-"how did the punishment go?" Elena asked her husband as she putted the last touches to the dinner table.

-"well, I don't know what happened but I am sure that my little boy hates me now." Damon said with his head between his hands.

Elena furrowed her eyebrows and dried her hands with the kitchen towel before taking a seat next to Damon. She leaned against his shoulder and asked softly.

-"why are thinking like this? What did happen upstairs?"

-"I made sure that I didn't hurt him. I just spanked him like I did with Aiden. I didn't do anything out of ordinary. But at the end he refused my comfort. He didn't even accept my hug." Damon said with distress visible in his voice.

-"Aiden and Sam are different in many ways Damon. Maybe he was hurt with the idea that he was punished and couldn't bring himself to terms with this new form of discipline. Sam is sensitive and always needs more time than his brother to adjust with new things. I am sure that by dinner time he will be okay." Elena tried to reassure her husband as best as she can.

-"he was insisting that he didn't do it even after the punishment was over." Damon shared with his wife.

-"really? It is strange. Sam usually isn't that stubborn."

-"yes I know, which left me wondering if we were wrong in our decision." Damon stood from his chair and opened the fridge to drink some blood. He was really thirsty and there is nothing better than a glass of cold blood.

-"what are implying Damon? Do you think Aiden played us?"

-"I am not throwing any accusation here Elena but I am sure there is something missing here and I will discover it." Damon said and took the first sip from his glass. He felt the cold liquid washing his dry throat and he sighed in bliss.

That night at the Salvatore dinner table the atmosphere was very tense. Sam who was always chattering and laughing was sitting quietly with his hands crossed over his chest. Aiden was wearing a guilty expression on his face and just sat there playing with his food. His stomach was knotted and he couldn't bring himself to eat anything.

-"did you not like the food Sammy?" Elena was the first to break the awkward silence that descended on her table.

-"may I be excused?" Sam asked his father ignoring his mother's question.

-"no, you may not. You can't leave this table until you eat at least half the food on your plate. This is the rule." Damon remaindered his son sternly. He didn't like his son's attitude and was getting fed up with his behaviour.

-"I am not hungry."

-"I don't care if you are hungry or not Sam. You need to eat your food and that's final." Damon then looked to his other son and fixed him with a stern look "my words are directed to you too Aiden. I want that plate empty by the end of dinner or we will have problems. Am I clear?"

-"yes Dad." Aiden nodded his head and started forcing small bits into his upset stomach.

-"well?" Damon arched an eyebrow waiting for his youngest response.

-"come on Sammy, you have to eat your dinner so you can go with us tomorrow to the water park. I am sure that Lily will be delighted to play with you." Elena tried to coax her son before the situation could escalate more.
