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. 129Please respect copyright.PENANA8Ij2ruaLiB
“Hey”129Please respect copyright.PENANAjlFNyGTjFP
He glanced up meeting eyes with a taller man in a suit, hands his in his pockets. 129Please respect copyright.PENANAjwqwty8XnK
“Remember me? Peru, 1821…”129Please respect copyright.PENANAaaektPAUDd
Cory shivered and stood, “oh my god, Riv”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAQCDzfK1VxB
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. 129Please respect copyright.PENANAPNlFncUxRR
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. 129Please respect copyright.PENANAtVAh6bku8V
“Cory, are you stealing again?” 129Please respect copyright.PENANAnPJD28IGk9
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. 129Please respect copyright.PENANAwx7LoZA7Jt
“Sorry mama…” he apologized, she sighed and ruffled his dark hair. 129Please respect copyright.PENANACRhEHFqm5S
“I’ve some news” 129Please respect copyright.PENANAbbT3hpPTHf
He sat down and pulled off his boots, dumping water onto the stone roof below. 129Please respect copyright.PENANAVjKBpA8BIM
“We’re moving” 129Please respect copyright.PENANASAlSTSqQIK
He froze and looked up at his mother who clipped up a small quilt. 129Please respect copyright.PENANAmqnZjM8avT
“Your father found a job in Peru…it’ll help us” 129Please respect copyright.PENANAcBIpRgHqgf
She looked to Cory who stared, baffled. “Why…”129Please respect copyright.PENANAYVRjhBAgZK
She smiled gently, the slight sight of her canines just barely there.129Please respect copyright.PENANAz6ZgetCUGo
It was shocking how she still looked the same after so many years, and especially after giving birth to Cory. 129Please respect copyright.PENANAQH1D5ZM5gV
Cory was basically a freak accident, or a miracle as his mother thought it. 129Please respect copyright.PENANAqOU0w7hUKQ
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. 129Please respect copyright.PENANA9cnjNfYFqh
Upon her having the ability to give birth, that child would have to live through many, many decades alone and immortal. 129Please respect copyright.PENANA8HUJhYMtLu
A Daylighter. 129Please respect copyright.PENANAFkalANJRAw
Cory closed his eyes to take a deep breath, His mother pulled him into a hug. 129Please respect copyright.PENANAVviXcChyQO
“I love you, Cory”
“Well…it’s not much- but it’ll do” 129Please respect copyright.PENANApgyfgoXarb
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. 129Please respect copyright.PENANAXoK45D8E64
“Where’s dad?” 129Please respect copyright.PENANAwgxSJ2Hf52
“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. 129Please respect copyright.PENANAzIsgbSasTE
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. 129Please respect copyright.PENANAzksfoacy0r
“Do not yell at me young man. We moved so we could get better.” She snapped. 129Please respect copyright.PENANAAg2iXum6M9
“This…this is worse.” He sobbed and slammed open the rickety wooden door as he ran out the house. 129Please respect copyright.PENANA3Pzeh8mfaC
“CORY” 129Please respect copyright.PENANAcTSci1eDmd
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. 129Please respect copyright.PENANASbSr7kBL7u
He wasn’t scared, he lost the ability to feel terror when he lived in London, always on the run, hiding from bad men. 129Please respect copyright.PENANAZePnZsWmpP
A small boy emerged from a bush a basket of fruit in hand, his eyes scanned the darkness before meeting Cory’s, something flickered. 129Please respect copyright.PENANAc47xAo7SOf
“Are you alright?” 129Please respect copyright.PENANA5Epj9C81h4
Cory frowned and nodded, the boy shared a similar frown…but one made of pity.129Please respect copyright.PENANAervYePlr8o
“Here” 129Please respect copyright.PENANAA9yQHviru8
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. 129Please respect copyright.PENANA4gW9fdoZtu
“Thank you” 129Please respect copyright.PENANADQqFwHsDAJ
the boy nodded and gestured to the spot next to him, Cory nodded and the boy sat down. 129Please respect copyright.PENANA8T2Ghqb4ly
“I’m Riven…”129Please respect copyright.PENANAwVe7DESVqM
“Cory” He replied in between bites of the ripe pear. 129Please respect copyright.PENANAJvo748jbLu
It was sweet and juicy…almost like something he’d never had before, which was true.129Please respect copyright.PENANAHkjdhG4oNT
“How old are you?” 129Please respect copyright.PENANA5PumunLMpQ
“13..”129Please respect copyright.PENANAaXz7KWorDB
Riven blinked and pulled his knees to his chest, “what about you?” Cory inquired. 129Please respect copyright.PENANAN58yNjZMul
“10”
Moquegua, Peru. March, 1821.
