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. 133Please respect copyright.PENANAMWjCLXP7bE
“Hey”133Please respect copyright.PENANA6kfXAHD0NL
He glanced up meeting eyes with a taller man in a suit, hands his in his pockets. 133Please respect copyright.PENANAQSUL6z4Mpk
“Remember me? Peru, 1821…”133Please respect copyright.PENANAAa6jzWvLgK
Cory shivered and stood, “oh my god, Riv”
133Please respect copyright.PENANAatDwC3CwKy
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. 133Please respect copyright.PENANAOQSnVh18VT
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. 133Please respect copyright.PENANAwqREmnSjtc
“Cory, are you stealing again?” 133Please respect copyright.PENANAsrpeJnDt4Y
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. 133Please respect copyright.PENANAT1Ztuc7F68
“Sorry mama…” he apologized, she sighed and ruffled his dark hair. 133Please respect copyright.PENANAI4rLOc3tJo
“I’ve some news” 133Please respect copyright.PENANA5Iuvmqvgdo
He sat down and pulled off his boots, dumping water onto the stone roof below. 133Please respect copyright.PENANAKErVcGFZy0
“We’re moving” 133Please respect copyright.PENANA8e4iNUqRHF
He froze and looked up at his mother who clipped up a small quilt. 133Please respect copyright.PENANAohJBw71z1o
“Your father found a job in Peru…it’ll help us” 133Please respect copyright.PENANAoBVspuk3we
She looked to Cory who stared, baffled. “Why…”133Please respect copyright.PENANA0Wl9T2LOmB
She smiled gently, the slight sight of her canines just barely there.133Please respect copyright.PENANA8Gs2aK04S6
It was shocking how she still looked the same after so many years, and especially after giving birth to Cory. 133Please respect copyright.PENANAZ2D7sc6Gpc
Cory was basically a freak accident, or a miracle as his mother thought it. 133Please respect copyright.PENANAvNxpP345dj
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. 133Please respect copyright.PENANAPvWShbpyF5
Upon her having the ability to give birth, that child would have to live through many, many decades alone and immortal. 133Please respect copyright.PENANA1Vo3KVsHp4
A Daylighter. 133Please respect copyright.PENANAObi9lqHcjh
Cory closed his eyes to take a deep breath, His mother pulled him into a hug. 133Please respect copyright.PENANA2HbyGv11lZ
“I love you, Cory”
“Well…it’s not much- but it’ll do” 133Please respect copyright.PENANAxNfkVplYfH
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. 133Please respect copyright.PENANAcqy6Fricmr
“Where’s dad?” 133Please respect copyright.PENANA8EpPy9ml45
“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. 133Please respect copyright.PENANAIqirYwNadC
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. 133Please respect copyright.PENANA70o8fFZIoC
“Do not yell at me young man. We moved so we could get better.” She snapped. 133Please respect copyright.PENANA0wAKHTZxd0
“This…this is worse.” He sobbed and slammed open the rickety wooden door as he ran out the house. 133Please respect copyright.PENANAIm9yuDBIWK
“CORY” 133Please respect copyright.PENANA0Eaaa5SDgx
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. 133Please respect copyright.PENANAT1Y7PmewKw
He wasn’t scared, he lost the ability to feel terror when he lived in London, always on the run, hiding from bad men. 133Please respect copyright.PENANA5Sq1Rl7JNI
A small boy emerged from a bush a basket of fruit in hand, his eyes scanned the darkness before meeting Cory’s, something flickered. 133Please respect copyright.PENANA6inOYM6pPh
“Are you alright?” 133Please respect copyright.PENANAKT9PoTFrsw
Cory frowned and nodded, the boy shared a similar frown…but one made of pity.133Please respect copyright.PENANA4tVygqianF
“Here” 133Please respect copyright.PENANATGANTXTKj8
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. 133Please respect copyright.PENANAGPtuhEoVXr
“Thank you” 133Please respect copyright.PENANANxpExBpN4B
the boy nodded and gestured to the spot next to him, Cory nodded and the boy sat down. 133Please respect copyright.PENANA5byi95bfWR
“I’m Riven…”133Please respect copyright.PENANAsPG4aGV5Df
“Cory” He replied in between bites of the ripe pear. 133Please respect copyright.PENANAPq2E2RsKzu
It was sweet and juicy…almost like something he’d never had before, which was true.133Please respect copyright.PENANAA90z7bUB6i
“How old are you?” 133Please respect copyright.PENANAHTSxA1btGM
“13..”133Please respect copyright.PENANAILzS3FRon2
Riven blinked and pulled his knees to his chest, “what about you?” Cory inquired. 133Please respect copyright.PENANA6dIKEBsTri
“10”
Moquegua, Peru. March, 1821.
