Extras: Torn

Hey you guys! I know I haven't made an Extra in a while and surprisingly today I didn't have so much to do so I hope you enjoy! We don't own BB and it belongs to its rightful owners anything else belongs to NR13.

POV of Vanessa Cortez

I scream and flee crashing into James, I cling onto him with my nails digging into his shoulders as he and the other man lock eyes. I stare in horror as the man circles around us on the rocks.

"How lucky, I have the two people who I wanted here together... This shouldn't take long then," the man says as he looks like a mortal version of Sebastian. "I'll start with the introductions then," he sits down on a rock and chomps down on an apple he summoned out of the air, "I'm Elias Michealis, leader of the Rogue Magic Community and the Child of the Nephilim Prophecy." He says all casual, I shake a bit

"But Sebastian told me he didn't have any Nephilims..." I manage to speak as the shock sets in. He laughs and he's just as handsome as Sebastian it's creepy.

"Do you seriously believe everything that man tells you? I guess Sirens are just as stupid as they're beautiful. But I can give him credit for choosing a gorgeous woman as his new lover. Tell me Vanessa," he stands up and tries reaching out for me. James snarls as he throws me behind him, Elias hangs his mouth open and nods "So I see, another man falls victim to you," James' torso tenses up and he yells out

"Vanish!" And at that moment we disappear back into the Caster Mansion in his studio.

I try moving around but I look like a fish flopping on land. He's human again and carries me into a tub. He throws salt into the water, the water hisses as it reacts against my tail. He stays there with a tower out for me as my legs appear. I take it and dry off my arms and legs as well I'm in my undergarments.

"Thanks, I, I couldn't do anything." I confess as we sit down on the floor. He nods and puts his head against the wall

"It's fine, I get it. I can't believe that there's a Nephilim Caster," he closes his eyes and I put my head on his shoulder

"It's fine, so what's going to happen now?" I question as I lift off my head and we lock eyes. He shrugs

"I don't know, if I go into war with Elias, we have no idea what's he's capable of; do nothing and we will get attacked. It's just a matter of time," he hangs his head, "I'm sure that Natalia would have known what to do." I wrap my arms around his torso

"Don't say that, I'm sure too but right now you're our Head Caster and I'll be there to support you all the way, no matter what you do." He gives a small smile.

"I know, if Lucas was still alive-" I stare at him

"He's dead?" I choke out because I thought that he simply got away; I was knocked unconscious after I got sent into that rock from Sebastian's attack. And I woke up dazed when Sebastian and Claude brought me back. James glances down at me as he realizes what he did, he slowly nods

"Yes he's dead, your sister was the one that murdered him." I gasp and stand up with my hand covering my mouth. He stands up too, "Vanessa you didn't know?" I shake my head, he tries touching me when I take a step away.

"I can't believe she killed him..." I mumble as Lucas' face pops into my mind. I take a deep breath and press my fingers into my tear glands, "I'm fine, well should we call a Head Master emergency meeting?" He nods so we get ready.

I'm in his studio, I pull up my arm plates, press my chest armor plate against my chest, the door opens and it's James. "Ready?" He questions when I wave him over,

"Can you pull on the straps?" I pick up my hair, he pulls on the shoulder straps so that way it won't slip and fall all over the place. He stops for some measure of time, "James?" I glance back at him, before I know it his mouth's on mine. I trip a bit as his force makes me take a step back; his tongue slides into my mouth as he pulls on my hair. He sets me against his desk trying to do more when I manage to push him off. He doesn't look at me, well I don't either.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to," he apologize. I still don't say anything; it was just a kiss but why is it leaving me like this? I would have so easily dismissed this hut, how come not now?

"Why?" I ask out drawing myself to look up at him. He smirks a bit,

"I've always liked you since we were little at Caster School, I knew about your feelings towards Lucas so I never said anything," I bite down on my lip, I stand up

"We should get going, the other Head Casters are already there." we go downstairs, I sit next to Nathaniel and Hilda while James' at the head of the table telling everyone else what happened, I zone off as I can't help but remember everything about Lucas, James, and I when we were the best of friends.

