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. 351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflWWBqjA5q
“Hey”351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNgGS2KWV6
He glanced up meeting eyes with a taller man in a suit, hands his in his pockets. 351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkL5sEjSLX
“Remember me? Peru, 1821…”351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hxOlduFD1
Cory shivered and stood, “oh my god, Riv”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ129B7AfrJk
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. 351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdeX5wT3wB8
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. 351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMx1bB2GrR
“Cory, are you stealing again?” 351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFOg6SIGTC
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. 351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBvvQ7QRkP
“Sorry mama…” he apologized, she sighed and ruffled his dark hair. 351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdacsTWENmL
“I’ve some news” 351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBE3j8VCyi
He sat down and pulled off his boots, dumping water onto the stone roof below. 351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtWKkB4MQc
“We’re moving” 351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2U7S7GJjI
He froze and looked up at his mother who clipped up a small quilt. 351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡConWdTubXs
“Your father found a job in Peru…it’ll help us” 351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mhdLxuDVy
She looked to Cory who stared, baffled. “Why…”351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuoMJ9yY92
She smiled gently, the slight sight of her canines just barely there.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CV85c8SG5
It was shocking how she still looked the same after so many years, and especially after giving birth to Cory. 351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjmRL2vH2t
Cory was basically a freak accident, or a miracle as his mother thought it. 351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzFJrV6XBf
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. 351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiWS7w5Exa
Upon her having the ability to give birth, that child would have to live through many, many decades alone and immortal. 351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhS1dEHN5u
A Daylighter. 351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXG0UxaOc2
Cory closed his eyes to take a deep breath, His mother pulled him into a hug. 351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATkPc4bqV2
“I love you, Cory”
“Well…it’s not much- but it’ll do” 351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5jHZpFcxc
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. 351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWGDkcb6UB
“Where’s dad?” 351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQybpKaxpHz
“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. 351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwQ0bh0aqb
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. 351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgrowlqUzR
“Do not yell at me young man. We moved so we could get better.” She snapped. 351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqpZUnM2yG
“This…this is worse.” He sobbed and slammed open the rickety wooden door as he ran out the house. 351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMadk06plFy
“CORY” 351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8gffJKQqH
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. 351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzry5ObwBZ
He wasn’t scared, he lost the ability to feel terror when he lived in London, always on the run, hiding from bad men. 351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMPKawUvWa
A small boy emerged from a bush a basket of fruit in hand, his eyes scanned the darkness before meeting Cory’s, something flickered. 351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhVzzwml8i
“Are you alright?” 351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlYyVHpDIP
Cory frowned and nodded, the boy shared a similar frown…but one made of pity.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mYYHJspoY
“Here” 351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogv2F0uQwO
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. 351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXirw7nZsj
“Thank you” 351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVS4rhWM9U
the boy nodded and gestured to the spot next to him, Cory nodded and the boy sat down. 351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosfEOGIP00
“I’m Riven…”351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ516uxgFcoM
“Cory” He replied in between bites of the ripe pear. 351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxeV7FoibP
It was sweet and juicy…almost like something he’d never had before, which was true.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuu03WnRdvA
“How old are you?” 351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVut1hner9l
“13..”351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWzDz7Z1sQ
Riven blinked and pulled his knees to his chest, “what about you?” Cory inquired. 351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJtbIxHkID
“10”
Moquegua, Peru. March, 1821.
