EsmeRay Jadis Swan I'd the adopted daughter of Charlie Swan and Renee Dwyer.
She was given to them by an old friend of Helena Swan and asked that they take care of her. Her unusual appearance and the fact that strand things happen when she's upset...
Esmeray's POV Maybe we went a little overboard with the baking, but it was stress baking so we'll allow it to slide this once. We made one strawberry, one cherry, one blueberry, one pecan, and one apple pie we almost made a pumpkin pie and a chocolate mousse pie but then we caught sight of the time and quickly cleaned up and changed into semi casual outfits and headed over to La Push.

Cora drove us to the bonfire as we chatted as we walked up to the cozy little spot picked out on the beach. "So you've never been to La Push? But you've been here your whole life!" "I wasn't exactly popular in high school then I got so busy at the diner I must've lost track of time!" Cora laughed, we both stopped when we realized that everyone was staring specifically at Cora who was unknown to them.
I noticed that Sam invited Jared Cameron and Paul Lahote both had their arm around a girl, Paul with Rachel and a girl named Kim Connweller was with Jared. Embry Call, Sam's half brother from his dad Joshua, was following Rebecca around and being 'helpful' every time I looked at the couples I noticed that the word 'imprint' appeared in my head. I noticed that Quil Ateara 1st and his grandson Quil 3rd were also present with four other women that I recognized as Tiffany Call, Joy Ateara, Janet Cameron, and Allison Uley.
Cora shifted uncomfortably so I spoke up "Everyone meet Cora Stone she's mine and dad's plus one" a few of the boys let out whoops of 'get some Charlie!' I rolled my eyes and said "Be respectful boys. She's also with me and let's not forget what happened when Quil tried to give me cooties" this caused a roar of laughter from everyone except Quil who whined about me being mean.
Aunt Sarah and Aunt Sue welcomed her and began introducing her to everyone while we set the pies down on a row of picnic tables Rachel and Rebecca approached me "Ray! We told you not to bring anything!" "This party's for you!" They whined and I rolled my eyes "You know damn well that Old Quil wouldn't let me off the hook if I showed up without anything" they laughed and nodded as I sliced a piece of pecan pie and walked over to Old Quil and handed it to him before pecking his cheek and sitting on a log next to him.
"You brought a stranger on our land" he commented, before taking a bite of the pie. He was awarded with looks from his friends at that comment. Old Quil didn't trust outsiders especially pale faces not after his wife was murdered in a drunk driving accident and his only son was shot in his own home by some grifter both were white men it left a sour taste in his mouth "She's family to me Quil, she's my mother" I whispered before resting my head on his shoulder.
He was silent before saying "That so....she help you bake these?" I murmured out a 'yes' Quil suddenly spoke up and said "Charlie! You owe Miss Cora there a ring! These pies are amazing!" I giggled as everyone else snickered and dad and Cora blushed.
Burgers, fried chicken and fish, hotdogs, bags of chips, cookies, pie, ribs, and steaks were passed around as everyone ate and talked and laughed. Dad allowed me to have some beers but my limit were five bottles. Everyone was having a good time............
