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. 128Please respect copyright.PENANAeMpMkwL5I9
“Hey”128Please respect copyright.PENANAXbUfDtKlht
He glanced up meeting eyes with a taller man in a suit, hands his in his pockets. 128Please respect copyright.PENANAlejttdr9P2
“Remember me? Peru, 1821…”128Please respect copyright.PENANARk1n1juDHM
Cory shivered and stood, “oh my god, Riv”
128Please respect copyright.PENANA2T3GnaiGWf
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. 128Please respect copyright.PENANAxwnAWrNs75
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. 128Please respect copyright.PENANAAQWE10caMF
“Cory, are you stealing again?” 128Please respect copyright.PENANABSc6OURGqb
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. 128Please respect copyright.PENANAYmyfRy82hD
“Sorry mama…” he apologized, she sighed and ruffled his dark hair. 128Please respect copyright.PENANArpzQFugnsq
“I’ve some news” 128Please respect copyright.PENANAyZFZB3ExnS
He sat down and pulled off his boots, dumping water onto the stone roof below. 128Please respect copyright.PENANAjBPbDkCa7X
“We’re moving” 128Please respect copyright.PENANAn07lTF9d95
He froze and looked up at his mother who clipped up a small quilt. 128Please respect copyright.PENANA3fKLxRlOMI
“Your father found a job in Peru…it’ll help us” 128Please respect copyright.PENANAeDYM9O8xI5
She looked to Cory who stared, baffled. “Why…”128Please respect copyright.PENANAewgXQxpHxN
She smiled gently, the slight sight of her canines just barely there.128Please respect copyright.PENANAIDQZt5siKD
It was shocking how she still looked the same after so many years, and especially after giving birth to Cory. 128Please respect copyright.PENANAMIpFojuQhy
Cory was basically a freak accident, or a miracle as his mother thought it. 128Please respect copyright.PENANAXl2lg9j6Xo
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. 128Please respect copyright.PENANAfjDaxdnfFw
Upon her having the ability to give birth, that child would have to live through many, many decades alone and immortal. 128Please respect copyright.PENANAQX08eiV1Dp
A Daylighter. 128Please respect copyright.PENANAToQTu4ucp9
Cory closed his eyes to take a deep breath, His mother pulled him into a hug. 128Please respect copyright.PENANA8sWwcAotf7
“I love you, Cory”
“Well…it’s not much- but it’ll do” 128Please respect copyright.PENANAM7gvIze27w
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. 128Please respect copyright.PENANAgd7i8hFZ4x
“Where’s dad?” 128Please respect copyright.PENANAtY9QKPUNBQ
“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. 128Please respect copyright.PENANADIBiV3Tbxl
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. 128Please respect copyright.PENANAUgjmNjEPcC
“Do not yell at me young man. We moved so we could get better.” She snapped. 128Please respect copyright.PENANABD4RpzhGsc
“This…this is worse.” He sobbed and slammed open the rickety wooden door as he ran out the house. 128Please respect copyright.PENANAcu9j8KvXD8
“CORY” 128Please respect copyright.PENANAlwNa8BVQIi
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. 128Please respect copyright.PENANAvRikPpmLAi
He wasn’t scared, he lost the ability to feel terror when he lived in London, always on the run, hiding from bad men. 128Please respect copyright.PENANANLHCoze33D
A small boy emerged from a bush a basket of fruit in hand, his eyes scanned the darkness before meeting Cory’s, something flickered. 128Please respect copyright.PENANAyHr42UdvSx
“Are you alright?” 128Please respect copyright.PENANA78YKr41aVH
Cory frowned and nodded, the boy shared a similar frown…but one made of pity.128Please respect copyright.PENANALpxzja1fBU
“Here” 128Please respect copyright.PENANA6K0G9c9YpN
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. 128Please respect copyright.PENANAfALm538iMc
“Thank you” 128Please respect copyright.PENANAsjgn6ee29v
the boy nodded and gestured to the spot next to him, Cory nodded and the boy sat down. 128Please respect copyright.PENANA6B8v1PUO13
“I’m Riven…”128Please respect copyright.PENANAVIiNkkDoH2
“Cory” He replied in between bites of the ripe pear. 128Please respect copyright.PENANA1g4zHxN55m
It was sweet and juicy…almost like something he’d never had before, which was true.128Please respect copyright.PENANAbtS7BkB8uK
“How old are you?” 128Please respect copyright.PENANAVVKy0rXsW5
“13..”128Please respect copyright.PENANABh9rDxDDKw
Riven blinked and pulled his knees to his chest, “what about you?” Cory inquired. 128Please respect copyright.PENANAs10tEGQOJm
“10”
Moquegua, Peru. March, 1821.
