This is a fast update :) Because I got out of the stump of which the last chapter contained :3 Now I get to have Seth explain to Lakota about imprinting! And then Lakota's reaction… and what she does to Jacob since he doesn't know about the whole…you know, Seth telling her about the imprint thing. I think this might be a bit short too - but I'm getting there :) ONE STEP AT A TIME!

So…

Review?

**Jelly-Bean-Jr.

Lakota's point of view:

"Okay so this imprint thing…what is it?" I ask, leaning against my hand and watching Seth curiously, squinting at his boyish face while he repeatedly tapped his damn cheek.

"Well…I haven't imprinted yet so I can't say off of first hand. But I heard it's pretty awesome, you know?" He pauses to look at me, smiling widely to show off his dimples, "It's like when you find your forever. The one person that will complete you and make you want to wake up every morning just so you can see their face. It's like, one hug could make your heart explode from extreme happiness, your soul melting alone when you make her smile. It takes all of your willpower not to grin when you hear her name, and it takes even more not to rush to her side when you see her," he beams enthusiastically while nodding his head quickly.

Frowning I can only raise an eyebrow. What kind of low budget romance movies does he watch? Clearing my throat a bit I stared at Seth long and hard, not too sure what exactly was running through that child/dog brain of his but shrugged it off.

"Just cut the cute stuff and tell me," I insist, cocking an eyebrow. Don't get me wrong, Seth's cuteness wins points on my 'he's an okay kid' list, but sometimes, a bit too much can just be… you know, transfer him from the 'okay list' to the 'non-existent but I'll make one just for you hit list'. Seth frowns a little, sniffing and watching me for a minute or two before nodding vigorously as he grins and takes a deep breath.

"Okay. Well, the way Sam and Jacob kind of describe it is that it's like a blind man seeing the sun for the first time," he explains simply, like it told me everything. Honestly, it just made no sense whatsoever. Shaking my head I sigh, waving my hand around, how did we get from imprinting to the sun and a guy who couldn't see?

"I don't get it. If the man is blind… how does he see the sun? Is he not blind anymore or something? And if the blind man sees an imper or whatever you called it for the first time…how does he see her if he's blind?" Seth frowns, pausing to shake his head slowly.

"What? No, it's imprint, and that was a metaphor. I didn't actually mean a blind man seeing the sun for the first time."

"But you said that."

"Oh well…okay, let's put it this way," he murmurs, scratching the back of his neck, "it's just the feeling Jacob felt when he imprinted on you," he tries, looking a bit confused himself.

"But Jacob's not blind," I point out – nodding like the genius I was. Seth groans quietly, putting his head in his hands in frustration.

"Fine, alright… imprinting is like finding your soul mate – your other half. That's what you are; Jacob's other half. Get it?" What? No. I scrunch my nose up, shifting a little uncomfortably. Other half? Pfft, please. We weren't that serious, at least not now. And how would he know this anyways? Sure Jacob might get a little sappy from time to time, but I hardly believe he's the type to share his man feelings with his friends. Or Seth.

"Says who?"

"Oh, uhm, the spirit warriors, I guess."

"That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard."

"Is not!" I guffaw, pointing a finger at him.

"So is and you freaking know it," I narrow my eyes, making Seth puff out his cheeks, frustration clear on his face.

"Can I try again?" he asks, rubbing his forehead. And, of course, me being the nice person I was, I nod. Don't get me wrong, Seth is an okay kid to talk to; awesome at times, I'll admit – but you know, too much cuteness gets on my nerve. And Seth is just like a teddy bear stuffed to the brim with cuteness. Squeeze him once and you could expect him to squeak like a rubber ducky.

"Alright, alright," he murmurs, rubbing his palms together and thinking long and hard, "imprinting, for wolves, is finding your mate," he starts off, looking at me firmly, "get that?"

I nod once.

"Okay," he smiles, leaning back on his hands, "and, you see, Sam, Jacob, Jared, and the rest of the pack are all wolves. You get that too?" he checks, already thoroughly getting on my nerves.

"Yes, yes, Seth; I know all that already," I grumble. He shrugs, tapping his chin as he mouthed some words to himself.

"Well, each wolf has a soul mate; their imprint. The one that they are destined to be together from the day they were born, to the day they die."

"So it's like an arranged marriage?" I ask, making a face at him. How 19th century! Or… whatever century that was. Quite frankly the whole timeline for the world is a bit screwy for me. I mean, what came first? Big castles or electricity? Queen and Kings or dinosaurs?

"No!" Seth rushes out, his eyes popping open wide, "it's much more magical than that! No one's forcing you into anything. You just want it. Like Jacob with you, he loves you to no end and would die for you if it came to it. And Sam and Emily; Sam would do absolutely anything for Emily," he says, giving me an intense look. Tilting my head to the side I scratch my cheek, a small light bulb flickering in my genius head of mine.

"Wait…so what you're saying is that, Jacob. Jacob Black, is now condemned to do whatever I say? Because of Quileute voodoo?" Seth makes a face of absolute horror, like he figured out he finally explained the whole imprint thing wrong.

"Oh… I, that's not the point I was trying to get at but- but I guess," he murmurs, looking like his head was about to explode from the simple minded explanation of imprinting. Nodding once I stand up and brush my legs off.

"Well, if you excuse me young Seth. I've got a boyfriend to talk to, and a chew toy to buy."