Flashbacks

James, Lucas, and I are walking out together in the Caster Cannel after a long day of studying under each of our Houses we got chosen into; James' in the House of All, Lucas in the House of the Dead, and me in the House of Shiren. I walk in the middle between them when Lucas glances over at me,

"Hey Vanessa, heard that someone has this huge liking towards you." he pushes me as I grin,

"Whatever." I shake my head as my big bouncy ponytail bounces around my neck. We climb up on another building that's not a House so we can't get yelled at, we all sit down against the rooftop; the setting sun's light reaches into the Caster Cannel. I swing my feet as we're all joking and laughing at each other from our performances at the Cast Offs that we were forced to precipitate in earlier.

"You so know that I beat you James so stop lying! Vanessa was there!" Lucas points his sword over at James. I lean back to avoid the blade's edge, James smirks as he pushes the blade away.

"And that's why I'm in the House of All right? And while you're in House of the Dead?" James teases, that's why Lucas gets on his feet, and goes into a challenging stance,

"I want a rematch! Right here right now!" James reaches down at pulls out his sword,

"Let's dance then pretty boy!" They go at each other but it's more like a friendly type of spar, Lucas blocks James' attack and glances over at me,

"Come join the fun! Woah!" Lucas narrowly avoids James' slice at his hair, I stand up and join in. They toss their swords down at we all go into martial arts instead, we kick, punch, throw, and block each other around until we crash against the floor. We look up as we all pant, we laugh as we watch the sky slowly transform into the night sky.

I snap out of it as the meeting ends, I stand up when James comes over to me, he grabs my wrist making me to glance up at him, "Vanessa, please, I know you love that Demon but think of it this way," he grabs both of my hands and continues "I'm not asking you to marry me this instant but if you stay here with me in the Caster Cannel," he cups the side of my face with his hand, "I'll make sure no one ever hurts you ever again, and that's including the safety of your sister; if you stay with Sebastian, he puts in so much danger and Victoria's isn't in a better place than you either; please Vanessa consider it," he begs as he kisses my cheek and leaves me alone to my thoughts.

I climb over the table top, lay down flat against my back and stare up at the ceiling, why am I feeling like this? What if James' right? That me staying by Sebastian's side does puts me in danger along with Victoria? What did Elias mean by that another man falls victim to me? Sebastian will always be immortal while I'll eventually die, and when Ciel and Sebastian's contract is up, what do I and Victoria do? No, Victoria has a future, I don't, so what will I do? Even though I have money from the savings of the Cortez family but what then? With Sebastian, the future's so unclear, and that's not even to consider that vision from Wizard Media;

But if I choose a future with James, there's so many things that are certain with him,

Flashback

I'm crying in the corner to myself as I've been chosen to be the next King's Siren. I see someone stand in front of me, I glance up and expecting it to be an Elder, it's James. "Why are you crying Vanessa?" he asks, I try to come up with the words when the tears prevent me from talking, he gets me up and wraps his arms around me, I just sob into his shoulder, he rubs my back trying to make me feel better; he gets me to look at him, "Vanessa, whenever you're not sure about your future, I'm here for you and I'll be there, I promise that."

I blink then drag myself back to the Phantomhive Estate, I get myself ready for bed exhausted from everything that happened today. I open the door to my bedroom and find Sebastian in there,

"Oh Vanessa, I was starting to worry about you," he replies, anger boils inside of me as he acts all calm like while I'm here torn and with so much on the scales. That's when my body acts on its own, I grab him by his collar pulling him down as the words trail off of my tongue

"You have a Nephilim Sebastian! His name's Elias Michealis and leader of the Rogue Magic Community! He wants to kill me because of you Sebastian! Everyone's out to kill me because of you! How do I know that us is worth everything that's happening to me?! What if this was truly a forbidden passion that I was an idiot by doing the taboo?! Answer me!" I demand as my throat's raw, he stays quite but finally I see some emotions in those eyes of his, he pulls me against him as I sob into him, I can't help myself, I just don't know what to do anymore...
