the feathery Maid

Missy led them to the outside grounds of the mansion with a bucket of spray, rags, and feather dusters. Once outside Missy started her way to the statues with a bottle of spray and one of the rags and was about to clean, but he noticed that Terramar was still standing up at the front door rubbing his arms looking both anxious and embarrassed.

"You good?" Missy asked once they were outside

"Uhh...well...well anyone sees us...in...in these?" Terramar worrying questioned

Missy just giggled but noticed Terramar wasn't laughing with him.

"Oh, don't worry no one ever comes around to mistresses Honey's home...and besides the fence is aligned with the small electric jammer if someone tries to use their phone or some kind of spy equipment." Missy explained trying to treasure his new workmate, "But try not to bend down that much."

Terramar calmed down a bit and then went over to his new friend and took his bottle of spray and rag and he watched how Missy was cleaning the statues and tried his best to copy him. After an hour of dusting the statues, Terramar kept looking at the statues still amazed at how detailed they were. But he was still a bit scared seeing the one who looked like the rapist who attacked him. As he dusted off the stone tutu a question came to mind.

"Hey, Missy?" Terramar questioned

"Uh, oh whatcha need?" Missy asked

"Oh, it's nothing importing, but I wanted to know...who made these statues because they're very lovely." Terramar questioned

"Oh...well they're not...not real statues..." Missy trailed off

Terramar just looked dumbfounded.

"I don't follow." Terramar stated

"Well...they're actually creatures under these stone skins..." Missy explained trying not to make it sound creepy

"Wh...what?" Terramar blurted out

Terramar looked again at the statue and felt sick to his stomach and realized it was the same woman who raped him.

"Oh, don't worry, they're all criminals...like that one your dusting off was trying to mug an officer and they found out she was also a rapist...so she was set to a stone prison for (AUGGKK)" Missy was cut off

Missy saw how Terramar vomited and was on the ground trying to keep back more vomit. Missy went over to him and kneed next to him and padded his back.

"Hey, you ok?" Missy asked

"Y...noo...no I'm not..." Terramar mumbled

"Wanna talk about it?" Missy asked

Terramar looked scared and Missy noticed how he would peek up at the statue but then turned back to Missy.

"Do...Do...Do I have to?" Terramar asked clearer scared

Missy was worried for his new friend and was confused but then a connection came to mind.

"No, you don't...umm why don't you start with the gardening...there's not much with the dusting... so I'll complete these and clean up your puke...and you can start with the garden and I'll join you." Missy explained

"Th...thanks..." Terramar mumbled

Missy helped Terramar up and gave him some tools for the garden and a list of what to do. Terramar went over to one part of it where a bed of roses was with some new plants he guess he had to put in and kneel down in front of them. But he felt the skirt lift up behind him and he tried to push it down but it was stiff so he tried his best to not bend over to give anyone they might have found a way to spy on them, and won't give them a show.

He began to put the new plants in the ground and he did his best to place them in without hurting them. Tending to the garden gave him a calm state of mind and he felt safe and secure. He remembered how when his dad started dating the captain of the guards "Seaspray" he tried to start a small veggie garden and Terramar helped out with it, but it kept getting eaten, so they moved it inside to a small greenhouse they set up and it just didn't feel the same to them.

"Wow, you're doing a pretty good job!" Missy exclaimed

Terramar looked up to see Missy kneeling down next to him admiring Terramar's work and the hippogriff even blushed.

"Oh...thanks!" Terramar responded

"So, where did you learn to garden like this?" Missy asked starting to join Terramar

"Oh, my stepdad taught me this." Terramar answered

"Oh...umm...I'm sorry for your loss..." Missy anxiously said

Terramar looked confused.

"What....are you talking about?" Terramar questioned

"Oh...OH, I thought your real dad was dead, Oh I'm so sorry!" Missy apizgoied

"Oh, oh no my parents just...decided to separate when I was...I was eight and my sister was ten..." Terramar explained

"Ohh...can I ask why?" Missy asked, "But only if you're comfortable!"

Terramar just giggled a little making Missy blush a bit.

"Well...they lost their spark, and found other loves..." Terramar began to explain but was a tad anxious, "When me and my sister were young, my dad figured out he was gay...and my mom didn't want o hold him back, and also she found out she was bi..."

Terramar began to rub the back of his neck the best he could with the collar on.

"And when they told us about it...me and my sister were of course terrified and sadden by this...but they explained it to us and we learned to live with it." Terramar explained, "And besides, our step-dad is pretty cool...but our mom had a hard time finding someone...but she did manage to find a girl to start dating."

"Oh, wow!" Missy exclaimed, "Hey...what it's like having a small family......and a dad?"

"Huh, how big is your family, and what happened to your dad?" Terramar asked

"My dad...dead...a while back...before I was born...and...and...uhh...I have two moms now...and about...ten sisters..." Missy mumbled

Terramar looked surprised at Missy.

"Ten!" Terramar blurted out

Missy looked embarrassed and chuckled a bit.

"Yeah...my mom had...Decuplets daughters...then I was born..." Missy explained

"How many sisters again?" Terramar asked

"Well, ten...my sisters are, Dixie, Mixie, Trixie, Elexie, Maxie, Nyxie, Roxie, Tixie, Maxie, and Luxie." Missy listed off

Terramar was even more surprised.

