The last bells of the school day had tolled, and 18-year-old Fiona listened as giggles and girlish taunts filled and left the hallways of St. Martin's. She sighed, scowling at her classmates as she restlessly shifted on the Disciplinarian's wooden bench, the one she had been snapped at to sit on by Sister Cecilia. Her ear still smarted from being dragged by it, and Fiona rubbed it absentmindly as she waited for the lecture she knew was coming.
She made a brief attempt to pull her skirt down further... she had hemmed it shorter than code, another reason she was sitting here. Failing that, she sprawled out over half the bench, admiring how the plaid skirt flattened her rounded tummy. Might as well make the best of the situation and try to look as sultry as possible, she figured. Maybe she could flirt her way out of this one.
Fiona was a good student... or had been for the last 3 years. She had tried to be good this year... just... certain things had gotten in the way. First it was her sister, a very close confidante, who had gone away as an AIDS worker to Nigeria. Then, it was the pressure of selecting colleges... senior year had pushed Fiona into a mess of paperwork and essay writing. It was also the pressure of her body curving and filling out... her large breasts and round ass had been subject to some teasing from the other students.
She could blame it on thousands of things... but... it was really the thoughts she tried to push out of her head. Dirty thoughts, brought about by her Catholic history class... fantasies about flagellation and pain, angry priests and stern nuns who would teach her discipline. She stayed awake at night imagining herself bound to the Catherine wheel, or raped by barbarians when she would not yield to them. She wanted to be taken. She felt throbbing between her legs as she prayed, and felt ashamed, insomnia claiming her as the guilt stabbed at her conscience. One assignment was left undone, then another, and it quickly added up until it was too much to catch up on. Then, it was daydreaming in class... finally, a burst of rebelliousness led her to shorten her skirts.
It was all over then. She began snapping at her parents, at the nuns. She fell further and further into her secret lusts, and began touching herself, rubbing her clit as she dreamt of cruel hands, forcing her to deny God, punishing her with her refusal. Today, she had been passing notes in class to her best friend about her interest in one of the boys at the neighboring school, citing all the sinful things she had done with him. The note had been intercepted by Sister Cecilia, and she had been led to Father Lucian's bench in disgrace.
She pouted and kicked the bench leg. Like these nuns had ever had someone interested in them! All this nonsense about "thou shalt not" this, that, and the other thing was a drag, and Fiona didn't see how any of it did any good. She wasn't doing anything wrong. It was just wrong to get caught, apparently. She rolled her eyes, recalling the speech about how she would end up pregnant and shaming her family at the rate she was going. Blah blah blah, thought Fiona, people do this stuff all the time and don't get pregnant. And she knew to use a condom, anyway, though her parents had never told her. They figured thick girls didn't get laid, Fiona thought bitterly. As the clock ticked the minutes by, and the wooden door stood, silent and forbidding, she closed her eyes, abandoning her thoughts to daydream again...
She imagined she was Saint Agatha, at the mercy of the evil the magistrate Quinctianus. His eyes glinted with sadistic pleasure as she struggled against her bonds. She thought she caught a glint in his hand- something sharp.
"In spite of your crimes, I allow you your life," he growled, his foul breath in her ear, "and all I ask for in exchange is your body, and yet you refuse me?"
She spat at him. "I will not go against my vows, for you, for anyone!"
His hand crept across her face, grabbing her dark hair and pulling her neck back. She felt cool steel against her throat and gasped inadvertently. "So you prefer it rough, eh? Is that why you refused customers at the brothel, they were too soft for your tastes? I can remedy that, wench!"
The knife pressed into her skin, and she felt it break- but she would not cry. "God save you for what you do!" Agatha gasped. "You know not what consequences you shall receive!"
He laughed heartily, letting the knife rip into her skin, down, down, tearing the bodice from her dress. Her skin sang, and blood began to well up where the blade had been. "I prefer to have my pleasures here, now! You God offers nothing for me." His lips came closer to her nipple, and she turned her head away...
The door opened with a bang. "Fiona!" Father Lucian barked. "Wasn't daydreaming exactly what got you in trouble in the first place?"
Fiona opened one eye, then another. "Sorry, Father," she purred, her brown eyes meeting his and then looking down coyly. Father Lucian was often whispered about amongst the girls, a strict man well known for his paddlings, with a small paunchy belly and a few graying hairs. Many a girl's ass had been reddened by his hand, and it was whispered that he enjoyed a little too well the punishments he got to inflict. Fiona's heart skipped a beat; she had never had cause to meet him before, but where fear was expected, now she only felt a strange excitement. The throbbing began, and she flushed a little. His hair was trimmed severely, and his piercing green eyes were known for extracting a confession from the most unrepentant of souls. They pierced her now, but she met them defiantly, daring him to make her repent. He was not much taller than her, perhaps six feet- she began to wonder if he could punish her at all. He didn't seem quite so tough.
"Hmph," he grunted, looking her over disdainfully and gesturing, "Come in, my child, we have much to discuss." His eyes seemed both lustful and disgusted, making her feel naked and dirty; though she was trying to be rebellious, she had to look away. She was sure he could see into her thoughts, into her imaginings, and wondered what he thought. Like it mattered! She ignored those thoughts and stood, smoothing her plaid skirt down around her thighs. With a toss of her short hair, she entered his office.
"Sit," Father Lucian said gruffly, indicating a chair as he moved around to sit behind the desk. Fiona felt small- the desk was grand, the room large and Spartan. She lounged in the wooden chair casually as he glared at her from behind the desk.
"I hear," he began, his voice quiet and angry, "that you have been slacking in your studies, Fiona McLear. Sister Cecilia is beside herself, and says she can do nothing with you, that you are more likely to be seen staring out the window than studying your bible. She says you're disrupting her class with mouthy comments, and even passing inappropriate notes! Not at all how we would expect an 18 year old girl to behave! Is this so?"
She gave a dramatic sigh, crossing her legs and letting the skirt slide over her knees to mid-thigh. She loved her thighs... they were juicy and pale, inviting the crack of a ruler. "Yeeessss....," she said, head cocked to one side, "but I can explain..."
"Enough!" he roared, standing, his hand smacking the desk and shaking his pens. Fiona jumped back a little, startled. "There is no explanation needed! You have been told that your attention is mandatory, and this disobedience is not acceptable. I will not let this insolence go unpunished- the rest of the girls talk, I know. Allow one to stray and the rest follow after, urging on chaos and destruction and tarnishing the reputation of this school!"
Fiona rolled her eyes and laughed. "Oh, whatever, Father! These girls are like sheep, they're too afraid to stray from the herd. They should be put in kennels after their classes and kept as pets, for they'll never survive on their own."
