was positioned over only one of his knees, and his other one was covering my legs.
I cried into his pant leg, and he began to bring the brush down once again, only this time over my bare bottom.
About 1 and half minutes later I was sobbing again, and begging him to stop.
He stopped again, "I don't want to do this Rose, but this is your last chance. If you don't tell me, I'm going to go get one of my belts."
The breath wheezed out of me for a moment, and I bit my lip.
"3,2-"
"Because, I-I-…"
"You…" He prompted.
"I hate…me." I whispered.
He practically froze,
"This is the only thing I have control over. I'm making everyone else's lives hard, just to make mine better. You should all have just let me die." I murmured.
"Careful." Dimitri growled, "You're on thin ice Rose. I will paddle you again."
I swallowed nervously, "You're serious." He whispered when I didn't say anything else.
He pulled my panties back up, allowing me to keep some of my modesty, and I stood, he kept hold of my wrist, and stood, staring down at me, I squirmed beneath his gaze.
"Rose…" He murmured, I looked away as the tears filled my eyes, but he took my chin in his fingers again and turned my eyes towards his,
"You're right. You do have control over things like this, but when it starts to hurt you…I'll step in, like I have tonight. I will every night if you continue to fight me, do you understand me?" He asked.
I blanched at the thought of a spanking from him every night.
"Everynight…" I murmured, "Why do you care?"
I felt him tense, "Why do you think I care?" He asked softly.
"I don't know…" I whispered.
He tilted my chin up again, "Do you really believe that?" He asked.
I nodded after a second.
"What have I done to you?" He whispered. I looked up quickly, confused.
"What do you mean?" I whispered.
"I lied to you Rose. I've lied to you all along."
Now, I was more confused than ever, "About what?" I asked.
He smiled gently,
"You're so naïve sometimes, that's why I love you so much." He said running his thumb over my cheek."
My breath caught in my throat, "You love me?" I whispered.
He nodded, "I do."
"I love you too." I whispered.
He smiled gently, "You won't for the next few days." He said remorsefully.
"Oh no…" I whispered. "What're you going to do?"
"I want you eating 3 meals a day, snacks in between."
My eyes widened, "No, no way." I protested.
"Rose." He warned. "You know the consequences."
He gave me a small smile,
"Sorry. But, they're nonnegotiable."
I squirmed, "This is so not fair."
And he nodded, "No. It's not."