Cory shoved Riven gently as they walked through the woods picking fruit from trees. 133Please respect copyright.PENANAjYEyTyRLDo
“I think I’m gonna leave Peru” 133Please respect copyright.PENANAPANpfG7QYf
Riven gave him a look. 133Please respect copyright.PENANAc3VKJn6CV1
“What? How?” 133Please respect copyright.PENANAzxTEoNamZi
Cory kicked a rock gently and took a bite of a pear. 133Please respect copyright.PENANAONGCapbJvn
“There’s a train leaving tonight, I’m gonna get on through the baggage area” he said, Riven frowned.133Please respect copyright.PENANAVwsH3GfEg9
“You’re going to smuggle yourself out of Peru? Have fun with that.” 133Please respect copyright.PENANA6ExhB9TyS4
Cory stopped in his tracks and grabbed Riven’s arm. The basket fell. 133Please respect copyright.PENANAsivV1e3Ub0
“Riv…I want you to go with me” 133Please respect copyright.PENANANnxx0pQFz3
Riven stared in shock before pulling from Cory’s grasp and picking up the fruits. 133Please respect copyright.PENANAyN776UJi76
“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. 133Please respect copyright.PENANApShbe0BuJh
Cory sighed.133Please respect copyright.PENANAXDbkvlxv62
“Then we can leave after it happens.”133Please respect copyright.PENANAyIV9IeHx5w
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. 133Please respect copyright.PENANAbnN4ZS41Cm
It was silent for a few moments and Cory stared at the ground, guilty. 133Please respect copyright.PENANAX1MgmOBrxA
“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.” 133Please respect copyright.PENANAF2gXtIqzem
Cory stared at him being taking a sharp breath and turning, Riven eyed him as Cory walked away disappearing amongst the bushes and trees. 133Please respect copyright.PENANAmWXbUuapgz
133Please respect copyright.PENANA0PcSa2mFxw
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’.133Please respect copyright.PENANAI4GwKUbME1
He looked around before spotting Riven “Cory” His eyes flickered with multiple emotions at once, fear, anger, anxiety.133Please respect copyright.PENANAYYObeeKpV8
“Don’t do this, please. Mama needs you and me by her side…” 133Please respect copyright.PENANAu5n9HP80px
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. 133Please respect copyright.PENANAnA8wCewAk1
“No, she needs peace and quiet.” He snapped, the train whistled and Riven’s eyes widened. 133Please respect copyright.PENANAJYFyrmBQIO
“No, Cory please!” 133Please respect copyright.PENANAfF82cC3MjR
“Hey! THEIF” 133Please respect copyright.PENANAU294wa990W
“Either join me, or run.” Cory spat, Riven hesitated but shook his head with a small scoff and ran. 133Please respect copyright.PENANAnY6nWT6YH8
Cory shoved himself into the bag as the police men chased him, he was getting out of here. 133Please respect copyright.PENANAr2UB1i7IN8
133Please respect copyright.PENANALOsL3tya2R
Manhattan, New York. August, 1824
“Cory! Look!” 133Please respect copyright.PENANAceJnuzn0Tx
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. 133Please respect copyright.PENANABtlS4htfpw
“This is more then yesterday!” She cheered, he raised an eyebrow. 133Please respect copyright.PENANAsoZQqn57IJ
“No way!” He chuckled, she grinned and kissed him gently over the counter. 133Please respect copyright.PENANA3cb2mvvoMi
“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. 133Please respect copyright.PENANAgXovK95iPW
She flipped the sign on the door and locked it, Cory smiled as she dragged him up the stairs towards their apartment. 133Please respect copyright.PENANAYtC9Apfddm
“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.133Please respect copyright.PENANAqqpTFvkIeV
When they entered the room, she spun “happy birthday!” She cheered, three people looked towards him with wide grins. 133Please respect copyright.PENANAvT0ovm2n9e
Cory broke into a smile. 133Please respect copyright.PENANAJWHGy8NHLz
“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. 133Please respect copyright.PENANAL58QKHfad6
24 years… he’d been through so much through those years. 133Please respect copyright.PENANARGStxd84VY
He cried and grieved, he stole, he lied, he moved, he made friends, he left friends, he fell in love…hard in love…133Please respect copyright.PENANApaAstcQLbk
