Kenzie POV

"You were mean." I say as soon as everyone leaves.

"How so?" Brenton asks.

"She was so hurt and scared and Landon has been waiting for his little girl... you were mean." I tell him and he sighs.

"She is a vampire. Vampires are trying to kill us and take you. It is my job to protect this pack so I have to be cautious of a vampire infiltrating us no matter how cute she is." He says.

"So you think she is cute?" I ask just to make him squirm.

"What? No! Not like..." I start to giggle and he growls. "Little bat! You know better than to think I have eyes for anyone else." I smile at him.

"I know... but I still think you were mean... you didn't see Gilly running. She was so scared! I don't know what they did to her... I'm sorry I didn't listen before... I don't want to know what they did to her... what they would have done to me... thank you for not letting me turn myself over to him... I'm sorry." I rant and he pulls me into his arms.

"I love you baby bat... I will never let anyone hurt you and... you may be right about the vampire girl."

"Gilly." I correct him.

"I will give Gilly a chance and will treat her as I would any other little in our pack... but I want Eddy with you when you are with her." He finishes.

"Why do we have to have Eddy? I love him but I finally get a girl friend and you are gonna make me bring a boy!" I can feel myself getting younger as I think about him not letting me play with my new friend.

"I want Eddy with you because he is a little as well so it will be easier for you and if she tries something he will protect you... it's either that or you have to have me with you." He says and I sigh. I like that at the end of the day during my little time daddy let's me play in the common area while he does other things. I'm usually with Eddy anyway so I guess it won't be too bad.

"Finnnnne" I groan.

"Cheer up buttercup. Once I'm sure she is not a threat you will have more freedom with her... I'll call Landon and have him come over for dinner at the main house so you can see her tomorrow okay?" Daddy says and I smile.

"Thanks." I give him a big hug and he picks me up.

"But for now it's dinner time then bed. I was gone most the day so I'm sure you didn't eat lunch." He says and I shake my head. I didn't eat... I didn't even realize he was gone that long. It felt like forever until I saw Gilly but I guess getting her to calm down then talking to her took a long time.

"Nope mine now!" Eddy yelled.

"You can't do that! That's my panda!" I argue as he holds my stuffie above his head. Stupid tall people!

"You set him down. That's stuffie neglect. He needs a new home." Eddy argues. I like him better when he is younger. He doesn't know the word neglect when he is in his younger headspace. Right now he is a mean ol' 7 year old boy I just wanna smack! Ya know what!

SMACK!

"Mommy!"

"Daddy!"

"What's going on!" Two worried care givers rush in.

"She hit" "He stole" "me in" "my panda" "my face" "and won't" "and it" "give him" "still hurts!" "Back to me!"

"Mommy!"

"Daddy!"

They look at each other then back to us.

"Eddy give her her panda back and march your little butt over to the corner." Kelly says and I smile as he gives me my stuffie. I stick my tongue out at him before I am grabbed by my arm and brought over to the couch.

"Are you allowed to hit people?" Daddy asks. Oops.

"No." I mumble. "But he stole my stuffie and said I neglected him!" I argue.

"So you couldn't have gotten me or miss Kelly to get you your stuffie back? You had no choice but to hit him? Because your lungs seemed to work just fine for you to call me after hitting him." He says and I look away.

"You deserve a spanking for hitting someone without cause but I want the lesson to stick after your bum stops stinging so I think a different punishment is in order... I want you to kneel by the coffee table." Daddy says before walking into his office. "Here." He places three papers in front of me. "Each paper has 33 lines so filling three pages would be 99. In the space at the top of your first page write this. "I will use my words and get help. I will not hit others." I write the line in the space at the top of my paper. "Good now you only have 99 to go."

"100 lines!" I gasp.

"Do I need to make it front and back?" He asks and I shake my head.

"No sir."

"Good, now kneel there and write... do it quickly if you want to play with Gilly. Landon said he's be here at 6 and it's 5 o'clock now." He says and I scribble down the next line. "Make sure it is legible I'd hate to make you do it again."

About 56 lines in Eddy was out of time out which Kelly had to force him into a chair for.

"You still writing?" He asks but I ignore him. My knees hurt and my hand hurts and I don't want another punishment for slapping him again. "Ha ha, you're still in trouble!" He sticks his tongue out at me laughing.

"I will use my words and get help. I will not hit others. I will use my words and get help. I will not hit others. I will use my words and get help. I will not hit others."

Wait a second!

"You don't get to play now!" Eddy taunts.

"Miss Kelly!" I yell and she comes running. "Eddy's picking on me cause I have to write lines." I tell her.

In less than a minute Eddy is kneeling opposite me at the table writing 50 lines of "I will not make fun of other Little's punishments."

"This sucks." He mumbles as the front door opens.

"Daddy can I color with them?" I hear and turn to see Landon walking in with Gilly on his hip.

"They aren't coloring baby... how about you meet Miss Kelly and you can play with them later." Landon says and she nods. "You almost done little one?" He asks me and I show him my two full pages and my started third.

"Last page." I tell him and he smiles.

"Good girl... hurry up and we'll see you after Gilly has her check up." I nod and get back to writing. I really want to play with Gilly. I was big yesterday so it will be fun having another girl little around!

"I'll be done soon Landon, promise." I say and he pats my head with a smile.

I need to get these lines done!
