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. 313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfA8iV04rI6
“Hey”313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaujMicHUyQ
He glanced up meeting eyes with a taller man in a suit, hands his in his pockets. 313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5xENXn5D4
“Remember me? Peru, 1821…”313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡieD6QBMywP
Cory shivered and stood, “oh my god, Riv”
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeeLfjIfynU
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. 313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9jpPgkMSb
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. 313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tsepKIujY
“Cory, are you stealing again?” 313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeh9hwIeSEU
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. 313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCoyr45lbw
“Sorry mama…” he apologized, she sighed and ruffled his dark hair. 313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDW4R2jHuLs
“I’ve some news” 313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7A2EBu192
He sat down and pulled off his boots, dumping water onto the stone roof below. 313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8FtZQtqtS
“We’re moving” 313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7wYqe2ARZ
He froze and looked up at his mother who clipped up a small quilt. 313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3A14cj9622
“Your father found a job in Peru…it’ll help us” 313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZH9j0vldTS
She looked to Cory who stared, baffled. “Why…”313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAaxvFavLs
She smiled gently, the slight sight of her canines just barely there.313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnxuZFtPdB
It was shocking how she still looked the same after so many years, and especially after giving birth to Cory. 313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoehWn6fvRe
Cory was basically a freak accident, or a miracle as his mother thought it. 313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQiVISrBlI
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. 313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1I81JhgAJ
Upon her having the ability to give birth, that child would have to live through many, many decades alone and immortal. 313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39aSfhkNvq
A Daylighter. 313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYaaUDShKL
Cory closed his eyes to take a deep breath, His mother pulled him into a hug. 313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TqAWctZPc
“I love you, Cory”
“Well…it’s not much- but it’ll do” 313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BX0TalHf9
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. 313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwks0jvcH1S
“Where’s dad?” 313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7GUqEaMDS
“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. 313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7G3ILY5TSU
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. 313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEmfosoUJy
“Do not yell at me young man. We moved so we could get better.” She snapped. 313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMx2Cyx6zj8
“This…this is worse.” He sobbed and slammed open the rickety wooden door as he ran out the house. 313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPlx3H0oxL
“CORY” 313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2wvPA9Qv7
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. 313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJCAKv1Ocv
He wasn’t scared, he lost the ability to feel terror when he lived in London, always on the run, hiding from bad men. 313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8DAZRBcIw
A small boy emerged from a bush a basket of fruit in hand, his eyes scanned the darkness before meeting Cory’s, something flickered. 313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmnXT9WfrI
“Are you alright?” 313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2rq03WdHW
Cory frowned and nodded, the boy shared a similar frown…but one made of pity.313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRO2CYk5F7z
“Here” 313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9gSG0MxML
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. 313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvbY9In9h6
“Thank you” 313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6bfD3qoqJ
the boy nodded and gestured to the spot next to him, Cory nodded and the boy sat down. 313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6BrbLuw5k
“I’m Riven…”313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANj32JmA53
“Cory” He replied in between bites of the ripe pear. 313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbLlZkC4Rk
It was sweet and juicy…almost like something he’d never had before, which was true.313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGoaRyL5u7f
“How old are you?” 313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qW1quKmff
“13..”313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu28IbtxhP3
Riven blinked and pulled his knees to his chest, “what about you?” Cory inquired. 313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyjw2dH8nb
“10”
Moquegua, Peru. March, 1821.
