Hey guys! Finally my exams are over and I don't have to think about my ex anymore!

I'm posting this chapter today, because otherwise you would have to wait even longer! I'm not really happy about how it turned out to be, I changed a lot and added some parts ... but you'll find out for yourself!

He put her in a corner. He put her in a freakin' corner. Like a five-year-old. And she was still standing there after 23 minutes and 48 seconds. So she was in deep shit.

Maddie was sorry for doing this to her parents, she really was, she probably wouldn't like it if anyone did that to her. But standing in a corner? Seriously?

And her parents were probably talking to Edward right now, who more or less witnessed everything.

Bad news.

Carlisle had been really really mad, so what would he do now?

The door to Maddie's room opened and in walked Carlisle.

Oh no...

"Madeline," he said, "come." She slowly turned around and looked very unsure of what to do. But she wouldn't be safer in that corner, now would she?

"Come sit with me." He sat down on the bed and waited for his daughter to join him. She took her time but eventually sat down next to her father, who looked calm and controlled again.

"Your mother and I talked to Rosalie and Edward," he informed her.

Maddie looked up at him for a short moment, then down at her hands.

"Rosalie is sorry for striking you."

The girl nodded her head.

"She really hopes you can forgive her."

She nodded again.

He sighed. "Madeline, this is not the end of the world."

"But you hate me now," she whispered.

"No, nobody hates you and no amount of mischief would ever make us hate you."

"Do you kick me out?" she asked.

"Where do you get these ideas from? No! We are not sending you away. Why would we do something horrible like that? You are our daughter."

She looked not convinced.

Then it dawned on him. She got sent away when she was still human. Her mother and her new husband practically shooed her out of the house. If they wouldn't have died in the fire, he really would have been tempted to kill them himself.

"Madeline, please banish these thoughts from your head forever." Carlisle did not want for his daughter to ever think about them like that. She still did not fully trust them, he figured, and it hurt him to know.

"But you were so mad," she said and stared at the ground, unblinking, as if replaying in her head what had happened in this room half an hour ago.

"I was angered by what you did, yes. And I apologise for scaring you, I should not have yelled. It was wrong of me," Carlisle apologised to her, but she did not say anything in return.

Carlisle sighed, maybe a new habit of his. "Sweetheart, you are still very young and therefore make mistakes. That is to be expected. And you should keep in mind that everybody makes mistakes. Your siblings had difficulties as well after they were changed."

"They did?" That was news to Maddie.

"Did you really think anyone passed the first years without raising trouble?"

She smirked and shook her head, then said, "But it's been almost three years."

"So? It takes time to adapt. And in addition you have a very special gift. I can understand that it might be very tempting for you to use it in order to get your will or to get out of trouble."

"I didn't ask for it." She really didn't, she didn't even ask to be changed!

Maddie liked her gift though ... she honestly enjoyed using it. It was great playing others like puppets, making them do whatever she wanted, erasing their memories about things that happened. The feeling of power that flowed through her while she planted thoughts and ideas in people's heads was amazing. But most of the time it brought trouble. Having a family with as much life experience and additionally gifted siblings made it next to impossible to do anything without them noticing.

"I know, but you have it and it is a part of you," her father stated.

"Then why is it wrong of me to use it if it's a part of me?" Honestly, why do you even have a gift if you cannot use it to your advantage?

"It depends on how you use it, you know that."

"Edward and Alice use their abilities all the time, and they are never in trouble because of it." Maddie sulked.

"They are not able to control others and you can actively choose to use your gift. Alice can't help having visions, and Edward does try not to listen in on people's thoughts. And the fact that you are in trouble today is not just because of using your ability. It is primarily because you destroyed your books. If you hadn't done it in the first place, you wouldn't have felt the need to manipulate your mother and me."

"No, primarily it is because you send me to a stupid school with stupid teachers."

"Please Madeline, you are about to make this whole ordeal much worse, for you and for me. Education is necessary, and I will not remove you from this school."

"But -" "No!" he interrupted.

"Fine ..."

"Now, I think it is time to talk about your punishments."

"Punishments?" Maddie asked, laying emphasis on the 's'.

"Indeed. I have chastised you before for misusing your gift and now I see that I have to do it again."

"It was an accident!" she tried to argue her way out of it.

"Was it?" he asked, 'sceptical' written all over his face.

"I ... well, it just happened!"

"Madeline, you decided to use it on your mother and I in order to get out of trouble, did you not?"

"You make it sound like I planned it ...," Maddie accused.

"I want to find out the truth. Tell me how it happened," her father replied.

"I just panicked." Brilliant explanation.

