Cory sipped his mocha latte as he sat at a cute little bistro on the corner of a small village in France, as he leaned back and scrolled through an E-book on his phone the figure of someone stopping in his peripheral vision caught his attention. 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdjLTGQgTV
“Hey”714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DUpfYpYLI
He glanced up meeting eyes with a taller man in a suit, hands his in his pockets. 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXi6ZlFezHw
“Remember me? Peru, 1821…”714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eJKSZu5PD
Cory shivered and stood, “oh my god, Riv”
714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurpCnKGIdu
London, England. September 1815
Cory ran fast, splashing puddles of water up against his trousers as his hair threatened to fall from his hair ribbon. “HEY! GET BACK HERE!” He clipped a corner and slid almost falling into a pile of trash, he huffed looking frantically for a place to hide before shaking his head and climbing past the garbage and muck. 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3TMDSWOqc
As he climbed a small ladder to the top of one of the buildings he watched the men run past the alley, he sighed a breath of relief. 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooruw0vDmz
“Cory, are you stealing again?” 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnJLIt9CX1
he glanced up to his mother standing there on the roof a basket of clothes in hand, Cory frowned and pulled himself up to join her. 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgrznPxY6a
“Sorry mama…” he apologized, she sighed and ruffled his dark hair. 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucP5MLQLmq
“I’ve some news” 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUAYm29UlU
He sat down and pulled off his boots, dumping water onto the stone roof below. 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmuPQDSSf2
“We’re moving” 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiElR4su4O
He froze and looked up at his mother who clipped up a small quilt. 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4qiYEa8NG
“Your father found a job in Peru…it’ll help us” 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiV07mcg09j
She looked to Cory who stared, baffled. “Why…”714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoCj7c29gS
She smiled gently, the slight sight of her canines just barely there.714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzE7lfYztQ
It was shocking how she still looked the same after so many years, and especially after giving birth to Cory. 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgUBVsRb9Y
Cory was basically a freak accident, or a miracle as his mother thought it. 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06Dbo6Ym4b
She was never able to give birth to babies…and one day she made a deal with a weird lady on the street. She promised fertility and prosperity. Only half of it was true, and there was of course a catch. 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXudu9Mr6s
Upon her having the ability to give birth, that child would have to live through many, many decades alone and immortal. 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSS30n2zfv
A Daylighter. 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHK14VczAHD
Cory closed his eyes to take a deep breath, His mother pulled him into a hug. 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18Rm3I1x5F
“I love you, Cory”
“Well…it’s not much- but it’ll do” 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vz1TQ6xwW
cory frowned at the small single room, a cot sat in the corner, a small kitchen to the left and a shit hole at the opposite of the building. 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpUoqZuzIU
“Where’s dad?” 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7VMiyyv4X
“He went to go to his interview” his mother said with a small smile as she pulled blankets out of her baggage and fluffed it out on the ground. 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vzgCLyDZ2
She waved for him to join her and he shook his head “this…mom. We’re not going to survive here!” Cory said raising his voice, Her eyes widened. 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbwWXDzBNA
“Do not yell at me young man. We moved so we could get better.” She snapped. 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9y19ksXPoN
“This…this is worse.” He sobbed and slammed open the rickety wooden door as he ran out the house. 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6eJhqosih3
“CORY” 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3D5uIUg00
and so he ran. He did what he was best at. Running away, hiding.
Cory shifted in the grass under the cold moon when a twig nearby snapped, his head shot up and he looked around. 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9Dhoq3Hz1
He wasn’t scared, he lost the ability to feel terror when he lived in London, always on the run, hiding from bad men. 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjUmd0XkOp
A small boy emerged from a bush a basket of fruit in hand, his eyes scanned the darkness before meeting Cory’s, something flickered. 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSH1807ZNUV
“Are you alright?” 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaClSRfsDBW
Cory frowned and nodded, the boy shared a similar frown…but one made of pity.714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1nk1vcu4R
“Here” 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHLV7UiCur
Cory eyed the pear in the boys hand as he handed it to him, Cory’s lips twitched as he held back a smile. Eventually he gave in. 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXMO6PKI4h
“Thank you” 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUQce6IYaJ
the boy nodded and gestured to the spot next to him, Cory nodded and the boy sat down. 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FVrMsMJmw
“I’m Riven…”714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAFQFw13bn
“Cory” He replied in between bites of the ripe pear. 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDP65G0AI1K
It was sweet and juicy…almost like something he’d never had before, which was true.714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrpG30hrlx
“How old are you?” 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQ4mMTbHs9
“13..”714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCh6n3U2Oer
Riven blinked and pulled his knees to his chest, “what about you?” Cory inquired. 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2LW7wDDRF
“10”
Moquegua, Peru. March, 1821.