Cory shoved Riven gently as they walked through the woods picking fruit from trees. 128Please respect copyright.PENANAfRf2ot3gMh
“I think I’m gonna leave Peru” 128Please respect copyright.PENANAVB1hLodmUr
Riven gave him a look. 128Please respect copyright.PENANAHdDSbAn71Y
“What? How?” 128Please respect copyright.PENANAXC3qGGGJjm
Cory kicked a rock gently and took a bite of a pear. 128Please respect copyright.PENANAodutr4C3Gd
“There’s a train leaving tonight, I’m gonna get on through the baggage area” he said, Riven frowned.128Please respect copyright.PENANAApwsNlCsKi
“You’re going to smuggle yourself out of Peru? Have fun with that.” 128Please respect copyright.PENANAUWX7R9NUwS
Cory stopped in his tracks and grabbed Riven’s arm. The basket fell. 128Please respect copyright.PENANAEUH1uF8C1Q
“Riv…I want you to go with me” 128Please respect copyright.PENANAXn6iOu6Zwc
Riven stared in shock before pulling from Cory’s grasp and picking up the fruits. 128Please respect copyright.PENANA9pjZhGHuLi
“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. 128Please respect copyright.PENANA89ErgqHf17
Cory sighed.128Please respect copyright.PENANA7jM8LRyO9E
“Then we can leave after it happens.”128Please respect copyright.PENANAfuPbfAoULA
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. 128Please respect copyright.PENANA6on70fEfKh
It was silent for a few moments and Cory stared at the ground, guilty. 128Please respect copyright.PENANA3uvZTzFrmd
“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.” 128Please respect copyright.PENANAtC9ylNmR3O
Cory stared at him being taking a sharp breath and turning, Riven eyed him as Cory walked away disappearing amongst the bushes and trees. 128Please respect copyright.PENANAYMA7FtgQYl
128Please respect copyright.PENANA6btScPm32a
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’.128Please respect copyright.PENANAum1HE0DaDK
He looked around before spotting Riven “Cory” His eyes flickered with multiple emotions at once, fear, anger, anxiety.128Please respect copyright.PENANAFX8d5GbQs1
“Don’t do this, please. Mama needs you and me by her side…” 128Please respect copyright.PENANAs1RDBuzbbX
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. 128Please respect copyright.PENANAahLkFtwu3S
“No, she needs peace and quiet.” He snapped, the train whistled and Riven’s eyes widened. 128Please respect copyright.PENANAx6jgtYH6G7
“No, Cory please!” 128Please respect copyright.PENANAXvw3dGQ6or
“Hey! THEIF” 128Please respect copyright.PENANAptMfntEuVh
“Either join me, or run.” Cory spat, Riven hesitated but shook his head with a small scoff and ran. 128Please respect copyright.PENANAAMj521R3t8
Cory shoved himself into the bag as the police men chased him, he was getting out of here. 128Please respect copyright.PENANAgbmSpwvx6Q
128Please respect copyright.PENANACykFDd4ORR
Manhattan, New York. August, 1824
“Cory! Look!” 128Please respect copyright.PENANAUGKb96DHJu
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. 128Please respect copyright.PENANACuUo7gXu0Q
“This is more then yesterday!” She cheered, he raised an eyebrow. 128Please respect copyright.PENANAcyOuFIzvSR
“No way!” He chuckled, she grinned and kissed him gently over the counter. 128Please respect copyright.PENANAaPpZ3dipy8
“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. 128Please respect copyright.PENANAdXeRh7wxBZ
She flipped the sign on the door and locked it, Cory smiled as she dragged him up the stairs towards their apartment. 128Please respect copyright.PENANANxryleaV25
“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.128Please respect copyright.PENANAdsdakCxjVh
When they entered the room, she spun “happy birthday!” She cheered, three people looked towards him with wide grins. 128Please respect copyright.PENANA1UY6lhD5Uo
Cory broke into a smile. 128Please respect copyright.PENANAqxc87j09dc
“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. 128Please respect copyright.PENANAudjaRwv2Ky
24 years… he’d been through so much through those years. 128Please respect copyright.PENANAKPL4mgUyFE
He cried and grieved, he stole, he lied, he moved, he made friends, he left friends, he fell in love…hard in love…128Please respect copyright.PENANAIeXVZTJmDP
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. 128Please respect copyright.PENANA730YwEk7XN
