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. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaewWz8csjY
“Hey”306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ENHZMg0cF
He glanced up meeting eyes with a taller man in a suit, hands his in his pockets. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUnbV6VObu
“Remember me? Peru, 1821…”306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdmYqaWlme
Cory shivered and stood, “oh my god, Riv”
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjik2Fi45Tn
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. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡED50zLHxoc
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. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUD0mJi0X4a
“Cory, are you stealing again?” 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrzsTd4Jj5
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. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqbw6EqCnK
“Sorry mama…” he apologized, she sighed and ruffled his dark hair. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEQeit4eIB
“I’ve some news” 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOic86l7s4
He sat down and pulled off his boots, dumping water onto the stone roof below. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0406Ns5Ts
“We’re moving” 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NRZpcdK5s
He froze and looked up at his mother who clipped up a small quilt. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcz4ol8CPBl
“Your father found a job in Peru…it’ll help us” 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwQn2f3YoG
She looked to Cory who stared, baffled. “Why…”306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgtr92jJMl
She smiled gently, the slight sight of her canines just barely there.306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwbhGCcsiu
It was shocking how she still looked the same after so many years, and especially after giving birth to Cory. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqSxh1KTi5
Cory was basically a freak accident, or a miracle as his mother thought it. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7QEUcSigO
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. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk04DQ24ESx
Upon her having the ability to give birth, that child would have to live through many, many decades alone and immortal. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73aNJ6Q98F
A Daylighter. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXeSSXXLQv
Cory closed his eyes to take a deep breath, His mother pulled him into a hug. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kH1RsxCpo
“I love you, Cory”
“Well…it’s not much- but it’ll do” 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YN5pMTSel
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. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNCQg7VN4e
“Where’s dad?” 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOc1E0TklP
“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. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuO6WiOjZo
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. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFZTjKHMvn
“Do not yell at me young man. We moved so we could get better.” She snapped. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvcXRjEWa2
“This…this is worse.” He sobbed and slammed open the rickety wooden door as he ran out the house. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGqt2y38tW
“CORY” 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmdksyvCFm
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. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFKRrtORCZ
He wasn’t scared, he lost the ability to feel terror when he lived in London, always on the run, hiding from bad men. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmmkp23hOE
A small boy emerged from a bush a basket of fruit in hand, his eyes scanned the darkness before meeting Cory’s, something flickered. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zhlvOdFHd
“Are you alright?” 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjW7eKnoWXa
Cory frowned and nodded, the boy shared a similar frown…but one made of pity.306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj18OCSmNYb
“Here” 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVokOKidX2
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. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45NE22GNWm
“Thank you” 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03NwJj0h2f
the boy nodded and gestured to the spot next to him, Cory nodded and the boy sat down. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMKsdDHKgh
“I’m Riven…”306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTuyKi3AMp
“Cory” He replied in between bites of the ripe pear. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zrtfaC1LP
It was sweet and juicy…almost like something he’d never had before, which was true.306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCk3A3jLWo
“How old are you?” 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm79B38Rn1a
“13..”306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnvfAIZsPN
Riven blinked and pulled his knees to his chest, “what about you?” Cory inquired. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJp5jpxF5A
“10”
Moquegua, Peru. March, 1821.
