Chapter Six-Closer

-Woods-

Rosalie stopped at once when she heard Jacob speak. She turned around slowly and looked at him puzzled. "Rosie?" Jacob's eyes widened when he realized that he had called her by the name he used in his thoughts. A light blush went across his face and he started speaking but stuttered a few times. "Well, I...don't thinks its right to call you leech or anything else."

"What about Rosalie or just Rose?" She crossed her arms and shifted back and forth to each of her feet. "Too many people call you both, I'm sure something new is good yeah?" Jacob spoke honestly. He saw the tension in her face as she sat down where she was standing. He cautiously walked and sat in front of her, not wanting to get her angry or worse. "To be honest...I sometimes hate being called Rose." She spoke low and Jacob breathed quieter so he wouldn't miss her words. "Why?" He was curious now, all anyone called her was Rose. "...Royce called me Rose everytime." He saw she was hestitating, this side of her was different than what he saw before. She looked...worried, tense, other emotions. "Who's Royce?" Jacob could swear he saw her flinch. "No one. No one important that is." She stood up quickly and shoved her hands into her pockets a bit hard.

Jacob stood up looking at her and his eyebrows went together. He was about to ask again and press the matter but he could see she was somewhat uncomfortable. He didn't want her upset over anything or anyone. He didn't want to make her angry either, so he just gave a stern nod. "Is it alright if I call you Rosie?"

"Only if I can call you Jakey." She smirked at him and he held back a whine. His sisters had always called him Jakey, around all his friends and it annoyed the hell out of him. He got to thinking, if he could call her Rosie for his hated name then so be it. He grinned and even wondered if it would piss Emmett off. "Fine...but..."

"But what?"

"I'm the only one that gets to call you Rosie, your the only one who gets to call me...Jakey." He shuddered at saying it, distaste came to him with the memories of teasing from his sisters. "Hmm...I guess I can agree to that." Jacob smiled brightly. He felt he could be beaming with the small happiness that the little name exchange gave him. "Good Rosie." He grinned at her and she smiled. "I suppose it is Jakey." He shook his head at that and sighed.

This was going to be a pain from his pack brothers and sister.

-Later At Night-La Push-

"Ohh Jakey wanna go on patrol with us?" Paul chuckled in his head and sat showing a wolf grin. "Don't. Call me that, only she gets to." Jacob growled at Paul which caused another laugh from Paul through his head. "And none of us are as special? I feel hurt!" Paul tried to keep it straight, to not laugh but he couldn't help it. Jacob scowled and stood up walking off. He kept walking until he saw Sam, he stopped and waited for what he was sure was going to be a lecture.

"Your spending too much time over the border Jacob." Sam was facing straight, he didn't turn his head to look at Jacob. Jacob saw they were at the cliffs, Sam was sitting at the edge and Jacob layed down. "I'm spending time with my imprint." Jacob didn't see why he had to clarify his reason. For a while, Sam was now not understanding anymore. It pissed Jacob off. Jacob stood up and started to dig his claws in the ground. He could hear all the thoughts Sam had about Rosalie. Every so often he'd hear, leech or bloodsucker. Also he heard the words, cold and bitch. Jacob found that offensive. She wasn't like that at all, even with the little time he spent with her now, he knew she wasn't really like that.

Something had made her tougher, stronger. He didn't know what, he wanted to know but wasn't going to press her. He glared at Sam then growled lowly. Sam finally turned around and growled in return. "You don't even know her Uley. So before you start thinking those thoughts, actually know the person."

"I do know her. She's a cold dead leech who you were unfortunately fated to. Just makes our jobs harder." Sam turned around leaving his back facing Jacob. Jacob continued to dig his claws harder into the ground. "Say anything else about her and you will no longer be the alpha. You are only it because I don't want to step up. But your making it look more appealing." Sam stiffened slightly but stayed silent. Jacob left the area running back closer to the Cullens home. He stopped when he smelt the scent of Edward and followed it.

Edward was covering up a few dead deers. Jacob stopped and sat down, sighing in his head. Edward turned around and dusted off his hands then put them behind his back. "Hey Jakey." Jacob looked at Edward and growled, Edward looked at him amused and sat down on a rock. "Dammit! She told you!"

"Actually I saw it in her head...just like I see other things." Jacob wondered what he was talking about then remembered his conversation with Sam. "Oh..." Edward gave a sharp nod and rubbed the bridge of his nose. "I think the progress you are making with Rosalie is...good. I'm surprised she hasn't kicked you back to La Push with all her complaining about your smell."

Jacob smiled in his head and layed down. "She mentions me?"

"She mentions your smell. And a few other things but that information is currently being withheld." Edward chuckled when he heard Jacob's groan from his mind. "That's not fair."

"Life isn't fair." Edward said with a shrug. Jacob glared at him then sighed. He remembered something then layed his head on his paws. "Who's Royce?" Jacob saw Edward stiffen. He also saw his eyes turn a darker shade, close to black. When Edward didn't answer Jacob started to get annoyed. "Who is Royce?" He spoke more slowly over each word in his mind. "That...that's not my business to tell, Jacob." Jacob looked at the ground and swallowed. "Rosie said he was no one...he hurt her didn't he? That why she was like that?" Jacob rethought his conversation with Rosalie when she mentioned Royce. Edward sighed and gave a slight nod. "He...Jacob I really can't say anything. If you want to know so bad then ask Rosalie when she's more comfortable with you."

