Chapter 12
October 23, 45008
It has been 10 days since the death of Impmon. Elvira and Yue are still trying to make things normal again. They are both going to live with Yue's parents for a while so that they can get their minds off of what has happened for a while. They arrived at 3:00 that evening. Yue had just landed on the doorstep with Elvira asleep in her arms when the door opened. It was her father waiting for her. He stepped aside to let them in. "I made your room the way it used to be. I put in an extra bed in case Elvira wants to sleep in the same room as you. I have also prepared another room for her just in case." Mikhail said as he led his daughter into the living room. Right as Yue sat down on the couch Elvira woke up.
"Hello grandpa. I missed you." She said wiping her eyes. She then sat next to her mother on the couch. "Where is grandma? I have a surprise for her."
"She is in the kitchen, why don't you go see her. I need to talk to your mother for a little while alone."
"Okay, I'll see you later grandpa." She said as she hugged him. She went over to her mother and gave her a kiss. She ran toward the kitchen.
Mikhail then sat down next to Yue and started to rub her shoulders. "How have you been holding up? I know that this must be very hard for you to handle. How is Elvira handling all of this? It must suck to lose her father at such a young age." Mikhail said.
"Elvira is doing much better than I am. The day he died Hellboy talked to her and she has been doing pretty well ever since. Or she is just hiding her feelings from me to make me feel better. I can't tell if she really is fine or if she is upset because her father taught her how to put up very strong barriers in her mind that I can't pass.
I am afraid that if I try to break through them she will think that I am intruding on her life. I don't know what to do dad. I am thinking about taking her to see a therapist and I am going to see one too. But how am I going to explain what happened to a human therapist. As far as I know there are no Carpathian therapists." Yue said with her hands over her eyes.
"Yue, honey, I know a friend that will be able to help you. She is a human therapist, but she knows everything about Carpathians. She has been a very good friend of mine. I saved her life one day and she has been my friend ever since. Her name is Joanna. I can have her see you and Elvira any time you choose. I will call her tonight and we will set things up. I am going to get a drink, do you want anything?" Yue nodded. Mikhail got up and went into the kitchen.
Yue watched him go into the kitchen. She remembered her marriage, and learning that they were going to have Elvira. Her memories went to when she was 7 months pregnant and Impmon blew up the stove while trying to make a cake for her. The memory made her cry and laugh at the same time. Yue heard Elvira scream and ran into the kitchen. Upon arrival she saw her daughter floating in the air. "Mom, get me down. I'm scared!" Elvira later explained that she was talking to her grandmother and the next thing she knew she was floating out of control.
