(Another weekly update o) Ah, yeah. I'm sorry for the kind of uneventful last chapter about Collin and Brady. But I just kind of wanted to introduce them to Lakota and such before I got into the whole Cullen thing. Trust me, it kills me to write about the vampires, but, in Eclipse, it must be done.

Another note… I've been reading through my planned and Upcoming stories… and they seem really fun to write *self-control wavering* and I promised myself I wouldn't post new stories unless other one's are finished and done with *bites lip* b-but… I wrote the first chapters for two new stories and I can't wait to just post them… *breaks down crying*

*static* Warning: Two new stories, coming up.

Now. Lakota and Jacob time!

Review?

**Jelly-Bean-Jr.

Lakota's point of view:

"You promised." That took me through a big loop. I snap my head over to stare at Jacob, my mouth propped open before I shook my head sadly, realizing that, yes, I did sort of promise. But Jacob didn't have to know that I remembered.

"You need to get your head checked," he's quiet for a moment before sighing, reaching forward to tuck a piece of hair behind my ear. And, as ashamed as I am to admit this, the boy had me considering. Horrible, I know. But, logically, it's probably best that I'm around Jacob whenever he's within a mile radius of Bella. That way I can keep a veeeery close eye on the girl. I cross my arms and lean against his chest, humming a bit in thought. Perhaps going to Bella's graduation wasn't that bad?

"What are you thinking?" he murmurs quietly, and I tilt my head back up to smile at him innocently.

"You know exactly what I'm thinking," he snorts at that, but I could tell he was smiling on the inside when he taps the tip of my nose.

"Thank you, Kota."

"You are very welcome…" I pause a second, then turn around fully to grin at him widely, "and thank you, Mr. Boyfriend." Maybe I did sound too suspicious when I said that; but it's not like it was all that bad. Fairly innocent, actually.

"Err.. for what?" Tsk.

"For the wonderful date you're going to take me out on afterwards," I answer simply. Letting his slow processing brain catch up with this he slowly starts to grin, and the next thing I know I'm mushed up against his warm chest.

"I can't wait," he whispers quietly into my ear, and I close my eyes, hugging him back while my tummy started up with the random flutters.

"Yeah, yeah. Don't act like a girl; that's my job."

"If you did your job right then I wouldn't have to," he shoots back easily, and I smirk into his neck. What a lady skirt.

"Trust me, you'll think I'm a princess when you take me out. I'll let Rachel dress me up and everything." Which is saying a lot. Not only had I never dressed up for anything a day in my life, but I'm probably going to look so good, that Jacob's eyes just might pop out of his head. And that's not even the worst of it. I'm going to have to go to Bella's graduation all dressed up because, hey, that's the occasion and everything – and I'd hate for it to seem like I'm making an effort.

Let's just say I'm going to be like Cinderella. Just Cinderella with a very big ego. And the ball is filled with teenagers from Forks, Bella's boyfriend and his family, and, of course, a few shapeshifters.

Kind of like Cinderella.

Jacob stares at me for a long time before he frowns, looking deep in thought.

"I've told you about the Cullen's, right?" What?

"No."

"I- I haven't?" I roll my eyes, and shake my head again.

"Don't think so."

"You know about Edward though… Bella's.. boyfriend?" he says the last word a bit angrily, his eyebrows furrowing and his fists clenching. I frown at that, glancing up at him with a raised eyebrow.

"The pale guy?" I try to lighten the mood a bit, or at least waver Jacob's anger… maybe even jealousy. But I won't try to bring that up. Best to keep Jacob happy in the time I spend with him. Selfless… yes, and totally out of character; but even I, Lakota Dyani Jones, can be a sap sometimes.

Jacob grins slightly, kissing the top of my head like an overly affectionate puppy …err, ahem. Overly affectionate wolf, I guess.

"Yes, that one," he clears his throat, pulling me away at arm's length and giving me a firm look, "him and his family are the Cullen's; our enemies," I blink, thinking hard.

"Are they cat people or something?" he huffs unhappily, rubbing his forehead.

"No, well, yeah, probably. But that's not why," he murmurs quietly, looking thoughtful. Watching him be thoughtful and all I glance over at the window, shaking my head sadly when I saw Seth skipping towards the front door with his hands in his pockets.

And here I was expecting him to have a limp. To say that he got away damage-free would be a total lie. The second Jacob realized that I was under Brady's and Collin's supervision Seth had this strange traumatized look in his eyes when they found me and the runts. I had to listen to the poor boy apologize for 20 minutes straight before Jacob deemed the sincerity acceptable and dismissed him.

And yet, here he is, interrupting Jacob and Lakota time as he casually strolls into the house on an oblivious Jacob that was still thoughtful as ever, and a more than expecting Lakota.

