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. 362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3h5cimcbUq
“Hey”362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlQMlcrwwy
He glanced up meeting eyes with a taller man in a suit, hands his in his pockets. 362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLmBvdV0DB
“Remember me? Peru, 1821…”362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJQeMcb2Yk
Cory shivered and stood, “oh my god, Riv”
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlV6JySpVNl
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. 362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZabSpRQNxf
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. 362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxZ6U2Y0m9
“Cory, are you stealing again?” 362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFoUBrLsDvY
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. 362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFWxlvsbd4
“Sorry mama…” he apologized, she sighed and ruffled his dark hair. 362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9LvbF4LrS
“I’ve some news” 362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcD6BKHE627
He sat down and pulled off his boots, dumping water onto the stone roof below. 362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqix9EDqvC4
“We’re moving” 362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhH3JGmzN9i
He froze and looked up at his mother who clipped up a small quilt. 362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYHFOzbOzD
“Your father found a job in Peru…it’ll help us” 362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZNLvTxIrZ
She looked to Cory who stared, baffled. “Why…”362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3xP7Omo3X
She smiled gently, the slight sight of her canines just barely there.362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOJ18EYcye
It was shocking how she still looked the same after so many years, and especially after giving birth to Cory. 362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGXxbiK4Qr
Cory was basically a freak accident, or a miracle as his mother thought it. 362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD95cbKTOX9
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. 362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVHpN74v6V
Upon her having the ability to give birth, that child would have to live through many, many decades alone and immortal. 362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QuQZQnGfW
A Daylighter. 362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgxrljSujp
Cory closed his eyes to take a deep breath, His mother pulled him into a hug. 362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuGT9HaZoR
“I love you, Cory”
“Well…it’s not much- but it’ll do” 362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzxlHiV8uB
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. 362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7FHgNzaAD
“Where’s dad?” 362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5EpE6lHe8
“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. 362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Wrw8wmMUk
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. 362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodLcGbjsWl
“Do not yell at me young man. We moved so we could get better.” She snapped. 362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35dfpRD4Bk
“This…this is worse.” He sobbed and slammed open the rickety wooden door as he ran out the house. 362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHktLUXcTCu
“CORY” 362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvkbtJDAGg
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. 362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjRgx2IS3i
He wasn’t scared, he lost the ability to feel terror when he lived in London, always on the run, hiding from bad men. 362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2x7sgkl4t1
A small boy emerged from a bush a basket of fruit in hand, his eyes scanned the darkness before meeting Cory’s, something flickered. 362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MyhZoMUdj
“Are you alright?” 362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0dkdCJLPp
Cory frowned and nodded, the boy shared a similar frown…but one made of pity.362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPTTZjPW7I
“Here” 362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rDmkjRYlo
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. 362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclcvVRNvb0
“Thank you” 362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchES3rBpxM
the boy nodded and gestured to the spot next to him, Cory nodded and the boy sat down. 362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIjygQ5c2y
“I’m Riven…”362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJBuo3Tp3u
“Cory” He replied in between bites of the ripe pear. 362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mUWKvFYYT
It was sweet and juicy…almost like something he’d never had before, which was true.362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiX39QA2qh6
“How old are you?” 362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zPSAfNCTQ
“13..”362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡja6kmZ5jH6
Riven blinked and pulled his knees to his chest, “what about you?” Cory inquired. 362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQMzk8nSkk
“10”
Moquegua, Peru. March, 1821.
