Alright, I made this a long one.
-Blaine POV Six Hours Left.
Blaine had always thought that when he got his powers back it would a grand thing with a light show, maybe some glowing or levitating, however when he woke up at five minutes past midnight on his birthday, he really didn't feel any different. The one thing of note was this pulsing within his body, as though he were sitting in a massage chair.
He thought for a moment that maybe the spell had not broken properly. However, he held out his hand and said, "Ignis." Immediately, a small flicker of flame appeared in his hand. He almost lost his breath. It had worked. Blaine had gone to bed as a mortal and awoken this morning a witch. He closed his palm around the flame, extinguishing it.
He looked up excitedly, happy to show Emmett what he could do, when he noticed for the first time, that he was alone. Blaine had pretty good guess what was going on, but at the same time he was afraid. What if Jacob had attacked or something? It was a moment before he realized that he had nothing to be afraid of. In fact he wished someone would attack, he would finally be able to fight back.
Crawling out of bed Blaine crossed the room barefoot and headed out the door. When he reached the top of the stairs, he thought he heard a giggle from the dining room and it was then that he knew for sure what was going on.
Sure enough when he entered the room it exploded. Everybody yelled, "Surprise!" making Blaine jump. He may have been expecting it, but the sound was deafening, especially considering it was almost one in the morning. He was completely taken back by the decorations. Someone had put out bowls filled with water and topped with rose petals, the bowls also included floating candles. There were streamers and a big banner saying 'Happy 21st.'
Servillia or Constantine, Blaine wasn't sure which had made a few glowing orbs appear in midair. The drifted lazily around the room occasionally bumping into a people without any harm being done.
Everyone important to Blaine was there, his mother and father, Edward, Bella, Alice, Jasper, Carlisle, Esme, even Emily, Sam, and Rosalie had come. However, standing out among them were the amber eyes of Emmett. He was wearing a tuxedo, which somehow made him even sexier than usual. Everyone was dressed in formal wear, but somehow everyone else looked casual in Emmett's presence. Though, of course Blaine was a little biased.
Emmett sped over to Blaine's side and pulled him in for a kiss.
"Happy birthday baby. Sorry I left you, but I wanted to make sure everything was ready."
Blaine really didn't need a party, he loved both of his families, and all he had ever really asked for was to date Emmett without hindrance. However, he thought that bashing his party while he was at it would be rude. Instead he smiled as he kissed Emmett back.
"Thank you, I hope you guys didn't go to too much trouble." Blaine said as Emmett pulled back from the kiss.
Alice rolled her eyes, "Not enough trouble." She said under her breath.
Edward laughed, "Alice wanted to deck out your birthday gift from Emmett, but we decided that since you'd need to be back here by six that it wouldn't be a good idea."
That's right. In six hours, Blaine would be alone with Jacob. He had almost forgotten. However, he was determined not to let that get to him. He was going to enjoy his party, and worry about what was going to happen later, later.
"Present time babe, let's not worry about later today?" Emmett whispered in his ear. He must have noticed the slight worried look in Blaine's eyes. At these words though he got a confused look on his face.
"The yacht was supposed to be my gift Em, and the Eclipse from your parents." Blaine said. He really didn't want anymore gifts, unless his parents could find a way to break the imprint with Jacob.
Emmett shrugged, he didn't even apologize he just pulled on a grin and kissed Blaine's cheek. "Well, since I couldn't very well hand you a yacht at midnight on the "day of danger" I needed to have something here. I couldn't very well have shown up empty handed could I?"
Blaine gave his a glare that said very clearly, 'yes, you could have.' However, he didn't give Emmett any trouble, he would save that for the honeymoon, he wasn't going to let anything get him down this morning.
Excluding Emmett, the gifts had been bought in pairs. Edward and Bella had got him an mp3 player with a matching attachment that would go in his car. For some reason, Emmett and Bella shared a special look. Blaine had no idea what it meant but he was thankful anyway.
Rosalie, Sam, and Emily gave him a silver necklace with a trio of charms on it. Blaine had to look closely, but they were a heart, a wolf, and a fang. Blaine felt his throat tighten a little.
