The Phantom Wolf

Chapter 93 (Birthday Surprise)

*3rd Person POV*

Over the next few weeks, the family dynamic evened out, and all of the worry for Renesmee was put on the back burner. Renesmee is now the size of a 3 year old toddler, and has become just as excitable as a regular toddler. So when Jacob let it slip that Pearl's birthday was coming up, Renesmee made it her personal mission to make the birthday party amazing.

Of course Auntie Alice jumped at the opportunity to plan a party, and assisted the little hybrid with everything that was needed.

To say that Alice wasn't a bit miffed by the fact that Pearl hadn't informed anyone of her upcoming birthday, was an understatement. The pixie was beyond livid, as it only left her two days to plan a sufficient party for the hybrid.

The rest of the family was also quite surprised to hear how close Pearl's birthday was, and they were fairly confused why the hybrid had failed to mention it. That confusion was quickly cleared up after Bree asked Pearl a subtle question about it, and Pearl didn't have a clue what her imprint was talking about.

It turned out that Pearl had completely forgotten about her birthday, as she hadn't been paying any attention to the dates and was rather distracted by everything that had been happening previously.

This lead to Alice deciding that they would plan a surprise birthday party for Pearl.

The vampires all quickly got to work and secured presents for the hybrid. They also obtained decorations for the house, all while keeping their actions and intentions, hidden from the clueless Pearl.

On the day of Pearl's birthday, different roles were assigned to each coven member. Emmet and Bree were tasked with keeping Pearl out of the house, so that the party could be set up. Rosalie, Esme and Carlisle were in charge of the food, more specifically, the cake. Jasper had to go and pick up Pearl's main and final present as it had just arrived in the next city over. This, left Edward, Bella, Alice and Renesmee in charge of all the decorating.

Of course when it came to all of the decorations allocated locations, Alice was being her bossy self. But it seemed that her personality had rubbed off on little Renesmee, as the tiny hybrid was soon telling her father off for putting some bunting in the wrong place.

'Oh god, there's two of them.' Edward sweat dropped, once he realised that his pixie sister now had a double.

Emmet and Bree took Pearl out of the house early that morning, under the guise of needing to hunt. It didn't take Pearl long to figure out that they just wanted her out of the house.

Since Emmet lacked a good poker face, the hybrid was able to read him like a book. But instead of drawing attention to it, Pearl decided to ignore why they wanted her out of the house for now, and chose to just figure it out later.

When the three of them had finished hunting, Pearl climbed to the top of a tall tree and gazed at the cliff side, and everything down below. The view was quite appealing and comforting to the hybrid, so she thought it best to stay up there for a while.

Emmet and Bree were perfectly happy with Pearl's decision as it meant that they didn't have to come up with some sort of lie to keep Pearl outside.

But after some time had passed, the two vampires grew rather bored and became consequently restless. So they started playing small games between themselves, including truth or dare. Pearl listened to a few rounds and then chose to join in.

The three supernaturals continued their game for a few hours, until Emmet's phone alerted them to a new message. Upon reading it, the big vampire jumped up excitedly and exclaimed that it was time to go back home.