Cory shoved Riven gently as they walked through the woods picking fruit from trees. 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFjYQgH6qS
“I think I’m gonna leave Peru” 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0YtwnMqSW
Riven gave him a look. 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBWwyMikU3
“What? How?” 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lQezPc6zs
Cory kicked a rock gently and took a bite of a pear. 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshyyfkXLUg
“There’s a train leaving tonight, I’m gonna get on through the baggage area” he said, Riven frowned.714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqbB6CNKh2
“You’re going to smuggle yourself out of Peru? Have fun with that.” 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnVZ3H1lJW
Cory stopped in his tracks and grabbed Riven’s arm. The basket fell. 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFETc0ftzCu
“Riv…I want you to go with me” 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNc4ghBdSw8
Riven stared in shock before pulling from Cory’s grasp and picking up the fruits. 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0V52A9hkP
“Cory, you know I can’t do that. My mother is on her deathbed, out of all people I’d expect you to know what that’s like. Not being able to leave your mother while a plague is eating her alive” he said his voice going soft. 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtB6qw7lGkp
Cory sighed.714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4QjXc3GjZ
“Then we can leave after it happens.”714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHopUluLpfG
Riven looked up at him in disgust “you act like she’ll die any day now? Is that what you want? The one woman who actually treated you right? You want her to die?” Riven snapped, Cory backed away as Riven stalked forwards. 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOsMCwRhaF
It was silent for a few moments and Cory stared at the ground, guilty. 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVJkXVwz7q
“You know what…leave. Go wherever the hell it is you want to go. But I’m not going. And when you leave I’m forgetting your entire existence even mattered.” 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnsZI1gq9P
Cory stared at him being taking a sharp breath and turning, Riven eyed him as Cory walked away disappearing amongst the bushes and trees. 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoVU0sFGcr
714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSlyBiN0gF
Cory dodged a train worker and threw his satchel into the small corridor full of baggage, as he looked for a bag to fit in his head snapped up to a small ‘pssst’.714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnwQnMNdmj
He looked around before spotting Riven “Cory” His eyes flickered with multiple emotions at once, fear, anger, anxiety.714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatT5sCMVEw
“Don’t do this, please. Mama needs you and me by her side…” 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdo8GbvWhfC
Cory frowned and shoved his foot into an empty bag that was almost his size, he’d have to curl into a ball to fit. 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdg4XoUTxb
“No, she needs peace and quiet.” He snapped, the train whistled and Riven’s eyes widened. 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBt5p3oCZzU
“No, Cory please!” 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhQ0a4ZTQX
“Hey! THEIF” 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxcdiOEh4l
“Either join me, or run.” Cory spat, Riven hesitated but shook his head with a small scoff and ran. 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ak1CNWVrc
Cory shoved himself into the bag as the police men chased him, he was getting out of here. 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdI8NIiVRJ
714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWq8VgaR3v
Manhattan, New York. August, 1824
“Cory! Look!” 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNnAQYw5VX
Cory glanced up from the bar where he was cleaning a glass that was once filled with whiskey, a girl his age ran towards him tips in hand. 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQMEO3QVtP
“This is more then yesterday!” She cheered, he raised an eyebrow. 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgjU98Q867
“No way!” He chuckled, she grinned and kissed him gently over the counter. 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsj9S98Rq8
“C’mon let’s close up and go upstairs, I have a surprise for you” she said, he smiled and nodded as he set the clean glass aside. 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqh49t29N9m
She flipped the sign on the door and locked it, Cory smiled as she dragged him up the stairs towards their apartment. 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPaoD8dZS9
“What could you possibly have to show me?” He asked, she glanced back at him with a huge smile. Her corset made her waist slim and the pale yellow skirt pooled around her legs gentle and flowy.714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTWaOdi9SG
When they entered the room, she spun “happy birthday!” She cheered, three people looked towards him with wide grins. 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWziT1onLY
Cory broke into a smile. 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmhzSFY15l
“I love you so much” he said picking her up in a hug and kissing her gently, she giggled and pushed away from him so he could greet his friends. 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qOEOenhvH
24 years… he’d been through so much through those years. 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDJsRnj5QC
He cried and grieved, he stole, he lied, he moved, he made friends, he left friends, he fell in love…hard in love…714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNIhSvcZj0
As His lover handed him a delicately package box he spotted the gold band on her finger, he smiled gently at it. “How did you…?” He trailed off and she smiled. 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaecm33K1I
“We all pitched in, we hope you like it” 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXemZRTKYI
