Chapter Thirteen
When Parents Tell You to Share, I don't think this is What They Meant
*~Nightly~*
Alice awoke to a poke in the foot. she groaned snuggled closer into her 'pillow'.
"Noooo..." She groaned as the poking continued. "aw! Kapad go away!"
The imp grinned and disappeared. "Jerk..."
She moved to snuggle deeper into her pillow when she realized that it was breathing. Looking up she saw Janus' sleeping face. She turned beet red and moved to inch out of the bed but at that moment Kapad reappeared and decided to have some more fun. Using magic, he gave the two fledglings a hard push knocking then off the bed.
"AAAAHHHH!" Alice screamed as she went crashing into Janus and then taking him to the floor, landing on top of him. "Ooooowwww..."
"WHaow!" Jake looked up, dazed. "Umm..." His mouth opened wide in surprise. He breathed in deeply, and smelt... her, he realized. It was her he smelt. He swallowed nervously, and blushed hard. "Uh...uh-huh..." He stuttered. "D-did... you, um... sleep okay?" He realized that while one hand was on the ground, the other was still around her waist. He nervously lifted it, and put it on the ground too.
She rubbed her head a bit before looking at Janus.
"You oka..." She blushed at him, the way they looked, it didn't look very innocent.
"Umm..." The boy froze, not really sure how he should get up. ...or if he wanted to, really.
Alice was frozen in place herself. Although she knew about sex, she had never be intimate with anyone. It wasn't until she heard Kapad laughing at them that she snapped out of it.
"Kapad tell Master. Little one naughty!" It took of running laughing and yelling over and over. "Kapad tell! Kapad tell!"
"That little!" Alice quickly got off Janus and looked torn between going after Kapad or apologizing to Janus. So she did both. "I'm so sorry! KAPAD YOU LITTLE PAIN IN THE ASS I'M GONNA KILL YOU I SWEAR IT!"
She tore after him, down the halls.
"Uh... hey! Wait up!" Janus pulled himself to his feet, tugged the dumb sweatpants up a little so he wouldn't trip on them, and tore down the hall after the imp. 'Little one naughty' it had grunted. Well, to Janus, that sounded like he was being made fun of. "Little one my ass." He grumbled, reaching out, trying to use a manipulation spell to hit the imp, and stop its running. Kapad, of course, just happened to be running past a suit of armor, and no sooner had he and Alice passed it, than Janus' spell went flying in exactly the wrong direction, and tipped it over.
CRASH!
Janus leaped over the suit, too intent on ripping the imp's wings off and feeding them to it to care at the moment.
*~Nightly~*
Crash!
Alek looked up. Frowned. That sounded like it was downstairs... The vampire rose from his chair, and walked down to find the sound of trouble.
*~Nightly~*
"GET BACK HERE YOU LITTLE AHHH!" Alice yelled when she went skidding into a table because of a sharp turn. She didn't knock anything off but her hip bone felt the corner very well. "Owowow! I am so going to murder you, you little shit!"
"Go ahead you creepy shit! Call me little agai-whoa!" Janus lost his balance trying to accommodate for Alice's sudden turn, and when she went crashing into the ground, he tripped right over her, and fell over, their bodies criss-crossing each other like an X - each one of their faces pointed right at one of Alek's shoes.
She didn't care if she was swear at this point, she was just pissed. running as fast as she could, she leaped out and grabbed the little hell spawn by the tail, and landed hard on the floor.
"Got you!" she grinned only to get a raspberry blown in her face as it disappeared to reappear in front of Alek. "DAMN IT!"
Alek looked at the imp, and then at the two children yelling and hollering, sprawled out in front of him.
"Language. Running around like animals. Fighting..." Alek looked at the imp, which was chittering wildly in its language. "...using magic incorrectly..." Alek crossed his arms. "...that must have been quite the movie."
The man began tapping his foot, as Janus and Alice pulled each other to their feet. Janus lowered his head, ashamed, but then seemed to stiffen - as though he remembered that he got in trouble with an elder vampire all the time - and his eyes flashed as he looked up past Alek, waiting for an instruction.
Alek simply looked down at his Alice for now. "...what were you doing?"
