Spoilers: You finally get to find out what Roni's demons are.

Disclaimer: If they haven't been on TWW, they are mine. If they have
been on TWW, they are not mine, I'm just having fun.


One of the things Roni seemed to do most often when she was upset or
nervous seemed to be pacing the many halls of the White House, and
this time was no different. Except her mind was flooded with
memories, painful flashbacks from her past.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A young, five year old Roni is in her room, sitting on her bed,
trying to go to sleep at night, when her door starts to creak open.

"Who's there? Who is that?"

"I heard you've been a very naughty girl today," Keith said as he
entered the room.

"No. Eric was lying to you. I didn't say those things. Please don't
hit me dad. I didn't say them. He's just mad 'cause he got grounded
and wants company. I didn't do it daddy."

"You know how I feel about that kind of stuff, and you know I have to
spank you for it. If I don't, how will you learn?"

"I've already learned daddy. Don't hit me. I won't do it again. I
promise."

"I'm sorry, but you're making me do it. I don't like spanking you,
really, but you make me do it," Keith said. He then grabbed Roni,
put her over his knee, and gave her a bare butt belt spanking. The
more Roni struggled and cried, the worse she got hit.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Roni, now eight years old, came home from school to a messy house.
Keith was waiting for her, just inside.

"It's about time you get home. Why didn't you clean the house? It
looks like a pigsty. Do I look like a pig? Then why should I live
like one? Get your *ss over here."

"Daddy, I cleaned it just yesterday. It was really clean. Mommy
said so. It was still clean when I went to school. I didn't know it
was messy. I would have cleaned it again if I knew daddy. Please
daddy, don't hit me. It's not my fault daddy."

Removing the belt from around his waste, Keith said, "Why do we have
this same conversation every time you make me hit you? Just for
that, you are gonna get hit even more."

"No daddy, it's not my fault. Don't hit me, please daddy. I didn't
do it, it's not my fault," cried Roni as she got another bare butt
belt spanking.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ten-year-old Roni is in the living room, watching TV, when Andrew
comes in the room. Andrew starts watching the show with her, until
Mary comes in says, "Turn the TV off, Roni. Go do your homework."

"Yes, ma'am," Roni said as she did as she was told.

Andrew, who had decided he wanted to watch TV, was mad that Roni
turned it off, and decided to kick her in the leg. "Turn it back on,
turn it back on."

With this, Roni chased her little four-year-old brother out the back
door, where she finally caught up with him, and gave him an indian
burn. She then returned to the living room, and started her
homework. Minutes later, Andrew came back in the room and kicked
Roni again.

"Dad told me I could," bragged Andrew.

Again, Roni got up and chased Andrew. This time, he went out the
front door, but Roni didn't feel like chasing him anymore, so she
stopped at the door, as Andrew kept running. Just then, Keith shot
up from behind the bushes, and turned towards Roni. Roni, knowing
what was about to happen ran to her room, shut the door, locked it,
and sat in front of it. She was no match for him. He broke the door
down, and started beating her, using anything hard lying around to
help him inflict more pain. Then, he grabbed her by the hair, and
banged her head into the door.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

12 year old Roni is awakened at dawn from the sound of a door
slamming shut. Roni shot up out of bed, and looked around the room.
Her eyes finally rested on the moving figure heading straight towards
her. It was Keith.

"Wake up you little brat, where's my breakfast? You know it's your
job to make me my breakfast, where is it?"

Still half way sleeping, Roni, not fully alert, replied "Huh?"

"Don't 'huh' me. I have to leave for work in thirty minutes and you
didn't make me breakfast yet. Roll over."

"No, you don't have to hit me dad. I can go make breakfast for you
right now. You don't have to hit me."

"And if I don't, tomorrow morning you won't have my breakfast for me
either. This is the only way you will ever learn. Roll over, NOW!"

With that, Roni rolled over, as she got hit several times, over and
over again.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Keith stumbled into the door, around 9:00 p.m. at night, and fell
down on the couch. Once he was familiar with his surroundings, he
began to move again. Mary was sitting on the loveseat, and Roni was
on the rocking chair, watching the TV.

"What the hell are you watching? Give me the remote, now. I ain't
watching this crap. Give me the remote you slow retard."

"Here," Roni said as she threw the control at Keith. "Have your
precious remote."

"Damn you, don't talk back to me." Keith said. He managed to stand
up, and go over to where Roni was sitting. His arms started flying
everywhere, as Roni began to block his punches. Frustrated that he
was making no actual contact with Roni, he pulled a knife that was
attached to his belt. Roni managed to finally get off the rocking
chair and go to the middle of the room. Keith soon followed. He
lunged at her several times with the knife. Finally, after taking so
many steps back, escaping the wrath of the knife, she did an outside
crescent kick, knocking the knife out of his hand, then spun around
and did another crescent kick, kicking his chest.

"Get the f*ck out of my house, and don't you ever return," Keith
shouted.

"Fine, I'm gone, and I'm never coming back." Roni yelled back,
storming out the front door, slamming it shut.