"And the only thing that came to your mind was to blame Edward and make us clean up?"

She just shrugged her shoulders.

"That is not a proper answer. And to me it sounds like you gave it a thought and then decided that this was the best way to evade trouble ... and cleaning up as well." Carlisle did not sound as calm as before anymore.

Shit.

He then added, "You made the decision to plant these thoughts into our heads, and that is exactly what I am going to punish you for."

"I'm sorry," Maddie mumbled. Well, what else could she say now?

"For using your ability on your mother and I you will receive a spanking, Madeline."

Oh, biiig surprise.

"Tomorrow you will receive another one for destroying the books that you desperately need for studying." Desperately, are you sure about that?

"No, please! Two is a bit much, don't you think?" Maddie tried.

"Madeline. You have shown me repeatedly that maybe we are not strict enough with you. And two separate corrections are definitely deserved after today's events, especially since I have to punish you again for misusing your gift."

"Not strict enough? I'm not allowed to do anything already! What's next? You gonna put a freakin' leash on me?"

"Watch your mouth, young lady. I do not wish to add any more chastisements, but I will if you keep up this attitude."

"Sorry," she murmured. In reality, she wasn't sorry. It WAS unfair, after all.

"I accept your apology. Now let us proceed. Stand up and unfasten your trousers."

Oh, hell.

"N-Now?" she asked hesitantly.

Carlisle raised one eyebrow while looking at her, but did not answer.

"Okay ..." She slowly stood up, sad that she could not sit anymore (and wouldn't for a while) and stall. She unzipped her jeans and reluctantly pushed them down to the undercurve of her behind.

Carlisle sighed. She always did that. So he pulled them down to her knees, and guided her over his lap. "Anything you would like to say before we begin?" he asked.

"... I'm sorry?" Maddie tried.

"Very well." Then he did something he had just once done before. He pulled down her panties to meet her jeans, and before she could protest, the smacking started.

Bare! Madeline could not believe he would do that to her! It was hurting so much more already, and it was humiliating!

"No, no, no, no, no! Daddy please, not bare! I'll be good!" she whined while Carlisle spanked her without missing a beat.

"I know," he answered and kept on peppering up her little bottom.

This was much, much worse. And it was longer, too. After two dozen smacks, he raised his knee to gain better access to Maddie's sit spots.

Worst part.

She screamed, she begged, she sobbed. All to no avail.

After the last six smacks to her sit spots, he stopped. Maddie did not realise that it was over - she was too busy crying her eyes out.

"Shh sweetheart, it is all over. You're forgiven. Calm down, shhh," Carlisle told his daughter lovingly and then tried to, carefully, pull her panties back over her rosy behind. Yes, she had been hunting this morning.

She hissed and growled, but calmed when they were set in place. It burned like hell, but she could not walk around naked, now could she?

When she made to stand up, her father asked "Wait, what about your jeans?" But she just kicked them off. "I-I don't w-wanna wear them any-anymore," was her reply and it sounded like she had hiccups.

"You don't have to, I understand," Carlisle told her and helped her stand up. Then he hugged her close, with one hand on the back of her head, pressing her to himself. He obviously needed the comfort, maybe even more than she did.

"Th-that was ho-horrible!" she wailed.

"It was for both of us. So please, please do not make me do that again. My old heart cannot take much more," he said and she looked up at him with a little smile on her lips.

"Daddy, your heart's not even beating."

Carlisle chuckled. It was remarkable how fast his daughter could 'forget' about her punishment. But it was remarkable, too, how fast she could earn herself one.

"Hey Dad ... don't you think this was enough? I can't even move without hurting." She looked at him with puppy dog eyes.

"I'm sorry sweetheart, but I will not lessen your punishment. You need to learn."

"I know that what I did was wrong ..."

"Then why did you do it in the first place? No, you will receive another spanking tomorrow and then we can leave it all behind. Chin up princess, it'll be over fast," he said while cupping her cheek in his hand.

"Can I lie down?" she sounded tired, even though it wasn't possible for a vampire to ever tire.

"Sure sweetie, let me help you," he said and guided her over to the big bed. She lay down - on her stomach, of course - and he gave her a pillow for her to rest her head on. Carlisle softly stroked his daughter's hair and asked, "Do you want Mom to come upstairs? Or I'll stay with you, maybe Rose -"

"No, I'm fine. I just need some time alone right now, ok Daddy?"

"Of course. Tell me if you need anything," he said and she nodded her head in response. Carlisle gave her a kiss on the head, then walked over to the door and left the room.

TBC...

There you go! I don't feel good about posting this but ... I try to do better with the next chapter!

Review and tell me what you think!
