Nightly Lessons Book I: The Book of Beginnings

[Peeker]

"WATCH your language, girl!" Aleksandr roared, the air seeming to bend around him and thrust him forward to keep right up against her. His hands squeezed down onto her shoulders, and held her tightly. "You may be a Harker, but you are mine."

The girl's wrist was tightly gripped, and she was pulled over to her bed and sat on the man's lap. He held her tightly. "...you can keep the damned garment but by all the Nine Hells, you aren't going to wear it. Hang it on a wall! Give it to Klonoa! ...but you will not wear it!" He once again met her eyes, denying her bright blue outrage purchase. "...I told you I do not accept this attitude, Alice. I do not. ...are you going to dismiss the fucking House of Rastline at the Festival? Hm? Are we something you can brush aside?! I am tired of your attitude, Miss Harker. You are in the wrong, and you know it.... so what do you propose I do about that, hm?"

His mind was on edge. Nine times out of ten, he would have let her go so both could let their tempers flare and cool down... but this... here... now... No. He was upset at himself for letting her take so many liberties. ...and this was the result.

Alice barely managed to gasp as Aleks literally zoomed from a few feet away from her to right up in her face. She flinched when his hand firmly gripped her shoulder, a ghost of a whimper escaping her lips at the sudden pressure on the stiff muscle. Terrorizing didn't even describe Aleks in the moment. He was beyond that.

"WATCH your language, girl! You may be a Harker, but you are mine."

"Aleks you're hurting me," She squirmed under his hold, the pain of him declaring she was his clear in her eyes. The way he said it, to her, sounded like she was some sort of property. An object that he had complet control over. "Aleks let go-ah!"

She stumbled as he pulled her over to the bed, and pulled her to sit on his lap. The moment she had sat down however she struggled to stand up wanting distance between herself and her Sire rather then closeness.

"...you can keep the damned garment but by all the Nine Hells, you aren't going to wear it. Hang it on a wall! Give it to Klonoa! ...but you will not wear it!"

"It's my fucking right to wear what I want, Aleks!" Alice struggled harder in the elder's iron grip. It was different from normal. Normally she could move or make holding her difficult. This time she could barely move at all. "GRRRR LET ME GO!"

"...I told you I do not accept this attitude, Alice. I do not. ...are you going to dismiss the fucking House of Rastline at the Festival? Hm? Are we something you can brush aside?! I am tired of your attitude, Miss Harker. You are in the wrong, and you know it.... so what do you propose I do about that, hm?"

Had she not been as worked up as she currently was, it would have shooked her to hear Aleks swear. She would have thought the world was coming to an end. But she was upset, and angry. She growled in his hold, making Klo inch out of the room being nervous himself as to what was happening between the two.

"Let go damn it!" Alice wanted to bite Aleks more then anything. "I'm not a thing! I don't care about the stupid fucking festival or the Rastline House or you! Let me go!"

She was kicking hard by now, her rage preventing her from tapping into her abnormal strength, but her fangs were elongating. She was pissed and not afraid to show it.

[Peeker]

"Its like we're starting from square one again, Alice..." Aleksandr said, sadly. "I do not like it."

The girl was flipped over his lap, legs pinned, jeans lowered, and wrists held behind her back with immediate speed and centuries of experience to guide the man's actions. Her rage was apparent, as was Aleksandr's... but a worthy vampire recognized the limits of his patience, and did not exceed them. Rage led to madness, to slaughter, and to monstrous action. This was why Alice was still a child, and this was why the system of Fledglings and Sires was in place.

Aleksandr's voice was stunningly calm, again, as though taken from another time and place. "My dear... you are out of control, and you have forgotten your place... I will allow you to release your emotion before it consumes you, and I will let you know now that despite your harsh words, I do love you, and I care for you very much. ...I am sorry that we could not be more civil about this matter..."

SMACK!

"...but the discussion is now over."

The man's hand came down on the girl's lightly-covered rear with a stunning sound, and a sharp sting that covered her cheeks. Until he'd turned her away from her rage, he would not hold back: every stroke would cover both cheeks, and every stroke would count...

In the end, to a Vampire in control of a situation, everything is dealing with children. All are younger, all are more foolish, and all are less powerful.

...and Aleksandr's child had been very disobedient.

SMACK! CRACK! SMACK! WHAP! SLAP! SMACK! CRACK! WHACK!

[Kira_Wolf_Cub]

Alice strained in Aleks' holdas he turned her over his lap and her jeans instantly tucked down leaving her white pantie clab rear exsposed to to Aleks' hand. She moved to kick and hit Aleks with her legs and hands, but the second that she moved to do so, Aleks grasped her wrists and pinned then to the small of her back and threw a leg over hers so that she was pinned.

"My dear... you are out of control, and you have forgotten your place... I will allow you to release your emotion before it consumes you, and I will let you know now that despite your harsh words, I do love you, and I care for you very much. ...I am sorry that we could not be more civil about this matter..."

"I bloody well am not! You're the one that's being a complet prick about it!" Alice twisted with all her might in Aleks' hold, inwardly dreading what she knew was coming. It wasn't fair! "Damn it Aleks let me-"

SMACK!

"AHHH!" Alice shrieked as the abnormally firmed hand cracked across her bottom. "Aleks! That hurt!"

