She sat on the bed, then lifted the boy onto her lap. She pinned his hands to his back, then tugged his green shorts down again.

"NO! This is the third one!" he shrieked, kicking his legs as hard as he could.

Nabooru pinned his legs under one of her own, holding him immobile. Then another gerudo came in, handing her a leather strap.

Link's eyes bulged and he shreiked as he saw the leather strap change hands. "NO! Not that! I'll sit in the corner! I'll hold water jugs! Or just the brush! Not that, PLEASE!" he begged, squirming around as much as he could.

"Hush!" Nabooru ordered. "Those horses are our livelyhood. Our lives depend on them. You put all of us at risk."

With that, she brought the strap down across Link's bottom. CRACK! A red strip appeared across the pink skin.

"OOOOOOOOOW!" he howled, squirming as much as he could in her tight hold. The tears came instantly as he began to sob.

CRACK! A second strip of red appeared below the first as Nabooru swung the strap.

Link wailed at the top of his lungs and gave up arguing as he continued to wriggle about, desperate to escape the burn of the strap.

Nabooru aimed the third stroke to touch the top of his sitspots, also biting between his cheeks. CRACK!

Link screeched and gave one last desperate buck to attempt to escape the buring strap.
