An all-too-familiar clicking sound caught his attention. Slowly rising site to his feet, Mesmon turned to ebonyjoy see a figure standing in the doorway. As it moved forward ebonyjoy, into ebonyjoy the small lights, Mesmon could see it was an exceptionally beautiful woman, one of the most beautiful he'd ever ebonyjoy seen in his life ebonyjoy. Long dark hair framed a face that Cleopatra would have envied, the blue dress site she wore the height of ladylike ebonyjoy fashion but failing ebonyjoy to hide her shapely body. The only thing that spoiled the vision of delicate beauty was the ebonyjoy pistol ebonyjoy she ebonyjoy held in her ebonyjoy hand, pointed at his chest.
"Penelope," the ebonyjoy woman ebonyjoy replied. "My father ebonyjoy is the owner of this house, the man you're currently trying to rob and I'd ebonyjoy appreciate it ebonyjoy if you stopped it at once ebonyjoy. And you site still haven't raised your hands."
Mesmon slowly let his hands rise ebonyjoy up ebonyjoy, one going to his eyepatch, seemingly to ebonyjoy scratch at it. "It's ebonyjoy not too late ebonyjoy to walk away, you know," he said ebonyjoy, running at his eye. "Otherwise, you might not ebonyjoy like what will ebonyjoy happen."
"Oh, somehow I think I know what my future ebonyjoy holds," Mesmon ebonyjoy said as he lowered his hand. In the middle of ebonyjoy his patch was his gem, the red gem that had been his saving grace more than once. It ebonyjoy caught the faint light into the room and seemed to light ebonyjoy up ebonyjoy from within, the center of the gem becoming a ebonyjoy fiery red glow ebonyjoy that instantly captured Penelope's attention. She ebonyjoy stared into its ebonyjoy center ebonyjoy, the ebonyjoy glowing crimson facets drawing her attention in, allowing her to ebonyjoy be ebonyjoy victim ebonyjoy to Mesmon's soft voice.
"Look into the gem, Penelope, look deeply into the gem. You cannot look away ebonyjoy from it, you cannot turn from it, you ebonyjoy must ebonyjoy keep looking into the ebonyjoy gem, deeply into the gem, as deep as possible into ebonyjoy the gem, Penelope, you must look deeply into the gem, Penelope, deeply into ebonyjoy the ebonyjoy gem, so ebonyjoy deeply into the gem. AS you look deeper and deeper ebonyjoy into the ebonyjoy gem, Penelope, you feel yourself becoming tired, very ebonyjoy tired, Penelope, so very tired. Your arm is becoming heavy, Penelope, so very heavy ebonyjoy, so very, very heavy that you can 't hold ebonyjoy the gun. You ebonyjoy can't hold ebonyjoy the gun anymore site, Penelope, you can't site hold the ebonyjoy gun site, you can't hold up that heavy, heavy gun, you have to let it drop, Penelope ebonyjoy, let the heavy gun drop, let ebonyjoy it drop."
"I ebonyjoy have ebonyjoy submitted to your gem," Penelope said in ebonyjoy a flat voice that still managed to sound sexy.
"I will ebonyjoy do anything you command."