Cory shoved Riven gently as they walked through the woods picking fruit from trees. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkZvuAEjN4
“I think I’m gonna leave Peru” 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgjjruglfL
Riven gave him a look. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqHIsRHQvN
“What? How?” 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMm2PIiUdUC
Cory kicked a rock gently and took a bite of a pear. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLptM8XLev5
“There’s a train leaving tonight, I’m gonna get on through the baggage area” he said, Riven frowned.306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHFLfU3Rn2
“You’re going to smuggle yourself out of Peru? Have fun with that.” 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzpsGQDigz
Cory stopped in his tracks and grabbed Riven’s arm. The basket fell. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zkncm43e5
“Riv…I want you to go with me” 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs29ftLx9hI
Riven stared in shock before pulling from Cory’s grasp and picking up the fruits. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTE0qlQcGkr
“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. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HX68UGarW
Cory sighed.306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZZXNXr0Us
“Then we can leave after it happens.”306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UAaz5FmM8
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. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGg9kmo9c3
It was silent for a few moments and Cory stared at the ground, guilty. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbGFKu9nyB
“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.” 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWcUdSDDJT
Cory stared at him being taking a sharp breath and turning, Riven eyed him as Cory walked away disappearing amongst the bushes and trees. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKZOqDeliK
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRN82z6tnq
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’.306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHO5HHilYg
He looked around before spotting Riven “Cory” His eyes flickered with multiple emotions at once, fear, anger, anxiety.306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOiWXx52bI
“Don’t do this, please. Mama needs you and me by her side…” 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqj9TabCpuk
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. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2stNxAwfQ0
“No, she needs peace and quiet.” He snapped, the train whistled and Riven’s eyes widened. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAr7Vi0uHXP
“No, Cory please!” 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvRMyLrOd2
“Hey! THEIF” 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGV5W43Cft
“Either join me, or run.” Cory spat, Riven hesitated but shook his head with a small scoff and ran. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMR1MhjwCf
Cory shoved himself into the bag as the police men chased him, he was getting out of here. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07NIn9IHQ0
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkcrQJ8hEs
Manhattan, New York. August, 1824
“Cory! Look!” 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIWTM8YOyp
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. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAawQNVaMmO
“This is more then yesterday!” She cheered, he raised an eyebrow. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrptjUoTqFc
“No way!” He chuckled, she grinned and kissed him gently over the counter. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4OsN4HFY7
“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. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxknorReHv8
She flipped the sign on the door and locked it, Cory smiled as she dragged him up the stairs towards their apartment. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDTay4MnMh
“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.306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNKsFtTkZi
When they entered the room, she spun “happy birthday!” She cheered, three people looked towards him with wide grins. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzMqn2hcTo
Cory broke into a smile. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTAdrOxkJk
“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. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8JrTgcFVf
24 years… he’d been through so much through those years. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATShmZgkHE
He cried and grieved, he stole, he lied, he moved, he made friends, he left friends, he fell in love…hard in love…306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrMvjJVB2o
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. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRozswlLcH
“We all pitched in, we hope you like it” 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4Z5JgiAN6
He tore the paper and Gasped, inside a small rectangular box sat a broach on a sliver chain. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OHvW7GSwT
It was a small rose set into Amber with a silver lace patterned trim, his mother had something similar…306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlD6bGIhnLo
“Where did you get this?”306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSO32yHPDiU
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. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2F1grqhGrm
He stared at her, his eyes fluttering in a daze before he smiled gently. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZWvibkEPJ
“Thank you…guys, this is…this is amazing”
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLS4Wee9Ngb
Aisha sniffled as her breath quivered and she gripped Cory’s hand tightly. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gHo8LQFNO
“I love you so much” 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmY3Mj92YD
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. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Rg20fHXbk
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. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpSfSDqbRh
He was starting to think that the curse that had been placed on him was a miracle, he could do anything he wanted.306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhn7X1trVt
Go anywhere he wanted, see what happens in the future. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZw2UOX2pQo

California, America. October, 1980. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CKiJGYpYu
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sG9L9vbHz
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. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCzN4ZZb2a
“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. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeaMeisglTa
“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. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QcnBGg9Dp
“Right, Cory the ever aspiring grandpa” he joked, Cory rolled his eyes. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAHrNgeLK2
“Who you calling Grandpa, last I checked I was paying you” he teased, Tristan laughed and ruffled Cory’s hair. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CgkI7xLCF
“Good point, I don’t plan on losing that pay anytime soon” 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVnBxje1ar
“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. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNiwEjWSkB1
Tristan rolled his eyes. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatZf4zfY5C
“I’m getting better” 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxT3sx3L09m
“Say that to Greg, poor thing got his jaw busted cus’a’you” Dean groaned, Tristan sighed and Cory smirked. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6LzEAhVDu
“Now, now let’s not start any fights. We’re here to have fun, remember?” 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYs3O8zlKkk
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. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa275Nw9vPf
Guitar strings were strummed, followed by the bass and drums. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHP3wTY6IkA
Cory sang low and quiet as the first few notes were slow and thoughtful. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTUzgmysra
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. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYFOZ33kWw
“That was fucking amazing!” 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwz6Iv1HJHv
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. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgDBGWwcLj
He could never ask for a better life, he knew this was what everyone wanted…but he was starting to get tired of it. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrHM8AiRW6
He’d been around since 1802 for fucks sake…306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEb8anfKyZk
“hey” 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NVJE8ER3w
he glanced up, meeting a tall man’s eyes. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8qRTeuLdi
“Remember me? Peru, 1821?” 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJipBLFKj7
Cory shivered and stood, “oh my god…Riv” 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDixJPtpNOi
Riv smiled “been a while, wanna talk?” Cory grinned. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yHOhR9Mao
“Why not.”306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBK65QNq04