Cory shoved Riven gently as they walked through the woods picking fruit from trees. 313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52NMZIYToF
“I think I’m gonna leave Peru” 313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkn69r0RZdt
Riven gave him a look. 313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdHiLllTiW
“What? How?” 313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUi3WR5Elo
Cory kicked a rock gently and took a bite of a pear. 313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8An7nA7ev
“There’s a train leaving tonight, I’m gonna get on through the baggage area” he said, Riven frowned.313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dKaxweDqE
“You’re going to smuggle yourself out of Peru? Have fun with that.” 313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SCtwmy9jQ
Cory stopped in his tracks and grabbed Riven’s arm. The basket fell. 313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGoaUSfaxA
“Riv…I want you to go with me” 313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw288f2BITJ
Riven stared in shock before pulling from Cory’s grasp and picking up the fruits. 313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKYNvG443D
“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. 313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wxYiImLYo
Cory sighed.313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3f5MRMMQJs
“Then we can leave after it happens.”313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyX4picIPtS
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. 313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrybztMzL7
It was silent for a few moments and Cory stared at the ground, guilty. 313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlepOB3BtJ
“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.” 313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslRXZ2zXzR
Cory stared at him being taking a sharp breath and turning, Riven eyed him as Cory walked away disappearing amongst the bushes and trees. 313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89XLbSyRSe
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRewBNHD5I5
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’.313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkgt0otNVv
He looked around before spotting Riven “Cory” His eyes flickered with multiple emotions at once, fear, anger, anxiety.313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANnUjArZtw
“Don’t do this, please. Mama needs you and me by her side…” 313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIYEL2r7kN
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. 313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZPaSqAZmr
“No, she needs peace and quiet.” He snapped, the train whistled and Riven’s eyes widened. 313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IkLw1cpxo
“No, Cory please!” 313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLRXidL60H
“Hey! THEIF” 313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKbpUjnrVc
“Either join me, or run.” Cory spat, Riven hesitated but shook his head with a small scoff and ran. 313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydJCdcCKiK
Cory shoved himself into the bag as the police men chased him, he was getting out of here. 313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iEQyDFaGV
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKoloRKfYdb
Manhattan, New York. August, 1824
“Cory! Look!” 313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAl8C15zMFd
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. 313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWn7YwXiMhi
“This is more then yesterday!” She cheered, he raised an eyebrow. 313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ngDQOnY9g
“No way!” He chuckled, she grinned and kissed him gently over the counter. 313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirIxVT4zCv
“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. 313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64GRuZtDnZ
She flipped the sign on the door and locked it, Cory smiled as she dragged him up the stairs towards their apartment. 313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPe8NgJROEY
“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.313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz50sRLDPBb
When they entered the room, she spun “happy birthday!” She cheered, three people looked towards him with wide grins. 313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIie7Efhc1A
Cory broke into a smile. 313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrf2FVsHjt
“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. 313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2dAKMu4eO
24 years… he’d been through so much through those years. 313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuFux9Ifl7
He cried and grieved, he stole, he lied, he moved, he made friends, he left friends, he fell in love…hard in love…313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtklzmWkqd
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. 313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHcp6hJ2IO
“We all pitched in, we hope you like it” 313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEr0dqQaJj
He tore the paper and Gasped, inside a small rectangular box sat a broach on a sliver chain. 313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdaXlSqkAO
It was a small rose set into Amber with a silver lace patterned trim, his mother had something similar…313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96JXFUrKCF
“Where did you get this?”313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMgNvSNwEN
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. 313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3bKUS75nD
He stared at her, his eyes fluttering in a daze before he smiled gently. 313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3xxezk3Ef
“Thank you…guys, this is…this is amazing”
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UzORcEakD
Aisha sniffled as her breath quivered and she gripped Cory’s hand tightly. 313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTczBqTKa4
“I love you so much” 313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZEc8HeX1u
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. 313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6b5nedi0d
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. 313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElchFlCy8n
He was starting to think that the curse that had been placed on him was a miracle, he could do anything he wanted.313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzUfQfyxS8
Go anywhere he wanted, see what happens in the future. 313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmYWSW771e

California, America. October, 1980. 313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03ToxbxWrs
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLWr0VcuoO
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. 313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLeefv9pYvI
“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. 313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZknXVx1L2A
“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. 313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6IBTzPxQs
“Right, Cory the ever aspiring grandpa” he joked, Cory rolled his eyes. 313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcdpazXDgE
“Who you calling Grandpa, last I checked I was paying you” he teased, Tristan laughed and ruffled Cory’s hair. 313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZCLCurT1n
“Good point, I don’t plan on losing that pay anytime soon” 313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIseFifUXnR
“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. 313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14j8AKJOSG
Tristan rolled his eyes. 313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNLvY1YJcT
“I’m getting better” 313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yDf6rCrhj
“Say that to Greg, poor thing got his jaw busted cus’a’you” Dean groaned, Tristan sighed and Cory smirked. 313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLPUsYR6eT
“Now, now let’s not start any fights. We’re here to have fun, remember?” 313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxueFi1NMh
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. 313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEZ41TdwkD
Guitar strings were strummed, followed by the bass and drums. 313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSTzg1WtNv
Cory sang low and quiet as the first few notes were slow and thoughtful. 313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBoBznxNkXv
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. 313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqz2dITjziO
“That was fucking amazing!” 313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh46Hu94VdJ
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. 313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eVxtsa1YQ
He could never ask for a better life, he knew this was what everyone wanted…but he was starting to get tired of it. 313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMwgZErM3t
He’d been around since 1802 for fucks sake…313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QCn2puZo8
“hey” 313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4acmdqgAuL
he glanced up, meeting a tall man’s eyes. 313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtPWdI0bwP
“Remember me? Peru, 1821?” 313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2BQB8c7aH
Cory shivered and stood, “oh my god…Riv” 313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11C6gtcd5w
Riv smiled “been a while, wanna talk?” Cory grinned. 313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Jqt4OFYwQ
“Why not.”313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5IW7XP2Hw
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…
