Dr. Stone And Dr. Kahn Put Diane D Under Hypnosis Fifteen minutes later, Diane D is laying up on a dark brown leather psychiatrist couch that has metal bars beneath the sides inside a large room as her family, Dr. Stone and Dr. Kahn surround her. Dr. Stone then turns to Diane D's family and says, “You all can wait outside now.”
“Okay,” Margarita says. Margarita turns to Diane D and says, “Diane, vamos a estar e el pasillo.”
“Okay Grandma,” Diane D says.
“We’ll be right back baby,” Barry says.
“Okay Dad."
“Nos vemos luego,” Mary says.
Diane D waves her hand to her family as her family take one last look at her. Diane D’s family then turn and walk towards the doorway.
Forty-five minutes later, Diane D's family is sitting out in the hallway. Dr. Stone's Indian female nurse approaches them and says to them, “Doctor Stone now has Diane under hypnosis.”
“He does?” Tomas asks.
“Yes. He said not every family member can come inside the room. He said only up to ten family members can come in."
"Only ten family members?" Margarita asks.
"Yes, the ten family members who were actually inside the house the night Diane's other personality came out. He especially wants the two cousins who heard and witnessed Diane's other personality to be inside the room."
"The two cousins?" Barry asks. "You mean Nancy and Charlotte."
"Yes, those two."
"Okay." Barry turns towards Nancy and Charlotte and says. "Okay girls, let's go."
Nancy, Charlotte, Barry, Margarita, Tomas, Mary, Tonio, Marilyn, Nicolas and Michael stand up from their seats as Gracy, Grandpa Mike, Mickey, Aunt Celeste and Aunt Laura remain in their seats.
Gracy turns to Margarita and Tomas and says, "We'll wait right here Margarita and Tomas."
"Thanks Gracy and Mike," Margarita and Tomas says. The nurse turns away and leads Margarita, Tomas, Mary, Barry, Tonio, Marilyn, Nicolas, Michael, Nancy and Charlotte down the hallway.
As the nurse leads Margarita, Tomas, Mary, Barry, Tonio, Marilyn, Nicolas, Michael, Nancy and Charlotte down the hallway, she turns to them all and says, "You all can come into the room now to watch and listen. Dr. Stone said for me to quietly bring you into the room again, because he doesn’t want Diane to know that you all are inside the room. He wants to make sure that Diane is not influenced into saying just anything out of the ordinary, if she knows that her family is inside the room watching and listening.
So when I bring you all inside the room, please come in as quiet as possible. We can’t let Diane know that you all are inside the room. And before we go inside the room, all 76
cell phones must be turned off. There cannot be any disturbances during the hypnosis process.”
“No problem nurse,” Margarita says.
“Okay. Follow me.” The nurse turns around and walks down the hallway as Margarita, Tomas, Mary, Barry, Tonio, Marilyn, Nicolas, Michael, Nancy and Charlotte turn off all their cell phones and continue to follow her.
The nurse reaches outside the room door and stops as Margarita, Tomas, Mary, Barry, Tonio, Marilyn, Nicolas, Michael, Nancy and Charlotte come behind her and stop.
The nurse turns to them and whispers, “I’m going to quietly bring you guys back inside the room. When we go inside, this time, I‘m going to quietly bring you all to the middle of the room.”
“The middle of the room?” Margarita whispers.
"Yes. Dr. Stone wants you all closer to Diane this time."
"Oh yeah?" Tomas aks. "Why?"
"To make sure you all are able to hear the hypnosis process. Plus there will be a microphone pointing at Diane and the doctors so the sound can come out of the speakers so you all can hear the hypnosis better."
"Okay."
"Now remember everybody, all cell phones off." The nurse turns around and quietly opens the room door. She then heads into the room as Margarita, Tomas, Mary, Barry, Tonio, Marilyn, Nicolas, Michael, Nancy and Charlotte follow her.
The nurse quietly brings Margarita, Tomas, Mary, Barry, Tonio, Marilyn, Nicolas, Michael, Nancy and Charlotte back into the large room. Margarita, Tomas, Mary, Barry, Tonio, Marilyn, Nicolas, Michael, Nancy and Charlotte quickly turn their heads towards the front of the room. They see Diane D in the front of the room this time lying flat on her back on the psychiatrist couch under hypnosis with her head back and eyes closed with her face pointing high up towards the ceiling. There is a microphone pointing towards her face. There are two video cameras on tripods with the video cameras pointing towards her. There is a thick white sheet laid beneath her back and buttocks making her back and buttocks raised higher off the couch. There are pillows laid beneath her knees making her knees raised higher off the couch. There is a small blanket laid out on top of her waist and hips as her arms and hands rest on top of her abdomin.
Diane D's family then turn their heads back forward and follow the nurse as the nurse quietly leads them towards the middle and side of the room where it is dimly lit and several chairs and speakers are.
Five minutes later, Margarita, Tomas, Mary, Barry, Tonio, Marilyn, Nicolas, Michael, Nancy and Charlotte are quietly sitting in the middle of the room anxiously watching the front of the office at Diane D.
Dr. Stone sits in a chair next to the couch on the right side of Diane D's head as he is slightly leaned towards Diane D with a clipboard and pen in his hands. Dr. Kahn sits in a chair next to the couch on the opposite side of Diane D's head as he is slightly leaned towards Diane D with a clipboard and pen in his hands. Dr. Stone and Dr. Kahn have 77
been talking to Diane D's subconscious for a few minutes taking notes. Dr. Stone continues to speak to Diane D's subconscious as he looks down at her and asks, “Is there a soul, spirit or personality there inside this physical body?” Dr. Stone and Dr.
Kahn stare at Diane D. Diane D does not respond. Her physical body continues to lay on the couch as her eyes remain closed.
Margarita, Tomas, Mary, Barry, Tonio, Marilyn, Nicolas, Michael, Nancy and Charlotte continue to sit quietly in the middle of the room puzzled looking at Diane D.
Dr. Stone continues to look at Diane D and says, “Is there a soul, spirit or personality inside this physical body now? If there is a soul, spirit or personality inside this physical body now, we need you to come out and talk to us. We need to talk to Diane's original soul, spirit and personality first. Is Diane's original soul, spirit or personality in there now? Reveal yourself. Come out and speak to us. Is Diane's original soul, spirit or personality in there now?” Dr. Stone and Dr. Kahn continue to stare at Diane D. Diane D's physical body continues to lay on the couch not responding as her eyes remain closed.
Margarita, Tomas, Mary, Barry, Tonio, Marilyn, Nicolas, Michael, Nancy and Charlotte continue to puzzled look at Diane D.
Dr. Stone then says, “If Diane's original soul, spirit or personality is inside this physical body now, please reveal yourself to us and talk to us.” Suddenly, Diane D
starts to breathe hard. Dr. Stone and Dr. Kahn anxiously look at Diane D as her chest starts to rise and eyeballs seem to roll towards the top of her head underneath her closed eyelids.
Margarita, Tomas, Mary, Barry, Tonio, Marilyn, Nicolas, Michael, Nancy and Charlotte anxiously look at Diane D.
Dr. Stone and Dr. Kahn anxiously look at each other, then back at Diane D. Diane D
continues to breathe hard as her eyes remain closed. Suddenly her breathing slows down, her chest lowers back down. Dr. Stone then asks, “Was that a soul, spirit or personality trying to come out? Is there a soul, spirit or personality inside this physical body now? If there is a soul, spirit or personality inside this physical body now, respond yes by waving your fingers three times when I ask again. Now is there a soul, spirit or personality inside this physical body now?" Diane D continues to lay on the couch as her eyes remain closed. Suddenly her fingers wave once, twice, then three times.
Margarita, Tomas, Mary, Barry, Tonio, Marilyn, Nicolas, Michael, Nancy and Charlotte become excited and nervous as Nicolas turns to them and whispers, "Did y'all see that? She waved her fingers three times!" Nicolas, Margarita, Tomas, Mary, Barry, Tonio, Marilyn, Michael, Nancy and Charlotte continue to anxiously look at Diane D.
Dr. Stone continues to speak to Diane D's subconscious as he looks down at her and says, “Okay good. Now is this Diane's original soul, spirit or personality in there now?
