A thousand apologies for the last chapter. My brain has been all over the place. This one is much better...or at least I think so.

-Blaine POV One day left.

"I don't care Blaine, I said no!" Emmett yelled. Blaine rolled his eyes and sighed. Emmett wasn't being reasonable.

Emmett, Blaine, and his parents were seated at the dining room table. Constantine had just finished explaining the spell that would break Jacob's imprint. The Transference of Venus spell wouldn't work, so his father had found another one. However, the spell required Jacob and Blaine to be alone and...some other things, something that Emmett was not going to budge on.

"He's still in bed Em, he wouldn't be able to do anything." Servillia said.

Constantine added, "And we'd be as close as the spell permitted. With your speed there would be nothing that could happen."

Emmett shook his head, "There's a lot of things that could happen. Even if I ignored the fact that they would be alone together, there's still the fact that Jacob would have to agree, and that after it's over we'll have a Jacob who's not in love anymore. Jacob nearly killed Blaine when the imprint was active, without it who knows what he'll do? Oh, and let's not forget he'll still be human, let's just through that in there as well." Emmett was glaring at Constantine.

Blaine had to admit that he could deal with the first three conditions, the last one was something that was not easy to handle. Constantine's explanation made sense, but all the same Blaine would rather not have to go near Jacob again until he was a vampire. The way his father had explained it, Blaine had to remain human, because that's the way that Jacob had fallen in love with him.

"Emmett, I realize that you have some problems with the spell, but it's the only thing that will work short of killing him." Constantine said in a calm voice.

"Then why don't we kill him? He tried doing it to himself, what the fuck is stopping us from just finishing the job?" Emmett asked. Blaine winced at this and felt his face go red when all eyes in the room turned to him. They all seemed to agree with Emmett's plan.

"Jacob is a victim of the imprint. I know it makes me seem weak or stupid, but I can't help it. I feel bad for him. There had to be angry wolf in there to begin with, but it was released because of the imprint. I...I can't bring myself to kill him."

Immediately, Emmett's face softened and he blurred to Blaine side and knelt beside him. He reached out his hand and took Blaine's.

"Babe, I'm not trying to force you into anything. If you really want to do the spell, I won't stand in your way. I don't like it though, I can't bear the thought of him harming you again." Emmett said softly. He was looking at Blaine as though they were the only two people in the room.

The vampire sighed and spoke again, "If you want to do this, I'll call Sam and make the arrangements." He didn't add anything, he didn't make a compromise. Even his face looked sincere, but Blaine knew better. Blaine knew that if Emmett would speak his mind he would still object.

For a moment, Blaine thought of refusing to do the spell. They could make other arrangements. Jacob seemed to be...different. Blaine was unsure if it was ruse or not, but deep inside he truly believed that the wolf was no longer a threat. If Blaine and Emmett decided to run away again, he might try to kill himself, but he would not pursue.

There were two problems with this though, The first was, if Jacob changed his mind later they would be right back in the line of fire. Blaine had promised Esme that he would take Emmett away from Forks. The second problem was that leaving Jacob to wallow in his pain and attempt another suicide was as bad as killing him outright, maybe even worse.

The spell had to be done. It was truly the only way that everything could return to the way it was supposed to be. Still, Blaine had never wanted to reverse time more in his life. He wanted to go back and speak sense to his parents, alter his path somehow so that it never collided with Jacob. He could go and find Emmett on his own. Time travel was dangerous though, dangerous enough that spending an hour with Jacob was a better solution.

Blaine didn't need to say anything, he could see the resolve in his mate's face.

"Are we sure that it will work? I mean no offense babe, but you're new. Playing with people's emotions seems like a big deal." Emmett said. Blaine couldn't help but feel a little hurt that Emmett didn't have more faith in him. To be fair though, he was still an amateur and Emmett had never seen him in action.

"Ritualistic spells are easy, Blaine will be fine. As long as you can contain your protective instincts for the duration. I know it's hard, but he has to be alone." Servillia said smiling at her son. Blaine felt Emmett's hand twitch, he knew that Emmett willingly removing himself from Blaine while the latter was in a dangerous situation was going to be almost painful. Especially after the last time that Emmett had left him alone with Jacob without monitoring the situation.

"I'll try to contain myself, if I have to...I'll leave. What's the time frame that we're looking at?" Emmett said, his face still stoic.

"We'll have to go for around six the morning of your birthday, Venus should be in the sky when love spells are performed. It would be better to wait until later in the year-"

"I'm not going to wait any longer. I want to be with Em." Blaine interrupted, He knew all the magical correspondences, but they were just accessories, he was not going to put this one hold any more.

