Revelations and promises

Delia quickly lead Kate by the hand down the hall before stopping in front of of a white door that read, "Teacher's Lounge".

"You wait here while I have some... Strong words, with Winifred." Delia told the little woman as she gestured to a small couch against the wall. She was going to lay into that woman something fierce for what she had done to Kate!

Kate merely nodded as she waddled over to the couch and sat down, watching Delia gently close the door as she stormed off down the hall. Kate took a look around the lounge. There was a vending machine, a coffee maker, a fridge, a small table with chairs, and even a small television attached to the wall. Kate also noted a door on the other side of the room with a picture of a man and woman on it, obviously indicating a bathroom. Kate then remembered that she hadn't gone to the restroom today since this whole mess started, a small pressure on her bladder as she got up and waddled over to the bathroom door.

And it was at that moment that Ms. Winifred walked into the teacher's lounge.

"Well, well, well." Ms. Winifred said in surprise as she closed the door behind her, "You just can't stay in one place and be a good girl," she then smirks evilly as she finishes with, "can you, Kate Ambers?"

Kate stood there in shock at the forty-nine-year-old woman, her face draining of color. "H-how did you...?"

"Oh, come now, Kate." Ms. Winifred said with a chuckle, "Take a good look at me. Don't I look familiar?"

Kate squinted her eyes to look at the older woman in front of her before gasping in realization. She actually recognized this woman!

Kate was often bullied for her tiny stature at the orphanage, but one girl was the worst of the worst! When she arrived at the orphanage at sixteen, due to her parents passing in a car crash and her grandmother having enough of her, this girl made Kate the perfect target, mercilessly mocking and harassing her about being eleven but looking like she was three. Needless to say, Kate was silently cheering in happiness on the day that her bully was finally adopted.

And now, the twenty-three-year-old Kate was now looking fearfully into the eyes of her forty-nine-year-old bully: Winifred Smith!

"That's right, Katie!" Winifred said with an evil smirk, "It's me. The minute I saw that you were applying to work here, I knew that I to do something. It was quite easy to grab you when you came into the bathroom and remove those stupid adult clothes you **** yourself to wear."

"I knew that you were more suited to be a student rather then a teacher." Winifred continued as Kate slowly took a few fearful steps back. "But now that you ran from your teacher like a naughty child," Winifred smiled evilly, "I don't think you seem to have learned your lesson."

Kate yelped as she turned to run, only for Winifred to reach out and grab the dress she was wearing. For the second time today, Winifred pulled and ripped the dress off of the little woman, reducing the article of clothing to an unusable rag. The older woman then grabbed the stunned Kate by the wrist and sat down on the couch, throwing the little woman over her lap as she began to spank her scrawny, diaper clad butt.

Kate squealed as she kicked and screamed, trying to squirm away from the older woman. Try as she might, though, Kate couldn't escape from Winifred's grip. And to make things worse, Kate felt the pressure on her bladder beginning to grow.

"P-please! S-stop!" Kate stammered desperately, tears starting to well up in her eyes. "I... I have to go!"

"What was that?" Winifred asked with a cruel smirk.

"I said I have to go!" Kate whined.

"Go where, Little Katie?"

"I have to go to the bathroom!" Kate sobbed as she continued to fight the losing battle with her bladder, Winifred continuously delivering spankings to her rear.

"You have to go where...?" Winifred chuckled mockingly, neither woman noticing that the door to the teachers lounge was opening up. "You're going to have to speak up."

"I hafta go potty!" Kate squealed, unable to take it anymore.

After she said that, Winifred pushed Kate off of her lap, causing the little woman to land on her diapered butt with a thud. The impact was all it took for the floodgates to open, Kate's diaper starting to balloon as a large, yellow spot grew on the front. Kate could only look down at herself in shame as Winifred cackled madly.

"What is going on in here?!" A voice called out, getting the attention of both women. Winifred went wide eyed as she saw Delia standing in the doorway with a look of horror on her face... And a shocked Ms. Townsend standing right next to her!