78
Is Diane's original soul, spirit or personality inside this physical body now? If Diane's original soul, spirit or personality is the one inside this physical body now, respond
'Yes' by waving your fingers three times when I ask. If Diane's original soul, spirit or personality is NOT the one inside this physical body now, respond 'No' by waving your fingers twice. Now is Diane's original soul, spirit or personality inside this physical body now? 'Yes' or 'no'?" Diane D continues to lay on the couch as her eyes remain closed. Suddenly her fingers wave once, twice, then three times.
Margarita, Tomas, Mary, Barry, Tonio, Marilyn, Nicolas, Michael, Nancy and Charlotte become anxious and nervous again as Barry turns to them and whispers, "It's her!" Barry, Nicolas, Margarita, Tomas, Mary, Tonio, Marilyn, Michael, Nancy and Charlotte continue to sit quietly in the middle of the room anxiously looking at Diane D.
Dr. Stone continues to look at Diane and says, “This IS Diane's original soul, spirit or personality in there?" Diane D continues to lay on the couch as her eyes remain closed. Her fingers wave once, twice, then three times again. "Okay good," Dr. Stone says. “So Diane, we need to talk to you. We need to find out what happened the night you and your two cousins Nancy and Charlotte were up around two o'clock in the morning chit-chatting inside one of the bedrooms inside your family's home, then you went downstairs to make Martini at the bar and bring the Martini, Vodka and Bacardi back upstairs to the room where your cousins Nancy and Charlotte were waiting for you. Are you able to talk about it now? Do you want to talk about it now? If you are able to talk about it now or willing to talk about it now, respond by saying 'yes' when I ask again. If you are NOT able to talk about it now or NOT willing to talk about it, respond by saying 'no' or wave your fingers twice when I ask again. Now are you able to talk about it now or are you willing to talk about it now? 'Yes' or 'no'?"
Diane D continues to lay on the couch as her eyes remain closed. She suddenly says,
"Yes."
Margarita, Tomas, Mary, Barry, Tonio, Marilyn, Nicolas, Michael, Nancy and Charlotte become anxious and nervous again as Marilyn turns to them and whispers,
"She spoke! She said 'yes'!" Marilyn, Margarita, Tomas, Mary, Barry, Tonio, Nicolas, Michael, Nancy and Charlotte continue to sit quietly in the middle of the room anxiously looking at Diane D.
Dr. Stone then says, “So you're willing to talk about it now?"
"Yes," Diane D says as her eyes remain closed.
"Good."
Dr. Kahn then says, "Okay Diane, this is Dr. Kahn speaking now, okay? What I'm gonna do right now is talk to you and I need you to answer some questions, alright?
What I need for you to do right now is, state your name?"
"State my name?" Diane D asks.
"Yes. I need to hear you say who you are, okay? So who are you or what is your name?"
"Diane."
"You're Diane?"
"Yes."
79
"Good. Now Diane do you speak or understand a specific language?"
"Yes."
"Okay. And what specific language is that? What specific language can you speak and understand?"
"English."
"You can speak and understand English."
"Yes."
"Okay, good. Can you speak and understand any other language? What other language can you speak and understand besides English?"
"Spanish."
"You can speak and understand Spanish?"
"Yes."
"Okay, good. Can you speak and understand any other languages besides English and Spanish? What other languages can you speak and understand besides English and Spanish?"
"Some French."
"You can speak and understand some French?"
"Yes."
"Wow, that's incredible. Can you speak and understand any other languages besides English, Spanish and some French? What other language can you speak and understand besides English, Spanish and some French?"
"That's it."
"That's it? You cannot speak or understand any other language?"
"No."
"So you can mainly speak and understand English, Spanish and some French."
"Yes."
"And nothing else."
"No."
"Okay. Well since we mainly speak English, we're going to continue to communicate to you in English. So Diane, tell us what happened when you and your two cousins Nancy and Charlotte were up one night in the wee ours of the morning.
Tell us what happened when you were all inside one of the upstairs bedrooms inside your family's home."
"Nancy, Charlotte and I were laughing and chit-chatting."
"You, Nancy and Charlotte were laughing and chit-chatting?"
"Yes."
"Then what happened?"
"Charlotte asked me 'how did my meditation go' and asked me 'how did I feel now that I just finished'."
"Your cousin Charlotte wanted to know how did your meditation go and wanted to know how you felt after you just finished?"
"Yes."
"What did you tell her?"
"I told her that I felt so relaxed and so refreshed that I felt free as a bird."
"You told her that you felt relaxed and refreshed that you felt free as a bird?"
"Yes."
"I see. Your cousin Charlotte said she mentioned to you that your grandparents had 80
forbid you from meditating anymore because of these weird state of trances you be getting into. I heard that your grandparents had forbid you from meditating anymore because they claim that these weird state of trances that you be getting into sometimes become violent. Did your grandparents forbid you from meditating anymore?"
"Yes they did."
"They did?"
"Yes."
"Then why did you continue to meditate after your grandparents forbid from meditating anymore?"
"Because it's something I needed to do for myself."
"Something you needed to do for yourself?"
"Yes."
"I see. As a matter of fact, you felt good after you meditated, right?"
"Yes."
"You felt great after you meditated, right?"
"Yes."
"I heard you were in such a good mood and spirit that night, that you wanted to celebrate by having a small drink before you went to bed, right?"
"Right."
"Then your two cousins Nancy and Charlotte decided to join you and have small drinks too, right?"
"Right."
"You three decided to have some Vodka, Bacardi and Martini, right?"
"Right."
"You decided to go downstairs to the family's bar in the living room to make the Martini and get the rest of the liquor and cups out of the bar to bring them right up to the bedroom. Then you turn away from Nancy and Charlotte, walk out the bedroom and leave the room closing the door behind yourself, right?"
"Right."
"What happened when you went downstairs inside your family's home that night?"
"I went to the bar to make the Martini and get the other drinks."
"You went to the bar to make the Martini and get the other drinks?"
"Yes."
DIANE D’S FLASHBACK:
It is near 3:00 in the morning. The downstairs living room of Margarita and Tomas' mansion is dark and dimly lit. It is raining, thundering and lightning outside.
Diane D comes down the stairs. She goes into the living room and looks around. Then she goes to her left and walks several yards to where the bar is. She goes to the bar, grabs some glasses and starts to make the Martini.
Diane D finishes making the Martini and pours some in a glass. Suddenly, there is a loud thunder sound! Diane D quickly turns towards the window and looks up through the window at the rain, thunder and lightning outside. She turns back forward and puts the glass to her mouth and takes a few sips of the Martini tasting it. She enjoys the taste. Then she opens up some other liquor. She pours a teeny bit of liquor in the glass and takes a few sips. She enjoys the taste of the other liquor. There is another 81
loud thunder sound! Suddenly Diane D puzzled looks up in the air. She starts to feel faint. She then starts to feel dizzy. She looks in a mirror at her reflection. She closes her eyes and almost loses her balance as if she’s about to pass out. She takes her hand and painfully holds onto her forehead as she starts to lose her balance. She opens her eyes again and gets woozy. She then turns her head and looks towards the stairs. She reaches her arm and hand out towards the stairs for someone in her family to help as she shouts, "Help! Mom, Dad!" Diane D continues to reach her arm and hand out towards the stairs and shouts, "Grandma, Grandpa!" She then closes her eyes again as she continues to hold her forehead. She starts to fall. She suddenly passes out and collapse on the floor making sort of a thud sound. She lays chest up on the floor near the bar motionless with her head back facing sideways, eyes half closed and eyeballs disappearing behind her half-closed eyelids as it continues to rain, thunder and lightning outside.
BACK TO THE PRESENT:
"You fell out?" Dr. Kahn asks.
"Yes," Diane D says.
"But before you fell out, you were reaching your arm and hand out towards the stairs calling out to your family for help?"
"Yes."
"But no one heard you."
"No."
Margarita, Tomas, Mary, Barry, Tonio, Marilyn, Nicolas, Michael, Nancy and Charlotte turn and sadly look at each other. They then turn their heads back forward and continue to sadly listen to Dr. Kahn and Diane D.
"Then what happened after you reached your arm and hand out towards the stairs calling out to your family for help?" Dr. Kahn asks.
"It seemed like the floor was coming up towards me," Diane D says.
"It seemed like the floor was coming up towards you?"
