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. 140Please respect copyright.PENANAUXeEMPVc8j
“Hey”140Please respect copyright.PENANArK1CKES4vw
He glanced up meeting eyes with a taller man in a suit, hands his in his pockets. 140Please respect copyright.PENANAJkkUaRTUlx
“Remember me? Peru, 1821…”140Please respect copyright.PENANAiP7Z8WePsR
Cory shivered and stood, “oh my god, Riv”
140Please respect copyright.PENANAjpFzLep7tC
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. 140Please respect copyright.PENANAdkVwtFr61D
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. 140Please respect copyright.PENANAvHQNQBNlNP
“Cory, are you stealing again?” 140Please respect copyright.PENANA64BvEC9xh9
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. 140Please respect copyright.PENANAKSf176VlqC
“Sorry mama…” he apologized, she sighed and ruffled his dark hair. 140Please respect copyright.PENANAVFia6Vqw2o
“I’ve some news” 140Please respect copyright.PENANA5oSi5RXSWx
He sat down and pulled off his boots, dumping water onto the stone roof below. 140Please respect copyright.PENANAC18SifPi7h
“We’re moving” 140Please respect copyright.PENANAD4dbzofLMp
He froze and looked up at his mother who clipped up a small quilt. 140Please respect copyright.PENANAO8rWSEYZii
“Your father found a job in Peru…it’ll help us” 140Please respect copyright.PENANAtZVqsDQE9Q
She looked to Cory who stared, baffled. “Why…”140Please respect copyright.PENANAQIJ3MXemkJ
She smiled gently, the slight sight of her canines just barely there.140Please respect copyright.PENANAkZTNa6Uyhw
It was shocking how she still looked the same after so many years, and especially after giving birth to Cory. 140Please respect copyright.PENANAlQ3yqbGzzI
Cory was basically a freak accident, or a miracle as his mother thought it. 140Please respect copyright.PENANAW1XH1Tn7SY
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. 140Please respect copyright.PENANAcV8XSy6mYj
Upon her having the ability to give birth, that child would have to live through many, many decades alone and immortal. 140Please respect copyright.PENANAWIoweV4b3x
A Daylighter. 140Please respect copyright.PENANAoodymENXL0
Cory closed his eyes to take a deep breath, His mother pulled him into a hug. 140Please respect copyright.PENANAzVID4mf74p
“I love you, Cory”
“Well…it’s not much- but it’ll do” 140Please respect copyright.PENANALowu21kgV7
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. 140Please respect copyright.PENANAyR1pHuSDo3
“Where’s dad?” 140Please respect copyright.PENANAMQuQpoBXNm
“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. 140Please respect copyright.PENANAikk33fSvob
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. 140Please respect copyright.PENANACJD0LHWjTi
“Do not yell at me young man. We moved so we could get better.” She snapped. 140Please respect copyright.PENANAPiBrjUec7f
“This…this is worse.” He sobbed and slammed open the rickety wooden door as he ran out the house. 140Please respect copyright.PENANAWK1ZDimdAP
“CORY” 140Please respect copyright.PENANAGaqafStqMx
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. 140Please respect copyright.PENANAmOSswoAFGV
He wasn’t scared, he lost the ability to feel terror when he lived in London, always on the run, hiding from bad men. 140Please respect copyright.PENANAowJtMLUrzu
A small boy emerged from a bush a basket of fruit in hand, his eyes scanned the darkness before meeting Cory’s, something flickered. 140Please respect copyright.PENANAeG1H5dLkyw
“Are you alright?” 140Please respect copyright.PENANAdqMOoKbsVQ
Cory frowned and nodded, the boy shared a similar frown…but one made of pity.140Please respect copyright.PENANABQzIWLlRgz
“Here” 140Please respect copyright.PENANA2CDtrYap6X
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. 140Please respect copyright.PENANAp84LWIXhhA
“Thank you” 140Please respect copyright.PENANA3BxrBAYGvV
the boy nodded and gestured to the spot next to him, Cory nodded and the boy sat down. 140Please respect copyright.PENANAhuFKcf1Q7T
“I’m Riven…”140Please respect copyright.PENANADusRFTGh5O
“Cory” He replied in between bites of the ripe pear. 140Please respect copyright.PENANAnyvWC2ccJg
It was sweet and juicy…almost like something he’d never had before, which was true.140Please respect copyright.PENANA3BRcSbJDK0
“How old are you?” 140Please respect copyright.PENANAeAgvQYJvb3
“13..”140Please respect copyright.PENANAuGoAZC88hE
Riven blinked and pulled his knees to his chest, “what about you?” Cory inquired. 140Please respect copyright.PENANAB23dProvez
“10”
Moquegua, Peru. March, 1821.
