The Phantom Wolf

Chapter 19 (An Invitation)

*3rd Person POV*

"It's nice to meet you all." Pearl directed her words towards the large group. Before focusing back on the pixie haired vampire, now known as Alice. "But seriously, you think I could borrow some other clothes that are slightly smaller? Holding them up is annoying." Whilst speaking Pearl pulled the trousers further up her body to prove her point.

"Sure!" Alice voiced excitedly. "I'll be right back!" With that she sped off back inside the house.

"How about we go inside and sit down." Carlisle suggested. "It would seem that we've got a lot to talk about."

Agreements were heard all around, so the rather large group made their way inside the Cullen residence and situated themselves in the living room. Rosalie and Emmet sat next to each other on a couch, with Jasper resting against the arm rest. Esme and Carlisle took the opposite couch with Bella and Edward standing beside them. Pearl chose to lean up against a wall, a fair distance away from the coven, but not enough to show a clear dislike for any of them. Bree chose to stand next to Pearl, with about a metre of distance between them.

Before the first conversation could get underway, Alice raced back into the room holding what looked to be, a smaller set of clothes.

"Here you go!" She stated cheerily whilst handing them over to Pearl.

Hesitating slightly, before accepting them, Pearl mumbled a quick "thanks" and used her ability to disappear, so that she could get changed away from the prying eyes.

Alice placed herself by Jaspers side before starting to talk animatedly about her newest vision that she just had.

"They're gonna be apart of our family!" She exclaimed happily to her family, whilst gesturing to where the new born and hybrid stood, before said hybrid disappeared with some clothes.

"Are you sure Alice?" Edward being the first to voice his doubt and confusion about the topic.

"See for yourself Eddie." Alice quickly responded, before thinking over the new vision she just had, so that Edward could see it.

Edward sighs after looking over it. "Fine. Can't argue with that. But, Alice?"

"Yeah?" She responds innocently.

"Don't call me that." Edward grumbles.

"Call you what?" She asks cheekily.

"You know exactly what." Edward glares at her.

"Okay!" Esme says, choosing to interrupt the siblings before the disagreement escalates. "That's enough." She scolds the two.

Carlisle choosing to speak up "What did you see Alice? Edward?"

Before either could answer, Pearl deactivates her ability, reappearing inside the living room. This time wearing clothes that fit her rather well.

"Where did you get these? They fit perfectly. And looking at all of you, I'm pretty sure none of us are the same size." Pearl asked, confusion evident in her tone.

"Secret!" Alice giggled.

Pearl stared at the pixie dumbfounded. "... what?"

"She does this a lot. You'll get used to it." Emmet stated, grinning widely.

"... Okay then?" Pearl responded questionably.

Emmet smirked at the hybrid. Then Rosalie spoke up.

"So what now?" She asked.

The room was encased by an awkward silence, as no one knew what to say. Pearl wanted to ask the human about what she said before but, didn't think that it would be the best idea to do so in front of all these vampires, so she remained silent. Eventually the silence was broken by an excited Alice, who jumped away from Jasper and skipped up to the two new girls.