"Yeah, but I don't remember hitting or landing on the floor."
"You don't remember hitting or landing on the floor?"
"No."
"So what happened after it felt like the floor was coming up towards you? What did you experience?"
"The next thing I know, is that my grandparents' house was gone.”
“Your grandparents' house was gone?”
“Yeah.”
“What do you mean 'your grandparents' house was gone'?”
“It wasn’t there. I didn’t see it anymore.”
“You didn’t see your grandparents' house anymore?”
“No.”
“Well where did it go?”
“It disappeared."
“It disappeared?”
82
“To where?”
“I don’t know, I just didn't see it anymore."
"I see. Then what happened after you saw your grandparents' house disappear?"
"I found my soul or spirit out there in space wandering the universe.”
"You found your soul or spirit out there in space wandering the universe again?"
"Yes."
"Isn't that exactly what happened to you before, when you had that incident on the third floor school hallway with that kid Marcus three years ago after you got upset with him when you first learned that he and his brother lied to you and your family and tricked you all about a little three year old boy who have leukemia, just to get you to come to his school? When you were standing at the edge of the school hallway angrily staring at him, you saw the school hallway disappear at that time too, right?"
"Yes. It's like the same thing happening again."
"The same thing happening again?"
"Yes."
"But this time, instead of you seeing the school hallway disappear, you saw your grandparents' house disappear the night you went downstairs to make and get the liquor, right?"
"Right."
"Why was your soul or spirit out there in space wandering the universe this time?"
"I don't know, I didn't plan it."
"You didn't plan it?"
"No. It was beyond my control."
"It was? You mean you had no control over it?"
"No."
"No control over it at all?"
"No, no control over it."
"I see. Since you didn't plan to have your soul or spirit out there in space wandering the universe nor had any control over it, do you know who or what put your soul or spirit out there in space wandering the universe?"
"No I have no idea who or what put my soul or spirit out there."
"You don't know?"
"No. All I know, is that I was out there, I don't know who or what put me out there or why."
"I see. Then what happened while your soul or spirit was out there in space wandering the universe?"
"I suddenly heard my family calling my name."
"You heard your family calling your name while your soul or spirit was still out there in space wandering the universe?"
"Yeah."
"Then what happened after you heard your family calling your name?"
"I could feel them tugging and pulling me."
"You felt your family tugging and pulling you?"
"Yeah."
"Then what happened after that?"
"I woke up and found myself lying on my bed with my family members surrounding 83
"You woke up and found yourself lying on your bed with your family surrounding you?"
"Yes."
"Did your family know, that your soul or spirit was out there in space wandering the universe when they woke you up?"
"No, not until I told them."
"I see. Since your family found you upstairs in the bedroom on the bed, did they know that you were laying down there on the living room floor passed out?"
"No, nobody knew."
"Nobody? No one else was downstairs in the house when you were at the bar, making the Martini then passed out on the floor?"
"No, no one else was down in the living room when I was at the bar?"
"You were all alone when you were in the living room?"
"Yes."
"So therefore, no one witnessed you falling passing out on the floor."
"No."
"I see. Do you know how long your physical body was laid out on the living room floor passed out?"
"No, I have no idea."
"No idea at all?"
"No."
"I see. After you passed out on the living room floor, do you know how you got upstairs to your bedroom?"
"No, I have no idea."
"You have no idea how you got to your bedroom?"
"No I don't."
"You don't remember how you got from the living room floor to your bedroom at all?"
"No. When my family woke me up on the bed, at first I thought maybe they found me on the living room floor downstairs, then carried me upstairs to my room then laid me on the bed."
"You thought your family found you on the living room floor downstairs, then carried you upstairs to your room then laid you on the bed?"
"Yes."
"But your family didn't find you laying on the living room floor downstairs Diane.
When they found you, you were already laying upstairs on your bed. Now if your family didn't put you upstairs on your bed and you don't remember putting yourself upstairs on your bed, the big question is 'Who put you there?'.”
Margarita, Tomas, Mary, Barry, Tonio, Marilyn, Nicolas, Michael, Nancy and Charlotte turn and frighteningly look at each other. They then turn their heads back forward and continue to anxiously listen to Dr. Kahn and Diane D.
“Do you remember coming up the stairs running into your cousin Nancy in the upstairs hallway when she called out to you and approached you then she and you started talking with one another?" Dr. Kahn asks.
84
"No, I don't remember that," Diane D says.
"You don't remember that at all?"
"No."
"But before you went downstairs to the bar, you remember being in one of the upstairs bedroom with your two cousins Nancy and Charlotte, then going downstairs to the bar to get the drinks then pass out and find your soul or spirit wandering the universe, then find yourself on your bed surrounded by your family, right?"
"Right."
"So if you found yourself falling towards the floor downstairs, but don't remember landing on the floor, most likely, your physical body did land and lay on the floor for a while before your physical body was found on the bed upstairs. And you say you don't know how long your physical body was lying on the floor downstairs, before it was somehow placed upstairs on the bed, right?"
"Right."
"Okay now Diane, being that we had just mentioned about that kid Marcus, I would like to ask you, how do you feel about him now?"
"How do I feel about Marcus?"
"Yes."
"How am I suppose to feel about him?"
"I mean are you still angry with him from the night you learned that he and his brother tricked you and your family into coming to his school? Are you still angry with him when he confessed to you that the little three-year old boy who's dying of leukemia didn't exist?"
"Yeah I was angry with him at first, but I'm not angry about that anymore."
"You're not?"
"No. Why?"
"Well he feels that deep down inside of you, you're still angry with him."
"He does?"
"Yes."
"Why does he feel I'm still angry at him?"
"Because he claims that he's constantly having nightmares about you still coming after him in the back stairwell of that school, trying to kill him. Have you heard about the nightmares he keeps having about you coming after him in the back stairwell of that school, trying to kill him?"
"Yes I've heard about it."
"You have?"
"Yes I have."
"Well how do you feel about that? Because Marcus claims that the nightmares about you coming after him trying to kill him in that back stairwell of the school happens to him almost every night. It's unusual to have the same dreams or nightmares constantly repeated. The nightmares he has about you coming after him in that back stairwell of the school keeps happening to him that he's thinking of suicide just to get away from it. He already tried to jump out of a high story window, but his family stopped him just in time. He's constantly on a suicide watch. So if you're not angry with Marcus anymore, do you know why he is constantly having nightmares about you coming after him in the back stairwell of the school?"
"No I have no idea why he's still having nightmares of me coming after him, I'm not 85
even thinking about him! I already mentally forgave that kid and moved on with my life."
"You mentally forgave?"
"Yes I did. I have been willing to forgive him in person, but he's not willing to accept my forgiveness. He doesn't even want to come near me nor be in the same space as me. He doesn't even want to talk to me on the phone, what else am I suppose to do?
I can't make him accept my forgiveness if he doesn't want to. The only thing I can do, is move on with my life, he should too."
"But he can't move on with his life Diane because he keeps having constant nightmares about you coming after him trying to kill him in the back stairwell of that school."
"I have no control over that! I'm not capable of entering anybody's dreams or nightmares!"
"I know you're not capable of that."
"I'm not! I don't have the power to do that!"
"I know you don't have the power to do that Diane. I just needed to know and find out how YOU still felt about Marcus, that way he and his family can hopefully get his nightmares to stop, and they can hopefully get some closure and hopefully get some rest. We know you're not capable of entering anybody's dreams or nightmares and we know you don't have the power to do that, we just needed to hear it from YOU. We needed to hear it coming from you yourself. And thank you so much for your answer.
Okay Diane, that's all I want to ask you and say to you about Marcus. Thanks."
"Okay Now Diane," Dr. Stone says. "Now Diane, there are some people right here in this very room that I want you to identify, okay? When I count to three, I want you to open your eyes.” Diane D continues to lay on the couch with her eyes closed. Dr. Stone then says, “One ..... two ..... three! Open your eyes." Diane D slowly opens her eyes.
Margarita, Tomas, Mary, Barry, Tonio, Marilyn, Nicolas, Michael, Nancy and Charlotte quietly sit in the middle of the room anxiously watching Diane D.
Diane D looks her eyes around. She then looks at Dr. Stone as she continues to lay on the couch. Dr. Stone smiles at Diane D and says to her, “Hi there Diane. Are you feeling okay?"
