You've met the fun, loving Seth Clearwater. And you've met the hard headed, stubborn Leah Clearwater. But have you met Pearl Clearwater?
Pearl's life is turned upside down by the death of her father. Her siblings disappear for a few weeks then retur...
"Alright, first thing you're gonna do is race with Emmet in you vampire form. Then we'll do the same thing again, but in your wolf form instead." Jasper said, telling Pearl what her first test was going to be.
Pearl nodded and moved to the starting line Carlisle had set up.
Emmet took his position next to the hybrid and smirked at her. "Your win against Bella was definitely a fluke." He claimed confidently.
"Oh yeah?" Pearl indulged his fantasy belief.
Emmet nodded determinedly and said, "I'm gonna win this, prepare to eat my dust sis!"
Pearl snickered and in a challenging playful tone said, "You're on bro!"
"Okay. This will be three laps around the field. First person to cross this line wins." Carlisle explains, pausing for a moment, he then says pointedly, "I know what you two are like, so there are rules that you need to follow."
Both Pearl and Emmet groaned at the mention of rules. Jasper chuckled at them, while Carlisle discreetly rolled his eyes.
"I don't want to hear complaints out of either of you. These tests will help us determine how much Pearl has changed, which means that you both need to treat this seriously. Understand?" Carlisle warned in a fatherlike tone of voice.
"Yes Carlisle." Emmet and Pearl said simultaneously.
"Good. Here are the rules: No fighting, No pushing, No tripping, No biting, Pearl you cannot shift during this test, and Emmet, no cutting corners." The patriarch explained firmly.
"Cutting corners?!" Emmet spluttered. "We're running in a circle?!"
"I'm surprised you know what a circle is, Emmet." Pearl teased.
Emmet grumbled before snakily replying. "I'm not the one who forgot how a door worked."
"That was one time!" Pearl shouted.
Emmet started laughing. "Yeah! One time! But then you walked into it on the way out of the room as well!"
Pearl growled lowly and positioned herself to pounce on him. Seeing this, Jasper sent a wave of calm over to her. Which stopped the hybrid in her tracks. Pearl side eyed the Texan, then narrowed her eyes at Emmet's still snickering figure.
"I'm adding a new rule." Carlisle bluntly stated. Gaining his children's attention. "No smack talking each other during the race."
"Aww" Emmet whined. "But that's what makes it fun." He complained.
Carlisle raised an eye brow and gave the big guy a pointed look, which shut Emmet up very quickly.
Carlisle started talking again, "This isn't just a competition, try to remember that. Pearl, we're trying to find out what you're now capable of, so don't hold back." He said firmly.
"Got it." Pearl responded with an affirmative.
"Alright, get back to your starting positions and get ready." Jasper spoke up in a commanding tone, leaving no room for arguments.
Emmet and Pearl repositioned themselves and focused on the task at hand. And although they were aware that this was ultimately a test to see what Pearl could now do, that didn't stop them from getting competitive with the other. Both of them wanted to beat the other in this race, badly.
"Three" Jasper started the countdown.
Pearl lowered herself to the ground a bit more, while Emmet dug his heels into the ground.
"Two" Jasper announced.
Carlisle moved further away from his excited children and went to stand next to Jasper.
"One" Jasper said, anticipation filling his voice.
Pearl and Emmet smirked at each other before setting their eyes on the track.
"Go!" The Texan shouted, starting the race.
As soon as the word left their brother's mouth, the two took of running. The race finished in a matter of seconds. But it ended with Pearl being the winner. The hybrid was able to stay a few metres ahead of Emmet from the moment the race began.
Emmet made some complaints about the results and tried to dispute them, but none of them were entertained and all of his points were ignored. As everyone had already started preparing for the next one. Pearl turned invisible and dropped her clothes on the floor, then reappeared as her silver wolf.
The hybrid's wolf in question, had changed a bit since the last time the vampires saw her. So it took her family members by surprise.
The once bright blue eyes that had small specks of gold in them, were now a bright emerald green. No golden hue or deep blue colour in sight. Her silver fur now looked more sleek and shiny than before, it was like her fur had been groomed meticulously, and had been well taken care of by a professional. There weren't any injuries or scars present either. No traces left of the blood that had coated Pearl's body a few days prior. The hybrid's fur also appeared to be a lighter colour than what it was previously, pair that with her new eyes, Pearl looked like a new wolf.
The three vampires marvelled at the hybrid as they took in her new appearance.
Emmet was the first to speak up after Pearl shifted. "Gotta admit, you look good. Now, let's see what you can do, pup." He smirked.
Pearl huffed in response and gave her brother a wolfy grin.
The race between Pearl's wolf and Emmet was hardly a competition. Pearl absolutely smoked him. She managed to get a whole lap ahead of him and had continued to pull ahead. It became obvious to everyone very quickly, that Pearl had become a lot faster as a wolf. Her new speed was unmatched.
The four continued to test and try out Pearl's abilities for a couple of hours. Each test proved that Pearl's capabilities had improved significantly.
Pearl's heart was a lot slower than it had been before. So Carlisle theorised that Pearl's wolf had completely accepted the vampire venom and had merged with it. Which meant that her heart was no longer fighting in a panic to keep beating, it had slowed down because of the acceptance from both aspects. Her heart still beat because of the wolf's presence, it hadn't died or disappeared. It had just accepted more of the vampire side into itself and the venom hadn't tried to kill the wolf off. The two sides of Pearl, were now fully co-existing. Which has resulted in a majorly upgraded vampire-shifter hybrid.
The group eventually finished up and went back to the house, splitting off in different directions to do their own thing.
Pearl went to her and Bree's shared room and bumped into her mate. Before the hybrid could apologise for bumping into her, Bree openly glared at her, then stormed off.
Getting frustrated with Bree's behaviour, Pearl ran after her and called her name.
"Bree!"
I didn't spend much time on this drawing, so it is very basic. I just wanted to highlight the main visible differences between Pearl's wolf form then, and what it looks like now. :)
