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. 425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsBeJKoTSq
“Hey”425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamkqfRhNNQ
He glanced up meeting eyes with a taller man in a suit, hands his in his pockets. 425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadA1gfJ3BH
“Remember me? Peru, 1821…”425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7MtQ4cG7K
Cory shivered and stood, “oh my god, Riv”
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViO0tEyhhn
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. 425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyah98xnS2
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. 425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxfT784WH2
“Cory, are you stealing again?” 425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CsNpMros2
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. 425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXGZEShKuA
“Sorry mama…” he apologized, she sighed and ruffled his dark hair. 425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijc61uKqmC
“I’ve some news” 425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Es2yK4sIP
He sat down and pulled off his boots, dumping water onto the stone roof below. 425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwBWDgixUc
“We’re moving” 425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStM40OM3a5
He froze and looked up at his mother who clipped up a small quilt. 425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqxwEoZtCZ
“Your father found a job in Peru…it’ll help us” 425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlO7wqgV6GS
She looked to Cory who stared, baffled. “Why…”425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQpcIj24yu
She smiled gently, the slight sight of her canines just barely there.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsU1wfpR3V
It was shocking how she still looked the same after so many years, and especially after giving birth to Cory. 425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGKNxS9FN9
Cory was basically a freak accident, or a miracle as his mother thought it. 425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytZ4qx7uKJ
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. 425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6AscQ5WS7U
Upon her having the ability to give birth, that child would have to live through many, many decades alone and immortal. 425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrL4C9ZyXUE
A Daylighter. 425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPp8ZYXbofv
Cory closed his eyes to take a deep breath, His mother pulled him into a hug. 425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZaZIAmk2L
“I love you, Cory”
“Well…it’s not much- but it’ll do” 425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0VLDt9PPm
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. 425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YmiPoXTvX
“Where’s dad?” 425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49CVJzKzK9
“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. 425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpeOBNLpRQ
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. 425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdc4tmwtjDs
“Do not yell at me young man. We moved so we could get better.” She snapped. 425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyu5Vatv3Nv
“This…this is worse.” He sobbed and slammed open the rickety wooden door as he ran out the house. 425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZu0Mog1qog
“CORY” 425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVbop8jK2f
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. 425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0azDBqxfPP
He wasn’t scared, he lost the ability to feel terror when he lived in London, always on the run, hiding from bad men. 425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡna6TXMSFmQ
A small boy emerged from a bush a basket of fruit in hand, his eyes scanned the darkness before meeting Cory’s, something flickered. 425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHkfLkp0t0
“Are you alright?” 425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvKquREj6I
Cory frowned and nodded, the boy shared a similar frown…but one made of pity.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtE7XcwiWTU
“Here” 425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmLMIOsDuD
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. 425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPk553m6i4
“Thank you” 425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOd4NkO5HSG
the boy nodded and gestured to the spot next to him, Cory nodded and the boy sat down. 425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZE9R3rKyyI
“I’m Riven…”425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsR9gADEFOW
“Cory” He replied in between bites of the ripe pear. 425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSf6uIKcuJ
It was sweet and juicy…almost like something he’d never had before, which was true.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsg2IhmX4ZN
“How old are you?” 425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xGkgA6cle
“13..”425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVQwz1CCbq
Riven blinked and pulled his knees to his chest, “what about you?” Cory inquired. 425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYmU7all2g
“10”
Moquegua, Peru. March, 1821.