Diane D puzzled looks at Dr. Stone. She then says, "Yeah."
"You do?"
"Yeah."
"That's great."
Dr. Kahn looks at Diane D. He also smiles at her and says to her, “Hey Diane."
Diane D puzzled looks at Dr. Kahn. He then says, "How are you feeling today?"
"Okay," Diane D says.
"You do?"
"Yeah."
"That's good."
"Now Diane, I need you to sit up for a minute," Dr. Stone says. "I need you to sit up so you can identify some people that are in this room, okay?"
"Okay," Diane D says.
"Good. You may sit up now."
86
Diane D slowly starts to sit up.
Margarita, Tomas, Mary, Barry, Tonio, Marilyn, Nicolas, Michael, Nancy and Charlotte continue to quietly sit in the middle of the room anxiously watching Diane D.
Diane D sits up and looks forward. She then looks a little to her right and sees her family sitting in the middle of the room several yards away from her watching her. She becomes shocked and surprised seeing them sitting there.
Margarita, Tomas, Mary, Barry, Tonio, Marilyn, Nicolas, Michael, Nancy and Charlotte anxiously smile at Diane D. They wave their hands to her.
Diane D smiles and waves back to her family and says, "Hey. What are y'all doing here?"
Dr. Stone looks at Diane D and says to her, "Now Diane, do you know who those people are over there?" as he points to her family.
Diane D turns her head to her right and puzzled looks at Dr. Stone. She then says,
"Do I know who those people are?"
"Yes."
"Of course I know who they are! They're my family!"
"They are?"
"Yes! You know that!"
"Okay, good. Could you identify for me each family member?"
Diane D puzzled looks at Dr. Stone again. She then asks, "Identify for you each family member?"
"Yes."
"You want me to identify my own family?"
"Yes I do."
"Why? I already know who they are."
"I know you already know who they are."
"So why do you want me to identify them?"
"Because I need to HEAR YOU say it, for the record."
"For the record?"
"Yes."
"What record?"
"The reports I'm making about your status."
"The reports you're making?"
"Yes."
"Oh. Okay." Diane D looks at her family again. She then looks at Margarita who is sitting on the far right and says, "That's my grandma Margarita." She then looks at Tomas who is sitting next to Margarita and says, "That's my grandpa Tomas." She then looks at Mary and says, "That's my mom." She then looks at Barry and says, "That's my dad." She then looks at Tonio and says, "That's my uncle Tonio, my mom's brother."
She then looks at Marilyn and says, "That's my Aunt Marilyn, my mom's sister." She then looks at Nicolas and says, "That's my older brother Nicolas." She then looks at Michael and says, "That's my husband Michael." She then looks at Nancy and says,
"That's my cousin Nancy." She then smiles at Charlotte and says, "And that's my cousin 87
Charlotte." Diane D turns back to Dr. Stone and says, "There. You got that?"
"Yes I got it," Dr. Stone smiles and says. "Thanks Diane. Now that you identified each of your family members correctly, I'm going to send you away temporary. I'm going to put you back to sleep, okay? Now lay back down." Diane D looks back at her family.
Margarita, Tomas, Mary, Barry, Tonio, Marilyn, Nicolas, Michael, Nancy and Charlotte anxiously smile at Diane D again. They wave their hands to her again and whisper, "See you later."
Diane D smiles at her family and waves back to them. She then lays back down on the psychiatrist couch. Dr. Stone then says to her, "Now Diane when I count to three, I want you to close your eyes and go back to sleep, okay?” Diane D continues to lay on the couch with her eyes opened looking at Dr. Stone. Dr. Stone then says, “Now one
..... two ..... three! Go back to sleep!" Diane D's eyes slowly closes. Her eyes are now completely shut. Dr. Stone and Dr. Kahn continue to sit near Diane D and watch her as she goes back to sleep. Diane D continues to lay on the couch with her eyes closed. She quickly goes back into a deep sleep. She is now back into a state of hypnosis.
Margarita, Tomas, Mary, Barry, Tonio, Marilyn, Nicolas, Michael, Nancy and Charlotte puzzled look at each other as Nicolas whispers, "Is she back to sleep?"
"I think so," Barry says. Barry, Nicolas, Margarita, Tomas, Mary, Tonio, Marilyn, Michael, Nancy and Charlotte turn back forward and puzzled look at Diane D again.
Dr. Stone and Dr. Kahn continue to watch Diane D as she sleeps. They then turn their heads and look towards Diane D's family. They get up from their chairs and walk towards Diane D's family.
Dr. Stone and Dr. Kahn approach Diane D's family as Diane D's family stand from their seats. Dr. Stone whispers to them, "She's back to sleep."
"Yeah we can see that?" Margarita whispers, "but that quick?"
"Yes. She's still under hypnosis."
"She is?"
"Yes."
"Wow," Diane D's family says as they puzzled stare at her.
"Can we talk to you all outside the room for a minute?"
"Sure Doctor," Margarita says.
"Okay." Dr. Stone and Dr. Kahn turn and quietly lead Diane D's family towards the back door. Diane D's family turn their heads towards her and amazingly stare at her quickly being back into a deep sleep as she continues to lay on the couch under hypnosis with her eyes closed.
Two minutes later, Dr. Stone and Dr. Kahn bring Diane D's family out in the hallway. They bring Diane D's family way down the hallway.
Dr. Stone and Dr. Kahn bring Diane D's family to the side as Dr. Stone says to them,
"Well what do you all think?"
88
"Well the hypnosis itself was amazing!" Margarita says.
"You think so?"
"Yes! But it was terrible to find out that she had passed out downstairs in the living room and was lying there on the floor all alone without any of us knowing about it!"
"I know."
"Doctor Stone, what was that all about?" Barry asks. "Why did you have Diane sit up and look at all of us, then have her identify all of us when she already knows who we all are? Why do you need that for the record?"
"Because I wanted us all to make sure, that it was her ORIGINAL soul, spirit or personality that was there inside her physical body, because if I have her sit up and see you all and she knows who you all are, that means it's her ORIGINAL soul, spirit or personality there inside her physical body. But if I have her sit up and see you all and she DOES NOT know who you all are or doesn't seem to recognize any of you, that means it's NOT her original soul, spirit or personality there inside her physical body, but someone else." Diane D's family shockingly and nervously look at Dr. Stone.
Dr. Kahn then says to Diane D's family, "Now Dr. Stone and I are gonna try to see if we can bring out, the OTHER personality."
"What!" Diane D's family shouts. "Bring out the other personality?!"
"You're gonna try to see if you can bring out the other personality?" Michael asks.
"Yes," Dr. Kahn then says. "But before we do that, we would need your permission to strap Diane's physical body down to the couch with handcuffs, just in case the other personality emerges to the surface and starts to get out of control."
"What!" the family shout.
"Strap her physical body down to the couch with handcuffs, just in case the other personality emerges and starts to get out of control?!" Barry shouts.
"Yes," Dr. Kahn says.
"You think if this other personality emerges to the surface, it might get out of control?" Michael asks.
"Well it happened before when Diane attacked all those people in the past that she herself wasn't aware of."
"So you feel you need to strap her physical body down with handcuffs, just in case?!" Mary shouts.
"Yeah for our safety, because this other soul, spirit or personality that emerges out of her don't play. It is known for being very violent and very vicious and having superhuman strength, which is not normal for the average person. That other soul, spirit or personality already attacked some security guards and some police officers in the past landing several them in the hospital with permanent injuries! They had to leave the police force because of their injuries! Dr. Stone and I don't want to be Diane's or this other soul, spirit or personality's next victims, then we both wind up laying right here in this very hospital with broken bones and permanent injuries ourselves! Diane already tried to attack those correction officers who were trying to keep her inside that jail cell! Those correction officers said they had a very tough time trying to keep Diane inside that jail cell because they said she had the strength of a wild animal or beast!
They said her superhuman strength was no match for them, even though she was only one woman against five or six men!"
