[Possible Future] Daddys Punishment

Zuri held the writhing two year old to his chest as he strode up the path to get to the front of the mansion.

He'd called Rasmir as soon as he'd found her with her baby fangs in his Elf's wrist and the girl had been ordered home immediately.

She was not happy with those orders and she was writhing and whining every step of the way.

"It's a good thing your mother is away in Japan," Zuri sighed softly as she yanked roughly on his braided hair. Giacinto would tear into her for draining Dec like that.

He nudged open to large doors and smiled as he saw Rasmir stood waiting like he had said he would be over the phone. "The little terror is all yours."

Rasmiran sighed as he saw the two of them reaching out and taking the small girl from his grasp and holding onto her firmly.

"I'm so sorry about this Zuri."

He muttered, shaking his head as he looked over at the other man, he had hoped for one peaceful day off but once again she had arched up.

"You better get back and make sure Decebel is alright, apologize for me when he wakes up and make sure he take the next few days off."

It was Giacinto's club but she would have probably made the same call, they couldn't let the man work when he was running on empty.

Chiara squirmed, gripping onto Zuri's braids tighter as she was passed off to her father.

She knew what this meant.

Zuri's large hands came up to open the girl's hands gently and remove his braids before they were torn from his skull. The girl had a death-grip even he was impressed with sometimes.

"Even if I have to strap him to the bed personally, I'll make sure he doesn't do anything for the next few days. I'll be back next week to pick her up again."

Every week she spent a day with Zuri to give the parents some time to relax.

"Let go sweety."

He muttered, helping Zuri get her hands out of his hair, she had a sense for knowing when she was in trouble.

"If you strapped him to the bed he would be doing more strenuous activity than if he was working."

The man replied, rolling his eyes a little bit, he knew well enough of the two men's exploits.

"But I'll leave his care in your capable hands and I'll take care of this one."

He said, bouncing the small girl in his arms.

A wide smirk curled Zuri's lips in response to the comment about being strapped down.

"Dont knock bondage," he purred over his shoulder as he made his way down the path again.

He waved back at the two of them

"See you later, Chiara."

The little girl raised a hand to wave at him. "Bye Bye, Uwi!"

Once Zuri had departed the man sighed and looked down at his daughter dully.

"Chiara..."

He muttered, his voice laced with that 'you know you're in trouble right?' tone.

"I fed you before you went with uncle Zuri and you had your bottle there.

Why did you bite uncle Dec?"

As soon as her name, laced with that all too familiar tone, left her father's lips, she looked up at him with wide, watery red eyes.

She sniffed loudly as her tears brimmed over her thick lashes and slid down her cheeks.

The girl sniffed again. She didn't say anything.

"Chia..."

He groaned as she started to sniffle and cry, he never did well when she started the water works, even when he knew they were only crocodile tears.

His lips pursed but he shook his head, this wasn't something he could overlook, she could seriously hurt someone if she did this again.

"No, don't, you're in trouble this time. You know not to bite someone without permission."

He said, trying to put a scolding tone into his voice.

His dislike of the water works was exactly why she did it. For a two year old, she was clever. Clever enough to know how to get around her dads temper 99% of the time.

It was looking like this was the 1% that she couldn't get around it with tears.

Time to up the ante.

A loud sob sounded as she stretched out her arms, looking up at him with her pleading carmine eyes as she tried to wrap her arms around his neck. "Cudduws," she sobbed.

Rasmir faulted a little when she sobbed and asked for cuddles, she always did this when she was in big trouble or her mother had scolded her.

She could manipulate just as well as Giacinto could, he cursed that quite often because despite her wrong doing he always felt like the one being punished.

"No Chiara."

He said sternly, if he couldn't discipline is own child then he was no use as a father.

"You hurt Decebel, it wasn't nice and you'll never do it again."

He said, his voice finding a little more strength, he wouldn't let her become a little monster who just went around feeding on anyone who stayed still long enough, what would happen if she thought it was okay to bite a lycan?

"You're going to have a time-out then you can apologize to Dec."

This was still the 1%.

That was not all right in her books.

So when he gave the punishment, her head reared back and she gave a loud wail at the top of her lungs, followed soon after by a loud sob.

The tears that were running down her cheeks were crocodile tears any more.

"Crying wont get you anywhere today little miss."

He was standing his ground today, for her own sake and the sake of those around her.

Rasmir carried her inside and headed toward Giacinto's bedroom where they had set up a little room for her.

He sat her down on a little stool in the corner of the room and left her there.

"You stay there until you're ready to apologize."

He added before stepping into the next room, still where he could see her to make sure she didn't run off.

He quickly pulled out his phone and called Tony's number, dreading having to talk to her while Chia was crying.

The girls sobbed and cried loudly when she was placed on the step.