He tore the paper and Gasped, inside a small rectangular box sat a broach on a sliver chain. 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjOwn04N0S
It was a small rose set into Amber with a silver lace patterned trim, his mother had something similar…714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FoPyoaXrh
“Where did you get this?”714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7iUyXYqwg
his lover smiled “someone came to town not to long ago looking to sell it for some money…you said your mother had something similar so we wanted to get you something that made you feel closer to her” She said gently clasping it around his neck. 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1HUH1GLHY
He stared at her, his eyes fluttering in a daze before he smiled gently. 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlWuh3ghIC
“Thank you…guys, this is…this is amazing”
714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8zpQ2QDms
Aisha sniffled as her breath quivered and she gripped Cory’s hand tightly. 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9uqo5LBYs
“I love you so much” 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSynmXjsix
Cory held back tears, “I love you more…”

Tahiti. Summer, 1850
Cory sipped the liquid from the coconut gently before tossing it aside and joining the people who danced on the shore of the beach, the water glistening a bright blue against the burning sun. 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uRIR11yCs
He chuckled and let them place necklaces of flowers around his neck and pull him dances as people played unknown instruments, this was the life he wanted. Something full of joy, and adventure. 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHhx9o08Yf
He was starting to think that the curse that had been placed on him was a miracle, he could do anything he wanted.714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNi0Eu8j70
Go anywhere he wanted, see what happens in the future. 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANckDWzytq

California, America. October, 1980. 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LxKxZJIsB
714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvRTS5QOFo
Cory shoved into his friend the chains on his leather jacket dangling against the zipper as his small group made their way under a graffitied bridge. As far as they knew he was still 20, when he was really much older but he enjoyed the game…the manipulation, the secrets. 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡll1H7bbiWS
“So, Cory. What do you plan on doing with your music?” A short haired punk girl questioned lighting a cigarette, Cory smirked and leaned against the stone bridge. 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjfPJS8bFt
“I don’t know, might put out some Ep’s might not…in a place like this anything could happen.” He said, Tristan, a tall blonde bassist punched him gently in the shoulder a joint dangling from his lips. 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHmkK32Kbg
“Right, Cory the ever aspiring grandpa” he joked, Cory rolled his eyes. 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxAR4GE1w0
“Who you calling Grandpa, last I checked I was paying you” he teased, Tristan laughed and ruffled Cory’s hair. 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfctIJDSVx
“Good point, I don’t plan on losing that pay anytime soon” 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uwx7Vpk8f
“yeah right, I’m shocked you haven’t gotten fired yet. You and your anger issues” Fifi a tall mixed girl with dreads said as she skipped a rock. 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQojn86kgN
Tristan rolled his eyes. 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHUSQsQ003
“I’m getting better” 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAV5GtAi2jr
“Say that to Greg, poor thing got his jaw busted cus’a’you” Dean groaned, Tristan sighed and Cory smirked. 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyYEqmiPzW
“Now, now let’s not start any fights. We’re here to have fun, remember?” 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcvcIqrj54
They all looked at him and grinned.
“Hey there everyone, we’re the Polarized Witches…thank you for coming” Cory said into the mic, everyone cheered and he chuckled. 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHimag2pRm
Guitar strings were strummed, followed by the bass and drums. 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54oCgn8rmh
Cory sang low and quiet as the first few notes were slow and thoughtful. 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bPxbpeZWg
When the beat dropped Cory spun away from the mic as he hit the chords of his electric guitar bringing cheers and screams from the audience.
Cory laughed as him and his band mates ran to the limo past millions of fans, people cheered and reached for them as they got in. Guards shut the doors and they drove off. 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvpqQ1Kwdi
“That was fucking amazing!” 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2FUoU0kvo
Cory laughed “Hell yeah it was!”
Paris, France. December, 2010
Cory sat silently at a small cafe on the corner of a street in Paris, he sipped his mocha latte as he scrolled through his phone remembering all the good, bad and fun times he had. 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡie0ZcR8i74
He could never ask for a better life, he knew this was what everyone wanted…but he was starting to get tired of it. 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClGCPjCbQv
He’d been around since 1802 for fucks sake…714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUnxHLDqMm
“hey” 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopBOwZSzEV
he glanced up, meeting a tall man’s eyes. 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94OxLv9qHn
“Remember me? Peru, 1821?” 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQTGLwdxKt
Cory shivered and stood, “oh my god…Riv” 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWo0tkvTJG
Riv smiled “been a while, wanna talk?” Cory grinned. 714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2coy9k7bh
“Why not.”714Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQeyP94QjEE
now he knew…he wasn’t alone anymore, of all the people he met he never knew the one he missed the most would be just as ancient as him…