"And two male hospital employees at the other hospital who worked the night shift already witnessed Diane's superhuman strength when she spinned her entire body 89
around and kung fu kicked a stuck storage room door wide open, knocking the storage room door right off its hinges, then going inside the storage room damaging the storage room by lifting and turning heavy furniture upside down like if she was the Incredible Hulk!" Dr. Stone says. "The storage room door and the storage room were damaged beyond repair and she's wasn't even aware of herself doing that! The only thing she knew, is that she felt pain in her leg and foot after her original soul, spirit or personality came back and she didn't even know where the pain in her leg and foot came from! She didn't know or realize, that the pain in her leg and foot came from her kung fu kicking that stuck storage room door wide open! The very same door that the two male hospital employees tried to open themselves, but couldn't. Then she a female comes along and kung fu kicks the storage room door wide open, even though there was heavy office furniture leaning behind it! Those two male hospital employees were so traumatized by what they had witnessed, that they had to transfer to another hospital to work! They claim they couldn't deal with the memory of what they had witnessed inside that clinic hallway."
"And that kid Marcus already claimed that it was Diane herself who attacked him on that third floor school hallway that night by kung fu kicking him a couple of feet in the air, breaking his ribs and everything else and she's wasn't even aware of herself doing that to him! The only thing she knew, is that she felt pain all over her body after her original soul, spirit or personality returned and she didn't even know where the pain all over her body came from! She didn't know or realize, that the pain in her body came from Marcus throwing those objects at her inside that school hallway! Marcus was also traumatized by what he had went through inside that school hallway with Diane that he had to transfer to another school. He claimed he couldn't deal with the memory of what Diane did to him inside that school hallway! She already bashed in the dashboard of your family's van with her bare fists after you all were driving away from the school after that incident with her and Marcus, and she wasn't even aware of herself doing that either!"
"And whenever Diane gets out of control and several people try to hold her and pull her back, she just literally starts dragging them all at once! I mean WHO does that?!"
"No one else. So in order for Dr. Stone and I to protect ourselves from that other personality's wrath or fury, we need your signed permission to strap Diane's physical body down to the couch with handcuffs to hold her physical body in place just in case the other personality emerges and becomes out of control again."
"Well if you feel that you have to strap Diane's physical body down doctor, maybe it is best, not to try and bring this other personality out to the surface," Marilyn says.
"But we need to talk to the other personality to find out if it's the same personality that Nancy encountered inside your family's home that night," Dr. Stone says. "And we need to know, if it's the same personality who kung fu kicked that stuck storage room door wide open at the other hospital, and we need to know, if it's the same personality who attacked and harm that kid Marcus in the school hallway and attacked other people in the past!"
"You don't think it's the same personality that Nancy encountered Doctor?"
Margarita asks.
"We don't know, that's what we want to find out. And we need to know, if it's the same personality who is tormenting Marcus by coming into his dreams and nightmares every night practically scaring him to death!"
90
"Coming into his dreams and nightmares every night?!" Mary shouts. "So you think Diane is responsible for that kid's nightmares?! You heard her said she's not thinking about that kid!"
"Yes I did hear her say that Miss Mary. Dr. Kahn and I just wanted to know if she was still angry with him because we were wondering, that if she still had any anger issues towards Marcus at all, maybe her anger issues towards him might somehow get into his dreams or nightmares."
"Her anger issues towards him might somehow get into his dreams or nightmares?
She has no control over what he's dreaming about! You heard her say it yourself that she's not capable of entering anybody's dreams or nightmares! She just said that she doesn't have the power to do that!"
"That's right Doctor Stone!" Barry shouts. "People don't have the power to enter other people's dreams or nightmares! The only people who ARE capable of entering other people's dreams and nightmares, are deceased people! THEY"RE the ones who have the power to come into other people's dreams or nightmares, not the Living!
Diane is not deceased! She's still alive so she cannot enter other people's dreams or nightmares even if she wanted to!"
"That's right Doctor Stone!" Nicolas shouts. "Diane hasn't been anywhere near that kid Marcus since that incident happened inside that school hallway that night! So I don't want that kid Marcus, blaming my sister for his nightmares which she has absolutely nothing to do with nor any control over! If that kid keeps seeing my sister in his nightmares every night coming after him in that back stairwell of the school trying to kill him, then it's on him, she has absolutely nothing to do with it! If it wasn't for that false letter that he and his brother sent to our family's organization about some little boy dying of leukemia, he would not be going through his nightmares right now!"
"That's right!" Mary shouts. "Let that kid's doctors take care of him! Let them put him under hypnosis to get rid of his nightmares or let THEM put him on some doggone medication or something!"
"They already tried all of that," Dr. Stone says. "It's not working!"
"Sorry, but Diane has nothing to do with it!"
"Okay. We'll contact Marcus' doctors about it again. We just needed to find out how Diane still felt about him, that's all. We needed to hear it from HER. We already got our answer from her. But if we succeed in bringing this other soul, spirit or personality out to the service, we will have to see and find out how the other soul, spirit or personality feels about Marcus?"
"What!" Diane D's family shout.
"See and find out how the other soul, spirit or personality feels about Marcus?"
Tomas asks.
"That's right," Dr. Kahn says. "Why do you think I was asking Diane all those questions about Marcus in the first place? To see how SHE really feels about him because of the constant nightmares he keeps having about her. We needed to know where her state of mind stand. We just heard from her original soul, spirit or personality that she's not angry at Marcus anymore, that she's not thinking about him and that she's moved on with her life. That's what her ORIGINAL soul, spirit or personality was saying. We don't know how THE OTHER soul, spirit or personality might feel about Marcus, yet."
"What!" Diane D's family shout.
91
"So you think that this other soul, spirit or personality might have something to do with Marcus' nightmares?" Margarita asks.
"We think so," Dr. Stone says. "If it's not Diane's original soul, spirit or personality causing Marcus' nightmares, we think it's definitely the other soul, spirit or personality entering his dreams causing his nightmares."
"What!" Diane D's family shout.
"But that kid Marcus is claiming that he sees Diane in his nightmares!" Michael shouts, "not some soul, spirit or personality!"
"We know," Dr. Stone says. "Most likely this other soul, spirit or personality is making itself up into the form of Diane so Marcus can see it and think that it is Diane he's seeing in his nightmares, even though it's not her! Even though Diane's original soul, spirit or personality might have forgiven Marcus, this other soul, spirit or personality might NOT have." Diane D's family worriedly look at Dr. Stone. Dr. Stone then says, "But in the mean time, can we get your signed permission to strap Diane's physical body to the couch with handcuffs to hold her physical body in place just in case the other personality emerges and becomes out of control?"
"Well it depends on how you cuff her to the couch Doctor," Tomas says.
"That's right," Tonio says. "And just how would you cuff my niece to the couch?"
"We would have a long chain attached to each of her handcuffs while she's still under hypnosis," Dr. Stone says.
"What!" Diane D's family shouts. "Long chains?!"
"Attached to each of her handcuffs?!" Mary shouts.
"While she's still under hypnosis?!" Tonio shouts.
"Yes," Dr. Stone says. "Each chain from her handcuffs would be hooked to the metal bars beneath each side of the couch where her arms are."
"What!" Diane D's family shouts.
"Each chain from her handcuffs would be hooked to the metal bars beneath each side of the couch where her arms are?!" Tomas shouts.
"Yes," Dr. Stone says. "We would also have a chain wrapped around each of her upper arms."
"What!" Diane D's family shouts.
"A chain wrapped around her upper arms?!" Margarita shouts.
"You're gonna have a chain wrapped around her upper arms?!" Nicolas shouts.
"Yes," Dr. Stone says. "Each chain wrapped around her upper arms would be hooked to the metal bars beneath each side of the couch where her shoulders are. We would also have a chain going over and around her shoulders."
"What!" Diane D's family shouts.
"A chain going over and around her shoulders?!" Mary shouts.
"Yes," Dr. Stone says. "Each chain going over and around her shoulders would have one end hooked to the metal bar where her head is and the other end hooked to each chain wrapped around her upper arms."
"What!" Diane D's family shouts.
"Now this is ridiculous!" Tomas shouts. "Each chain going over and around her shoulders would have one end hooked to the metal bar where her head is and the other end hooked to each chain wrapped around her upper arms?!"
"Yes," Dr. Stone says.
"And you're going to have chains wrapped around her upper arms hooked to the 92
metal bars beneath each side of the couch where her shoulders are?!"
"Yes. We would also have a chain wrapped around each of her legs."
"What!" Diane D's family shouts.
"Chains wrapped around her legs?!" Margarita shouts.