Cory shoved Riven gently as they walked through the woods picking fruit from trees. 351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9Hm2bV83s
“I think I’m gonna leave Peru” 351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHN95k2VMz7
Riven gave him a look. 351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡze4UtVrkHf
“What? How?” 351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAGW9j4npA
Cory kicked a rock gently and took a bite of a pear. 351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9ucV8R6tn
“There’s a train leaving tonight, I’m gonna get on through the baggage area” he said, Riven frowned.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh57ltfJJdz
“You’re going to smuggle yourself out of Peru? Have fun with that.” 351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QD4yZYKP1
Cory stopped in his tracks and grabbed Riven’s arm. The basket fell. 351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcyNg9U3OG
“Riv…I want you to go with me” 351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLnfIjgbSl
Riven stared in shock before pulling from Cory’s grasp and picking up the fruits. 351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJh3lyZC0PL
“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. 351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpodYhSr7n
Cory sighed.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRAYPu0l4J
“Then we can leave after it happens.”351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv36azQSYtf
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. 351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVRLRMRynk
It was silent for a few moments and Cory stared at the ground, guilty. 351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQosKHGmKY1
“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.” 351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzFlUOVtNL
Cory stared at him being taking a sharp breath and turning, Riven eyed him as Cory walked away disappearing amongst the bushes and trees. 351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzqozo8Twf
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4k3bbX093e
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’.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWb2jw5gQDm
He looked around before spotting Riven “Cory” His eyes flickered with multiple emotions at once, fear, anger, anxiety.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AVng73a1D
“Don’t do this, please. Mama needs you and me by her side…” 351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCiWDTqGGRf
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. 351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LRqCIWaet
“No, she needs peace and quiet.” He snapped, the train whistled and Riven’s eyes widened. 351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ351JIRzY7
“No, Cory please!” 351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeVcxObXfp
“Hey! THEIF” 351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLaeOPDmxU
“Either join me, or run.” Cory spat, Riven hesitated but shook his head with a small scoff and ran. 351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIy9pHZvbNQ
Cory shoved himself into the bag as the police men chased him, he was getting out of here. 351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KwR4VKKcp
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xmAJV6cP8
Manhattan, New York. August, 1824
“Cory! Look!” 351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFO6gcTFGP
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. 351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXuRgnAWma
“This is more then yesterday!” She cheered, he raised an eyebrow. 351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDqkim7Eeg
“No way!” He chuckled, she grinned and kissed him gently over the counter. 351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUA8lg4WWF
“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. 351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwCBc1u8iq
She flipped the sign on the door and locked it, Cory smiled as she dragged him up the stairs towards their apartment. 351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkVzDYGOgP
“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.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yPMStyewf
When they entered the room, she spun “happy birthday!” She cheered, three people looked towards him with wide grins. 351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESmJSnrKRo
Cory broke into a smile. 351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0yej9hsCR
“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. 351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbVxKycQPC
24 years… he’d been through so much through those years. 351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOe3flJMNQ
He cried and grieved, he stole, he lied, he moved, he made friends, he left friends, he fell in love…hard in love…351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrPglb3eu0
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. 351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgA8dI95jao
“We all pitched in, we hope you like it” 351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtnLCCQ2Pv
He tore the paper and Gasped, inside a small rectangular box sat a broach on a sliver chain. 351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjVpZOOcsO
It was a small rose set into Amber with a silver lace patterned trim, his mother had something similar…351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1UzhgSjKi
“Where did you get this?”351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCisQCG1aGu
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. 351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUG4i5usR3B
He stared at her, his eyes fluttering in a daze before he smiled gently. 351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7Iq9RbkHh
“Thank you…guys, this is…this is amazing”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEbGaTO5cw
Aisha sniffled as her breath quivered and she gripped Cory’s hand tightly. 351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYE9H7C1c0
“I love you so much” 351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQiB3QbNAx
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. 351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwemExO40V
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. 351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSB0oXGlFG
He was starting to think that the curse that had been placed on him was a miracle, he could do anything he wanted.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AtQZJ6o9O
Go anywhere he wanted, see what happens in the future. 351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXCtd9lES9

California, America. October, 1980. 351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCaQ4haSts
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqugWDXYnA
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. 351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVU1vOVZHP
“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. 351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLYPwcMTfB
“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. 351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4JMMU0IbJ
“Right, Cory the ever aspiring grandpa” he joked, Cory rolled his eyes. 351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7TrNYytXB
“Who you calling Grandpa, last I checked I was paying you” he teased, Tristan laughed and ruffled Cory’s hair. 351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaChiyDqjF3
“Good point, I don’t plan on losing that pay anytime soon” 351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFPgrmnZbE
“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. 351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizdUqmAMX2
Tristan rolled his eyes. 351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlg2PPvDvx9
“I’m getting better” 351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmqMejEFoY
“Say that to Greg, poor thing got his jaw busted cus’a’you” Dean groaned, Tristan sighed and Cory smirked. 351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwjer66VlU
“Now, now let’s not start any fights. We’re here to have fun, remember?” 351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcf7hgLPLgl
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. 351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEy7MGkaus
Guitar strings were strummed, followed by the bass and drums. 351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKpL6iU48n
Cory sang low and quiet as the first few notes were slow and thoughtful. 351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRk8nu9YpIv
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. 351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUDb5XsDTW
“That was fucking amazing!” 351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cSkG2RvZ1
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. 351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLxTIaw2ex
He could never ask for a better life, he knew this was what everyone wanted…but he was starting to get tired of it. 351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqfK8RGPR0
He’d been around since 1802 for fucks sake…351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcYaEPhd2m
“hey” 351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUDuGgPvzE
he glanced up, meeting a tall man’s eyes. 351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7007Xj18s
“Remember me? Peru, 1821?” 351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLQVY21a99
Cory shivered and stood, “oh my god…Riv” 351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2nDmPGeXy
Riv smiled “been a while, wanna talk?” Cory grinned. 351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7hz7aoz9x
“Why not.”351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7sBrcXbMCX
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…