"...but the discussion is now over."

Alice growled in frustration for a moment only to cry out in pain as Aleks' hand decended hard only her cheeks. She cringed in the fast given pain and stared hatefully at the floor.

[Peeker]

Aleksandr's face remained passive as his new work began. As always, he monitored the child turned away from him - her heart, her mind, her emotions, her breathing... so much could go wrong. The enraged child needed release... unfortunately for her, she was in no position to choose what kind.

The inside of her thighs was a sharper pain in a more tender spot. The man gave each side half a dozen before returning to her sitspots.

SWAP SMACK CRACK! SLAP SMACK WHAP! SMACK! SLAP! CRACK! SMACK! SLAP!

[Kira_Wolf_Cub]

Alice could have held back the cry of pain even she had wanted to. Even a series of 'pats' on her thighs hurt so when Aleks landed six very well placed spanks to each of them on the inner side, Alice strained in his hold and yelled at the top of her lungs.

"Owww! Aleks not AHHHH! there!" Alice yelped and almost sighed in relief as he returned his attention to her sitting spots, keyward being almost. "OW! Aleks stop it!"

Her hands clenched as her feet drummed agains the floor. She was upset, angry, and hurt. It was visible, but underneither it all she felt guilty, not about the dress but about what she had yelled at Aleks. She felt like two years of work in building a relationship with him, to learn to trust him and talk and joke with him had been completely distoried over a childish remark of an angry teenager.

But this was on the inside, the outside only showed a willful, stubborn brat of a teen being pissed about being turned across her sire's knee and getting her rear tanned. Wanting to save some pride, Alice bite into her lip to keep quiet and only give muffled 'ow' when the hand hit a exstremely sensitive spot of her bottom.

[Peeker]

Aleksandr's lip curled slightly, into a triumphant - and relieved - smile. His good little Alice was somewhere underneath that adolescent pride.

"Stop what?" The man returned to the girl's thighs, though at half-speed, now. "I just heard my apologetic little Alice under all that attitude... I think she's in here somewhere, and I need to get her out!" He once again had a naughty and repenting little girl over his lap, judging from the drumming feet and sounds of discomfort. His little Alice was here, and was sorry.. he just needed to get rid of the mistakes she'd made, that were hiding her from him.

SWAP! SMACK! SWAP! SWAP! SMACK! CRACK!

"Speak up, Alice. I can't hear you. ...what's wrong? ....you know you can tell me..."

SMACK! SWAT! CRACK! SLAP! SMACK! WHACK! CRACK! SMACK!

[Kira_Wolf_Cub]

Alice felt her fang peirce her lips the moment her thighs became his target again and cried out. It hurt, alot! Her feet jerked upwards and would have kicked full on out had Aleks' leg not blocked her from doing so. Even her claws exspended and cut into her palms as she struggled to twist away from Aleks' hand.

"OOOOWWWWW!" She cried out and cringed hard over his lap. "STOP IT! IT AAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWEEEEE HURTS!"

She wasn't gonig to appologies, she refused to. She wasn't little, no matter what he said and she would be damned if she didn't prove it.

[Peeker]

"Its supposed to hurt, young lady!" The man said, returning to her sitspots. "It is supposed to," SMACK! "and it is going to," SMACK! "and you are going to be-" SMACK! "-very sorry by the time I'm done!" SMACK! SMACK! SMACK!

Aleksandr paused for a moment.

"You have been very naughty, Alice. Going against my wishes... this is not just misbehavior. This is arrogance, this is rudeness, and this is a repetition of a crime you've already been told not to commit." His hand gripped the seat of the girl's panties.

"...do you remember when you were caught trespassing in my library, little one? Do you remember how foolish you had been that day? ...what you did here is no different-" A pair of implements Alice was sure to rue seeing appeared on the bed before her - the paddle, and the bathbrush... along with a familiar water-filled bowl, in which rested a cake of soap. "-and you will be punished accordingly."

With a gentle tug, the girl's panties were pushed down the small of her knees.

SWAP!

"...do you understand, Alice?"

[Kira_Wolf_Cub]

Alice felt sick from the taste of her own blood in her mouth, as faint as it was. How could he ask her if she remembered the day she snuck into the study? How the hell could she had forgotten it?! She had only gotten her ass tanned with the bathbrush and nearly swallowed half a bar of soap.

"I'm not little," Alice whimpered as she looked at the paddle and bathbrush. She had known the soap would probably appear, she hadn't just sworen in front of Aleks, she had sworen right at him. "Stop calling me that! I'm not little!"

But she felt it. She felt little and helpless looking at the two implaments and the basin. She felt horrible inside from the guilt. Of course she cared about Aleks and the House of Rastline. It was all she had now. It was her home. Her family. It was just so damnably hard for her to ajust to his way of thinking. She was use to being able to dress the way she wanted to, no questions asked. She was use to being able to come and go as she pleased and do what she wanted within legal boundries. She didn't shoplift, felt it was too cowardly.

Alice gasped as she felt her panties lowered to the small of her knees and the cool air brush over her flushed pink rear and thighs.

SWAP!

"...do you understand, Alice?"

"AHHH!..." Alice jerked over his knee and rebite her lip, wincing at the slight pain as she pressed open the cut in her lip before answering. "Yes Sire. I understand."
