The Drake Institute Chapter 6 Inspections As always the Colonel was right on time. He was accompanied by Mr. Barns. In his hand he carried a leather tawse, which by experience, he knew would be put to use that evening, at least once but quite probably a few times. First night inspections usually resulted in a number of sore bottoms. Though their were four wings to the dorms only one was in use due to the low starting population. By design of the Institute all corridors from all offices, dorms and the cafeteria lead to the center assembly area. It was layed out like a spoked wheel. At the opposite end of each dorm was a larger room where the GC's resided. Only the dorms and administrative offices were carpeted and all other rooms and corridors were hard stone and a pin dropping would literally echoe thru the building. Each dorm room could accomidate four students but for now, until the population increased only two were assigned to each. He entered each room expecting to find the occupants in their PJ's sitting on their neatly made beds as instructed earlier. The inspections only took a minute or so and the Colonel emerged from the first room appearing pleased with what he saw. Upon entering the second however, one of the girls, Carolyn, was not ready. She was only in her panties and hadn't put on her PJ's and was on her bed almost nude. The Colonel instructed her to finish disrobing and to put her nightwear on. It was embarrassing for her as he watched her disrobe completely first before putting on the regulation flannel pajamas. She was then ordered to leave the room and to go an wait in the assembly area. Her eyes fixed upon the strap in his hand as she nervously obeyed his instruction. He inspected the room and a few moments later Carolyn's roommate, Paula, emerged from the room and headed for the assembly area. The Colonel continued his inspections and three more students, two young men, a woman and another young woman, Nancy, who had been reprimanded earlier, were sent out to wait in the assembly. On his exit from each room he purposely left the door open to the hall. Knowing the accoustics he made sure that everyone would hear the results of a failed inspection. When the five students arrived in the assembly hall they noticed four chairs in the middle of the room facing a padded sawhorse. With the inspections complete, the Colonel, the Deans and the four GC's entered the assembly. The four GC's sat in the four chairs (George did also even though sitting was still quite uncomfortable) and The Colonel stood by the sawhorse. The students stood in a single line to the right of the Colonel and the Deans and Aids stood to the left. The six students eyes gazed with worry at the sawhorse. They knew very well what it was placed there for. "In case you're wondering why your all here." Said the Colonel to the students. "It's quite simple. You're all going to be spanked and then you will recieve six lashes of my strap. You've failed your inspection in one way or another and now you must be punished. I will not entertain any questions, stubborness of argument." He said in a most strict tone. The students cringed at the thought of what was to happen next. They had all witnessed the spankings of Nancy and William that afternoon and they all feared their's would be no different. Their fears soon turned to reality as the Colonel continued. "Mr. Barns. Would you be so kind as to bring up two more chairs. Itseems we are two spankers short. The rest of the students listened from their rooms. Though they could not see what was happening the sound of the Colonel's voice and their own imagination was all they needed to paint a clear picture in their minds. Mr Burns had placed the two chairs in line with the others and The Colonel held his open hand toward the chairs and asked. "Miss Price and Mr Barns. Would you be so kind?" Mr Burns and Miss Price sat in the two chairs The Colonel began to pace back and forth while slapping his hand with the tawse as he began his instructions "Each of you will march up single file and face those who are seated in the chairs. "The order does not matter." They did so with without question. "Now. You will pull your PJ bottoms down to your knees. If they fall to the floor you will leave them there. You will then stand, hands to your sides at attention and your eyes straight out." All in unison they did as they were told and now their bare bottoms faced the Colonel. You will now look at that person seated in front of you and tell them that you have been a very bad young man or woman and ask them if they would be so kind as to properly spank your bare bottom." Each recited the line as instructed and they were taken across the laps for the proper spanking they asked for. The spankings began at the Colonels instruction."40 smacks - and