"Yes," Dr. Stone says. "Each chain wrapped around her legs would be hooked to the metal bars beneath each side of the couch where her legs are. Last but not least, we would also have a long chain attached to each of her shackles."
"Shackles?!" Diane D's family shouts.
"You want shackles on her too?!" Mary shouts.
"With chains attached to each of her shackles?!" Nicolas shouts.
"Yes," Dr. Stone says. "Each chain from her shackles would be hooked to the metal bars beneath each side of the couch where her feet are."
"What!" Diane D's family shouts.
"Yes. We would have a set of keys for the cuffs, chains and shackles for emergency and you will also have a set of keys too."
"What!"
"We will have a set of keys too?!" Barry shouts.
"Yes," Dr. Stone says.
"Whoa wait a minute now Doctor Stone!" Margarita shouts. "I'm not feeling this!
I'm not sure if I want to see or have my own grandchild cuffed and hooked to the couch, especially with chains and shackles on her feet! If you're talking about hooking a chain to each of her handcuffs and having a chain wrapped around each of her upper arms and having a chain going over and around each of her shoulders and having a chain wrapped around each of her legs and having a long chain attached to each of her shackles, that's two chains for each body part! That means you're going to have ten chains hooked to my grandchild Doctor Stone! Ten! Plus handcuffs and shackles!"
"That's right Doctor!" Nicolas shouts. "I don't want my sister cuffed, chained and shackled like she's some wild animal or something!"
"But that IS the way your sister behaved before when she attacked all those people in the past and wasn't even aware of it!" Dr. Stone says.
"We still don't want to see her cuffed, chained and shackled like she's some wild animal or beast!" Michael shouts.
"That's right!" Barry shouts. "And why do you feel my child needs to be cuffed, chained up and shackled Doctor? You think she's crazy don't you?"
"Of course they think she's crazy Dad!" Nicolas shouts. "Why do you think they want to cuff, chain and shackle her up in the first place?! Because that's what they sometimes do to mental patients, is chain them up!"
"No that is not true!" Dr. Kahn shouts. "If that's the case, then why didn't we consider having Diane's physical body cuffed, chained up and shackled a little while ago while her ORIGINAL soul, spirit or personality was there? It's THE OTHER soul, spirit or personality we think is crazy, not Diane!"
"Saying that the THE OTHER soul, spirit or personality is crazy IS like saying that my child is crazy too!" Mary shouts.
"Miss Mary, why do you think we had your daughter commited before in the first place?" Dr. Stone says. "We didn't have your daughter commited for nothing! She viciously attacked and harmed people in the past and was not aware of it!"
"But it wasn't Diane's original soul, spirit or personality who attacked and harmed 93
those people Doctor Stone!" Margarita shouts. "It was that OTHER soul, spirit or personality who did that!"
"Why do you think we want to cuff, chain up and shackle that OTHER soul, spirit or personality in the first place Miss Margarita?!"
"Yeah but if you cuff, chain up and shackle that OTHER soul, spirit or personality, you're actually cuffing, chaining up and shackling Diane!"
"So what are we suppose to do Miss Margarita, go after the OTHER soul, spirit or personality alone without going after Diane, and just have the other soul, spirit or personality commited and be locked up, but not Diane?! That is NOT possible! That other soul, spirit or personality have no physical body, they're using Diane's physical body temporary! So how would we even find or get to that other soul, spirit or personality without going through Diane's physical body?! Going through Diane's physical body is the only way to get to that other soul, spirit or personality! That other soul, spirit or personality and Diane's original soul, spirit or personality DO come inside the same package, which is Diane's physical body! When we had the other soul, spirit or personality commited, unfortunately Diane's physical body had to go along with it."
"I still don't want my grandchild cuffed, chained and shackled!"
"Okay, okay. We understand how you all feel. Listen, if it makes you all feel better, we won't have the security officer put the cuffs, chains and shackles on Diane's physical body. We don't want to have you all feeling uncomfortable. But if we don't have the cuffs, chains and shackles on Diane's physical body, we are not going to try to bring out the OTHER personality."
"What!" Diane D's family shouts.
"Seriously?!" Michael shouts. "You're not gonna try to bring out the other personality if the cuffs, chains and shackles aren't on Diane's physical body?!"
"No we're not! As long as those cuffs, chains and shackles aren't gonna be on Diane's physical body, Dr. Kahn and I are not going to take the risk! I mean Diane is known for having deadly kung fu kicks that she did to other people and that storage room door at the other hospital! That's why we want to make sure we cuff, chain and shackle her legs and feet down just in case that other personality emerges and tries to kung fu kick us! Dr. Kahn and I don't want to be on the receiving end of Diane's or that other personality's kung fu kicks! We would like to leave out of this hospital and make it back home in one piece!" Diane D's family angrily looks at Dr. Stone. He then says,
"You understand, don't you?" Diane D's family then worriedly look at Dr. Stone. They then turn and sadly look at each other. They then turn and look back at Dr. Stone. Dr.
Stone then says to them, "It's up to you. If you all let us continue with the hypnosis on Diane and try to bring out the other personality, we'll have to have the cuffs, chains and shackles on her physical body to hold that other personality down, for our safety. Once the hypnosis is all done and over with, we'll have the cuffs, chains and shackles removed from off Diane's physical body before we snap her out of hypnosis. She'll wake back up and won't even know that the cuffs, chains and shackles were ever there."
"I don't know," Margarita says. "I'm still not feeling it!"
"Me neither!" Mary shouts.
"We understand how you all feel," Dr. Kahn says. "Believe me, we do. But it's the only way to possibly be safe from that other soul, spirit or personality's wrath if that other soul, spirit or personality emerges and suddenly gets out of control! Plus we'll 94
"What!" Diane D's family shouts. "A priest?!"
Margarita puzzled looks at Dr. Kahn and shouts, "You're gonna have a priest on stand by?!"
"Yeah," Dr. Kahn says. "Just in case."
"Just in case?!" Barry shouts. "Just in case what?!"
"Just in case the other soul, spirit or personality turns out to be some evil vicious entity that the little boy Marcus claimed to have felt inside the school hallway that night."
"What!" Diane D's family shouts. "Some evil vicious entity?!"
"Oh boy!" Mary shouts. "Here we go with that Marcus kid again and his 'evil vicious entity' stories! So you feel you need a priest for what that kid said about my child inside that school hallway, like she's possessed or something?!"
"Just in case," Dr. Kahn says.
"Just in case?! Oh I get it! First you think my child is crazy that you want to cuff, chain and shackle her up! Then you think she's possessed that you want to have a priest on stand by! So now you want to have cuffs, chains, shackles and a priest go up against my child, don't you?!"
"No it's not true Miss Mary! We don't want to have cuffs, chains, shackles and a priest go up against Diane! Remember, it's the OTHER personality that we want to cuff, chain up, shackle and have a priest for, not Diane! We have absolutely nothing against Diane! It's not her ORIGINAL PERSONALITY that we're worried about! It's that violent, aggressive personality with the superhuman strength that we're afraid of!"
"But that violent, aggressive personality with the superhuman strength wasn't violent or aggressive towards Nancy when Nancy had an encounter with it inside our family's home in the upstairs hallway!"
"Well that's Nancy! Nancy is part of Diane's family! That other personality most likely know that Nancy is part of Diane's family! That's probably why the other personality was never violent or aggressive towards her!"
"So are you saying that's why Nancy was spared from that other personality's violent rages and vicious assaults?" Margarita asks.
"Yes that's exactly what I'm saying. But Dr. Stone and I are a different story, we're NOT members of Diane's family. WE'RE the ones who have to watch our backs, not YOU guys."
Diane D's family worriedly look at Dr. Kahn. They then look at each other. They turn back to Dr. Kahn as Barry says to him, "Okay Doctor, let's do it."
"Let's do it? Are you sure?"
"Yes we're sure. Let's just get this whole thing over with! As long as we're there in the room with Diane and we have our own set of keys for the cuffs, chains and shackles, let's do this."
"You got it. But before we go in there now, we only need a few of you inside the room while the security officer hooks the cuffs, chains and shackles on Diane's physical body."
"What!" Diane D's family shouts.
"Only need a few of us inside the room, while the security officer hooks the cuffs, chains and shackles on her?" Michael asks.
"Yes," Dr. Kahn says.
