Chapter 16: Wednesday

After and uneventful Tuesday I was looking forward to Wednesday. Amelie had not come to see me on Tuesday night and I was happy that she would have to come on Wednesday for her regular punishment, a punishment which I had, unilaterally, commuted into sexual service to me. But at lunchtime Amelie wasn’t the only one waiting outside, the other girl was Nicole, whom I hadn’t seen since the punishment ceremony at St Cuthbert’s.

Out of breath, Mrs Lodenheim arrived to explain: “Nicole has missed four appointments with you, today would have been the fifth. We thus owe her 100 cane strokes which should be administered today. Plus four escalations, one for each missed appointment - to calculate them, enter this code into the computer.” She handed me a slip. Now I had assumed that Nicole’s regular punishments had been subsumed by the punishment ceremony at St Cuthbert’s, and Nicole had probably thought so, too. So I thought this was rather harsh. I entered the code Mrs Lodenheim had given me into the computer and was somewhat shocked at what it returned, namely 10 strokes with the no 1 cane on her anus and 10 lashes with the no 3 whip on her vulva, but in front of 4 male witnesses her own age. Mrs Lodenheim was reading over my shoulder, and even she took in her breath in a rather shocked way.

“So this is on top of the 100 cane strokes today?”, I asked her. Nicole heard this, of course, and went even paler than she was already.

“I guess so”, Mrs Lodenheim replied. “But you don’t have to give them all at once, probably. You’d better tell her.”

“Ok, Nicole, I’m afraid it’s bad news. You have missed 100 strokes with the no 3 cane and will receive these over the next five days, 20 each day, starting now. However, the computer has also ordered that, as an escalation, you are to receive 10 strokes with the no 1 cane on your anus and 10 lashes with the no 3 whip on your vulva. What is more, this is to happen in front of four male witnesses your own age. I am very sorry about that. We cannot do this today, as we do not have the witnesses here - Mrs Lodenheim, I suppose you will organise them to cover over from St Cuthbert’s?” She nodded. “Thanks. So we’ll start with 20 cane strokes today and we will inform you when the escalation punishment will take place. Please strip now.”

Nicole was now used to this and was out her clothes very quickly. Without waiting to be asked, she got onto the punishment frame and put her hands and feet through the velcro loops. All I had to do was tighten them and then, having taken onboard the feedback received, adjust the frame so as to spread her legs. I then laid into her, counting precisely twenty strokes. She stayed stoic to start with, but was sobbing and crying by the end.

Mrs Lodenheim told her, while she was getting dressed, that she would make arrangements for the witnesses from St Cuthbert’s to come to the school in the next few days, details tbc. After Nicole had left, she made no moves to leave. Amelie was waiting next door. How was I going to lose Mrs Lodenheim?

The answer was: I wasn’t. Mrs Lodenheim remained in situ, forcing me to put Amelie through the same punishment that Nicole had just received. I was just hoping she’d be able to forgive me! She took the punishment well, and I was trying to be easy on her without this being obvious to Mrs Lodenheim.