"The wolf is for me, I hope that it doesn't bring bad memories kid. The heart is for Emily...you know why, and the fang I think is obvious." Sam said in Blaine's ear. He was trying to keep his voice out of earshot of his parents.
"Thank you." Blaine said in a thick voice. It was such a sweet gift. He tied it on and swore to himself that he would never take it off.
Up next, Esme and Carlisle gave Blaine a laptop. They claimed it wasn't much, but Blaine was smarter than that. He knew enough to know that sixty-four gigabyte RAM drives were not standard. They must have spent a lot. He thanked them and looked forward to trying out his computer interface spell on it.
His mother and father gave him a large footlocker. For a moment, Blaine laughed, "Sending me to military school?"
"Not at all son, open it." Servillia said smiling. Blaine did as he was told and let out a gasp. Some sort of spell had been placed on the chest making it bigger than the outside would let one believe. The chest contained a brightly lit room. There was a ladder from the edge of the chest leading down. Blaine crawled inside with his mother following.
Now, Blaine had always loved Rome...or at least Ancient Rome, when the city was worth loving. The room within the chest was amazing, it was a recreation of an atrium within a Roman villa. There was a compluvium; and opening in the roof for rainwater and below it a matching impluvium to catch it. At the moment though, the sun was shining and there were fish swimming in the the water there. The room itself was set in the peristyle form with columns surrounding the impluvium. Each column was surround by ivy. There were a few wicker chairs laying around and some birdcages, each with it's own bird that was chirping happily in the sun.
"Your mother wanted to give you Rome itself, but I decided this was less conspicuous." Constantine said as he joined Servillia and Emmett down the ladder.
"I-I love it." Blaine said stuttering a little. It wasn't everyday that you received your own atrium.
"Thank you guys." He said turning to give his parents a hug.
"It's not much, even without giving you the city, I wanted to put an entire villa in here, but there wasn't time. The good news it that it's simply an expanding spell, so we're still technically inside the foot locker." Servillia said shrugging.
Blaine shook his head, "No mom, it's amazing. Thank you." Servillia smiled a little.
Blaine turned to Emmett who was sparkling in the artificial sunlight. "Do you like it?" He asked.
The vampire grinned and nodded. "It's nice to be in the sun without worrying about humans seeing me."
Constantine explained as they climbed back up the ladder that wherever the locker went the atrium would follow. Blaine could have a little piece of Rome wherever he went.
When they emerged form the locker, Alice was hopping up and down. "Our turn!" She sang happily. She held out her hand to Jasper who smiled as he handed her a black plastic card. Alice thrust the card into Blaine's hand.
"Thanks guys...what is it?" Blaine asked looking at it. There was a silver strip running along one edge like a credit card, but other than that there were no identifying marks.
"It's a gift card to a mall in Seattle. I want you to promise me that the moment your transformation is over, you're going to go and get some clothes."
Blaine looked down at himself, he was still wearing Emmett's clothes. His mother had mentioned that they were going to bring him some of his back, but he had refused. Personally, he liked wearing Emmett's clothes. It seemed that Alice thought this was no longer acceptable. Apparently he was going to have to change his habits.
He said his thanks to Alice and Jasper and sat down. He had never felt so loved in his life before. Surrounded by his friends and family. Even members of the reservation had come down to see him. As the party started breaking into smaller groups of conversation, Emmett sat down and Blaine got up to sit in his lap.
"Thanks for the party baby, it was really sweet to get everyone together like this."
"Oh it's not over yet, you still need to eat and Esme made food. Besides, I haven't given you my gift."
Blaine sighed, "Em, I told you didn't need anything. Add that to the fact that you gave me the yacht and you promised-"
Emmett cut him off, "No, I promised that I wouldn't give you a gift for turning. There was no limit on the number of birthday gifts I could give you. Besides, if I give you a yacht, you need a place to take it to."
-Jacob POV
If could have gathered the strength to pace, that's just what he would be doing right now. In less than thirty minutes he was expecting Blaine to walk through his door. By noon, he could very well be seeing Blaine for the last time. By the end of the day he could very well be dead. He didn't think that he would be able to survive Blaine leaving him.