"Ms. Smith?!" Ms. Townsend barked in disbelief, "What the devil do you think you're doing?!"

"M-Ms. Townsend!" Winifred yelped, getting to her feet nervously, "I... I know how this looks, b-but I can explain this!"

"Explain what, Winifred?!" Ms. Townsend snapped as Delia raced over and knelt down to Kate, the younger teacher placing a hand gently on the little woman's shoulder. "You know VERY well that we do NOT endorse corporal and physical punishments here at Bryson Elementary! I should hope that you NEVER do this to your class, but to do this to a kindergartener?!"

"W-wait!" Winifred stammered, raising her hands defensively, "That's not an actual child! T-that's Kate! You know, Kate Ambers? The twenty-three-year-old who tried to apply as a teacher?! G-go on, Kate! Prove it to them!"

The other two teachers turned to see Kate sitting on the floor in her wet diaper, staring off into space for a few seconds before looking down at herself.

"Kate?" Delia began softly and gently.

"... ... ... I'm a naughty little girl..." Kate finally said, her voice above a whisper. Slowly, tears began to stream down Kate's face as she turned towards Kate and whimpered, "M-Ms. Stone... Me had an accident..."

Heartbroken, Delia scooped the little woman up in her arms and began to gently try to calm Kate down, the little woman crying softly into her neck.

Ms. Townsend, on the other hand, merely turned and glared at Winifred, the latter looking more and more nervous by the second. "S-she's just a little broken, after today..." Winifred stammered, "S-she's - "

"Enough of this farce, Winifred!" Ms. Townsend barked. "Now, I never forget the faces of any of my students, and I've NEVER seen her around here before! Who is she? Where are her parents?!"

"I... I don't have parents!" Kate suddenly squealed as she hugged Delia tightly, "This mean lady took me into the bathroom, diapered me, and made me a student! I don't even have a home!"

"WHAT?!" Ms. Townsend shrieked at Winifred, the latter realizing just how much this humiliation attempt was backfiring on her. "You plucked a forsaken child off the streets and brought her into the school?! And then proceeded to torment her?!"

"N-no! That's not what happened!" Winifred stammered again, "I-I mean, yes, she is an orphan, technically speaking. B-but - "

"Winifred..." Ms. Townsend snarled, a vein beginning to form in her temple. "If you are NOT off of the school grounds in the next thirty seconds, so help me, I'll - "

Winifred didn't need to hear anymore as she bolted out of the teacher's lounge, running towards the front doors.

"And don't think I won't be informing the police AND the school board about this, either!" Ms. Townsend yelled as Winifred slammed the doors of the school behind her. Calming down, Ms. Townsend looked over to the crying Kate in concern, asking, "Are you okay, Sweetheart? She didn't do anything else to hurt you, did she?"

Kate could only whimper as she shook her head. Delia nodded sadly as she turned to Ms. Townsend and said, "Rebecca, I'm sorry, but I don't know if I can work here anymore. I mean, after - "

"I understand, Delia." Ms. Townsend replied with a sigh, "Just take care of this little one. If it's true that she's homeless with no one to help her, then she's going to need you more than anyone. It's just a shame that I lost two good hires and one potential hire in the span of one day. And that Kate Ambers had such promise, too."

As Ms. Townsend left to call the police, she completely missed the look that Delia was giving her as the former teacher wrapped the crying little woman up in her jacket and carried her out to her car.

Delia slid into the driver's seat, placing Kate on her lap as she buckled them both in and drove away from the school. "I'm sorry about all this." Delia apologized to Kate somberly, "I swear, as your new mother, starting RIGHT NOW, nothing will EVER happen to you ever again!"

"You won't let anybody hurt me?" Kate asked shakily, sniffling.

"I promise!" Delia said as she pulled into the parking lot of a department store, "I won't let anything bad happen to you! Now, let's get you some clothes."