Cory shoved Riven gently as they walked through the woods picking fruit from trees. 140Please respect copyright.PENANALcAoTaM5hr
“I think I’m gonna leave Peru” 140Please respect copyright.PENANAmIQJyzFGYH
Riven gave him a look. 140Please respect copyright.PENANAV9qlREldMw
“What? How?” 140Please respect copyright.PENANAhQUzkd0KaI
Cory kicked a rock gently and took a bite of a pear. 140Please respect copyright.PENANAf66jwN7brj
“There’s a train leaving tonight, I’m gonna get on through the baggage area” he said, Riven frowned.140Please respect copyright.PENANAzyNo1aqLKj
“You’re going to smuggle yourself out of Peru? Have fun with that.” 140Please respect copyright.PENANA6ryvN12Cty
Cory stopped in his tracks and grabbed Riven’s arm. The basket fell. 140Please respect copyright.PENANAvZvqC5IxAl
“Riv…I want you to go with me” 140Please respect copyright.PENANAMxKLVRCDCc
Riven stared in shock before pulling from Cory’s grasp and picking up the fruits. 140Please respect copyright.PENANA8ouO69WeJa
“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. 140Please respect copyright.PENANArnabANP56a
Cory sighed.140Please respect copyright.PENANA1bZtjNIMcI
“Then we can leave after it happens.”140Please respect copyright.PENANA0QlFmUrh6C
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. 140Please respect copyright.PENANARGDcvNXeE0
It was silent for a few moments and Cory stared at the ground, guilty. 140Please respect copyright.PENANApmL4mjXjdM
“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.” 140Please respect copyright.PENANAmFXVBOVMw8
Cory stared at him being taking a sharp breath and turning, Riven eyed him as Cory walked away disappearing amongst the bushes and trees. 140Please respect copyright.PENANAzPinjkrtUe
140Please respect copyright.PENANA6l8u14z5bc
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’.140Please respect copyright.PENANAhbhAlET1Lu
He looked around before spotting Riven “Cory” His eyes flickered with multiple emotions at once, fear, anger, anxiety.140Please respect copyright.PENANA7gvbAXFv29
“Don’t do this, please. Mama needs you and me by her side…” 140Please respect copyright.PENANASsaiLGoVDG
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. 140Please respect copyright.PENANAMSdJAxUkqG
“No, she needs peace and quiet.” He snapped, the train whistled and Riven’s eyes widened. 140Please respect copyright.PENANA0HQnxGwTMs
“No, Cory please!” 140Please respect copyright.PENANAl504QH7uw6
“Hey! THEIF” 140Please respect copyright.PENANAD6sZ10Mz0U
“Either join me, or run.” Cory spat, Riven hesitated but shook his head with a small scoff and ran. 140Please respect copyright.PENANA4h0MrdNvi8
Cory shoved himself into the bag as the police men chased him, he was getting out of here. 140Please respect copyright.PENANAnoElaPXmwG
140Please respect copyright.PENANAfqeK8ZIfJd
Manhattan, New York. August, 1824
“Cory! Look!” 140Please respect copyright.PENANAOYJZ6WrquS
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. 140Please respect copyright.PENANARHcrdLdmnk
“This is more then yesterday!” She cheered, he raised an eyebrow. 140Please respect copyright.PENANAZf53IsItVA
“No way!” He chuckled, she grinned and kissed him gently over the counter. 140Please respect copyright.PENANAQwhabQrs3E
“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. 140Please respect copyright.PENANAjvZ5Y9uEQx
She flipped the sign on the door and locked it, Cory smiled as she dragged him up the stairs towards their apartment. 140Please respect copyright.PENANAclWkjBC0wS
“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.140Please respect copyright.PENANAnq1ct015UF
When they entered the room, she spun “happy birthday!” She cheered, three people looked towards him with wide grins. 140Please respect copyright.PENANAADbTpseGlh
Cory broke into a smile. 140Please respect copyright.PENANAQAhtWqICyE
“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. 140Please respect copyright.PENANAgOJyxLpaLV
24 years… he’d been through so much through those years. 140Please respect copyright.PENANAfSqJP1PDRF
He cried and grieved, he stole, he lied, he moved, he made friends, he left friends, he fell in love…hard in love…140Please respect copyright.PENANAWbwZxqNSQA