Pacing would be easier. It would help occupy his thoughts. As it stood, he was sweating with anxiety at the coming moments. Jacob heard the front door open and the sounds of Paul and Seth heading in his direction.
"Hey bro, what are you doing alone? I thought you were supposed to be under watch and all that...shit, was it my turn to watch you?" Paul asked. As usual Seth didn't say anything, he caught Jacob's eyes and blushed though. Jacob didn't say anything in response to this, instead he chose to answer Paul's question.
"No, but Blaine is coming by today to do the spell. I promised Sam that I wouldn't make a decision on my life until after he's officially free from me."
Paul let out a growl. "Why you'd bother to kill yourself over the witch is beyond me." He said the word 'witch' like it was a cuss word. "You're the alpha to a pack of powerful werewolves. You led a fight against the Volturi and scared them away like rats. You are the descendant of Ephraim Black, you cannot allow a witch to control your emotions like this."
Jacob may have been in a depression, but he was still angry. "Then leave Seth. If emotions shouldn't taint decisions, then go. Leave Seth behind. If you can survive two weeks without your imprint I will concede your point and never speak Blaine's name again."
Just the suggestion made Paul recoil and wrap himself around Seth more tightly.
Jacob scoffed, "See. It's not not that easy when it's someone you care about is it? It's all well and good to act high and mighty, but if it's yourself that has to sacrifice, you won't do it will you?"
Paul opened his mouth to respond, but he was interrupted by Blaine's voice. At that point, even if Paul had responded, he wouldn't have listened. Somehow, after all this time Blaine still took his breath away.
"Jacob, we were supposed to be alone." Blaine said irritably. In response, Paul let out a snarl.
"We were just talking to him, you should learn more respect." He said with a growl.
In the past, Blaine might have dipped his head or apologized. This is exactly what Jacob was expecting. What he was wasn't expecting was for Blaine to hold out his hand and whisper, 'apage.' As he said the word, Paul was slammed into the wall.
Sam ran forward and placed a hand on Blaine's shoulder. He whispered in Blaine's ear something that Jacob couldn't hear, but Blaine's response of, "Then get him the fuck out of here," spoke enough.
Seth complied with what Blaine had said. He took Paul's arm and dragged him from the room. Paul was hurling cusses at Blaine, but the latter wasn't paying attention.
When they had left, Blaine didn't say anything for a moment. He stood there staring at Jacob as though he was looking through new eyes. It was the look of someone who had no fear.
"So...I take it you got your powers back?" Jacob finally asked. The look that Blaine was giving him, was actually a little frightening.
Blaine rolled his eyes. "Obviously Jacob. I didn't come to chat, you know what I'm here for. Can you get out of bed yet, or will we have to do it in here?" His tone was clipped and icy. There was nothing but in those words.
Jacob sighed, he knew that he would have a better chance of getting up, jumping through the window, and landing on the surface of Mars than of Blaine agreeing to what he was going to ask. However, he couldn't just let this happen without at least one last try. Suddenly, an idea came to mind. Something that Blaine had brought up weeks ago.
"Blaine, please. Before you do this, there was something you told me once. It was something called Texas-Cattle-Poker's Mirror, or something like that." Jacob was sure he was getting the name wrong, but Blaine knew what he was talking about.
"Tezcatlipoca's Mirror, and what about it? You want me to read your future before I go?" His tone was still cold, but now it was skeptical as well.
"No Blaine, of course not. I just...you told me that it can show futures though. I was wondering if...as a favor- even though I know I don't deserve one- but if you could show me...what could have been." Jacob knew that Blaine would never go back to him, but at least Jacob could leave with this.
"That isn't what I came for Jacob. I don't have time for you to live out your fantasies...However, I guess..." He let out a sigh and Jacob's face broke out in a smile.
"Thank you Blaine." Jacob said trying to sit up.
Blaine didn't respond, instead he pulled a backpack he had been carrying off and started pulling out supplies.
As a warning, the next chapter will be about what Blaine and Jacob see in this mirror. It will contain a few more fantastical chapter. Sort of a what-if scenario.