Cory shoved Riven gently as they walked through the woods picking fruit from trees. 129Please respect copyright.PENANATs6caymNbX
“I think I’m gonna leave Peru” 129Please respect copyright.PENANA53nFokOu0L
Riven gave him a look. 129Please respect copyright.PENANAzu1TXgsCBd
“What? How?” 129Please respect copyright.PENANApW93ENCqBQ
Cory kicked a rock gently and took a bite of a pear. 129Please respect copyright.PENANAzVtgCtBnWn
“There’s a train leaving tonight, I’m gonna get on through the baggage area” he said, Riven frowned.129Please respect copyright.PENANA7MOESALayu
“You’re going to smuggle yourself out of Peru? Have fun with that.” 129Please respect copyright.PENANAmstLqmwf2x
Cory stopped in his tracks and grabbed Riven’s arm. The basket fell. 129Please respect copyright.PENANAo0NLkTygpV
“Riv…I want you to go with me” 129Please respect copyright.PENANACrsp4nGqfj
Riven stared in shock before pulling from Cory’s grasp and picking up the fruits. 129Please respect copyright.PENANAZXKBQXLJH5
“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. 129Please respect copyright.PENANArFtt9mWKbL
Cory sighed.129Please respect copyright.PENANAHSR3bk8yq0
“Then we can leave after it happens.”129Please respect copyright.PENANANHgfd4IcOR
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. 129Please respect copyright.PENANAE7qxz29eZI
It was silent for a few moments and Cory stared at the ground, guilty. 129Please respect copyright.PENANArfQNyj81uI
“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.” 129Please respect copyright.PENANAmsQhTibLGr
Cory stared at him being taking a sharp breath and turning, Riven eyed him as Cory walked away disappearing amongst the bushes and trees. 129Please respect copyright.PENANA7l6ssW81YA
129Please respect copyright.PENANA8uEktR6pCJ
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’.129Please respect copyright.PENANA68xQhZxv2H
He looked around before spotting Riven “Cory” His eyes flickered with multiple emotions at once, fear, anger, anxiety.129Please respect copyright.PENANAK7BaCxaelo
“Don’t do this, please. Mama needs you and me by her side…” 129Please respect copyright.PENANApEa6Tk72TR
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. 129Please respect copyright.PENANAMAGPBZbGkh
“No, she needs peace and quiet.” He snapped, the train whistled and Riven’s eyes widened. 129Please respect copyright.PENANAIHYezKO1vv
“No, Cory please!” 129Please respect copyright.PENANAxVibgQLfxJ
“Hey! THEIF” 129Please respect copyright.PENANAe9ETAEuYUO
“Either join me, or run.” Cory spat, Riven hesitated but shook his head with a small scoff and ran. 129Please respect copyright.PENANAdjIYaSsBYo
Cory shoved himself into the bag as the police men chased him, he was getting out of here. 129Please respect copyright.PENANAaDHQm5JFb3
129Please respect copyright.PENANAnU1EANqNYB
Manhattan, New York. August, 1824
“Cory! Look!” 129Please respect copyright.PENANAGzprWdrQJ6
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. 129Please respect copyright.PENANAkbbZ7coOKX
“This is more then yesterday!” She cheered, he raised an eyebrow. 129Please respect copyright.PENANAxSmlSgmbxu
“No way!” He chuckled, she grinned and kissed him gently over the counter. 129Please respect copyright.PENANAnZcGLg0r75
“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. 129Please respect copyright.PENANAUT70q73sTX
She flipped the sign on the door and locked it, Cory smiled as she dragged him up the stairs towards their apartment. 129Please respect copyright.PENANAMTkoTgXO2R
“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.129Please respect copyright.PENANAivzP5IMXwb
When they entered the room, she spun “happy birthday!” She cheered, three people looked towards him with wide grins. 129Please respect copyright.PENANA53G4GksGru
Cory broke into a smile. 129Please respect copyright.PENANA2kZYnMj1Ch
“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. 129Please respect copyright.PENANAVhgP4krjAy
24 years… he’d been through so much through those years. 129Please respect copyright.PENANAOiVgZaZGqv
He cried and grieved, he stole, he lied, he moved, he made friends, he left friends, he fell in love…hard in love…129Please respect copyright.PENANAAgGdd1zr9F