"Getting ready to commit murder with as few witnesses as possibly," Alice growled while Kapad made faces at her. Alek gave her a look as if to say 'cut the sarcasm' and she looked away. "I kind of well fell asleep during the movie... on Janus... and when I woke up again that," she pointed at Kapad who quickly tried to look innocent. "thought it would be funny to send us crashing to the ground!"
She didn't want to say how she fell asleep on Janus nor how they landed.
"So now if you please. There's an imp that needs to die." She made a mad jump for Kapad whom just moved out of the way so she 'crashed' into Alek instead.
Alek promptly scooped her up, and kept her under one arm, while she tried to let him put her down.
"You're upset right now, Alice. I suggest you calm down."
Alek snapped the fingers on his free hand in Janus' face. Janus' eyes didn't move.
"When I'm talking to you, I expect you to look at me, Janus." Alek said, dryly.
Janus' eyes flashed up at Alek. "Apologies, sir."
"...and I'll not have that tone, boy." Alek added, reprimandingly.
Janus' eyes narrowed. "Boy, sir?"
"Yes. That's the tone. Get rid of it." Alek said, neutrally.
Janus' face tightened. Alek looked down at Alice, whose struggles had gotten to the point where she was now scratching at his arm to get off.
"Ah. So I have two little children with an attitude problem..."
Janus' fists balled up. He looked furious.
Alek's face turned on Janus, eyes flashing. "Yes, Janus. Two. Little. Children. It must be very easy for your Sire to get you upset when you demonstrate your little temper so easily, don't you?"
Alice was raging under Alek arm. Kapad was just out of reach and laughing about it. It was torture not being able to grab him and ripe him apart.
"Alek put me down!" She yelled unaware of how angry Janus was. She unconsciously elongated her nails to claws and dug them into Alek hand. "I'm gonna murder that little... little children!"
His words clicked in her brain and without a second though she twisted her head to look at him.
"Alek I am NOT a CHILD!" She roared and struggled harder. "Now put me DOWN!"
Alice's yelling set Janus off.
"SHUT! UP!" He charged the older man, fist raised, ready to punch him square in the-
...and then Janus was under Alek's other arm, and the man was calmly walking down the hall.
"Kapad? Fix the suit of armor, please. ...did you do that, Alice? That's horrible aim."
"LET ME GO! LET ME GO! LEEEET MEEE GOOOO!" Janus roared, kicking and thrashing.
"No." Alek said with a smile. "I'm afraid I'm going to have to do this far earlier than I thought I would... but it looks like you two are both a little too upset for me to talk to like adults right now... so I'm going to have to treat you like children... Come along..."
Alice felt her own ears go red when he asked her if the armor was her fault. Sure her aim was off but he knew she didn't dare do magic without help. She got utterly pissed at this point that all logic went out the window and took to Spain.
She started kicking and yelling at the top of her lungs, the noise along with Janus' seemed to echo loudly was they were carried. She would have been thankful that Janus was under his other arm so that he couldn't spank her as he walk along to wherever they were head, but she was too pissed to care at this point.
"Let. Me. GOO!" Alice yelled as loud as she could and turned her head, sinking her teeth into Alek' arm as hard as she could.
The girl's mouth closed around something that tasted remarkably like soap.
Alek smirked. He wasn't a master of the magical arts for nothing, after all. The summoned cake remained in her mouth for the rest of the walk up to Alice's room, where, with a nod of his hand, Alek began clearing floor space, pushing things against walls and making room for he and his straight-backed chair, which he sat in, dropping the two somewhat enraged but far more embarrassed children to the ground.
Alice gagged at the taste and shoot Alek a glare that could kill the moment she managed to free her teeth from the soap bar and spit it out on the floor. It landed with a heavy thud before sliding roughly across the floor about a foot, displaying a imprint of her teeth marks as if you mock her.
And she looked about ready to attack Alek too in retaliation.
"Don't get up. You'll regret it." Alek instructed.
Janus, remarkably, remained on the floor. His eyes glowed angrily.
"Now, which one of you is going over my knee first?" Alek asked, calmly.