“We all pitched in, we hope you like it” 128Please respect copyright.PENANA4Ckzqzis21
He tore the paper and Gasped, inside a small rectangular box sat a broach on a sliver chain. 128Please respect copyright.PENANAtaIbbXFNhi
It was a small rose set into Amber with a silver lace patterned trim, his mother had something similar…128Please respect copyright.PENANAF193IdDAfj
“Where did you get this?”128Please respect copyright.PENANA35IWhKs1gS
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. 128Please respect copyright.PENANAi70N8CENPt
He stared at her, his eyes fluttering in a daze before he smiled gently. 128Please respect copyright.PENANAxdhHu5u5Xi
“Thank you…guys, this is…this is amazing”
128Please respect copyright.PENANA42nsGB8A9i
Aisha sniffled as her breath quivered and she gripped Cory’s hand tightly. 128Please respect copyright.PENANAVGCQw6GMl3
“I love you so much” 128Please respect copyright.PENANABQZoebKVNv
Cory held back tears, “I love you more…”
128Please respect copyright.PENANAKzQ5dIGE9G
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. 128Please respect copyright.PENANAWE8oaVFDep
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. 128Please respect copyright.PENANAHbjqUjYI9c
He was starting to think that the curse that had been placed on him was a miracle, he could do anything he wanted.128Please respect copyright.PENANAdxWUNSKbec
Go anywhere he wanted, see what happens in the future. 128Please respect copyright.PENANAybNYjJun8N
128Please respect copyright.PENANAZom6YIJHyp
California, America. October, 1980. 128Please respect copyright.PENANAhMCHJgoKbx
128Please respect copyright.PENANAvdVXReREhn
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. 128Please respect copyright.PENANADtyQPlnGhI
“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. 128Please respect copyright.PENANA09umJmH2p1
“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. 128Please respect copyright.PENANAaApFM7xPJp
“Right, Cory the ever aspiring grandpa” he joked, Cory rolled his eyes. 128Please respect copyright.PENANAd8t09556uR
“Who you calling Grandpa, last I checked I was paying you” he teased, Tristan laughed and ruffled Cory’s hair. 128Please respect copyright.PENANAoVoIgStNAl
“Good point, I don’t plan on losing that pay anytime soon” 128Please respect copyright.PENANAtNInKo6l2q
“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. 128Please respect copyright.PENANAxTlI4psM0Y
Tristan rolled his eyes. 128Please respect copyright.PENANAQLPnquk8ub
“I’m getting better” 128Please respect copyright.PENANA36kkYGAvAq
“Say that to Greg, poor thing got his jaw busted cus’a’you” Dean groaned, Tristan sighed and Cory smirked. 128Please respect copyright.PENANAgMVf5uVf24
“Now, now let’s not start any fights. We’re here to have fun, remember?” 128Please respect copyright.PENANAejI2iFpRr6
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. 128Please respect copyright.PENANAMdOtlRySsu
Guitar strings were strummed, followed by the bass and drums. 128Please respect copyright.PENANAmLssz3ZWwb
Cory sang low and quiet as the first few notes were slow and thoughtful. 128Please respect copyright.PENANAjZcZr60Hew
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. 128Please respect copyright.PENANADRNkSJPpYm
“That was fucking amazing!” 128Please respect copyright.PENANAysuQGg9qoa
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. 128Please respect copyright.PENANAWan9YrxRo1
He could never ask for a better life, he knew this was what everyone wanted…but he was starting to get tired of it. 128Please respect copyright.PENANAXqo5wJUPXJ
He’d been around since 1802 for fucks sake…128Please respect copyright.PENANAw331Tnqox6
“hey” 128Please respect copyright.PENANAK4XB5zPN6j
he glanced up, meeting a tall man’s eyes. 128Please respect copyright.PENANAQdJ98fsGmh
“Remember me? Peru, 1821?” 128Please respect copyright.PENANAsTG7eGAXx1
Cory shivered and stood, “oh my god…Riv” 128Please respect copyright.PENANATg7tzlb9Ox
Riv smiled “been a while, wanna talk?” Cory grinned. 128Please respect copyright.PENANAbxmOQkFiR8
“Why not.”128Please respect copyright.PENANAvQI81xLasP
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. 128Please respect copyright.PENANAyO6W27fGsi
