Chapter Twelve


At the Manor:

After breakfast, Roland told Paul, “Craig called late last night, Joseph had a nightmare, and he told Shelly his Nurse that someone was trying to hurt him, but he never got to see the person's face.”

Paul then said, “His sub-conscience is beginning to open up, but his mind can't deal with it, so it's stopping the feelings from coming to the surface.”

Greta then asked, “What are you going to do now?” Paul looked at her and he said, “I'm going to have to do the same thing that I did when I was helping Seto, the same thing that you hated me for doing.”

Then from behind them they heard, “I never had nightmares after the first time we met, why is Joey so different then me?” Seto asked.

Roland looked at Greta and said, “Make sure that Mokuba doesn't come in here, now Seto please come and sit down, Joseph's abuse was worse then yours was, that's why.”

Seto then said, “If I ask what happened to him, would either of you tell me?”

Paul said, “Why is it so important that you know?” Tears filled Seto's eyes as he said, “I love him, that's why, but he doesn't know yet.”

Paul looked at Roland and he said, “What do you think, is he strong enough to deal with what happened to Joseph?”

Roland then said, “I don't know, but if it were me, I'd want to know. We have time before we have to get to the hospital, but I'll need your help.” Then he looked at Seto and said, “Alright, but we have to go to the den, Mokuba is never to know what happened.”

When they went into the den, Roland closed and locked the door, then he walked over and pushed the button under the desk, the side door opened and Matthew, Daniel and James all walked in. Roland said, “Get the things out of the safe, Seto have asked about Joseph.”

Matthew looked at Roland as if he lost his mind, he said, “Ro, what in the hell are you doing, there's no damn way that Seto is going to be able to deal with all of this.”

Daniel then said, “Matt, if it were me I'd want to know if anything happened to you, and I'd damn well be able to deal with anything that I saw, because my love for you as my friend would help me.”

Matthew then got out the two boxes and put them on the table, then Roland turned to Seto and he said, “What's in those boxes, were caused by a sick, demonic bastard who thought that he could do what ever he wanted to do.

What happened to you was caused by a sick bastard who wanted you to be what he couldn't be. The difference between the Joey‘s father and Gozaburo is that Gozaburo no matter how much you hated him, never treated you like his own personal sex object. He did cause your mind to shut down, but Joseph's mind has not only shut down, it's locked away the things that happened.

Paul was able to help you find a way to come back; then you were able to deal with what happened to you, but with Joseph, Paul's going to need all our help. You're going to have to be stronger then you've ever been, Joseph's going to need that strength to be able to deal with what was done to him.”

Seto looked around the room at the men that he's grown to love as family and he said, “How do I do it, if what's happened to Joey was so horrendous, how do I do it?”

Matthew then went over to where Seto was sitting. He knelt down and looked at Seto and he said, “You have to learn to close off some of your emotions. When you do that, you will be there when Joey needs you. You will able to take anything that is thrown your way. With that strength, you will be able to help Joey when the darkness seeps in and be able to help the lost boy inside, the boy that had to overcome so much. You will be able to do that, for Joey and for yourself.”

Paul then said, “I need to get to the Hospital, I want to have another session with Joseph.” Roland looked at Seto and he said, “If you have any questions, you know that you can ask Matthew, Daniel or James anything, just make sure that your brother isn't anywhere around when you do.”

Then Roland walked over and unlocked the door, and he and Paul left to go to the Hospital. When they got into the Hummer, Paul said, “Today I've got to try to unlock what Joseph's hiding inside his sub-conscience, but it's going to be hard, I don't want to traumatize him.”

At the Hospital:

When they got to the Hospital, they went to the floor that Joseph's room was on; Roland stopped at the Nurses Station and asked, “Will you please tell Dr. Hunter that Roland and Paul are here to see Joseph Wheeler.”

Craig came and the three of them went into the room, Joseph was resting so Paul went over to the bed and he said, “I'm going to hypnotize him, then in a soft voice, “Joseph, can you hear me?”

Joseph said, “Yes I can.” Then Paul said, “I want you to go back in time to when you were a young boy, I need you to tell me about your relationship with your father, you won't be afraid of anything that you see.”

“Now what do you see?” Paul asked. Joseph then said, “I'm in my room doing my homework, then my dad came home, he started yelling my name and then he kicked my bedroom door open and yelled, “Get your no good ass out here and fix my dinner.”

I leave my room and went to the kitchen, I started fixing dinner, but I guess it wasn't what he wanted, because the next thing I knew I was flying across the kitchen where I hit the wall. My head was bleeding and all my dad did was laugh, he then said, “Get the hell up and clean up this mess.”

I got up and I felt like I was going to pass out, but because I was afraid of my dad's temper, I got some rags out and cleaned up the food and blood off the floor and walls. My dad left the kitchen and went to the living room where he fell asleep; I guess he had too many beers. Then the room went black, I passed out.”

Paul then said, “How old were you then?” Joseph said, “I was ten.” Paul then said, “Let’s go forward to when you were a teenager, and was you father still abusing you?”

Joseph nodded his head yes, and then he said, “I had to wake up early, get dressed in the dark and sneak out of the house just to go to school. If I made any sounds, my dad would wake up and that would mean that I got beat again.”

Paul then asked, “What happened when you got home from school?” Tears fell down Joseph's face then and he said, “If I was late for any reason, my dad would take his belt off and hit me over and over on my back and legs, while he was hitting me he would yell that I was no good, that I should of died when my mom gave birth to me.

I would pass of from the pain and when I woke up, I would be lying on the floor in my own blood, and I would get up, go to the bathroom, and take a shower to wash off the blood.

Then I'd nearly crawl back to my bed and try to get some sleep, praying that I'd wake up before my dad so that I wouldn't get hit again.”

Joseph was shaking so badly that the entire bed moved, Craig walked over to Paul and whispered, “I think that's enough for today, he needs to calm down I don't know what this is doing to his body. You can come back tomorrow, but please stop for now.”

Paul then walked over to the bed and he said, “Joseph when I snap my fingers you'll be sound asleep and you won't remember any of this.” Then he snapped his fingers and Craig went over and Joseph was sleeping and his vital signs were normal.

Then Roland turned off the camera and he and Paul left the room and went out to the Hummer, and Roland drove back to the Manor.
