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. 394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNluqSNbC1J
“Hey”394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbu27IAoyMS
He glanced up meeting eyes with a taller man in a suit, hands his in his pockets. 394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDtU78vviL
“Remember me? Peru, 1821…”394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ44CNZ9Oqz
Cory shivered and stood, “oh my god, Riv”
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2qX8E7ntx
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. 394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrXIlK3PHG
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. 394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqMYLwKb0C
“Cory, are you stealing again?” 394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzj245AEl4
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. 394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ntEleu9hz
“Sorry mama…” he apologized, she sighed and ruffled his dark hair. 394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIGEXkWfjQ
“I’ve some news” 394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXVm8f9Bob
He sat down and pulled off his boots, dumping water onto the stone roof below. 394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQIcVMzqAk
“We’re moving” 394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgWOC2HAqf
He froze and looked up at his mother who clipped up a small quilt. 394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WYXFwm57o
“Your father found a job in Peru…it’ll help us” 394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNukhNNFbE0
She looked to Cory who stared, baffled. “Why…”394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIoVFESnWP
She smiled gently, the slight sight of her canines just barely there.394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQs0nl2r4u
It was shocking how she still looked the same after so many years, and especially after giving birth to Cory. 394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRW1p0HGBmg
Cory was basically a freak accident, or a miracle as his mother thought it. 394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBGaXNlygf
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. 394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAhklRJYAO
Upon her having the ability to give birth, that child would have to live through many, many decades alone and immortal. 394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9lM9egtlZ
A Daylighter. 394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDYvHQcLcS
Cory closed his eyes to take a deep breath, His mother pulled him into a hug. 394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zVEA5Ji25
“I love you, Cory”
“Well…it’s not much- but it’ll do” 394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpxRkCBqat
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. 394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WOZaqUpMr
“Where’s dad?” 394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSjatvxYYj
“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. 394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bOrRICdiy
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. 394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrdYCcaVBJ
“Do not yell at me young man. We moved so we could get better.” She snapped. 394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVF61qZFSC
“This…this is worse.” He sobbed and slammed open the rickety wooden door as he ran out the house. 394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3H1RCNZOYg
“CORY” 394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6mOFQJKXn
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. 394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC36DDMgsks
He wasn’t scared, he lost the ability to feel terror when he lived in London, always on the run, hiding from bad men. 394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFIprrxf3O
A small boy emerged from a bush a basket of fruit in hand, his eyes scanned the darkness before meeting Cory’s, something flickered. 394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrHdc36rA7
“Are you alright?” 394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jh6loZ7Zl
Cory frowned and nodded, the boy shared a similar frown…but one made of pity.394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6e7xsHHDth
“Here” 394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kAwV12m6V
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. 394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjM4xT3tDK8
“Thank you” 394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWRwSSMGwp
the boy nodded and gestured to the spot next to him, Cory nodded and the boy sat down. 394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdSqpvV3DZ
“I’m Riven…”394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAl9AHIZjao
“Cory” He replied in between bites of the ripe pear. 394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnJFNJqD0U
It was sweet and juicy…almost like something he’d never had before, which was true.394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiDcUKO2VD
“How old are you?” 394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYDedmmG51
“13..”394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtxfceOBvM
Riven blinked and pulled his knees to his chest, “what about you?” Cory inquired. 394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUrwHUKJTZ
“10”
Moquegua, Peru. March, 1821.
