Protective Love

Ch. 37 -- New Neighbors

        I woke up in Dean's arms, the feeling of safety enveloped all around me. Zeus had protected me last night from a terrible nightmare from occurring, he noticed the signs of distress on my sleeping body and started to whine, licking me and cuddling up in my arms. I tightened my grip on my dog unconsciously as Dean had woken up slightly from Zeus' cries and started to comfort me by combing my hair with his fingers. We all fell asleep after that, no signs of any nightmare from coming back that night. You would think that I woke up good, but for some reason I was cranky and everything was upsetting me. For example, an hour ago it was 8:00 am and I had finished getting dressed for the day. A pair of warm sweats and a white thick sweater. I head downstairs and spot William in the kitchen cooking something. I give him a quick kiss on the cheek with a 'good morning' and saw that he was cooking pancakes. I usually like pancakes, but this morning I was having bad stomach acid reflexes and pancakes made my tummy turn in ways I never knew it could do. Instead, I decided to take out some waffles and warm them up in the toaster; I also grabbed a cup to pour some orange juice. 
"What do you think you are doing?! I am cooking pancakes and you are heating up waffles? I don't think so." William replies as he snatches the waffles from me and places them back in the freezer. 
"William! No! I want waffles!" I stomp my foot hard, causing a glass cup to fall off the edge of the counter where I had placed it closely to the edge and it broke. 
        I don't think I have seen William look this angry before, he turned to me slowly, watching me with eyes made for a hawk, and in a low, dangerous voice said, 
"Don't you dare move. If you do, not only will you have bloody feet from all of that glass, but you'll have a sore ass for the next month."
        I nod my head and stand there. William picks me up swiftly and walks into the living room where he can watch me from the kitchen and dropped me in a chair facing the corner.
"Don't you dare move from this spot unless told so by ME." William points at me, still using his dangerous voice that scares me. 
        That is where you find me right now, and hour later William decided to not call for me, no, he picked me up and carried me to the dinning room where everybody was waiting for me to eat breakfast. I kind of screamed a little bit because I didn't expect to be picked up out of nowhere and William lightly bopped my mouth with his hand. He sat me down in between him and Dean who had a look of disappointment directed towards me. I'm guessing William told everybody about the little incident that happened an hour ago. I pushed my plate full of food away, laying my head on my hand with my elbow resting on the table. William grabs my hand, knocking my head down in the process as the force of my hand being taken from under me had knocked my head into the table and the pain making me cry out, placing my plate full of food in front of me again. 
        With a glare warning me to listen coming from Dean, I slowly started to pick my food, drawing shapes with the syrup. Everybody was almost finished with their second plate full of pancakes and I had barely touch my first one. William was so upset with the way I was acting that he slammed his hand down on the table hard, frightening everybody, pushed my plate away from me, started to get up from his seat as I realized that I had pushed his buttons too far this morning. I grabbed my plate and started to stuff a piece of pancake into my mouth and yelled, 
"NO!! NO!! I will eat, please, William! I promise! No more attitude, no more!" William paid no attention to me as he pushed my plate away for the second time and grabbed me by my upper arm, dragging me out of my seat and into his office.
"Oh trust me, there WILL BE NO MORE ATTITUDE AFTER THIS!" He yelled
        William sat down on his sofa and pulled me over his lap. *SMACK SMACK SMACK SMACK* (x4) "I am sick and tired of the attitude you have had all morning! It is going to stop!" *SMACK SMACK SMACK* (x3) I was squirming around in his lap, my thin pajama bottoms doing little to protect me from William's strong arm. I started to cry hard, letting everything hit me as what I have done. All he was trying to do was make breakfast for the family and I go in there to ruin his good mood. That realization made me cry even harder. William noticed my distress and stopped spanking me, pulling me into his arms for comfort. 
"I'm s-s-sorry b-brotherr, please..." I couldn't finish my sentence as I could barely breath at the moment from crying so hard. Zeus is whining from outside William's office, knowing not to come in at the moment. William stands up, carries me back into the dinning room where he placed me back in my seat. Dean comes in from the kitchen with more hot pancakes and gives me a knew one to eat. I am still crying a little bit, the hiccups preventing me from eating fast. William is done eating, he starts to run his fingers through my hair, knowing it is one of my favorite things they do to help me calm down.
"Vi, I want you to take your breathing treatment tonight at 6:00 pm. Understood? I don't want you arguing with me." Dean tells me
"Yes sir." I reply quietly, taking a bit out of my pancake.
         I finish my breakfast with tears still streaming down my face, Dean picks me up and decides I need a nap. We both lay down in the sun room and fall asleep as we hear the door open from outside, listening to the water fountain we have in the middle of our garden and the birds singing. Our sun room is big, with a sofa and a small coffee table used for drinking tea as well as a smaller table with four seats to drink tea too. There is a door leading to our garden where we have huge bushes as our fence, roses and all sorts of fancy flowers, trees and a small area where we grow vegetables. In the center, we have all of our pathways leading to a grand water fountain with a beautiful statue of a flower in the middle that drizzles out water. We have different species of purple flowers surrounding the waterfall because purple was my mom's favorite color and we did it in memory of her.
