Acension city

[Rayleonarde]

Ray sniffed, and rubbed his nose. "I hope so...if not...I will have failed as a father." He stood, and took Josh's paw. Ray snapped, and dropped Josh off at his home, and returned a few moments later. He sat on the couch, and stared at the ceiling.

[Aconitum]

Acon leaned over and punched Ray hard in his chest.

[Rayleonarde]

Ray winced. "Ow!" He rubbed his chest, and kept his eyes closed. "What'd I do?"

[Aconitum]

"What didn't you do is the question I'm looking for." Acon snapped. "Ray, we need to punish them."

[Rayleonarde]

Ray sighed, and nodded. "I know...I know..." He stood, and walked to each of the twin's rooms, locking the windows. Ray walked back to Acon, and closed his eyes. "I...I'm...I don't think I can..."

[Aconitum]

Acon crossed her arms. "Rayleonarde...." she growled through clenched teeth.

[Rayleonarde]

"What do you want me to do? Take their phones? I don't remember them having any...Take their beds? Where will they sleep? Lock their doors? I don't think that's necessary. What did y-...never mind." Ray massaged his temples.

[Aconitum]

Acon stood up and huffed. "Ray, they are ten years old. Do you know how I was dealt with I was ten?" She took her belt off, folded it and cracked it.

[Rayleonarde]

Ray blinked. "I...I don't think I can..." He covered his face with his eyes.

[Aconitum]

Acon huffed. "Ray, it's either a punishment of your own or it's the belt."

[Rayleonarde]

Ray sighed. "I can't think of anything..."

[Aconitum]

Acon shook her head. "The belt it is then." She gave the dark leather another crack before she marched into Juka's first.

[Rayleonarde]

Ray sat, and watched Acon.

[Aconitum]

After a moment of silence, Juka cried out in pain as the sound of Acon's belt hitting bare skin cracked through the rooms of the apartment.

[The Magic Otter]

Mag lifted her head and stood, confused as to what was going on, once she realised what was happening she ran to Con's room, thinking that was the source if the noise. "What's happening!?"
