The slight catch in your breath was all they needed to know they had you. The soft gasp, as the crystal was revealed and began to swing. They knew you wouldn’t be able to resist staring. That you wouldn’t want to resist staring. Not anymore. Not when the crystal was so pretty.
They were enjoying it. Watching your mind drain away, draining into the crystal as it swung. You could feel your thoughts being sucked away, moment by moment, just as your body was relaxing, your eyes growing heavy, but you couldn’t close them. You had to watch.
Each movement of the crystal caused light to be refracted off of each of its facets, dazing what was left of your mind. Their words were penetrating into your head, giving you new thoughts to fill the empty space. Your eyes felt like there were rocks, hanging from them by now.
But they would not close. You did not want to close your eyes. Not when the crystal was so captivating, so beautiful. No. They promised you, you could close your tired, heavy eyes soon, but for now, all you had to do was watch the crystal, and drop deeper.
