"I don't want to."

"It doesn't matter." She says softly, as if she were waving away the fog with a single stroke.

She reaches forward and pulls you to her.

The movement was unexpected, and her strength overwhelming.

It is perhaps no surprise. She is twice your size. No matter your strength you cannot resist her. The resistance you feel when you try to move against her is unwavering, and swiftly overpowering.

She pulls you closer, and in a moment and a jerk of manoeuvring she has twisted you around and bent you over her knees. You feel her hand on your back, steadying you. You test a last method of resistance by seeing how much you can wriggle, but her hand presses down gently but firmly, stopping all your resistance.

"Steady." She says sternly. "Or you'll get worse."

"Twenty strikes. That's for being bad. More if you misbehave. Then more for lying. Then more for struggling." Her tone is deadly serious. You are in for a long punishment.

They are all bad. She is just hitting harder now. It hurts a lot and your face scrunches up. You feel as if you might c-

Cry. You sob a single sob and grip her tighter. You tremble, and you -

WHAP!

You cry. There it is. Several sobs fall out of your face involuntarily. You try to not sob too loudly, but it hur-

WHAP!

You groan in pain and your legs jerk and twist. You grip her more tightly. The hand on your back steadies you gently but firmly.

WHAP!

WHAP!

WHAP!

You cannot stop the sobbing now. You can only grip her more tightly and try to be-

WHAP!

WHAP!

"Behave." She says seriously.

You try to not squirm. But it hurts too much...

WHAP!