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. 133Please respect copyright.PENANAMTI3VEoPEl
“We all pitched in, we hope you like it” 133Please respect copyright.PENANAE56TzeU4El
He tore the paper and Gasped, inside a small rectangular box sat a broach on a sliver chain. 133Please respect copyright.PENANAWRsrN2VzH1
It was a small rose set into Amber with a silver lace patterned trim, his mother had something similar…133Please respect copyright.PENANA2N8B8auUKB
“Where did you get this?”133Please respect copyright.PENANA65XSFtCQi3
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. 133Please respect copyright.PENANA0vEPDTvFWc
He stared at her, his eyes fluttering in a daze before he smiled gently. 133Please respect copyright.PENANAV0G301mKxA
“Thank you…guys, this is…this is amazing”
133Please respect copyright.PENANAcLWAalhVKr
Aisha sniffled as her breath quivered and she gripped Cory’s hand tightly. 133Please respect copyright.PENANA8RR8prKMW3
“I love you so much” 133Please respect copyright.PENANAHBXzalHb0g
Cory held back tears, “I love you more…”
133Please respect copyright.PENANART0D6zcymA
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. 133Please respect copyright.PENANAc1zBBCHPp5
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. 133Please respect copyright.PENANAnm8crfyVIu
He was starting to think that the curse that had been placed on him was a miracle, he could do anything he wanted.133Please respect copyright.PENANAJ63BmF9Luc
Go anywhere he wanted, see what happens in the future. 133Please respect copyright.PENANA9U7HbDNQyx

California, America. October, 1980. 133Please respect copyright.PENANAcuZU64SU9Z
133Please respect copyright.PENANAaIJKr9m2Y3
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. 133Please respect copyright.PENANAHNK8dDEy5w
“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. 133Please respect copyright.PENANAWVljl164qV
“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. 133Please respect copyright.PENANA5tQtEa06Jb
“Right, Cory the ever aspiring grandpa” he joked, Cory rolled his eyes. 133Please respect copyright.PENANAfV27JMQ8or
“Who you calling Grandpa, last I checked I was paying you” he teased, Tristan laughed and ruffled Cory’s hair. 133Please respect copyright.PENANAxwA1zCtFDd
“Good point, I don’t plan on losing that pay anytime soon” 133Please respect copyright.PENANAQW0AdQ6T92
“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. 133Please respect copyright.PENANADWGnOsytRV
Tristan rolled his eyes. 133Please respect copyright.PENANAHQmO0HWNfD
“I’m getting better” 133Please respect copyright.PENANAfFxPQmnB0i
“Say that to Greg, poor thing got his jaw busted cus’a’you” Dean groaned, Tristan sighed and Cory smirked. 133Please respect copyright.PENANAjxI4DMivKA
“Now, now let’s not start any fights. We’re here to have fun, remember?” 133Please respect copyright.PENANAFYBweLXGsw
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. 133Please respect copyright.PENANAwidD2MLSrd
Guitar strings were strummed, followed by the bass and drums. 133Please respect copyright.PENANA64FYikLHwD
Cory sang low and quiet as the first few notes were slow and thoughtful. 133Please respect copyright.PENANActjp1yO4C1
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. 133Please respect copyright.PENANArqxcZUli9D
“That was fucking amazing!” 133Please respect copyright.PENANAojwdwJLhPg
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. 133Please respect copyright.PENANA3SHhiGa6v1
He could never ask for a better life, he knew this was what everyone wanted…but he was starting to get tired of it. 133Please respect copyright.PENANAsDhLNoRpxP
He’d been around since 1802 for fucks sake…133Please respect copyright.PENANAztSUjhgfMo
“hey” 133Please respect copyright.PENANALiyJwM2sKi
he glanced up, meeting a tall man’s eyes. 133Please respect copyright.PENANAw4UD2RlVgO
“Remember me? Peru, 1821?” 133Please respect copyright.PENANAogRZkNySYm
Cory shivered and stood, “oh my god…Riv” 133Please respect copyright.PENANA3HVFkITznY
Riv smiled “been a while, wanna talk?” Cory grinned. 133Please respect copyright.PENANAJwz8CGIHtz
“Why not.”133Please respect copyright.PENANAro7r41yNQa
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…
The end. 133Please respect copyright.PENANAMMPL6gzJLE
