Rose had walked up to her room as Mistress Abby worked out the orders for the following day. It was as Rose left the room when the Mistress flicked the switch near the table.
Billy had been taken back to his room by the two girls and he sat on the bed, he had not spoken in all the time it had taken to get to the house from the shed. The girl standing on the inside of the door until the mistress had been in and checked on him said, "You are not speaking, Billy, are you feeling sick?"
Billy turned his head and looked her way, he opened his mouth and found at first he could not speak. He closed his mouth and breathed in deeply then asked, "How many girls were in that shed tonight?"
"It would be the entire nursery, Billy."
A tear run down his cheek as he said, "Rose is destroying me. That which she commanded was not a form of punishment...it was a pornographic display to excite her sick and depraved mind. She watches me with her sick evil eyes and with the twisted sneer of a gargoyle. I fear her sick sadistic nature more than I fear Mistress Abby and her implements of pain."
"Mistress Abby whipped you hard for three days and the entire nursery could see that you were in immense pain. The mistress was hurting you, Billy."
"You are wrong in all that you have said, what is your name?"
"I am Penny."
"You must never say that my Mistress was hurting me because that was never the case. My Mistress was showing me pain and punishing me. I have worked it out that the bite of the flogger, the whip and the cane is instant. The pain that follows is the essence of the bite, and if the nerve highway was slowed down I would feel nothing until the last stroke."
"It is Rose that is hurting me deep in my heart she is eating my soul from the inside out. I believe that now I have only one person that is true and real, she is Mistress Abby that will never hurt me."
"She is the person that gives you punishment, Billy."
"Once again you are wrong, Penny. Rose is giving me punishment by guiding the hand of my Mistress and I trust my Mistress never to hurt me."
"Mistress Rose has said that you have been lying about looking for work, and that you have been cheating on her by seeing and sleeping with another girl."
"Mistress Rose is a very deluded person and there is a law in the UK that states that you are innocent unless proved guilty without a shadow of doubt. Mistress Rose is digging her hole very deep and should the sides collapse I will not be there to save her."
"What makes you believe that Mistress Abby is your Mistress, Billy?"
"It is because she has told me many times by saying, "You serve your Mistress well Slave." I have never had a Mistress until now and I doubt that I will ever need another. The Mistress I have now was there to save my life at three in the morning and I owe her a lifetime of loyalty for that small act of kindness. Whether it is here in the Nursery or outside that perimeter wall I now dare anyone to bad mouth Mistress Abby."
"You are very loyal to your Mistresses, Billy."
"I only have one Mistress and that is Mistress Abby, Mistress Rose only has the power that my Mistress allows her, Penny. I must sleep as my day has been tiring." Billy dropped his shorts and slipped between the sheets."
"Good night and sleep well, Billy."
"Goodnight, Penny."
Upstairs in the lounge Mistress Abby flicked the switch and wiped the tear from her eye. By the time Mistress Abby had walked up to Billy's room Billy was asleep. As she walked into the room she dismissed Penny that went out to get to her own bed. The mistress stepped silently to sit in the chair at the side of the bed. She was looking at him for a short time and just as she was about to stand up his eyes sprang open.
He tried to lift his body up on seeing her, but her hand shot across and gently pushed him back. Rest, Billy, this is your time. You never let me down with your respect and loyalty for me. I have no idea what Mistress Rose will do tomorrow but expect the worst."
Mistress Abby rose up from her seat and said, "You are very strong, Billy. Those other girls in the shed do not like the treatment that Mistress Rose is forcing you to do. You have more friends here than you might believe. You will last the course because your mind is strong and always remember that words are just words."
"I must go to my bed, and tomorrow is another day." She turned to walk from his bedside but looked down and said, "You serve your Mistress Well, Billy. I will not have anyone say different."
When Billy opened his eyes the sun was shining through the window and he waited until his eyes adjusted to the light and slipped his to the edge of the bed. He sat there until he heard the door being unlocked and one of the guards walked in with his breakfast. She placed the tray on the small table and as she walked out the other walked in and stood at the door.
It had not taken long for Billy to eat his breakfast and drink the orange juice. Once he had finished and the debris was taken away he sat on the edge of the bed and wondered what Rose was going to say or do. He looked at the clock the at the same time as the guard and she said come on Billy it is time to go to the shed and he was soon standing.
He had noted that the guards both had windproof waist coats on and it was not until he stepped out of the main house door he realised why. There was a damp wind blowing and it put goose pimples over his torso but he walked on looking at the small clouds rushing over the sky. There were some small grey clouds in the mix and bigger ones on the horizon this had all the makings of being a bad spring day.
He was glad when he was led into the big shed and the door was closed. Five minutes later he was hanging in the frame and one of the girls pulled his shorts down ready for whatever punishment Mistress Abby was going to administer. The first few girls walked in with Rose leading them and sitting to the front of the audience.
Then as the short time went by all of the seats were filled at the same time rose was looking at him with a sick and twisted smile on her face. He had noticed also as the girls had been entering to take their seats his penis had been getting stiff. He then knew that his food had been tampered with once more and he could not trust the kitchen anymore. As he looked back at Rose Mistress Abby passed him and sat down next to Rose.
"Good morning, Slave."
