The mood in the room darkened as Valerica's bubbly personality disappeared, leaving behind a cold malicious creature. She stopped fawning over my body and turned around, glaring at Kathrine.
"I warned you about calling me names young lady." Valerica then walked to the end of the booth and sat down. She then patted her knee and glared once more towards Kathrine. "Over my knee. Now."
Kathrine guffawed. "You can't be serious... Wait, you're serious?" Kathrine was baffled as she looked over to me quickly. "Mother, Apollo is here- he." Valerica wasn't having excuses. "Apollo knows not to disrespect his mother Kathrine. He is my good boy. You on the other hand. Over my knee, now! It is non negotiable."
