'What?' asked Joseph shocked.

'Anne Péterffy was my great grandmother.' answered Clarisse.

'So that means…' started Joseph.

'That means that our great grandparents were in love with each other… like us. Exactly like us.' said Clarisse.

'And the story is the same, she turned down his proposal…Fortunately I didn't kill myself, but…'

'But?'

'But it occurred to me for a second…'

'Oh my God Joseph!' cried Clarisse.

'Calm down! I didn't do it.' smiled Joseph.

'No. I mean I did it to you…' said Clarisse and started to cry.

'Sshh darling!' said Joseph softly and held her tight. ' Now you're mine and that's the point. Fortunately you changed your mind.'

'Yes. But poor Mihály and Anne… Oh Joseph, I've felt that sadness in my whole life, Anne's sadness , what I felt when I looked at Mihály in my dream. Oh history repeats itself…' said Clarisse, she was still sobbing.

'But we changed the History. Our story has a happy end.' smiled Joseph.

'Yes, but…'

'No. It's over Clarisse. We're together.We are extremely happy instead of them. '

'Yes you're right. But I have to do something.'

'What darling?' asked Joseph.

'I read about Anne's diary in one of the books. I have to find it, if there is still in the castle.'Cos I'm sure she wants to tell me something.'

'Ok. If you want… And I already have an idea how to find it.' smiled Joseph.

'Really? How?'

'We need a hypnotherapist. 'Cos we already know who you were, I mean in your dream.'

'Good idea.' smiled Clarisse ' Do you know one?'

'Yes I have an old friend of mine, her name is Kate, she was my mother's friend. Now she's about 80, but very good in her profession and fortunately she lives near here.'

'Right. Do it. Call her.' smiled Clarisse.

'Ok.' answered Joseph with a smile.

OOOOOOOOO

The next day Kate arrived. She was very excited and wanted to start the therapy as soon as possible…

So now Clarisse was laying on the sofa in front of Kate, and the others: Joseph, the doctor and Alfred just tip-toed in the room…

'Now we're going back to the 1840's and you'll be Anne…' started Kate.

'Can I ask you a question?' asked Clarisse.

'Of course.'

'Is it like 'previous life' thing?'

'No. You weren't Anne in your previous life. She was your great grandmother. How can I explain it?... When something really shocking happens in your life, I mean a big trauma, it soaks into your body, and you can transmit it by heredity. It becomes the part of your gene. In Anne's life the lost of her love was so traumatic that you can feel it in your bones as you said before. Clear?'

'Absolutely. Thank you.' smiled Clarisse.

'And I have a question too.' said Joseph.

'Yes?'

'She will speak in Hungarian again, am I right? ... I mean during the hypnosis …'

'No. The nightmare was a natural thing, I mean we couldn't do anything against it, but the hypnosis is a consciousthing. We'll both speak in English, I think it's easier for everybody, it doesn't mean that she can't speak in Hungarian during the hypnosis, but I think it's easier…'

'Thank you.'

'Right. Can we start it?' asked Kate from Clarisse.

'Yes. I'm ready.'

'Right. Now look into my eyes and please concentrate. I'll count from one 'till three and you will fall asleep. Ok?' asked Kate.

'Ok. Do it.'

'Right. Concentrate. One… two… three.' said Kate and Clarisse slowly closed her eyes. Her breathing was slow. 'Can you hear me?'

'Yes, I can.'

'Right. Now we're going back to 1840. You're a young woman, you're living in a castle in Keszthely and your name is…'

'Anne Péterffy.' answered Clarisse.

'Exactly. Anne please tell me where are you and what are you doing now?'

'I am in my room. I'm looking out of the window. A coach's just arrived.'

'Which room is yours?' asked Kate.

'As we go upstairs the third on the left.' answered Clarisse.

'Right. Anne you have a diary, am I right?'

'Yes I have.'

'Where is it?'

'I keep it in a secret place.' answered Clarisse.

'Can you take it out for me?'

'Of course.'

'Anne please take the diary out and during this tell me every step you take. Can you do that?' asked Kate.

'Yes of course. Ok I turned around. Now I'm going towards the wardrobe… I'm opening it… pushing the clothes aside… and in the left corner there is a button… I'm pushing it… now a little case is opening… and now I'm taking out the diary.'

'Thank you Anne. Now concetrate, I'll count from three 'till one and you 'll wake up. Right?'

'Right.' answered Clarisse.

'Ok. Three… two… one… and you're back in the room.' said Kate and Clarisse opened her eyes.

'What happened?' asked Clarisse surprised.

'Everything was fine. You found your diary. It's in the third room on the left in a secret place.' smiled Kate.

'Really? Perfect!... So?...What are we waiting for?' asked Clarisse excitedly. 'Let's go and find it!' That was the magic word; suddenly everybody got up then started to run towards Anne's room.

As they stepped in, Joseph tore the wardrobe's door open and looked for the button, Five minutes passed, but he still couldn't find it.

'Let me…' said Clarisse and stepped closer. Then one movement and the secret place was opened and she took the diary out…

'I've found it! Here's Anne's diary.' smiled Clarisse…

To be continued…