She had never been to angry in her life at Kapad. Alek knew it loved to tease her and angry her and he was siding with it?! She foamed.
"Alek you can't be serious!" She yelled pointing at Kapad who was still watching them with amusement. "He started it and you know it!"
She couldn't believe how childish it came out. It sounded worse then the time when Mikeal had gotten Aleksandr to 'shrink' her, and yet somehow that little voice of reason seemed to be buried under her angry.
"you're being unfair!" Alice yelled and stood up before her brain could scream at her 'don't!'.
"No, Alice. What I'm being is to-the-point. You're proving that you're in a very bratty mood right now, so I'm being... ruthlessly efficient. How does that sound?" He frowned. "The last thing I wanted to do was to spank either one of you, and make this awkward. Luckily, you can both hate me together, now, because I'm about to tan both your bums for acting like a pair of monkeys. Just because you're wearing sweatpants doesn't mean you aren't expected to act like a lady. Why do you think I want you in skirts? Hm? Its a good reminder! ...as for this..."
Aleksandr tugged Alice over his lap before the girl could even manage to open her eyes in surprise, and waved his fingers. As her sweatpants roll down her legs, she felt a strange tingling - her bottom has been completely healed - and Janus' too...
'Oh sh-!' It was all Alice's mind managed to process before Aleksandr had her pinned over his lap once more.
"Well, we're going to give you both a fresh start with a newly-pinkened bottom. Janus? I'm going to ask you to get up and get the hairbrush on the table in a few minutes, so get ready, okay?"
SMACK!
Alice yelped as her toes curled in surprise and reared up. Or at lest she tried.
"OW! ALEK!" She glared at him and fought harder to push of him. "No! Stop it!"
She wasn't happy to say the lest. She kept telling herself in her mind that she was too old for this and he was being completely unreasonable.
"Let me go!" She yelled this time setting her claws into his leg on purpose. "Let me go NOW!"
"No."
SMACK! SMACK! SMACK! SMACK!
To preserve modesty, Aleksandr was at least beginning on the girl's panties, but he was wondering whether or not Janus was even thinking of the fact that the girl might be bared soon.
Janus was blushing, looking up at Alice's face, still on the ground, as Alek smacked away.
...so the answer was yes.
"Janus?"
"S-sir...?" Alek smirked. He already sounded small. Or was that just him giving Alek what he wanted?
"Sit on the bed. Directly behind the two of us."
"...yes, sir." Janus sat down, staring at the back of Alek's head.
'Thank you Janus."
SMACK! SMACK! SMACK!
"OW! OW! OW!" Alice struggled harder to get away from Alek and his hand. She hadn't noticed that her panties were still up until she heard Janus' name and 'behind us'. "What OWW! Alek NO! Stop it!"
She threw an arm back to try and either grab his hand or protect her rear while her legs got tangled in her pants. She had a feeling she knew where this was going and she didn't like it.
"AWWWWWAH!" She cried out trying to twist free.
Aleksandr not only grabbed her wrist, putting it against the small of her back, he also (prematurely) bared her bum, and continued spanking without stopping his pattern.
This evening's spanking was a steady one, quick of pace, but not very hard... it was almost embarrassing - or maybe more embarrassing - than his usual spankings, because the lightness of it suggested that Alice would be over his lap longer than usual... which, of course, she didn't want.
SMACK! SMACK! SMACK!
Alice shrieked when she felt her panties join her sweats.
"Alek! NOT In front of Janus!" She felt tears gather in her eyes from the embarrassment. She wanted to cover her bottom but with one hand in front of her blocked by Alek' body and the other pinned to her back, she couldn't do a thing. "PleaseAAAWWWW! OUCH! OWWW!"
"Janus. I know you're being a gentleman and respecting Alice's privacy..."
Which Janus was. Sort of.
"So I will ask you to go to the night table, and bring me the brush."
SMACK! SMACK! "You've been misbehaving Alice, and, more importantly, you're getting self-important. I'm doing this now so you two won't give me attitude later. You two need to remember that you're still learning, and you're in my house, and you're following my rules!"
Alek took the brush, and Janus sat back down in the same place he was before, respecting Alice's privacy.