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. 129Please respect copyright.PENANAljVM7YR1A6
“We all pitched in, we hope you like it” 129Please respect copyright.PENANA3ZE8LbLANR
He tore the paper and Gasped, inside a small rectangular box sat a broach on a sliver chain. 129Please respect copyright.PENANAUcvSFmO95k
It was a small rose set into Amber with a silver lace patterned trim, his mother had something similar…129Please respect copyright.PENANAlJr0RjAakq
“Where did you get this?”129Please respect copyright.PENANA0PCkNuapVb
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. 129Please respect copyright.PENANAIKsxmbj2M5
He stared at her, his eyes fluttering in a daze before he smiled gently. 129Please respect copyright.PENANAzFllfdqEgw
“Thank you…guys, this is…this is amazing”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAcvkxN5ju3N
Aisha sniffled as her breath quivered and she gripped Cory’s hand tightly. 129Please respect copyright.PENANATSp9M8QZrM
“I love you so much” 129Please respect copyright.PENANAfPtqWgNTG2
Cory held back tears, “I love you more…”
129Please respect copyright.PENANAEvuormUG19
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. 129Please respect copyright.PENANAHKvT38cRrx
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. 129Please respect copyright.PENANAOS4S0iNsZW
He was starting to think that the curse that had been placed on him was a miracle, he could do anything he wanted.129Please respect copyright.PENANApFM4bMa3bQ
Go anywhere he wanted, see what happens in the future. 129Please respect copyright.PENANA7P9eCrIw5G

California, America. October, 1980. 129Please respect copyright.PENANAhCZ0yPuXAY
129Please respect copyright.PENANAQjilFGQsVi
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. 129Please respect copyright.PENANAVg9etAUQ61
“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. 129Please respect copyright.PENANA7F2ToPDY2I
“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. 129Please respect copyright.PENANAkwwoCmaJwI
“Right, Cory the ever aspiring grandpa” he joked, Cory rolled his eyes. 129Please respect copyright.PENANAlVfavdU3QV
“Who you calling Grandpa, last I checked I was paying you” he teased, Tristan laughed and ruffled Cory’s hair. 129Please respect copyright.PENANARLHjOLfrT9
“Good point, I don’t plan on losing that pay anytime soon” 129Please respect copyright.PENANANKbHFMpsJK
“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. 129Please respect copyright.PENANAmbXiXMcQFu
Tristan rolled his eyes. 129Please respect copyright.PENANAEH7kLKG2JP
“I’m getting better” 129Please respect copyright.PENANA1gf9VEngGn
“Say that to Greg, poor thing got his jaw busted cus’a’you” Dean groaned, Tristan sighed and Cory smirked. 129Please respect copyright.PENANAgUzv2uMSfs
“Now, now let’s not start any fights. We’re here to have fun, remember?” 129Please respect copyright.PENANAq3K3yd9KAx
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. 129Please respect copyright.PENANAhaWGkqwKW1
Guitar strings were strummed, followed by the bass and drums. 129Please respect copyright.PENANA142o8mUKLy
Cory sang low and quiet as the first few notes were slow and thoughtful. 129Please respect copyright.PENANA1p2K5Q8uE7
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. 129Please respect copyright.PENANAYJKhmCnLgF
“That was fucking amazing!” 129Please respect copyright.PENANAwoE1B3yMVn
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. 129Please respect copyright.PENANAgZbfX9vV4F
He could never ask for a better life, he knew this was what everyone wanted…but he was starting to get tired of it. 129Please respect copyright.PENANAjFiFEpI59o
He’d been around since 1802 for fucks sake…129Please respect copyright.PENANA7KvCruDxrU
“hey” 129Please respect copyright.PENANAArx9zSuxk8
he glanced up, meeting a tall man’s eyes. 129Please respect copyright.PENANAHSGL7WiaJI
“Remember me? Peru, 1821?” 129Please respect copyright.PENANAEVtaKrMxCz
Cory shivered and stood, “oh my god…Riv” 129Please respect copyright.PENANAp4ZLynM0e0
Riv smiled “been a while, wanna talk?” Cory grinned. 129Please respect copyright.PENANAXHJgowsjgs
“Why not.”129Please respect copyright.PENANAo17FrSSDl6
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. 129Please respect copyright.PENANA2JErlEHYH2