"Alright. If it upsets her I'll just avoid it all together."

"Its a never ending sting." Edward said as he stood up. "By the way, did you tell her about..." Edward trailed off and smiled. "No...not yet..I will soon though."

"Before the fight?" Edward crossed his arms looking at Jacob. Jacob gave a lazy nod and suddenly felt very tired. "Good. And if your trying to annoy Emmett its working, he doesn't like her smelling like you." Edward said while walking away. Jacob grinned to himself and closed his eyes. "Well, too damn bad." He heard Edward chuckle and sighed. At least he was annoying someone. He couldn't stay awake any longer, he slowly fell asleep with too many thoughts.

-Woods-Close To Treaty Line-

Rosalie was out walking with Emmett and stopped when she saw a patch of fur curled up asleep. "Ahh Jakey." She pulled her arm from Emmett and ran over sitting down on her knees next to him. "Rose come on you smell enough like him as it is!" Emmett said very low, being not too happy. "He doesn't smell that bad." Emmett just stared at her and then shook his head. Rosalie started to run her fingers through Jacob's fur slowly and smiled.

Jacob slowly started waking up felling something cold go through his fur. He blinked his eyes open slowly then saw Rosalie out of the corner of his eye. "Hey Jakey." She smirked and he whined at the name. He got up and stretched shaking his head to get some of the leaves off. Rosalie stood up and picked a few leaves from his ears. "Jakey thats funny." Emmett laughed at it and started thinking of ways to tease Jacob about it. "Only I get to call him that." Rosalie stuck her tongue out at Emmett then turned her attention back to Jacob.

Emmett didn't like it.

But Jacob sure as hell did.

Jacob purposely put his head against Rosalie's stomach and rubbed then walked aound and brushed his side against her back. He was putting his scent on her and gave Emmett a 'I'm marking what's mine' look. Emmett glared and walked over his hands in light fists. Rosalie noticed and laughed. "Emmett don't get mad he's playing around. Since when can't you take a joke?" She put her hands on her hips and raised her eyebrows. "...Fine." Emmett mumbled out. Jacob left them going out of sight and phased back. He pulled on his clothes feeling a little stiff, walking back he stretched some more and yawned. "At least I had a nice wake up call, Rosie." Emmett looked back and forth between Jacob and Rosalie. "Rosie?" Rosalie smiled and nodded. "Only he calls me that."

Emmett showed a pout and looked at her. "But..." Rosalie laughed and shook her head. "No way, you call me Rose that's good enough for you." Emmett sighed and glanced at Jacob who was grinning smugly. "Fine."

"Now Emmett, go hang out with the others I want to ask Jacob some things." Emmett just looked at her. "Your sending me away?" He made a gasp sound and put his hand over his heart. "That hurts...very bad." Rosalie rolled her eyes and crossed her arms. "You will live, I'll be home later." Emmett groaned then walked at a human pace away. "Fiiine."

Once he was gone Jacob turned to Rosalie. "Is he always like that?"

"Like what?" Rosalie dropped her arms to her sides and smiled. "Sorta like a kid." Her laughing caught him off guard, he thought she'd at least yell at him. "He's one of the adult kid types fun to have around."

"Ahh...I see." Jacob smiled and felt very happy that she had sent him away. He kicked a rock and looked at her. "So what things do you want to ask me?"

"So we're playing a scoring game. I have one and you have zero, so I want to know have you been paying attention to the training?" Jacob thought over her words and smiled some. He had been paying attention. But he had payed attention to her more. "Yes..why?"

She smiled and started swinging her arms back and forth some. "So for score's sake lets see how good you are."

"Good I am?" Jacob asked looking at her. "Yeah Jacob, lets see how good you can fight a vampire. Unless you weren't paying attention to my brothers training." Jacob stared at Rosalie who was smiling a little evily. He started to feel uncomfortable, he couldn't fight her. If he hurt her he'd feel terrible, or be killed by him. "If your scared I'd beat you I could go easy on you." She was still smiling evily and stopped swinging her arms. "No...I just don't want to hurt you." He whispered which caused Rosalie to raise her eyebrows. "Emmett would kill me...so..." Rosalie had the 'oh' face now and laughed. "It won't be real fighting we just need to see how much you've learned."

Jacob wasn't sure about this, he felt nervous over it. But it would get him closer to her. "...Alright." Rosalie smiled stepping to the side. "You do remember he said to not let them get their arms around you?" Jacob nodded and blinked, he didn't see her there. He felt cool arms go around his waist and he looked over his shoulder at her. "Good then, now go phase Jakey. I want to train."

Next:

Jacob watched her cautiously, he saw her starting to make her move and she smiled. "Don't hold back, I'm not going to break." She spoke softly and continued smiling. Jacob shifted to his hind legs and jumped, making his own move.
