Chapter 2: 7:00 AM, Mountains Above La Push: Seth and Jacob ran and ran, never pausing to stop. Seth wanted to run from all that was dear to him in La Push, and Jacob wanted to be there to protect him. Sam's voice inside his head told him that there were many people worried about both of them. But Jacob only wanted to be there with Seth for some reason. Seth kept running, keeping up a vigorous pace. Jacob mentally communicated for him to stop in the clearing up ahead, and Seth slowed and phased back into human form. Both Seth and Jacob had ripped their current clothes when Seth phased and Jacob followed after him. Seth grabbed some wood and began to pile it to make a fire.

It was quite beautiful up here in Jacob's point of view. The mountains gleamed a glowing white, and the evergreen pines around them very bright green. A blanket of snow covered everything, and thick clouds fogged up the mountains in the distance. Jacob could see all the way down to the sea, but from way out here, it was only a faint distant line.

Seth called him over to help him build the fire. 'You know, you really don't need the fire. You should still be warm with the current temperature.' Jacob softly said to Seth, in a way that wouldn't demetabolize his delicate current mental structure. Seth looked at him with a soft expression on his face, and then simply replied 'I just want a fire, that's all.' Jacob couldn't argue, so he set about finding some rocks to create a spark. He found some, and then bashed them together over the wood. The wood ignited, and a flame shot up, melting some nearby snow. As the flames shone bright light off his russet coloured skin, Jacob noticed how beautiful Seth was. He was of a lean build, and his bright brown eyes looked wise and powerful under his current expression. His black hair hung loosely, not styled in any particular manner. His abs tensed and flexed as he breathed in and out. His shaft hung loosely, not too large but not small either. His backside sat into the ground, melting snow under his heat. His legs were crossed, and his feet were still gangly and disproportionate due to the fact that he was still in his pubescent years.

Seth noticed his scrutiny and came over to Jacob. He sat next to him and leaned against his shoulder. Sensing no reaction to this, he put his head in Jacob's lap. 'You're so easy to get along with Jake. I always feel as though I can talk to you.' As Seth lay against Jacob, Jacob and Seth felt a glowing feeling in their hearts that spread throughout them. They felt like they had been filled with molten gold and now they glowed. Seth looked into Jacob's eyes and saw a golden light. Seth sat up and kissed him lightly on the lips. Jacob looked deeper into the eyes of Seth and pulled him closer. He kissed him more passionately and more violently until Seth and he were one, not two, and their intertwining hearts joining and twisting together in a harmony of love. The combined power of the imprintation was building and joining, as their combined hearts heated their bodies and filled their veins with adrenaline. The friction of their melding bodies began to heat the air, and the nearby snow began to melt. As the imprinting completed, Seth gazed lovingly into Jacob's eyes and kissed his lightly but lovingly. Jacob gazed lovingly back, and Seth lay in the snow with Jacob all through the day.