each student will count aloud. Let's begin." The students still in their dorms could hear each and every smack followed by the counts and sometimes a yelp or an outcry as the sounds echoed thru the halls. Though they couldn't see their peirs being spanked they could tell by the sounds that it was no picnic. The smacks were loud and the outcries frequent. All had felt the bitter sting of the hand that was spanking and three had sucummed to crying by the time all forty smacks landed. "You will now rise and face your spanker. Do not touch your bottom. Do not retrieve your PJ'S. "The Colonel said. "You will thank them for the spanking you had just recieved." They all did so and now all six bare red bottoms faced the Colonel. He seemed pleased at the results his staff acccomplished. The six tender bottoms would soon feel the excrusionating sting of his leather tawse. There was a moment of silence in the hall as the students stood embarrassed, half naked awaiting the Colonel's next command. "You may now pull your PJ bottoms up and kneel uptight facing me." When they were all kneeling and facing him he continued. "When I call your name you will stand and approach this chair. You will bend at the waist and reach back and pull your PJ bottoms down and place your hands on the seat of the chair. You will each receive six lashes with this strap. You will count each swat followed by "Thank you, Sir". They all knelt in silence, wondering who was going to be first. They didn't wonder long as the Colonel picked the young man kneeling in front of Miss Price. "You'll be first Joseph". Joseph obediently rose and approached the chair. As told to, he bent over, pulled his bottoms down exposing his bare red butt to everyone in the room and placed his hands flat on the seat of the chair." Everyone looked on as the Colonel wasted no time in measuring his disatance and delivering the first lash to Joseph's crimson butt. The snapping "CRACK" of it's impact echoed thru the halls so clear and crisp that the students still in their rooms jumped at the sound. Joseph let out a loud "OWE" quickly followed by "One Thank you Sir" Instantly a deeper red welt appeared across his ass. The next five swats were equal to the first and equally as painful if not more but Joseph held onto the seat of the chair as instructed and didn't rise until permission was granted. "Now young man" the Colonel said. "You may pull up your bottoms and return to where you were kneeling." He turned and continued. "Paula come foward" Paula, basically a shy gal of 19, had never been spanked, let alone strapped, before in her entire life. Nor had a member of the opposite sex ever seen her naked. This was a night of firsts for her. The spanking she just received from Mr Barns was more than she had imagined. Her ass was red and sore and she was scared of what was to follow. "Oh please. Colonel! Don't strap me. I'm sorry. I've learned my lesson. Honest I have. " She began to plead in despiration. Unfortunately The Colonel was deaf to her plea. He had heard the same a thousand times and has never given in. Once his punishment was dictated it was carried out. No excuses. No delays. "Young lady" The Colonel scolded. "You've just provided me cause to give you an additional 2 swats. If your not bent over this chair with your PJ's at your knees by the time I count to five you'll get another three swats on top of it. One.... Two..." Paula hurried to the chair, bent over at his count of four, and before he could say "five" had pulled her flannel bottoms pulled down. In tears she gripped the seat of the chair. She was frightened and embarrassed. Everyone in the room could see her naked red butt. The Colonel's strap landed without warning. The CRACK echoed through the Institute like a bolt of lightning. Paula cried out and stood up dancing toe to toe clutching her bottom. "Oww Owe waa! Please no more! No more!" She begged. The Colonel was relentless but calm. He pulled her by the arm while sitting in the chair and dragged her asross his left lap. He put his right leg over her legs and pulled her hands behind her back and held them with his left hand. Though she struggled, her 105 lbs. was no match for him. The Colonel was 5'10" tall and 195 lbs of solid man. "You'll now get double - twice in this position young lady" he scolded. "Once with my hand and again with the strap. His hand began to rise and fall rapidly not even giving her a chance to count. Her struggling continued and his spanks grew harder. Sixteen times his large hard hand splatted across her virgin backside. She cried and struggled to no avail. Her strength and energy was soon diverted from fighting to free herself to bearing the pain inflicting on her backside. The Colonel had no problem delivering 16 blistering hot smacks to her flamming bare ass. As soon