Cory shoved Riven gently as they walked through the woods picking fruit from trees. 362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYDZPsAw8c
“I think I’m gonna leave Peru” 362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEcES0HqzS
Riven gave him a look. 362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYeTCI2stLi
“What? How?” 362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuq3UyQCnWl
Cory kicked a rock gently and took a bite of a pear. 362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4VkBw0Tvm
“There’s a train leaving tonight, I’m gonna get on through the baggage area” he said, Riven frowned.362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AD9hDBY3a
“You’re going to smuggle yourself out of Peru? Have fun with that.” 362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMn5bLfXB8j
Cory stopped in his tracks and grabbed Riven’s arm. The basket fell. 362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cyE3djop8
“Riv…I want you to go with me” 362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRDEmecNgu
Riven stared in shock before pulling from Cory’s grasp and picking up the fruits. 362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNd3J1HZHo
“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. 362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuukinGWh2
Cory sighed.362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYp1BJY5my
“Then we can leave after it happens.”362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNmew36Zld
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. 362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7d5uQxIVFU
It was silent for a few moments and Cory stared at the ground, guilty. 362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6MA8zBI4G
“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.” 362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmcg9lfoP1
Cory stared at him being taking a sharp breath and turning, Riven eyed him as Cory walked away disappearing amongst the bushes and trees. 362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXDnOnpWSg
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Grpml1Ume
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’.362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrwRAu0dZ8
He looked around before spotting Riven “Cory” His eyes flickered with multiple emotions at once, fear, anger, anxiety.362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBh5kzlokL
“Don’t do this, please. Mama needs you and me by her side…” 362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡleNfHuaznm
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. 362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqARF86vdM
“No, she needs peace and quiet.” He snapped, the train whistled and Riven’s eyes widened. 362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTofm6wns8Q
“No, Cory please!” 362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHR14VGskK
“Hey! THEIF” 362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fUlz9A3wa
“Either join me, or run.” Cory spat, Riven hesitated but shook his head with a small scoff and ran. 362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6oUHy6XAT
Cory shoved himself into the bag as the police men chased him, he was getting out of here. 362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MknSoaWvS
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAilpganCa
Manhattan, New York. August, 1824
“Cory! Look!” 362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoc6ULnEwr
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. 362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOFxFxoaHa
“This is more then yesterday!” She cheered, he raised an eyebrow. 362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHJbbM0T3Y
“No way!” He chuckled, she grinned and kissed him gently over the counter. 362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpooXCYwgAN
“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. 362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CrXRgBfJN
She flipped the sign on the door and locked it, Cory smiled as she dragged him up the stairs towards their apartment. 362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFMS2NSCEL
“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.362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUJehTQbIe
When they entered the room, she spun “happy birthday!” She cheered, three people looked towards him with wide grins. 362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMPcaGN437
Cory broke into a smile. 362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLWeFQfH5T
“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. 362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTTX46Atgl
24 years… he’d been through so much through those years. 362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIhed74GWG
He cried and grieved, he stole, he lied, he moved, he made friends, he left friends, he fell in love…hard in love…362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchxA0Stv3t
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. 362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5s4pSX2kus
“We all pitched in, we hope you like it” 362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3nMmVCUE9
He tore the paper and Gasped, inside a small rectangular box sat a broach on a sliver chain. 362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9SfKxyEIn
It was a small rose set into Amber with a silver lace patterned trim, his mother had something similar…362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaoUN99X0TY
“Where did you get this?”362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡap9fyNbtEn
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. 362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZNWf5Tygi
He stared at her, his eyes fluttering in a daze before he smiled gently. 362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZ3Vue64W4
“Thank you…guys, this is…this is amazing”
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXVN4mfUNs
Aisha sniffled as her breath quivered and she gripped Cory’s hand tightly. 362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFhwtOgJfs
“I love you so much” 362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPQEi7uOwu
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. 362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7zVtTmdsg
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. 362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5LeFvE6ls
He was starting to think that the curse that had been placed on him was a miracle, he could do anything he wanted.362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcWHdXb1Gs
Go anywhere he wanted, see what happens in the future. 362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1mxcwZbyh

California, America. October, 1980. 362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKjK7y57CO
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dxAHTy6Lb
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. 362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLP7vYpo0a6
“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. 362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWaQR3WIwZY
“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. 362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yEgRBlEr0
“Right, Cory the ever aspiring grandpa” he joked, Cory rolled his eyes. 362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbxFFCWfCX
“Who you calling Grandpa, last I checked I was paying you” he teased, Tristan laughed and ruffled Cory’s hair. 362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgA962wbdx
“Good point, I don’t plan on losing that pay anytime soon” 362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaD9F1CqEFj
“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. 362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3KG2f5Qh5
Tristan rolled his eyes. 362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntVvxDQzNg
“I’m getting better” 362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eLnXEYSU8
“Say that to Greg, poor thing got his jaw busted cus’a’you” Dean groaned, Tristan sighed and Cory smirked. 362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52WNFqajK3
“Now, now let’s not start any fights. We’re here to have fun, remember?” 362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdCNTpwiQn
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. 362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPeIEA3cV1
Guitar strings were strummed, followed by the bass and drums. 362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3js61h5wI7
Cory sang low and quiet as the first few notes were slow and thoughtful. 362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgjX7NHZp5
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. 362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtem17PfynY
“That was fucking amazing!” 362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCJNdw8vR0
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. 362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABKSL5fF9b
He could never ask for a better life, he knew this was what everyone wanted…but he was starting to get tired of it. 362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMUPntHlho
He’d been around since 1802 for fucks sake…362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuKgRnFcbv
“hey” 362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctzhReXdaf
he glanced up, meeting a tall man’s eyes. 362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSA3qkjmHi
“Remember me? Peru, 1821?” 362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLq2zZouuWs
Cory shivered and stood, “oh my god…Riv” 362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfXuD0XZak
Riv smiled “been a while, wanna talk?” Cory grinned. 362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrNRpc9fJQ
“Why not.”362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMe3aM4Dt1B