Cory shoved Riven gently as they walked through the woods picking fruit from trees. 425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizG0I3upXT
“I think I’m gonna leave Peru” 425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFRUwuWz5a
Riven gave him a look. 425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9C5bLMda2
“What? How?” 425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRIsDRLSUd
Cory kicked a rock gently and took a bite of a pear. 425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RLSON2XEt
“There’s a train leaving tonight, I’m gonna get on through the baggage area” he said, Riven frowned.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCI0qCl8dB7
“You’re going to smuggle yourself out of Peru? Have fun with that.” 425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UvB4AZqgz
Cory stopped in his tracks and grabbed Riven’s arm. The basket fell. 425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrNNI82ULz
“Riv…I want you to go with me” 425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHkqTHnnkb
Riven stared in shock before pulling from Cory’s grasp and picking up the fruits. 425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LtXdiVw5M
“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. 425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIt9HLtEz87
Cory sighed.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UxSMRC9xY
“Then we can leave after it happens.”425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQpiYG2qH3
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. 425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cb6mHC9IU
It was silent for a few moments and Cory stared at the ground, guilty. 425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVz0ef27dgJ
“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.” 425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNvtUJ9PxG
Cory stared at him being taking a sharp breath and turning, Riven eyed him as Cory walked away disappearing amongst the bushes and trees. 425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AJIp7XNu4
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxh1DCIxLs1
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’.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKaba6fZlv
He looked around before spotting Riven “Cory” His eyes flickered with multiple emotions at once, fear, anger, anxiety.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlceR4YNMq
“Don’t do this, please. Mama needs you and me by her side…” 425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzXGdXXEKm
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. 425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Lj08fN5fF
“No, she needs peace and quiet.” He snapped, the train whistled and Riven’s eyes widened. 425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGEebGrdkN
“No, Cory please!” 425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD257DJQSMt
“Hey! THEIF” 425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37dQK6dN5j
“Either join me, or run.” Cory spat, Riven hesitated but shook his head with a small scoff and ran. 425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTL8WxMAwQ
Cory shoved himself into the bag as the police men chased him, he was getting out of here. 425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdwaBqrWcM
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXU7uI0DXN1
Manhattan, New York. August, 1824
“Cory! Look!” 425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr38YOskIdY
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. 425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDuw0oW6mV
“This is more then yesterday!” She cheered, he raised an eyebrow. 425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyk2VeVvJH9
“No way!” He chuckled, she grinned and kissed him gently over the counter. 425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnowPrcmX3
“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. 425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BVQn2Tz7K
She flipped the sign on the door and locked it, Cory smiled as she dragged him up the stairs towards their apartment. 425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgfROGGU3S
“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.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4L0ZVGqBuL
When they entered the room, she spun “happy birthday!” She cheered, three people looked towards him with wide grins. 425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcrB7UuxKn
Cory broke into a smile. 425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHwXHuMoGA
“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. 425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0DiAFau6i
24 years… he’d been through so much through those years. 425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGSoubwh6p
He cried and grieved, he stole, he lied, he moved, he made friends, he left friends, he fell in love…hard in love…425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurmNMaPFmw
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. 425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuLLJDccSP
“We all pitched in, we hope you like it” 425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWLiNSbfXv
He tore the paper and Gasped, inside a small rectangular box sat a broach on a sliver chain. 425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHrFcscqQD
It was a small rose set into Amber with a silver lace patterned trim, his mother had something similar…425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WVst7sXF2
“Where did you get this?”425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xQALcSjps
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. 425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwy7eTayPhx
He stared at her, his eyes fluttering in a daze before he smiled gently. 425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpY6LTtlcV
“Thank you…guys, this is…this is amazing”
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxacUYEHLBg
Aisha sniffled as her breath quivered and she gripped Cory’s hand tightly. 425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSj3wFKzsYq
“I love you so much” 425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhs5uKDN2Up
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. 425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡownZVPscfF
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. 425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckRcgiQC2g
He was starting to think that the curse that had been placed on him was a miracle, he could do anything he wanted.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUc2jIMYOqW
Go anywhere he wanted, see what happens in the future. 425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAjZggzkc9

California, America. October, 1980. 425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RUjiIYVoW
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkcb14TsBV
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. 425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DJFkDWeOp
“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. 425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlqFoLXEl8
“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. 425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjR2dKW8DgF
“Right, Cory the ever aspiring grandpa” he joked, Cory rolled his eyes. 425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSUsFNljCm
“Who you calling Grandpa, last I checked I was paying you” he teased, Tristan laughed and ruffled Cory’s hair. 425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZSpz8eDbV
“Good point, I don’t plan on losing that pay anytime soon” 425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqTE0N0dDl
“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. 425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuvMT3ZTQX
Tristan rolled his eyes. 425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQ8FsnmjPo
“I’m getting better” 425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7Kp1JkqCL
“Say that to Greg, poor thing got his jaw busted cus’a’you” Dean groaned, Tristan sighed and Cory smirked. 425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdEpx85taF
“Now, now let’s not start any fights. We’re here to have fun, remember?” 425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjb4Od7n3YR
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. 425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92W38qA21D
Guitar strings were strummed, followed by the bass and drums. 425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAK0aVx8pf
Cory sang low and quiet as the first few notes were slow and thoughtful. 425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vkpap9Qiz
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. 425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdk4m1LXeA
“That was fucking amazing!” 425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjw5evimFf
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. 425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2UWJmiM9L
He could never ask for a better life, he knew this was what everyone wanted…but he was starting to get tired of it. 425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnBY7FVb8d
He’d been around since 1802 for fucks sake…425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4v6OkWXgBH
“hey” 425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYOHyVk0no
he glanced up, meeting a tall man’s eyes. 425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6qPav6i8w
“Remember me? Peru, 1821?” 425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDWm8RyMUK
Cory shivered and stood, “oh my god…Riv” 425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7Cjuj0kBM
Riv smiled “been a while, wanna talk?” Cory grinned. 425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfRYX1ho9w
“Why not.”425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgl1oYk7RF
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…