Sort of.
"Is that understood?"
"Alek, please AWE!," Alice looked unhappily at him, her face covered in a blush of embarrassment "Not with EEE! Janus right here." The look she received told her it wasn't what he wanted to hear. "Yes Sir. It's understood."
She tried to tug her hand free from the small of her back and that she could cover her face. She wished there was a hole she could crawl into and die. It was bad enough that Janus had seen her spanked more then once but now with him behind her... and after using him as a pillow and falling on him?!
She almost wished he had shrunk her instead. Keyword almost.
"Good."
Alek brought the brush down.
WHACK! WHACK! WHACK! WHACK! WHACK! WHACK! WHACK!Pretty hard. Well, if Alice had been a ten year old girl, it would have been hard. As it was, it was getting her pink - slowly - but it wasn't doing much else.
"You act like a child, you get treated like a child, Alice - and I'm going to be spanking you until you're crying like a child You understand me?"
"EEEEOUCH!" Alice cried out at the top of her lungs. "Yes! I understand sir! AAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWEEEE!"
She kicked her legs violently and used her free hand to grip the chair leg. "OUCHIE!"
She focus her eyes on a spot on the floor, she couldn't look at Janus. This was embarrassing on so many levels. Janus was behind her and he could see her bare turning very pink bottom.
'I'm not here. I am not HERE!' She chanted in her head, hoping it would help her.
"Good girl. I love you, Alice. I'm sorry that you've misbehaved - I wish I didn't have to do this."
WHACK! WHACK! WHACK! WHACK! WHACK!Janus watched, eyes wide. He couldn't see Janus' face from where he was, but he could hear his voice... what he was saying. Sure, watching Alice get spanked was where he wanted to have his attention, but... the man cared.
WHACK! WHACK! WHACK! WHACK! WHACK!
Alice started to cry. She really wished she knew how to disappear at that moment.
"AAAAAAWWWWEEEE!" She wailed and kicked her feet in pain. "Alek I'M SORRY!"
Alek ignored her, of course. She wasn't even red yet. "You're going to be sorry for a while, Alice. We have a long way to go...
WHACK WHACK WHACK
"Noooo!" She cried and strained in his hold. "AAAAAWWW!"
Even if he wasn't hitting her hard with the brush it still hurt.
WHACK WHACK WHACK WHACK ... WHACK WHACK WHACK WHACK
Five minutes. Janus shook his head, amazed. He'd been spanking her for five whole minutes, nonstop. A spank every second. For five. whole. minutes.
Alice was hyperventilating. It wasn't pain educed, she was just embarrassed because for the first time in her life she actually read someone's thoughts. It was only for a second and she couldn't remember how but she did.
'I want to die!' She yelled in her head. "A-Alek...I...I c...ca...can't..."
She was crying thought. She could feel it as she stopped kicking her legs and just accepted the long trip over Alek' knee.
Finally, Alek stopped. He lowered the brush, picked up Alice, and held her tight. As always. "I love you, Alice. You're a good girl. I love you - I'm sorry you had to be embarrassed, I'm sorry you're in pain, but I love you, okay?"
Alice crying into his shoulder, hiding her face from Janus. She managed to calm her breathing down enough so that she could talk again although she had gotten the hic-ups along the way.
"I (hic) kn-know..." She answered and held him close. She knew he wasn't like Razziel who used cruelty to teacher. He never would, but she wished he hadn't.
"Shhh... good girl, Alice. good girl..." He rubbed her back softly, waiting for her to calm down.
Janus paled. ...he was next.
Alice held Alek close as she calmed down enough so that she was just sniffles and hic-ups.
"I'm sorry, Alek."
"Me too, Alice." He holds her close. "...you need to go sit on the bed now, like Janus did. Janus? Come here."
Janus rose, legs shaky, and stood before Aleksandr-who immediately tugged the boy over his lap, pulled down his sweats, and began spanking.
Alice rose gingerly, pulled up her sweats and walked passed Janus, giving him a reassuring smile. A spanking from Alek hurt, but she some how knew that it was no where near as painful as a spanking from Razziel.
