°He should be on his way home soon papa, I'm not lying, we left the school together and we parted ways that's all i know Papa°

~Her voice was trembling, she doesn't know what her father will do to her if she told him the truth and how her brother will react.

°Go to your room, freshen up, Make sure all of your assignments are done and do not i repeat do not leave the house until i get back home do you hear me!?°

°Yes Papa°

~Running to her room, closing the door, sliding down the door placing her hands on her head. She knew her brother was in trouble for not listening to their fathers orders, her brother would receive punishment.~

©Brother Aron what have you done? Why didn't you listen to father's warning. Ahhh! You're dead brother Aron, you should have just gone to check your teacher first before concluding on playing with your friends. Ahh! Brother Aron!!©

~Walking down the streets with longer strides was William, he couldn't believe his son didn't listen to him, he went ahead and did what pleased him, he disobeyed his father and made his innocent sister a lier and if it wasn't because of their mother he would have angrily beaten Adeline for what she didn't do. He was disappointed in his son's behavior~

~Already knowing where his son was, he made the 1 hour walk to the stadium a 40minutes walk out of anger.but his temper reduced when he saw the crowd filled stadium and how talented his son was, but that won't distract him from his fatherly duties.~

~ He won't just deal with him in front of the crowd. Arriving at the edge of the field, he saw kaz their neighbor's son and the best friend of his son. The moment kaz laid eyes on William, he began to sweat buckets immediately he tapped on Aron's shoulder~

°Dude your father is here and you need to leave the field immediately and you better listen to me for once because he doesn't look happy°

~Hearing those words Aron knew he was in deep trouble and he needed to leave immediately but knowing his father he was sure he had already spotted him on the field~

°Shit I'm in deep trouble. Cover for me°

°Best of luck° Kaz mocked

°Yeah I'll need it°

~Making a grand escape from the field, picking up his bag he went towards his father paying his respects, his father pretending no to be mad complimented him slapping him on the back and telling him he did well. They made their way home chatting endlessly and joking around but William hasn't forgotten his sons punishment~

~Getting home he noticed his sisters weren't playing outside and Adeline wasn't helping their mother in cooking either since that's what she does most of the time. He was confused, he didn't know what to call this situation and before he could ask his father has spoken~

°I want you to freshen up, we have no water left you need to fetch water from the stream and feel up all the empty drums also call Adeline when you're coming so you'll go together°

°Yes papa°

~Excusing himself he went to his room to freshing up, heading back out he turned to the door on the left side of the corridor, walking up to it he was about to knock when it swang open with fingers grabbing onto his arm and pulling him into the room~

°Are you okay? Did daddy touch you? Was he angry? What happened?°

~Adeline couldn't help but ask she felt like it was her fault that her brother would get punished even though she knew it wasn't her fault but she felt guilty~

°I'm fine Aina I'm good honestly I'm more surprised daddy hasn't said anything but i know the punishment keeps ringing in my head and i knlw it'll happen later rather than sooner at least by then I'll be prepared°

°But you know father is unpredictable it can happen any time and i don't want it to happen in front of me, i feel guilty enough please don't get your hopes high°

°I've heard you. Anyway we need to fetch water from the stream and if we waste anymore precious time you'll be included in the Punishment so we better head out before he notices we haven't left°

°You're right lets go Brother Aron°

~Taking their buckets, they left for the stream. After filling 10 drums they're finally getting their well deserved rest. After eating for the night, playing with their baby sister of and brother, they decided that today has come to an end. Saying their goodnight to their parents, they went to bed tucking their siblings along the way~

~The moment the two got to Adeline's room they paused, they didn't want to be left alone during the night not knowing what their father would do so they made sure to sleep in Adeline's room for the night. The moment their back hit the bed, they were out as a light~

°My husband must you still beat him tonight?The work they did was enough punishment for what they did°

°No its not enough if he won't listen to me now when will he? He made sure to go behind me to do what i told him not to°

°I know what he did was wrong my husband and I'm sure he's learned his lesson please don't hurt him°

°No he hasn't he needs to be delt with°

~At 2am that morning William sneaked into his sons room but noticed he wasn't there and he knew where he was because anytime things like this happened, he would hide in his sisters room not wanting to face the wrath alone.~

~ Opening the door to his daughter's room he saw them sleeping with Adeline's head on her brothers chest although he didn't want to wake her up, he had no choice but to do what he planned on doing. Lifting his belt by the tail higher with the metal part facing his son he hit him with it on his laps.~

~ Both jumping up when the second beating was coming down Adeline blocking the blow took the beating on her back the force making her shirt split open. But William wasn't done yet telling Adeline to move but she didn't listen and William clouded by his own determination to deal with his son didn't notice the hook of the belt facing down until it was too late Adeline pushing her brother off the bed took the beating to her back and this time blood was spilled the hook digging into her back tearing her skin~

~her father dropping the belt immediately cradled hid daughter petting her Adeline didn't want to wake up the neighbours nor her tired mother and siblings didn't make a single noise. She was so calm but it was obvious she was anything but. Shaking with tears leaking from her eyes fisting her fathers shirt in her hands whispering~

°Why papa, what has my brother done to deserve this form of torture? You've never beaten us to this extent before, why today? Why now? Papa what is going on? Why are you always angry?°