"Hi Seth!" I chirp with matching excitement to Seth's own. Seth grins back at me, ignoring the evil glare sent his way by, wait for it… Jacob Black. All in all, Jake could be scary when he wanted to be.

"Hey Kota! Did Jacob tell you about the Cullen's being vampires yet?"

I'm pretty sure if Seth had an imaginary friend; I would hear him breathing with how quiet it just got.

I purse my lips glancing between the ever growing glare from Jacob, and from the forever naïve grin from Seth.

"So, vampires, huh?" I try, smiling encouragingly at Jacob so he'd have some mercy on poor Seth. Jacob, however, stands up and stalks over to Seth, crossing his arms angrily as his frame shook in anger.

"Don't you ever think before you talk?" he snaps, and Seth reels back in shock, blinking with new found guilt. Offering a sheepish smile he bows his head and shuffles his feet.

"You didn't tell her yet… did you?" he whispers quietly, and I bite my lip in the background to hold back the snickers. Poor, poor Seth…

"I was getting around to it, yes."

"So I… kind of ruined the speech?"

"Oh yeah."

"You… want me to take your next patrol?"

"Next four patrols," Jacob hisses. Seth pouts a bit more and glances over at me.

"Sorry Lakota…" he grumbles, turning around on his heel and sluggishly leaving the house. No longer skipping, I may add.

"Gotta give him some credit. He doesn't beat around the bush," I grin happily, leaning back comfortably on the couch. Jacob runs a hand down his face, but chuckles slightly and plops his beefy body down beside me, throwing an arm over my shoulder.

"I guess. But I'd prefer to be the one to tell you everything. About the Cullen's, us shape shifting, imprinting, the treaty, the-"

"What's imprinting?" I butt in quickly, nearly clapping out of excitement for finally having imprinting being brought up. His eyes widen momentarily before he hastily looks away.

"It's nothing…" he flinches, "I mean, it's something, but… I'll tell you later, okay?" he asks hurriedly. I scowl and resist the urge to pout. I could just order him to tell me, but I have a feeling that'd be a little unfair.

"Alright," jesum, I'm a softy, "why don't you tell me more about these vampires." I could practically smell the annoyance coming off Jacob at the mention of vampires. Except I wasn't really sure if it had something to do with vampires in general, or just that Edward guy. Who, I guess, is now a vampire.

Who would've thought.

Or cared.

"They have special powers," he practically sneers, and, I swear, I couldn't help the stupid giggles that came out of my mouth. Super powers?

"Okay, now you're messing with me."

"Am not!"

"Are too!" I scowl, crossing my arms.

"I thought you wanted to know about the vampires?"

"I do. But they don't have super powers, and you know it."

"I didn't say super powers!"

"Yes you did!"

"I said special powers!" I snort, giving his forehead an aggressive poke.

"Same thing!"

"Is not!"

"Is too!" Jacob groans loudly, sinking in his seat, but his face was all too obviously showing a subtle smirk.

"Our arguments go nowhere," he snickers, gazing up at me from his slouched position. I smile down at him and shrug, pretending to be interested in something else…

Even though Jacob did look particularly good today…

"I don't know about that, I'm pretty sure I win 98% of the time, plus 2% interest."

"That doesn't even make sense."

"Yes it does."

"No it- okay, whatever. You win." Well that wasn't fun. He gave up too quickly.

"Told you I win all the time," I boast, just to poke at his buttons a little bit more. Rolling his eyes instead he leans up and gives me a kiss. One of which made me feel suspiciously light headed afterwards. Unfair advantage. So; Lakota: 100 something, Jacob: 1.

"Do you want to learn about their stupid abilities or not? Because I don't think I'll feel comfortable when they're looking into your future, reading your mind and emotions at the same time without you knowing." Gross.

"Ewe," I mutter, looking down at my lap and promptly closing my mouth.

"Okay," he nods, looking far too smug, "Edward, Bella's… that leech is the one that picks at your mind. The small tiny one; I think you might've seen her once, can see into the future. And… the quiet blonde leech, I want you to stay far away from him. In fact, I want you to stay as far away from all of them."

I'm pretty sure this situation was like getting mixed signals.

"Yet you're still making me go because…?"

"We won't be there long."

"You're lying."

"Am not."

"Are too!"

"Am freaking not!"

"Are freaking too!"

"I just want to say something to Bella and we can leave!"

"Please, you're like a woman. What starts as a small comment turns into a quick chat, turns into a full blown debate over shoes!"

Jacob closes his mouth and settles for just rolling his eyes.

"I promise it won't take more than 5 minutes."

I give him an accusing glare.

Liar.