"You'll be okay..." She whispered before taking a seat and looking directly at her hands in her lap.
Janus did not like the feeling of being over someone's lap. He certainly didn't like having his pants down, but the worst part about it was that it was really hard for him to keep his head up, and stare at the wall, the way he did when he was caned or strapped.
The spanking was annoying. It kept coming - Aleksandr was talking about all kinds of things, but really, Janus was just trying to keep staring at the wall.
"...I know you're hurting, Janus... I know you're confused about where you are, and about how your master teaches you..."
Alice kept her eyes on her hands. She didn't know Janus had looked at her when she was over Alek' knee but she didn't feel right look at him.
...
'Maybe just a peek...' She glance up and blushed to his bare bottom.
Its been two minutes. Janus thought. Aleksandr had already moved past the hand-spanking, and was using the brush now. He still hadn't made a sound.
The brush was nothing like the cane.. there were no welts. No marks. Just this awful sting, that felt like it was crawling up his spine into his heart.
"Janus... you're allowed to cry."
WHACK! WHACK! WHACK! WHACK! WHACK!
The boy said nothing, only waited for the spanking to be over... sooner or later, they all ended...
Alice gulped as she watched Janus getting spanked.
'I can't believe he's not making any sound through this...' She thought and then looked at her hands for a second. 'He's younger then me and yet he takes a spanking without any fuss... maybe, i am just weak..."
"Janus... Janus... You know why I'm spanking you, Janus?"
"...because I've angered you, sir."
"No, Janus."
The boy said nothing, and the hairbrush kept falling.
"...because you've made me sad, Janus. When you came, you were a very respectful young man. After the movie, what did I see you doing? Running down hallways, cursing, breaking things..."
"I'm spanking you because sometimes, a child needs to be corrected - needs to be reminded that they don't always know what they are doing, and need to listen to their elders..."
"That wasn't his fault or mine!" Alice chimmed in but fell back meekly and looked at her hands again and muttered. "Kapad started it..."
Janus' mouth tensed, and he said nothing.
"I know Kapad started it, Alice, but a real Lady would have accepted the fact that Kapad is a silly imp, and that anything it does, you cannot pay it back for."
"Janus?" Aleksandr continued his hair-brushing. The boy's cheeks were a solid pink color.
"...yes, Lord Aleksandr?"
"Do you agree with me? That children need to be corrected?"
"No sir. I'm not a child."
"...do you know why you're getting this spanking?"
"Because you're angry. Like I said before."
"...and I told you that wasn't true. No, now I'm spanking you because I need you to cry, Janus. I need you to cry like a little boy, until you realize you're still a child - and that you're allowed to make mistakes, and that it isn't all your fault."
Alice winced at his answer. "Janus, Alek never punishes anyone in anger..." 'This is going to hurt... a lot.'
Alek spanked Janus for another three minutes. Then stopped.
Janus sighed with relief.
...then Aleksandr started spanking him again - with his hand. Just as fast, and just as hard as before.
"What?"
"I'm not counting swats, Janus. I'm waiting for a reaction. I'm going to spank you until you're crying like a little boy." Aleksandr said, calmly, bringing his hand down in that steady pattern.
"You-NO! I'm not going to cry!"
"Yes. You don't have a choice."
….and Aleksandr spanked. …and spanked… and spanked…
"You're going to cry because it's alright to cry, Janus. Alice cried. Mikeal Dornnell cried when he was a fledgling. I cried when I was over my sire's knee. You're going to cry, because you have been a naughty little boy – and you need to be corrected. Because you have misbehaved, and you need to want to be corrected."
"You aren't making any-ugh!-sense!"
Aleksandr repeated the same phrase he had for so many of Alice's spankings. "You are forgiven, and you are welcomed in this house. I am not going to abandon you, I am not upset with you, and I am here for you. It hurts because I am willing to make it hurt- and I will be here whenever you are hurting to do all I can to fix it."
Janus said nothing. The man kept spanking.
Alice watched the two with wide eyes. She remembered Alek saying that to her so many times she had lost count and every time he did, it gave her a sense of peace.
