Lucinda

The waves crashed loudly as Lucinda walked down the beach by herself her air blew in the wind covering her face the sky was a basic blueish-gray color with nothing but wisps in the sky she wore nothing but shorts and a large hoodie that swallowed her

She noticed that it was at least 10 in the morning which marked her being at the beach for 2 hours just out of guilt. She made her way back to the house using the road path instead of going through the woods which is how she got there in the first place.

While walking she covered herself by putting her hood up, she keeps her eyes on the ground. She passed many houses and driveways starting to get worried thinking she got lost she looked around not fully recognizing where she was but continued walking anyway.

Back at Emily and Sam's house, Koda had woken up excited before greeting his parents that were in the kitchen making breakfast he walked across the bathroom that he shared with Lucinda and into his room wanting to wake her up only to see that she wasn't in her room. Koda ran out of her room into the bathroom and into his room heading out to the kitchen to inform his parents "She's gone!" He yelled to his parents he started opening and closing doors and turning on lights Emily looked at her husband and back at her son who was running around "Koda?" she says walking over to him Koda she says again louder getting his attention "Yes" he says

"What's wrong." He pointed upstairs "She's gone Lucinda is gone." Emily looked back at Sam then back at her son "I'm sure she'll be back." Koda paused for a while with a puzzled look "Are you sure?" He asked his mother "Positive" he sighed and went over to the couch laying down Emily walked back over to Sam taking over the cooking she left him with

The front door opened causing Koda to get up and rush over to the door a loud groan could be heard from Koda. Emily and Sam laugh Seth and Paul are here Koda yells "So is Embry." Embry yelled Koda went back to the couch Emily greeted them as they came into the kitchen "Our house guest went missing," she tells them as they sat down to eat

Lucinda walked down the Uley's driveway with relief right when she thought she was lost she found the mailbox which she remembered Lucinda walked into the house to smell food she walked into the kitchen and stood strangely at at the entrance there were many faces that she didn't know and only a few that she did know Seth and Leah her grandfather's girlfriends kids and Sam and Emily.

"The Cullens want us to come over tomorrow to discuss something." Sam says "What do they want to discuss?" Paul asked "I'm not sure which is why we're going." Seth shrugged his shoulders and looked at Leah then back at the group "I'm pretty sure Jacob is having us go anyway." Jared shook his head "I don't know why we are involved with them." He mumbles "Why not I think it's good to know we have them on our side what if something happens to us."

She was unnoticed by the crowd of people which was fine for her but she didn't see Koda

She walked into Koda's room confused that he wasn't there she didn't see him downstairs in the kitchen before heading back downstairs she went into her room to change into something better cause it was warm in the house she changed her hoodie into a short tank top and changed into high waisted lounge shorts with a cardigan she made her way downstairs getting a glance at the couch and there she found a small body laying she walked over to the couch she looked down at the body and shook him lightly "What?" The boy grumbled unaware of who it was

"Why are you laying like that?" She asked Koda moved his head slightly up to see who it was he glared at her and sat up "I was worried about you." He tells her She looked at him strangely and then looked at his parents and then back at him "I'm sorry I just went for a walk." Koda got up unimpressed by her reason for leaving him "I didn't know I made such an impression." She says turning around and walking over to the kitchen

"Hello, I'm Lucinda." She says introducing herself "Your Charlie's child, right?" Seth asked remembering her face from the one time they met "Yeah something like that." She replied, "I didn't know Charlie had another child." Paul said She shook her head "I'm Isabella's daughter." She slowly says confusion was written on everyone's face as Lucinda corrected Paul on whose daughter she was "What?" Embry said, "Isabella I think she goes by Bella now she says thinking for just a minute "She's my mom."

"Who's your dad?" Jared asks "You don't know him but his name is Kazuki Kanji he lives in Arizona." Everyone was shocked by the new information. They just learned about Bella Swan the girl they thought they knew. Lucinda paused for a minute caught in her thought "Lucinda" Emily said "Lucinda" she repeated. Lucinda had a blank face she snapped out of her trance and then looked at the group "Do you know her?" She asked out of curiosity her head tilted to the side a little.

They shared a look unsure if they should say anything Lucinda noticed this and took a step forward, "She most likely doesn't even know what I look like." She said told them "What makes you think that?" Emily asked "The last time I saw her was at the airport she was coming to Forks to live here and I was going to Arizona to live with my dad for a while. I saw her but she didn't see me."

"So, you hardly know her?" Leah asked "No... I have no idea who she is. I was born sick so to ensure my safety I stayed in Forks and her mom aka my grandmother took her back to Arizona." Lucinda glanced at her feet before looking back up

"So?"