95
"Because you might all change your minds while you all are standing there watching the security officer cuff, chain and shackle Diane's physical body up."
"We might change our minds?" Tomas asks. "Why, is it that bad?"
"You will have to see for yourself while the security officer is cuffing, chaining and shackling her."
Diane D's family worriedly look at each other. Barry says to them, "I'm gonna go in there and be there while the security officer is cuffing, chaining and shackling her."
"So will I!" Michael shouts.
"I'm gonna go in there too!" Mary shouts. "No way they're gonna cuff, chain and shackle up my child while I'm not in there!"
"I'm going in there too!" Margarita shouts.
"So am I!" Nicolas shouts. "That's my sister!"
"I'm going in there too!" Tonio shouts. "That's my niece!"
Tomas turns to Marilyn and says, "Marilyn, Nancy y Charlotte esperar aquí hasta la hipnosis obtiene listo para empezar de nuevo. Voy a ir allí también."
"Bien papá," Marilyn says.
"Let's go step back inside the room," Dr. Stone says. Dr. Stone and Dr. Kahn turn and lead Barry, Michael, Mary, Nicolas, Margarita, Tonio and Tomas back down the hallway towards the room as Marilyn, Nancy and Charlotte stay behind nervously looking on.
Forty-five minutes later back inside the large room, Diane D continues to lay flat on her back on the psychiatrist couch motionless still under hypnosis with her head back, face up towards the ceiling and eyes closed. Her face has an eerie pale unearthly beauty to it again with a firm serious expression on it as her eyes appear very puffy and swollen again as she lays there with her eyes closed with her eyeballs appearing to be at the top of her head underneath her closed eyelids. The blanket is completely off of her making her body viewable as her hands are on top of her chest with thick handcuffs and chains wrapped around each of her wrists. Her body is wrapped in chains and chained to the psychiatrist couch! Her legs and feet are spread apart with chains wrapped around each of her legs and shackles wrapped around each of her ankles.
Each chain wrapped around her legs is hooked to the metal bars beneath each side of the couch where her legs are. There is a long chain attached to each of her shackles.
Each chain from her shackles is hooked to the metal bars beneath each side of the couch where her feet are. There is a long chain attached to each of her handcuffs. Each chain from her handcuffs is hooked to the metal bars beneath each side of the couch where her arms are. There is a chain wrapped around each of her upper arms. Each chain wrapped around her upper arms is hooked to the metal bars beneath each side of the couch where her shoulders are. There is a chain going over and around each of her shoulders. Each chain going over and around her shoulders have one end hooked to the metal bar where her head is and the other end hooked to a chain wrapped around her upper arms. Diane D is totally unaware of the cuffs and chains wrapped around her body and shackles on her feet as she lays motionless on the couch under hypnosis. She is completely surrounded by velvet ropes hooked to poles that are several yards away from all sides of her with the doctors' chairs near the velvet ropes.
Barry, Mary, Margarita, Tomas, Michael, Nicolas, Tonio, Dr. Stone, Dr. Kahn, the 96
Indian nurse, a security officer, a priest and Marilyn stand behind part of the velvet ropes that are on Diane D's right side as they sadly stare across the floor at her. Nancy and Charlotte nervously stand beside and behind their family holding each other as they sadly stare across the floor at Diane D. "Wooow," Tonio whispers. He then turns to Dr.
Stone and Dr. Kahn and whispers, "You guys are really afraid of that other personality aren't you?"
"Aren't you?" Dr. Stone says. "We rather be safe than sorry."
Margarita then whispers to the doctors, "I don't like all those cuffs and chains wrapped around her and those shackles on her feet!"
"Me neither!" Tomas whispers. "Remove those cuffs, chains and shackles from off our granddaughter immediately!"
"But you said it was okay at first," Dr. Kahn whispers.
"Yeah but we changed our minds," Mary whispers.
"I don't like it at all!" Margarita whispers. "Are those cuffs, chains and shackles tight on her?!"
"No they're not tight on her at all Miss Margarita," Dr. Kahn whispers. "We're not putting your granddaughter through some torture experience or anything. The chains are loose enough for her to move around, but not loose enough for her to break free from just in case the other personality emerges to the surface and gets out of control.
We have to get prepared for that other personality's fury! Believe me, we want to try and make your granddaughter as comfortable as possible."
"But it's not only the cuffs, chains and shackles that bothers me!"
"Not only the cuffs, chains and shackles?"
"No!"
"Then what else is it?"
"I don't like the way she looks laying like that! She looks like a corpse laying completely still like that!"
"You think she looks like a corpse?"
"Yes, with her face all pale and her eyes all puffy! She looks like a dead person!"
"She's not dead Miss Margarita," Dr. Stone whispers. "She's still under hypnosis.
Can't you see her breathing?"
Diane D's family puzzled look at her across the floor. Margarita then whispers,
"Yeah a little bit."
"Her heart rate is just a little slow right now."
"It is?" Barry whispers. "Well I think we should get a little closer to her and check on her to make sure she's breathing." Barry starts to unhook the velvet rope that is in front of him.
Dr. Stone and Dr. Kahn stop him as Dr. Stone whispers, "No you all can't go close to her. You'll disturb and interupt her being under hypnosis then we won't be able to finish helping her." Diane D's family worriedly look at Dr. Stone. He then says, "You can go around the rope to check on her, but don't go past the rope or make any noises, okay?"
"Okay Doctor," Barry whispers. Barry and the rest of the family start to walk around the velvet ropes. They slowly walk several yards away from the top of Diane D's head. They stop and stare down at Diane D as she remains under hypnosis with her eyes closed. They then look at the cuffs and thick chains wrapped around her body.
They sadly stare at Diane D. Mary starts to cry, "Ohh, my poor baby!" The rest of the 97
family sadly turn to Mary and try to comfort her. They turn back and sadly stare at Diane D again with tears in their eyes.
"Can you see her breathing Aunt Mary?" Nancy tearfully asks.
"Yes she's breathing Nancy," Nicolas says. "I can see it."
"I can see it too," Michael says. "She's just breathing slow right now." The family continues to sadly stare at Diane D.
"Diane!" Marilyn suddenly calls out as the family quickly turns to her then look back at Diane D. They do not see Diane D responding. She continues to lay under hypnosis with her eyes closed.
"I don't think she can hear you Aunt Marilyn," Nicolas says. The family continues to sadly stare at Diane D.
Margarita starts to cry, "I can't take this." The family turns to Margarita and tries to comfort her. Margarita then looks towards Dr. Stone.
Dr. Stone approaches the family and whispers, "Are you alright Miss Margarita?"
Diane D's family turns to Dr. Stone as Margarita whispers, "No I'm not alright Doctor Stone, seeing my grandbaby cuffed, chained and shackled like this!"
"I understand Miss Margarita. I understand how you feel. Listen, if it's that important to you not to have Diane cuffed, chained and shackled, we can remove the cuffs, chains and shackles off her right now if you want."
"Yes I want the cuffs, chains and shackles removed from off my granddaughter now!"
"Okay, but if we remove the cuffs, chains and shackles from off her, then we're not going to try to bring out the other personality."
"Good! Let that other personality stay wherever it's at! Just give us back Diane!"
"Okay, no problem." Dr. Stone turns towards the security officer and whispers,
"Security?" The security officer approaches Dr. Stone as Dr. Stone tells him, "The family is not comfortable with the cuffs, chains and shackles on Diane. So remove the cuffs, chains and shackles from off her now."
"Sure, no problem," the security officer whispers. The security officer turns towards the velvet rope and starts to unhook the part of the rope from in front of himself.
"Wait a minute," Dr. Kahn whispers as he approaches Diane D's family. The security officer stops as he and everyone else turn and look at Dr. Kahn. Dr. Kahn then looks at Margarita and whispers, "Miss Margarita, what if we release some of the chains from off Diane. Will it be alright for us to continue the hypnosis process?"
"Release some of the chains?" Margarita whispers.
"Yeah. We still want to continue with the hypnosis on Diane, but we want to still feel safe doing so. Can we release just some of the chains off her and still go through the hypnosis process?"
Margarita and the rest of Diane D's family look at Dr. Kahn. They then look at Diane D. They then turn and look at each other. Margarita then whispers, "What do you all say?"