"It's alright Janus," she said to him. "No one is going to laugh or mock you for it. It's actually nice to cry every now and then..."
"SHUT! UP!" Janus howled.
WHACK!Aleksandr picked up the brush, and brought it down on Janus' red cheeks. Already, he was, no question, a well-spanked young man. The next step was the important one - making him a well-spanked little boy.
WHACK! WHACK! WHACK! WHACK!
"LEMME GO! I'M SORRRY!" The boy roared.
"Thank you, Janus. Thank you for apologizing."
WHACK! WHACK WHACK!"OW! Why are you doing this to me? AH!" The boy's face was bright red, his breathing was getting ragged, but his eyes - they were still full of that same anger they held for Razziel's cane.
Alice winced at the yelling and rubbed her bottom in silence as she watched them. The whole spanking reminded her for her first spanking from Alek, how she was angry even frightened, and yet Alek was calm and caring, saying that he wouldn't stop until she cried.
'how much long are you going to spank him, Alek?' she thought. 'He's turning red.'
As long as he needs me to... "Because I'm concerned. I need you to learn your lesson, Janus."
"NO! You're lying! Oww! OWW! OWWW!"
The boy kicked hard, for the first time. Aleksandr capitalized.
WHACK! WHACK! WHACK! WHACK! WHACK! WHACK! WHACK! WHACK!
"Why? You've misbehaved, haven't you?"
"YESS! I"M SORRRRRY!"
"Then I'm within my rights to spank you as long as I want!"
WHACK! WHACK! WHACK! WHACK! WHACK!
Alice cringed at the sound but made sure to make room for Janus if he wanted to lie down in the bed after Alek was finished with him. She returned her eyes to her hands and then to Alek' face. There was no anger or disappointment in his eye, no malice or hate.
'Of course there isn't...' Alice thought to herself and smiled to herself. ' There never has been.'
She let her thoughts fall into silence as she waited for the 'storm' to past.
The storm, unfortunately, continued for about a minute, before Janus' protests turned into one long wail. His eyes dimmed, now full of tears, as the boy kicked and sobbed over Alek's lap, unable to do anything, finally, but hang limp and cry.
"Janus..."
Aleksandr scooped the boy up, and held him tight, letting the young fledgling cry over his shoulder. Janus found himself looking right at Alice, crying and blushing all the harder. "I'm... s-sorry... m'lord..." The boy gasped, "A-a-Alekssandr..."
"I know, Janus." He held the boy tight, putting a hand softly on his back. "I'm sorry too."
Alice gave him a soft smile before she got up off her bed and slowly walked out her door, closing it. She felt that Janus probably wanted privacy with Aleksandr without a set of extra eyes. She walked down the the ballroom and entered the room listening to the sound of the rain on the window.
'15 minutes...'she thought as she gently sat down that ran her fingers along the keys. '15 minutes and I'll rejoin them...'
She set about playing the piano, not playing any real melody that she had learned.
Janus' first session over-the-knee left the boy completely drained. He held tight to Aleksandr and cried for a good five minutes after Alice left, before calming down, and pulling himself off of the man's lap.
"Ugh.." Janus pulled up his sweatpants with a groan, and bowed. "Th-thank you, Aleksandr... I-"
Aleksandr knelt down from the chair, and gave the boy another hug. "You are welcome, young Janus. You... have a very tough rear, boy."
"...no sir, that's just my pride." Janus said, blushing softly.
"Well, either way, it becomes you. Come on-I'll take you to one of the bathrooms, let you pull yourself together."
"Thank you, sir."
Janus got himself cleaned up, and he and Aleksandr walked down to the ballroom, one sheepish, one proud, and met with Alice.
Alice in the mean time had found several cries that sounded nicely together and started to softly sing to herself. It reminded her of the song 'Once Upon a December' and was singing it softly under her breath.
She stopped playing though when she saw Alek and Janus, blushing to herself. There were certain things she was still shy about, singing was one of them.
"Hey guys," She greeted meekly. "Ho... how are you."
Janus nodded, still blushing. "Um... b-better, I think..." He rubbed the back of his head, nervously. "I... I kinda hope I never get in trouble with Master Razziel again..." He smiled a little. "You think you could both move to our manor, and you could punish me whenever my sire would?"