The phone rang almost until it would go to voicemail before I tired moan sounded from the other end of the phone.

"It's one in the morning and I have to be up at five to start travelling down to Tokyo. This better be good." Tony sounded more tired than annoyed right now.

"I know, I'm sorry Tony."

He replied, rubbing his temple as the girl cried in the background.

"I need to punish Chiara but I don't know what to do with her at the moment, she is in time-out right now but it isn't enough."

This sort of behaviour needed something a little harsher but he didn't know what to do, he had never been one to strike a child and he wanted to avoid that sort of punishment.

"She was with Zuri today and snuck into the bedroom while Decebel was asleep and practically drained him, probably would have if Zuri hadn't caught her.

What do I do? What if it is a Lycan next time?"

The woman gave a low groan and a thump was heard over the phone. Most likely her dropping her head into the pillow she had just been lying on.

"She half rained him, right?" came her voice after a few long moments. "Well deprive her now. She loves her bottle of milk and blood when she goes down for a nap or goes to bed."

Though she usually had just blood, she did have a soft spot for milk and blood mixed together. That was what they always gave her when she was tired.

"Deprive her of it for a few days. Make sure she knows the reason she's not getting her bottle is because she bit someone. That should stop her pretty quick."

Rasmiran had to stop himself from chuckling, Tony definitely sounded tired.

"Alright."

He replied after hearing her plan to deprive the girl of what she wanted in order to curve her behaviour.

"Sorry about calling you so early in the morning, I'll keep a closer eye on her from now on so don't worry. Sleep well."

He added before hanging up the phone, he could take care of things now and hopefully Tony could enjoy the rest of her trip in peace.

His gaze flicked back over to the crying little girl as he gave a sigh, he hated punishing her, he would leave her there until she calmed down though, no sense trying to do anything when she was in hysterics.

"No, it's fine," the woman assured around a yawn.

She didn't care what time she got woken up if it was about her daughter. She'd just have to apologise if she fell asleep during business tomorrow.

"Night," she murmured before the line went dead.

The wailing had died down to little sobs in the space of the phone call. Chiara had a short attention span and if she wasn't soothed in the few short minutes of her attention span, she began to realise that no one was coming and she calmed down.

A soft smile graced his lips as he saw that she had calmed down a little bit, enough so that dealing with her was possible.

"Chia."

He called softly as he sat down on the bed, petting his leg and beckoning her over to him.

"Come here."

His words weren't harsh but he wasn't going to give into her now and run to her, coddling her just because she was upset.

The little girl looked up from the patch of floor she had been staring intently at and gave a loud sniffle as she wiped her cheeks.

It took her a long moment to decide whether or not to go to him or just snub him. Eventually she close to go to him and pushed herself to her feet. She almost ran to him.

While she had perfected running, she hadn't quite perfected stopping just yet, so to stop herself she just ran into her daddy's leg and wrapped her arms around his leg to try and stop herself from falling over.

She looked up at him with wide red eyes, still wet from her crying jag.

Rasmiran chuckled as she ran into his leg, she tried and it was adorable but she was slowly getting the hang of running around.

"Are you going to say sorry for being naughty?"

He asked as he scooped her up and sat her down on his knee, getting the sleeve of his jacket and wiping her wet cheeks with it.

"Biting isn't nice Chiara and you can't just bite people when you feel like it."

The girl leant into the gentle hand wiping her tears away and sniffled softly again.

"He le' me afore."

If he let her bite him, why couldn't she bite him? She didn't know what she was being told off for. She just knew she was definitely in trouble.

"I know sweety, Decebel has let you before but you still have to ask permission.

You can make him sick if you take blood when he has already given some to someone else."

He explained, she was a smart little girl, he hoped he could reason with her to keep her out of trouble.

"You're not to bite unless you ask nicely and they say yes. Even then, you have to make sure that Mommy or I say it is okay."

The girls little brows drew together in confusion.

If he had already said yes to drinking his blood, why did she have to ask again? Mommy and daddy had both given permission for her to drink Dec's blood before, too.

Her logic was solid in her own head.

Instead of showing that she knew what her daddy was talking about, she reached up to cuddle him.

"You have to promise that you will ask Mommy or Daddy before you bite someone okay?"

That was easier than trying to explain to her that in different situations it changed whether it was alright to bite or not.

Plus this way they could control who she took blood from, the last thing they needed was her getting sick.

"You have to promise."

He said as he pulled the little girl into his arms.

The girl stuck her tongue out and blew a loud raspberry as she was pulled into his arms.

She wrapped her little arms around his neck and hugged him tight.

"Daddy, sing mommy's song."

Her mother sung to her often and Giacinto had one particular song that she repeated a lot.

It was one of Chiara's favourite songs.