as the hand spanking finished he picked up the strap, wrapped it once around the palm of his hand leaving a the twin tails about 10" long. "You'll count these young lady all16." he said. "I don't need to tell you the consequence if you mis-count do I" No sooner had she responded "No" the strap made it's mark across the tops of her thighs. AAAAWWWW!! she screamed "ONE THANK YOU SIR" The other students watched in awe. The ones still in their rooms listened in awe. They could only imagine what their classmates must be going through. CRACK!! "OOOOWWWWW!!! --- TWO" she cried out and pounded her fists against the legs of the chair. CRACKKK!!! "OW OOWW OOOOOWWW!!!!! THREE THANK YOU SIR" The Colonel paused momentarily to scold her once again. "Young lady. If you continue to yell out like that I'll extend your punishment until you learn to take your spanking like a big girl. There's no room here for your childish behavior." CRACK!! CRACK!!! CRACCKKK!!!!! The lashes fell quickly and Paula barely had time to count before the next lash burned a new stripe across her ass. Her courage grew under the rain of waks and she was able to keep her yelps and outcries to a minimum. Having administered all sixteen The Colonel helped her up from his lap. Oh, how she wanted to comfort her burning ass but knew better. She certainly didn't want anymore spanks or swats. She stood facing the Colonel. He shook his finger at her and scolded again. "I hope you've learned a few lessons young lady." Still crying she knodded her head "yes". "Now pull up your bottoms and return to kneeling with the others." Quickly her bottoms were pulled up and she had returned to her kneel. The Colonel stood and looked across all six kneeling before him. Pointing his finger he said. "Carolyn! Your next!" Not wanting to go through the ordeal that her roommate just did she immediatly stood and made her way to the chair. Bending over she reached back and pulled down her bottoms. Her tall, 6'1", very thin frame was in position. Her bottom awaited his strap. Though it had been a few years, she was no stranger to the strap. Adopted by a strict aunt at the age of 12 she found herself in a similar position almost weekly for three years until her aunt died when she was 15. She was then shuffled from foster to foster until she turned 18 and had been on her own for the last 7 years. She had hoped that her bottom would never again feel the bite of a leather strap but unfortunately her life had gone astray and now once again... She's naked from the waist down, bent over a chair, waiting for the familiar SNAP! and the resulting bite of the strap. The strap began to rise and fall with the resounding CRACK! Carolyn held tightly onto the chair seat and only flinched slightly with each stroke. Thanking the Colonel and counting each stroke as instructed she held brave and resilient to the the stripped portrait being painted upon her thin bottom. With the count of six she was allowed to rise and pull up her PJ's and returned to kneel with the others. The other young man, Randy, was next. He too was familiar with the bite of the strap. At 26yrs. old he had been active in a D/S relationship with a dom. Baring his bottom in front of others for a good dose of a strap or a paddle wasn't a new experience and six of the Colonel's best wasn't anything compared to some of the punishments he endured at the hands of his mistress. The last two gals to experience the Colonel's wrath were Patty and Roxanne. Patty just could'nt keep still enough for the Colonel's satisfaction and receiveed an additional two strokes. Roxanne, though she'd been spanked frequently as a child but never with anything other than a hand, did surprisingly well. The Colonel's six lashes bit into her naked ass and although it was somewhat a new experience for the gal of 27yrs she managed to endure her punishment bravely. Once allsix had been duly chastised they were ordered to return to their rooms and remove their PJ bottoms and correct what ever infraction caused them to fail the inspection. When they were finished they were to stane in the corner an await the Colonel to come and re-inspect their room. If their efforts still did not please the Colonel they could expect another dose of the strap. Surprisingly, some 45 minutes later the Colonel was pleased to find all rooms to his satisfaction. The staff was dismissed and the students were all sent to bed as it was now 9:45 - past lights out time. The Colonel and Miss Price met at his office for their promised rendezvous. They left the main building for The Colonel's residence. Yet apart from the main complex, The Colonel's residence was a stand alone house at a far off corner of the property. All other staff members, except the secretary and janitorial personell who lived in town, resided at the Institute.