Both laughed a little.
"No," Aleksandr said with a grin, "..but if you'd like - and if you're a bit calmer now, I think... would you two like to play a bit of music with me?"
"Umm, sure... I guess." Alice looked between Janus and Alek. "What do you want us to play?"
She gestured towards the piano and the violins
Alek smiled, and gestured to the bookshelf, which slid out a few sheets of music. "Something different. Not very hard, especially after what I've been teaching you Alice."
He joined her at the piano, and waited for Janus to get settled. The boy blushed. "I'm... Um... Not very good at the violin..."
"...but better than Alice, we're sure." Alek quipped. "Take your time - learn the piece."
All three softly began to get used to their parts, with Alek coaching - it was simpler than other pieces Alice had learned, and she was surprised to see how quickly she could pick up the leading melody, which was what she was playing.
Alice allowed her hands the dancing up and down the keys, drinking in the sound of the music as it felled her being. It was times like this that she understood Alek' love of music. When she had lived with her parents, back when she was human, they never played anything together. They were a typical modern family, never ate together, and never really 'talked' together. When they did, it was always yelling...
She suddenly froze in her movement.
'That's right... I got into a fist fight with them...' She thought before she realized that she had stopped and quickly re-continued playing. "Sorry."
"Its alright, Alice. You two are doing very well..."
"I think I've heard this song before." Janus admitted. As Alek had said, it was easier than what either of them had been playing. Janus was smiling, not worrying when he made mistakes this time, even if violin mistakes were usually pretty nasty. "What's up, Alice?" he asked.
Alice focused her attention on the piano but her thoughts remained on her past. She kept her eyes on the keys.
"It's... it's nothing..." She answered and cracked her neck with a quick jerk of the head. "Just... couldn't make out the notes all of a sudden..."
She didn't sound convincing, not even to herself. but she kept playing.
"Oh." Janus squeaked at a note the wrong way, and jumped a little. "Uh, oops." He kept playing, too, and eventually the trio warmed up again, making that beautiful sound.
Her playing started to slow the longer she thought about it. Her memory of the night she had been turned was still very shattered but a few more pieces came together.
"I punched him..." She breathed as she recalled the fight better. "He didn't like all the dark stuff in my room so I hit him..."
*~Nightly~*
Author: Oh sweet heavens above, has it been a while. This is why I never promise a specific time period of when I'll update folks. So what has been happening. Well, I got a boyfriend, I've been in my practical which was short of a trip threw hell, been busy with school and my printer decided to pull a kamikaze on my laptop so I had to reinstall windows on it... yeah... that was fun. At least it's Win 7 and not 8. Lord, who came up with that idea.
Again, thank you the people who reviewed, I love hearing what people think but again I don't fish for compliments. From what I can see, it seems to get the trolls out the wood makes and I really refuse to feed talentless hacks with any attention. For others out there, just do the same, they are like those little yipping dogs that always bark and 3 in the morning.
My practical was pretty fun despite being stressful. It turns out in Denmark the first practical, it's when we get sent out to a school to get our first taste of what it's like to be teachers, they make us go in groups. My group consisted of me and three other guys. Now these guys are... well, they aren't bad people, but I have never been so stressed out in my life. I'm by nature a night-owl. I like the dark and still of the night. But when I have stuff I know that needs to be done for the next day and it dictates I have to be up early, by golly night owl or not, I do go to bed on time and get up on time. The practical was 5 weeks and maybe three times did they show up on time if at all. I stopped sleeping for four days. Four days! You do not wanna know the shit I say and see when I'm REM deprived. Thank goodness I'm in a new group so hopefully it will all work out. Not even sure how serious those guys are, they barely show for class.
Oh well, to hell with them, no?
About Alek's spanking the kids together. Despite them being teenagers, remember that to Alek, Alice and Janus are just babies. There's nothing sexual meant by it and if Janus had made a comment like that, Aleksandr would probably beat him to pulp. All he wanted to do was knock Alice a few pegs down before she got to big for her britches.
Anyways, hope you all enjoy the chapter.