Cory shoved Riven gently as they walked through the woods picking fruit from trees. 394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYRRflinwI
“I think I’m gonna leave Peru” 394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwlsecvdaY
Riven gave him a look. 394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GOrIuWiuC
“What? How?” 394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHZBMlGofR
Cory kicked a rock gently and took a bite of a pear. 394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOl574d7vM
“There’s a train leaving tonight, I’m gonna get on through the baggage area” he said, Riven frowned.394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4gAyHmH1Y
“You’re going to smuggle yourself out of Peru? Have fun with that.” 394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdA4Nh16pS
Cory stopped in his tracks and grabbed Riven’s arm. The basket fell. 394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4q0ExvsXg
“Riv…I want you to go with me” 394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZQIHSd6gp
Riven stared in shock before pulling from Cory’s grasp and picking up the fruits. 394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBrjFJXb4A
“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. 394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LrXisJIfD
Cory sighed.394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tRzYy5jxq
“Then we can leave after it happens.”394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMzhLSYkPx
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. 394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1PR5UH5QB
It was silent for a few moments and Cory stared at the ground, guilty. 394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjUOzp6SaF
“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.” 394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxtXnpq3SF
Cory stared at him being taking a sharp breath and turning, Riven eyed him as Cory walked away disappearing amongst the bushes and trees. 394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsaBYq0XhAt
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgbV74aW7P
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’.394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7SHJ1iVCs
He looked around before spotting Riven “Cory” His eyes flickered with multiple emotions at once, fear, anger, anxiety.394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyM4h8aPMfw
“Don’t do this, please. Mama needs you and me by her side…” 394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWdPZUSB0Q
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. 394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKu7ajsgE3u
“No, she needs peace and quiet.” He snapped, the train whistled and Riven’s eyes widened. 394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡroWfAWhkIT
“No, Cory please!” 394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrDTpouaTs
“Hey! THEIF” 394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpArRy55xH
“Either join me, or run.” Cory spat, Riven hesitated but shook his head with a small scoff and ran. 394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfVXnShRiR
Cory shoved himself into the bag as the police men chased him, he was getting out of here. 394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdLRbQ4gwx
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrFksdivBW
Manhattan, New York. August, 1824
“Cory! Look!” 394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd14c6L1nGJ
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. 394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHfmE0hohj
“This is more then yesterday!” She cheered, he raised an eyebrow. 394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXmjjz9KSR
“No way!” He chuckled, she grinned and kissed him gently over the counter. 394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFONCdP1rGy
“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. 394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjkucsXScy
She flipped the sign on the door and locked it, Cory smiled as she dragged him up the stairs towards their apartment. 394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4PnKPhFHj
“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.394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzW81pVEdNN
When they entered the room, she spun “happy birthday!” She cheered, three people looked towards him with wide grins. 394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNEDyeCz3Q
Cory broke into a smile. 394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4iiaieNdr
“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. 394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoZiawqtxg
24 years… he’d been through so much through those years. 394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngnVh9gXPG
He cried and grieved, he stole, he lied, he moved, he made friends, he left friends, he fell in love…hard in love…394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BwzqzTg2O
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. 394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvuGnBmJbe
“We all pitched in, we hope you like it” 394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RThHWLZMn
He tore the paper and Gasped, inside a small rectangular box sat a broach on a sliver chain. 394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyGkPAW8PK
It was a small rose set into Amber with a silver lace patterned trim, his mother had something similar…394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmK50y9WsI
“Where did you get this?”394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDfUfXy1Lu
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. 394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEoKpvagUG
He stared at her, his eyes fluttering in a daze before he smiled gently. 394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQKL2pT3me
“Thank you…guys, this is…this is amazing”
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2yzWzoRVB
Aisha sniffled as her breath quivered and she gripped Cory’s hand tightly. 394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsuCzwkupY
“I love you so much” 394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSq4Y29AC7z
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. 394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tNu5Rs2Ot
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. 394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAZ6tI7Lvg
He was starting to think that the curse that had been placed on him was a miracle, he could do anything he wanted.394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFuPg0E0AC
Go anywhere he wanted, see what happens in the future. 394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB40CZY7ylq

California, America. October, 1980. 394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH54oJjNdLs
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbHv318OBu
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. 394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdggIytGEDw
“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. 394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6amW0IgLwR
“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. 394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zDjcYhZ1s
“Right, Cory the ever aspiring grandpa” he joked, Cory rolled his eyes. 394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVwUv9BJqK
“Who you calling Grandpa, last I checked I was paying you” he teased, Tristan laughed and ruffled Cory’s hair. 394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqm7zByRaU
“Good point, I don’t plan on losing that pay anytime soon” 394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3t8Tnkjka4
“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. 394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nnp5cWW8E
Tristan rolled his eyes. 394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq59kKsYGqK
“I’m getting better” 394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqa995vRzI
“Say that to Greg, poor thing got his jaw busted cus’a’you” Dean groaned, Tristan sighed and Cory smirked. 394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFQgGSWuXS
“Now, now let’s not start any fights. We’re here to have fun, remember?” 394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZ3gfSmq3I
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. 394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jc0tIy5wI
Guitar strings were strummed, followed by the bass and drums. 394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FFxPsYgdF
Cory sang low and quiet as the first few notes were slow and thoughtful. 394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRRr6WWAoC
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. 394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPXGL1uuv8
“That was fucking amazing!” 394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYQBX3d8Ka
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. 394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99EtjMPiKi
He could never ask for a better life, he knew this was what everyone wanted…but he was starting to get tired of it. 394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGC5KCDZW1
He’d been around since 1802 for fucks sake…394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbo8oGKa5xQ
“hey” 394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgb9yHkn6Ng
he glanced up, meeting a tall man’s eyes. 394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIRhQYCaS4
“Remember me? Peru, 1821?” 394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbhvvqckQE
Cory shivered and stood, “oh my god…Riv” 394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIyzIMaVqZ
