Hey everyone. This is the last chapter of Trapped Swan and U have to admit I'm not very happy of how this chapter turned out. It's short and a bit muddled but I feel like I was rushing to finish. So here it is...
You can miss a lot in ten years. Isabella Cullen had missed a lot in ten years. She had stayed away from Forks, the whole Cullen clan had moved up to Alaska and they still resided there. Staying away from her hometown also meant staying away from Charlie and Lucy and Jake. She didn't know anything of their lives now. Alice never looked for her, the whole family still thought Bella had killed Lucy and while that was hard it would have been much harder if Lucy had actually died. So Bella slipped away, giving some small excuse to Edward. That's how she ended up in her old backyard, watching her family within.
You can experience a lot in ten years. Lucy Lahote had experienced a lot in ten years. After graduating she had moved to La Push, where she worked with her step-mother Sue at Harry Clearwater's old diner. There were no more horse sized wolves in La Push but the pack remained how they had always been, a tight knit family. They spent holidays together, they raised their kids together. Lucy and Paul's eldest daughter was seven, the same age as Jake's eldest son. Jacob had settled down with a nice girl who was worthy of holding the secrets of the pack. Leah had moved away after she stopped phasing but she visited frequently and kept a close relationship with her stepsister. Lucy missed Bella terribly, though. It had been hard, not seeing her or talking to her. She never thought she would see her again. They sat at Charlie's. Lucy was making coffee and Paul had their two kids perched on his lap when she saw him tense. Though the boys had stopped phasing their sense's were still heightened and Paul sensed the vampire outside.
"Hey kids, go play with Grandpa for a second. I got to talk to your mother." Paul said, giving each of his children a kiss on the cheek before sending them off to the living room with Charlie and Sue. He walked up to Lucy and enveloped her in a hug.
"Paul, what is it?" She asked, fear deep set in her.
Paul took a deep breath, "Your sister is outside."
Lucy froze at his words for a good minute. Then she slowly nodded and walked towards the back door. Snow covered the ground outside. Out of view from the window's was Bella, in all her vampire glory. She looked like she had when Lucy last saw her, although her eyes were now golden and her edges seemed more smooth. Lucy had aged though. She was nearly thirty. They looked at each other for a long time, neither of them speaking. In fact Lucy was the only one who talked during that meeting. She told her about what she had missed. Weddings; Lucy's, Jake's, hell even Charlie's. She told her about the packs kids and how they were like one big family. Charlie was still in the dark about the wolves and the vampires but he was still brought around them. She told her everything she could before she went inside and shut the door. Bella stayed outside for another hour before going home.
Lucy was already home.