"I can see a pattern." Terramar stated

"Yeah...my birth mom had major OCD, and needed names to match up...until I was born and my step-mom choose my name." Missy explained, "Hey can you hand me those sears."

"Of sure here you go." Terramar said handing the sears over to Missy

They continue their work and then went over to a small area of rainbow-colored wildflowers. their backs were turned to the wall as Missy was de-thorning the flowers and Terramar was tasked with getting rid of the weeds.

"Hey...Terramar?" Missy asked

"Yeah?" Terramar responded

"Who is your sister?" Missy asked

"Oh, I have an older sister named Silverstream." Terramar answered, "She's at some school of friendship for...something I don't remember..."

"So, what's she like?" Missy asked

"Well...when our dad explained he was gay, she was confused and asked if that was possible." Terramar explained, "And after our parents said it was and how it was normal for others to feel like that...hehe she shot up from her seat and shouted how she found out she was girls all excited and even past out from it."

Missy couldn't help but laugh and Terramar joined him.

"Hehe, your family sounds fun!" Missy exclaimed

"Yeah...they are..." Terramar whispered

"Say, Terramar why did you come here?" Missy asked

Terramar looked nervous to say anything and Missy was a bit worried for him.

"Uhh...never mind!" Missy blurted out

Missy went back to tending and Terramar did as well. After another hour of working, they were finished and had to head in. Terramar felt a bit more convinced in his outfit and even got used to the binders and collar but his wings still ached and he would sometimes feel an inch on the back of his neck.

Once inside Missy put the cleaning items away and then lead him to the kitchen so they could start dinner. Terramar had to wash his hands and Missy was getting everything ready.

"What are we making?" Terramar asked

"The Mistress's favorite work meal of curse!" Missy answered

"And that is?" Terramar pressed on

"Oh, right it's just a simple seafood plate...mostly just filled with shrimp and crab." Missy explained putting each item of food on a counter

Missy began to break up the crab as quietly as he could and Terramar made his way over and didn't know what to do.

"Hey, Terramar could you start cutting up the veggies please?" Missy asked

Terramar gulped seeing the knife and was about to grab it but noticed the scars on his wrist and felt like breaking down.

"Umm...Mi...Missy?" Terramar stuttered

"Huh, yeah Terramar?" Missy asked

"Could...could you cut these up please...and I'll do the meat part..." Terramar tumbled

Missy could see it in the hippogriff's eyes seeing how scared he was just looking at the knife and agreed.

"Alright, I can do that for you." Missy answered

They switched their spots and started preparing to cook. Missy began to mix all the veggies together and Terramar was starting to pan-fry the shrimp. Missy looked over at Terramar seeing he was calmer and got a whiff of the shrimp, after getting done with the salad he went over to Terramar to look at the shrimp.

"Wow, that smell's sooo gooodd!" Missy complemented

"Really...oh the...thank you...." Terramar began to blush to try to find the words to say to Missy

"Is diner almost done, maids?"

Missy and Terramar jumped and saw that Honey was at the doorway only wearing a black silk top and navy-blue tights. Missy looked worried and started a courtesy and Terramar just stood there like a tree but Missy grumbled under his breath and Terramar quickly did the same thing embarrassed in his short skirt.

"At ease maids." Honey stated

Missy stood back up and Terramar followed almost tripping. They watched how their mistress walked over to the stovetop and stabbed one of her claws into a shrimp and quickly plucked it into her beak. She took a few bites and Terramar wasn't that anxious but Missy nudged his shoulder.

"You better hope she likes it...if not you'll be cleaning the walls with a tooth-brush for a month..." Missy warned as quietly as he could

Terramar gulped at Missy's warning but then saw mistress Honey put a couple more into her mouth and seem delighted.

"Oh, my, my you did an excellent job new maid." Honey complemented

"Oh, thank you, mistress!" Terramar exclaimed in glee, "It's just my step-feathers recipe but it worse wonders for the taste buds."

Honey then wiped her claws and walked past her maids.

"Get dinner done and bring it to my workshop, then after you, two will be done for the night." Honey stated, "I'll be in my work-shop all night, your payment will be in your room along with your clothes and phones, you can leave for the night but be back before five in the morning to start working, oh and..."

Honey took out her phone and pressed something and Terramar felt his collar unclick and it fell off along with Missy's. They took their collars off and Terramar rubbed his sore neck and it felt so good.

"Make, sure you both are in your outfits by morning and a list of morning chores will be ready." Honey stated

Mistress Honey left the kitchen and Missy and Terramar quickly got the meal done and Missy vonenter brought it to Mistress Honey. He also lead Terramar to there room were Terramar saw his bag on his bed and quickly took some clothes out and changed.

Getting the wings binders off was the only hard part and when he changed his underwear he was a bit shock at the chastity cage but before he asked for it. He sat on his new bed and checked his phone seeing some messages mostly from his sister begging for Terramar to call him to talk so Terramar made a mental note to call her back later. But for now, he lay down and felt the soft bed and let out a relaxed sigh.

"I...I can get used to this..." Terramar whispered to himself
