Chapter 79: Calming, So That's What He Meant

The sounds that Jessabell was making had stopped, and when she spoke again, I was very close to where she was. So close that I need to restrain myself from trying to peek out of the blanket that was covering me.

"The Master did say that when he found me, but even he is scary! I heard how he makes you cry out when he visits! I don't want to cry like that!" Jessabell cried, and now I could tell that Veronica must be almost right beside her.

"What the Master does to me doesn't hurt me that much, and I ask him to do it to me. I think if you tried it with someone, you might feel less trepidation about it," Candice said, and that was my cue.

I sat up and pulled the blanket off me and was hit with a wave of excitement, nervousness, and adrenaline, all at the same time. It was like sitting at a desk with a blindfold on and then taking it off to find that I was on a rollercoaster that was just about to hit the shit and do a twenty-meter drop.

I turned to a horror-stricken Jessabell who had an adorably cute face, but it looked to be about to explode with terror. I tossed the blanket over her head before she could let out the scream that she had been sucking in the wind for, and Jessabell froze.

At the same time, Veronica lowered herself to about Jessabell's waist height. The blanket wasn't big enough to cover the second pair of breasts, but it dramatically affected Jessabell.

"Hurry! Pull her onto my back, and then keep the blanket over her head! We will take you both back to the Master's home, but you will have to keep her calm. The blanket will only do so much, and once we go outside, things will only get worse for her," Veronica explained to me as I did as I was told, pulling Jessabell to come and lay down.

I was astonished by how well she acted with the blanket over her head, but at the same time, it was scary. The fact that a blanket could do so much to her must have been one of the reasons why Mex was protecting her, and I could see how others might abuse this.

I was going to have to find a way to deal with this fear in the future, but for now, I just needed to get her back to the apartment. Then I was going to have to find a place to put her; hopefully, Jilly will have already made something for her, but I had no idea what it would be.

Jessabell laid down over my lap, and Veronica lifted herself up slowly and then started to walk without any trouble. I wasn't overly heavy, but between Jessabell and me, there had to be a lot of weight pushing down on Veronica's back, but it didn't seem to bother her at all.

I reached down and made sure that the one end of the blanket was still tucked between my legs and Jessabells breasts. As I did, Jessabell let out a small whimper, and I pulled my hand back like I had just realized I had stuck my hand into a basket of vipers.

"Sorry, I did not want to do this, but I need to get you back to the Master's Keep so we can keep you safe. I know that you probably don't think that is true right now, and I can't really blame you. My name is Kazz, and I am… a Rancher that takes care of monster girls, and the Master, Mex, asked me to come and get you to bring back to the Keep," I explained, but I only felt Jessabell tense up as I spoke.

I wasn't really sure what I could tell someone that was scared of everything. I started to unconsciously stroke Jessabell's back as Veronica and Candice made their way out of the maze, and I felt some of the tension start to leave Jessabell.

That made sense, and I know that I found it relaxing when someone did the same to me. I started to pay more attention to what I was doing, and soon I felt Jessabell go completely limp over me.

"Well, that is one way to do it," Candice said quietly from beside me, and I smiled at her.

"I just hope that she doesn't lose it when we get back, and I have to take the blanket off her head. When I took it off, it was a huge rush, and it was all I could do to quickly get the blanket over the top of her head," I whispered back.

"Yes, well, I hope that you have somewhere safe to put her from now," Veronica said as we reached the entrance to the maze and then walked out.

The girls both stopped and looked back at the maze for a moment, and I could almost tell what they must be thinking as they looked longingly at the entrance. This was a big step for them, and I was sure they had started to consider this place as their home.

"You girls can come back and visit still," I said, not really sure what to say, but both the girls turned back with beautiful smiles to look at me.

"This place has always been a safe place for us, but I don't think that it could be called our home. We have never had a home, so for me, I was just thinking about what it will finally be like," Veronica said and then turned her head back to facing forward.

"Yes, good riddance! And now I can be closer to the Master!" Candice said quietly, and I grinned at her.

"You do know that the Master has a wife, right?" I asked with a raised eyebrow, and then I got a confused look from Candice.

"Hmmm? Master said that you were taking care of his wife for him so he could give me more attention, right?" Candice asked me, and I rolled my eyes.

What Mex had said yesterday started to make a lot more sense, but then I felt Candice tense underneath me.

Great.