"I guess we can have some of the chains release from off Diane Mom," Barry whispers.
"Oh yeah? Which ones?"
"I don't know." Barry turns to Dr. Stone and whispers, "What do you say Doctor Stone? If we do allow you to release some of the chains off Diane, which chains would 98
YOU feel safe having released from off her?"
"The ones farthest away from me and Dr. Kahn," Dr. Stone says. "That's for sure."
"Oh yeah? Which chains are they?"
Dr. Stone and Diane D's family look back at the chains wrapped around Diane D.
Dr. Stone then looks back at Barry and whispers, "I guess the chains that are wrapped around her upper arms."
"The chains wrapped around her upper arms?"
"Yeah."
"The chains wrapped around her upper arms are pretty close to you Doctor Stone.
What about the chains attached to the shackles? You don't want to release those?"
"I'm not sure if I feel safe if the chains attached to her shackles are released. If that other personality emerges to the surface, it might just lift one of her legs high up in the air and give Doctor Kahn and I kung fu kicks right to the head!"
"Give you kung fu kicks to the head?"
"That's right."
"There's nothing to worry about Doctor Stone. All you have to do, is be careful and not have your heads close to her feet."
"That's right Doctor Stone," Nicolas whispers. "You think it's possible for her to give you a kung fu kick to the head while you're far away from her feet?"
"It didn't stop her before when she gave an officer in Germany a kung fu kick to the head while he was far away from her feet!" Dr. Stone whispers.
"What?" Diane D's family says.
"What are you talking about Doctor Stone?" Margarita whispers.
"You guys never actually witnessed what happened on that stage in Germany when she had supposedly levitated off the stage, then landed on the stage floor," Dr. Stone whispers. "I heard and read what happened in Germany. I heard while Diane was laying face up on the stage floor after she supposedly levitated, one of the officers ran over to her, bend down to the floor close to her head to check on her. And while he was bent to the floor checking on her, I heard that she suddenly raised her knee all the way up to her chest then raised her foot high up in the air and kicked that officer right in the head and he wasn't even near her feet when that happened and she didn't even know or realize that she kicked him! So I don't feel safe if those chains attached to her shackles are released. I would feel more safe if her feet stay grounded to the couch for now."
"So which chains would you feel safe to have released from off her Doctor Stone?"
"Well actually none of them!"
"None of them?"
"That's right, none of them! I'm sorry I don't feel safe if any of the chains are released from off of her."
"Miss Margarita," Dr. Kahn whispers. "If we can hurry and get this hypnosis done with, the sooner we can get those cuffs, chains and shackles released from off your granddaughter."
Margarita and the rest of Diane D's family look at Dr. Kahn. They then turn and look at each other. Margarita then whispers, "Well, what do y'all say?"
"I just want to hurry and get this hypnosis done with Mom," Barry whispers.
"Yeah so do I," Mary whispers.
"Okay." Barry turns to Dr. Stone and Dr. Kahn and whispers, "Okay Doctors, we're going to allow the cuffs, chains and shackles to stay, but if this hypnosis takes too long, 99
or if we see Diane getting uncomfortable with the cuffs, chains and shackles in any kind of way, we want the cuffs, chains and shackles removed from off her right away, you got that?!"
"Sure," Dr. Stone whispers.
"Does that make you feel safe Doctor Stone?" Margarita whispers.
"I won't feel safe until this whole hypnosis process is over."
"And I won't feel better until ALL those cuffs, chains and shackles are removed from off my granddaughter."
"We'll have the cuffs, chains and shackles removed from off your granddaughter as soon as possible. Don't worry, she'll be alright."
Diane D's family sadly stare at Dr. Stone. They then continue to sadly stare at Diane D as she remains wrapped in chains under hypnosis. They slowly start to walk around the velvet rope again towards the left side of Diane D. They slowly walk several yards away from her left side. They stop and stare down at her. They look back at the cuffs, chains and shackles wrapped around her body. They sadly stare at Diane D again.
They then turn and slowly start to walk several yards away from her feet. They stop and sadly stare down at her again.
Dr. Stone approaches them again and whispers, "Are you all ready to start the rest of the hypnosis now? We want to hurry and get this done with so we can release the cuffs, chains and shackles from off her then get her out of hypnosis."
"Okay Doctor Stone," Barry whispers. "Okay."
"Did you all finish signing the paper for your permission to have the cuffs, chains and shackles on her?"
"Yes Doctor we're finished. Michael has the paper."
"Yes it's right here," Michael whispers. He hands Dr. Stone back the clipboard with paper on it. He then hands Dr. Stone back his pen.
"Thank you," Dr. Stone whispers. "Now let me walk you all back to your chairs so we can continue and get this thing done with." Dr. Stone turns and head towards the middle of the room where the chairs are. Diane D's family turn back towards her and stand there sadly staring at her again.
Dr. Kahn turns towards the security officer and the priest and whispers, "Thank you."
"You're welcome," the security officer whispers.
Dr. Kahn, the security officer and the priest take another sad look at Diane D. Then they turn as the priest tells Dr. Kahn, "We'll be out in the hallway."
"Okay," Dr. Kahn says. The security officer and the priest take another look at Diane D. They then turn their heads and head towards the door.
Margarita and Tomas turn towards the security officer and the priest. Margarita then turns to Dr. Kahn and whispers, "Excuse me Doctor Kahn?"
Dr. Kahn turns towards Margarita as the security officer and the priest head out the door. Dr. Kahn walks towards Margarita as the door closes behind the security officer and the priest.
Dr. Kahn approaches Margarita and Tomas and says, "Yes Miss Margarita?"
"Where is that security officer going with the keys for the cuffs and chains? I don't want him to be too far, not with my granddaughter cuffed, chained and shackled like this!"
"Oh no Miss Margarita, the security officer is not going anywhere. He and the 100
priest are going to be waiting right outside in the hallway while we're hypnotizing Diane because what is said inside this room, is suppose to be confidential between us doctors, the patient and the patient's family, which are you guys. That's why the security officer and the priest left the room. They're going to be on stand by just in case of an emergency, okay? Don't worry, your granddaughter will alright."
"Okay Doctor." Margarita, Tomas, Mary, Barry, Tonio, Marilyn, Nicolas and Michael turn and continue to sadly stare at Diane D again. They slowly start to walk away towards the middle of the room. Nancy and Charlotte do not move. They continue to stand there several yards away from Diane D holding each other nervously staring at Diane D with tears in their eyes.
Michael approaches Nancy and Charlotte and whispers, "Are you girls alright?"
"No," Nancy cries. "We don't like seeing her like this Michael!"
"I know Nancy. But the sooner we get this thing done, the sooner those cuffs, chains and shackles will be off of her. So let's not waste anymore time and get this thing over and done with, okay? I want those cuffs, chains and shackles off her myself." Michael, Nancy and Charlotte continue to stand there sadly staring at Diane D.
They then turn and slowly start to walk away towards the middle of the room as they sadly stare at Diane D.
Diane D's family sits back down in the middle of the room several yards from her on her lower right again facing her. Dr. Stone stands in front of them and whispers, "Are you all okay?"
"No we're NOT okay Doctor Stone!" Barry whispers. "My daughter is laying over there wrapped in chains!"
"I know. We're going to get started right now. I can't wait to have those cuffs, chains and shackles removed from off her myself. Now we're going to get this thing started again, okay? This time, we're gonna try to bring out and meet, the OTHER
personality." Diane D's family frighteningly stare at Dr. Stone. He then whispers to them, "So get ready. Wish us luck." Dr. Stone turns away and goes back towards the rope as Diane D's family nervously stare at him.
Dr. Stone, Dr. Kahn and the Indian nurse who is now holding the blanket go into the velvet rope that is surrounding Diane D. Dr. Stone and Dr. Kahn head towards the chairs and grab them as the nurse heads towards Diane D. As the nurse approaches Diane D's left side, she gently smiles at Diane D's face and gently strokes the top of Diane D's hair and forehead. Then she gently holds Diane D's left shoulder continuing to smile at her. She then turns and gently places the blanket back over Diane D just below her forearms covering Diane's lower half of the body. She then turns and walks away as she takes one last look at Diane D again. She then looks forward and heads towards the velvet rope. She leaves from the velvet rope and heads towards the front door. She then leaves the room and closes the door behind herself.
