"I'm afraid I'm quite sure we are too late.", Giles told Xander, "His power is too strong. We have to concentrate on destroying him, freeing his victims, but also protecting ourselves from Buffy."
"What?!", Xander asked, rightfully freaked, "we're her pals, her amigos, her buds. She has to still know that."
"Mesmotto has her now. As men who care about her, we actually pose the largest threat in Mesmotto's mind. Remember he fears the rage of men enflamed by

jealousy."
"Yeah, but do you really think Buffy would hurt us?"
"If his power is as strong as I fear it is, she would snap our spines with a smile if he instructed her to."
"A smile?", Xander whimpered.

"I'll gladly snap their spines, Master.", Buffy told Mesmotto when he asked about her friends. She was so afraid they were going to try to take her away from him. After hours of passionately serving her master's sexual needs, and letting him bring her to new heights of ecstacy, she was even more determined to stay his slave.
"I know you will my love, I know you will. We can't have that though.", Mesmotto told her, "I am not the
first to escape from the netherworld. In fact, it happens so often that there are special bounty hunters who do nothing but hunt down netherworld refugees. Their main tracking tool is the bloodshed the refugee inevitably causes in the mortal realm. The netherworld is made up of tortured souls. Those who are angry about being taken too early, often those who have been murdered. Many times, victims of netherworld refugees end up in the netherworld themselves, tipping the bounty hunters off. I have seen too many refugees go down like this. Fear not though, my pet, I have a way to make sure your friends never bother us...."

 

Giles carefully loaded the syringe full of sedative. This was the only safe way to stop Buffy. He had decided this was far too dangerous a place for Xander and Anya. He instructed them to pack a few things and get out of town immediately. He felt it was better that way. He just hoped they would get away in time.

"Are you ready Anya?", Xander yelled from the other room. He knew she was scared too, so he hadn't been

pushing too hard. He needed to get her out of here though, and he didn't hear any thing coming from the next room, so he knew she wasn't paking.
"Xander, we don't have to leave Buffy won't hurt us. She is happy now. She just wants to be able to live her life the way she wants too. She wants to serve Mesmotto. We should let her make her own decisions. We are her friends, and we should support her.", Anya said to her boyfriend in a very blank, almost dazed
tone. She barely spoke loud enough for him to hear from the other room. This didn't make any sense to Xander. Ten minutes ago, Anya was asking how they could kill Buffy if she showed up. Anya didn't hide her fear very well. Xander's felt like his heart stopped. He knew what happened. Anya must have been hypnotized. Mesmotto must be outside with her. Xander grabbed a baseball bat, ready to run out screaming, in order to scare the monster away from his love.
"Mesmotto, you best back off, cuz there's a can of

Harris Whoop Ass comin' your way!", he yelled.
"Is that so?", Buffy asked, sarcastically. Now Xander's heart really stopped. Buffy had found them. He knew there was no where he could run. His time had come.
"Anya?", Xander yelled, he feared she was already dead.
"Uh huh?", she responded, as if she was half asleep.
"Don't worry Xander, I didn't hurt her. In fact I made her feel good. She is relaxed, floating in a cloud deep within her mind. When you and I are finished, I'll take her to her new life ... then she'll be as happy as I am."

Buffy walked into the back room where Xander stood, frozen in fear.
"Buf, you've got to listen to me. You are not yourself. You can fight this.", he pleaded.
"You're right Xander, I am not my regular self ... I'm better.", she said, making a point to look right into Xander's eyes.
"What's with the new get up? You look like you just stepped off Dynasty.", Xander quipped. He made stupid little jokes when he was nervous. Right now he was more nervous than he had ever been. He was sure he was going to die at the hands of his best friend.
"Well, Xand, I decided it was time to dress more like a lady. I think a certain level of sophistication is fitting for
someone with my power, don't you think?", Buffy asked, as she made a little modeling pose. Xander secretly agreed. He had an erection, as he often did around Buffy. He was surprised that even in his last moments, part of him was still only thinking about sex.
"You know my power Xander, you probably as well as anyone. I am so strong. Not just physically, but mentally too. You are not though, are you Xander?", Buffy asked. Her tone was playful and seductive.
"I-I guess not", Xander answered. He didn't know what to say.
"He's made me even more powerful now Xander. He gave me the power to take control. Look at me Xander, look into my eyes. Your mind is weak Xander. You know and I know it. Relax. I can overpower you. You know that. Fall deeper into my eyes. Let me take over Xander you are not strong enough to fight me. Hear only my voice. I know I turn you on Xander. I know you are hard right now. Falling
deeper into my eyes, relaxing more and more. You are falling under my spell Xander, you know you are. Sexually, and mentally, you are surrendering to me. Let it happen Xander, I am stronger than you. It is too hard to fight. It is so easy to give in. Touch your self Xander, touch your hard cock. Listen and obey. Rub yourself Xander. Look at me, see how much I turn you on, and rub yourself. It feels so good. You are hypnotized now Xander, it is not your fault. It was too hard to fight. Let my voice fill your mind. Rub harder. Obey me. My words are your thoughts. Rub. It feels so good. You have submitted to my power. It is over now. You can let go. When I count to three you can cum for me Xander. You can cum on three, then fall into a beautiful hypnotic slumber. One Two Three.", Buffy commanded. The boy in front of her writhed in pleasure for a short moment, then collapsed on the floor. Her master taught her well. It was time to plant the suggestions. Master would also be pleased that she brought him a new plaything. Anya would be quite happy now.
