some things are better left unsaid

          Cicada wasn't used to being in trouble with her big sister. She could probably count the number of times on one hand and still have some fingers left over. However, when Vanessa told her that Chrissa wanted to speak to her in her room, she knew that she was in big trouble. She knocked on the door, opening it just enough to pop her head in. "Hi, sissy. You wanted to talk to me?" She asked softly. "Come in and shut the door behind you." The twenty one year old told her baby sister, gesturing for her to come closer. Cade frowned; that was a bad sign. That normally meant that the older girl was angry and didn't want anyone else to hear her. Her siblings always seemed to listen in on conversations when someone was in trouble though. The small girl shut the door behind her as she entered the room, carefully walking close to her big sister. "What is it?" She inquired. Chris sighed, "Have you been lying to me?" Cade's eyes grew wide, and she gulped. "W-what? W-why would y-you ask-ask that?" She wondered, stuttering over her words in an attempt to keep her voice level.

          Chris pushed herself off the bed, glaring down at the younger girl. She grabbed her chin, forcing her to look her in her eyes. "That wasn't an answer, Cicada." The young woman mentioned, her voice low; a sign that she was about to lose her temper. The child's lip trembled. She didn't like her sister being mad at her. "Okay. Let me ask you again. Why did you lie about the older kids picking on you?" Chris asked, although, it phrased more as a demand. "I'm not going to repeat myself again. So I expect an answer." "I-I don't know... I wanted to get them in trouble, I guess." She shrugged, answering honestly. "That's not okay... and you know that." The caregiver spat, letting go of the girl's chin. Cade frowned. She just wanted to get them back for picking on her all the time. "But- they-" She started to explain further. "No. I'm not finished." The woman interrupted. "You lied to me to get your siblings in trouble when they didn't do anything, and you knew it was wrong. Then, you pretended that they hurt you... You faked tears. I was going to make them stay home from their vacation, Cade! That's wrong, and you know better." "I didn't know they were on their last strike!" The seven year old exclaimed.

          Chris frowned, grabbing her younger sister by her arm and bringing her close. She brought her free hand back and smacked her on the bottom without warning, causing the young girl to cry out. It happened so fast she couldn't even brace herself. "Don't raise your voice at me. You're in enough trouble." The young adult warned. Cade fought back tears, "I'm sorry!" "You know that I've got to punish you, right? You're not stupid! Which, by the way, what makes you think it's okay to call your sister that?" Chris snapped. "I didn't say she was stupid; I said that Nessa was the smart twin." The young girl corrected her younger sister, earning her another harsh spank. "OW!" A couple of tears fell down the girl's cheeks. "You're clearly not in the mood to listen to me, so let me tell you this: you're gonna get a wedgie and 28 more. Then, you're gonna leave your wedgie in until bedtime. After that, you're grounded, and I expect you to write your older siblings apology letters." Chris explained, oddly level headed.

          "That isn't fair, Chrissy! You don't ever make them write letters or-" Cade began to argue. Chris tightened her grip on the younger girl's arm, reaching into the waistband of her leggings and grabbing her panties. She pulled up quickly, getting the white frilly fabric halfway up her back in one pull. Cade gasped, standing on her tiptoes and reaching back to try and keep her underwear from being pulled any further. "St-stop it!" The seven year old shouted, struggling to grab her big sister's hand. "I have half a mind to add more to your punishment. Keep it up, and I will." Chris warned. The younger girl stayed silent, biting her lip. She felt like it wasn't fair that she got all that in one night when her older siblings normally got off scotch free. She was only seven, after all. Chris took her silence as understanding and sat down on the bed, her one hand keeping her sister's underwear up her back and the other pulling her over her knee. She then pulled hard on her panties with both hands, causing the little girl to squirm as her underwear barely touched her shoulders. Cade wanted nothing more than for it all to end already, but she would have to stay there until her big sister decided she was done. It was an eerily familiar feeling for the young girl.