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. 140Please respect copyright.PENANAGzr6T3GGXW
“We all pitched in, we hope you like it” 140Please respect copyright.PENANA17G5vi3xHJ
He tore the paper and Gasped, inside a small rectangular box sat a broach on a sliver chain. 140Please respect copyright.PENANAFT7X7dtyaU
It was a small rose set into Amber with a silver lace patterned trim, his mother had something similar…140Please respect copyright.PENANAD2Q2WCcsj7
“Where did you get this?”140Please respect copyright.PENANA98saExjo1n
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. 140Please respect copyright.PENANA2pDEogqk1i
He stared at her, his eyes fluttering in a daze before he smiled gently. 140Please respect copyright.PENANAmXKRjIpAb4
“Thank you…guys, this is…this is amazing”
140Please respect copyright.PENANAkamT0Xc2UQ
Aisha sniffled as her breath quivered and she gripped Cory’s hand tightly. 140Please respect copyright.PENANArafUnZv9gM
“I love you so much” 140Please respect copyright.PENANABPtfqVpGGR
Cory held back tears, “I love you more…”
140Please respect copyright.PENANAjJhgQSUKhp
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. 140Please respect copyright.PENANAyXhCqPvEOB
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. 140Please respect copyright.PENANACr6bY9s8rN
He was starting to think that the curse that had been placed on him was a miracle, he could do anything he wanted.140Please respect copyright.PENANAjUrVMZEig1
Go anywhere he wanted, see what happens in the future. 140Please respect copyright.PENANAJfyxTTlx9h

California, America. October, 1980. 140Please respect copyright.PENANAnI8bxsaLC4
140Please respect copyright.PENANA7AzTEiIBOK
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. 140Please respect copyright.PENANAKahys4KZX1
“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. 140Please respect copyright.PENANACZrzuuRFij
“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. 140Please respect copyright.PENANAPiqofvkVzi
“Right, Cory the ever aspiring grandpa” he joked, Cory rolled his eyes. 140Please respect copyright.PENANAu6J3P1ylSq
“Who you calling Grandpa, last I checked I was paying you” he teased, Tristan laughed and ruffled Cory’s hair. 140Please respect copyright.PENANAqYFyAYdnEP
“Good point, I don’t plan on losing that pay anytime soon” 140Please respect copyright.PENANAx5GJ1y8A7s
“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. 140Please respect copyright.PENANAkcMhmFTnZp
Tristan rolled his eyes. 140Please respect copyright.PENANArAk6Sbatp8
“I’m getting better” 140Please respect copyright.PENANAIkaWBRBkQ6
“Say that to Greg, poor thing got his jaw busted cus’a’you” Dean groaned, Tristan sighed and Cory smirked. 140Please respect copyright.PENANA2VyzEzqYO7
“Now, now let’s not start any fights. We’re here to have fun, remember?” 140Please respect copyright.PENANAGvVhApjYxQ
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. 140Please respect copyright.PENANAQhO14Ou3zK
Guitar strings were strummed, followed by the bass and drums. 140Please respect copyright.PENANAIxdPdKGu2z
Cory sang low and quiet as the first few notes were slow and thoughtful. 140Please respect copyright.PENANA0pQ69bTF5X
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. 140Please respect copyright.PENANAfycihSV5Am
“That was fucking amazing!” 140Please respect copyright.PENANAHTEl43n72Z
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. 140Please respect copyright.PENANAoMC6FAo3hL
He could never ask for a better life, he knew this was what everyone wanted…but he was starting to get tired of it. 140Please respect copyright.PENANASVdjrbCV2B
He’d been around since 1802 for fucks sake…140Please respect copyright.PENANASE6hq04z0o
“hey” 140Please respect copyright.PENANAsQqJMWxWt8
he glanced up, meeting a tall man’s eyes. 140Please respect copyright.PENANAl8RR02KWcs
“Remember me? Peru, 1821?” 140Please respect copyright.PENANAioIuPWw0KC
Cory shivered and stood, “oh my god…Riv” 140Please respect copyright.PENANA3dUMl3rGFt
Riv smiled “been a while, wanna talk?” Cory grinned. 140Please respect copyright.PENANAKKIN6N89dO
“Why not.”140Please respect copyright.PENANAv0qdMCHX1y
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…