-Sam POV

Sam hung up the phone with scowl. He really didn't like this plan. Not because of any danger to Jacob, but because of the risk to Blaine. Blaine had requested that Sam tell Jacob of the plan. He preferred it that way, he didn't want Blaine to have any more contact with the alpha than was necessary.

Seth and Paul were watching over Jacob now and their shift wasn't over for several hours, but Sam decided that was as good a time as any.

"Pack duties to attend to?" Emily asked opening her eyes. Sam had been reading a book in bed when Blaine's call had arrived, Emily had been asleep, but had apparently woken up at some point in the conversation.

Sam sighed, "Yes, I have to go and talk to Jacob about something. I'm not to happy about, but if it will keep Blaine safe then it doesn't matter."

"You have a watch today don't you? Will you be home late?" Emily had no anger in her voice, simply curiosity. Sam would have to take her on a vacation when everything was settled. She had been very understanding and supporting throughout this whole thing. Regardless, Sam would love her either way, but it was a lot easier when your one true mate understood the reasons behind your actions. Sam loved Emily and hated to leave her, but he got dressed while he responded to her question.

"I wont be home until after my normal shift, then I'm all yours. You should get some sleep, we could...have the rest of the night to ourselves when I get back." Sam tried to sound seductive when he said this. He was too worried about Blaine to be focused on sex though.

"Go make him safe babe. I'll be here when you get back." Emily said quietly, laying back down.

Sam left a little reluctantly, Blaine needed to be looked after, but that vacation was seeming more and more like a good idea. When Sam arrived at Jacob's house he let himself in. There was a giggling sound coming from Jacob's room and it didn't take a genius to figure out who was making it. Jacob had been in a deep depression for days now, which meant that Seth and Paul were ignoring their duties.

He walked in, prepared to yell at the pair but stopped himself when he saw that Jacob was sleeping. Instead Sam contented himself by walking up to them with a glare on his face. Seth was sitting Paul's lap and was nibbling his mate's ear. Both of them were shirtless and the tents in their shorts were obviously in need of attention.

"What the fuck are you two doing? You're supposed to be watching Jacob." Sam hissed quietly.

Both men jumped at Sam's voice and Seth nearly fell out of his mate's lap. Seth looked ashamed, but Paul just rolled his eyes.

"Watch him sleep? Is he going to snore himself to death?" Paul spat.

Sam was really getting sick of Paul's attitude. He didn't know where it came from and he really didn't care. The wolf was too low in the ranks to talk back the way he did. Maybe he could get Blaine to tweak his personality as a favor.

"You two didn't even see me come in, Jacob could've torn his stitches open and you wouldn't have seen a thing." Sam whispered before walking over to Jacob to make sure he had not done that very thing. "Besides, it's irrelevant, I'm here to relieve you, go home and...do whatever."

Paul grinned at the idea, his eyes were full of lust for his mate, but surprisingly, Seth's face fell.

"It's not the end of our shift yet. I don't mind staying if-" Seth started. He was shut up by a glare from Paul.

"What? Time alone with your mate too much to bear?" Paul said, his voice seething. It was more than just a feeling of rejection, there was jealousy there. Sam was curious, why would Paul be jealous of Jacob?

"Paul I-" Seth tried to apologize in a meek voice, but Paul cut him off again.

"Just shut up Seth, let's go." Paul took Seth's hand and walked out of the room. Seth gave one last sad look behind him before he turned the corner. A moment later, Sam heard the door slam.

"What was that about?" Jacob asked, almost making Sam jump.

Sam turned around, Jacob was rubbing his eyes. He sat up with a grunt of pain and looked inquisitively at Sam.

"Nothing much, just a lover's quarrel." Sam said. He didn't want Jacob to worry about the pack, that would just make him want to go out and fix everything himself. Something that he simply could not do. Inside though, Sam was worried. Paul had never been abusive before, and while this latest incident didn't qualify either, it was still troubling. Paul had been more prone to anger lately. As soon as he was finished here, he was going to go have a talk with Paul and find out what was going on.

Jacob looked at the clock on his table. "You're here to baby me early Sam. I hope Emily isn't guessing about us." Jacob's face curled into his version of a grin at his joke, for Jacob that meant that his lip twitched a little. Sam didn't smile back.

"Actually I came early because I got a call from Blaine." the millisecond that the words were out of his mouth, Jacob started talking.

"Blaine? Is he okay? Is he hurt? Is he coming back?" His face looked hopeful. Sam knew that it was just the joy that Jacob would receive from seeing Blaine. Just because he had given up on a relationship with Blaine, didn't mean that he wasn't still interested in every aspect of the human.

Sam sighed, he sat down in the chair next to Jacob's bed and started to explain what was going to happen at six a.m. the following day.

Okay I put in a hint for something that will make Jacob's situation better.
