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. 289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiOUlptkLO
“Hey”289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUUmioYt3e
He glanced up meeting eyes with a taller man in a suit, hands his in his pockets. 289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡut6WD3JySS
“Remember me? Peru, 1821…”289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJkgEa4H54
Cory shivered and stood, “oh my god, Riv”
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXda8H8abem
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. 289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjP08jM5Xo
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. 289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcER8s5I7B4
“Cory, are you stealing again?” 289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS427VxDkpc
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. 289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLEO3GuUQF
“Sorry mama…” he apologized, she sighed and ruffled his dark hair. 289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9HxJyFx4s
“I’ve some news” 289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckG6IVpOxF
He sat down and pulled off his boots, dumping water onto the stone roof below. 289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXyXuiUV01
“We’re moving” 289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQ5SLTFSWN
He froze and looked up at his mother who clipped up a small quilt. 289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBEOFUKmzP
“Your father found a job in Peru…it’ll help us” 289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZjuiLN2zE
She looked to Cory who stared, baffled. “Why…”289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhQGNwDnHQ
She smiled gently, the slight sight of her canines just barely there.289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvKdFzGZFN
It was shocking how she still looked the same after so many years, and especially after giving birth to Cory. 289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡneSsH3GndL
Cory was basically a freak accident, or a miracle as his mother thought it. 289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcgzKMO3Hq
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. 289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98XJmnsb4q
Upon her having the ability to give birth, that child would have to live through many, many decades alone and immortal. 289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdvljvOiEE
A Daylighter. 289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnL7v0di249
Cory closed his eyes to take a deep breath, His mother pulled him into a hug. 289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMqfaiPn7U
“I love you, Cory”
“Well…it’s not much- but it’ll do” 289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVLyBUWHRi
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. 289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MZrJl3mEP
“Where’s dad?” 289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDKqy4quW5
“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. 289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7OfTqaZve
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. 289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNLHaORswi
“Do not yell at me young man. We moved so we could get better.” She snapped. 289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZaHlp34ptD
“This…this is worse.” He sobbed and slammed open the rickety wooden door as he ran out the house. 289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlm4c9ugwDz
“CORY” 289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyHzDoHNmQ
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. 289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEokHSdAzl2
He wasn’t scared, he lost the ability to feel terror when he lived in London, always on the run, hiding from bad men. 289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhk76vuhVv2
A small boy emerged from a bush a basket of fruit in hand, his eyes scanned the darkness before meeting Cory’s, something flickered. 289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHaCtVFoSp7
“Are you alright?” 289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUIB8IeAhu
Cory frowned and nodded, the boy shared a similar frown…but one made of pity.289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPZARrLujn
“Here” 289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLx0vgULSF
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. 289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdviti5j0yj
“Thank you” 289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBI3bSiTiI6
the boy nodded and gestured to the spot next to him, Cory nodded and the boy sat down. 289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKEChMU0Ee
“I’m Riven…”289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJGjaMReIe
“Cory” He replied in between bites of the ripe pear. 289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKbd0T5XXJ
It was sweet and juicy…almost like something he’d never had before, which was true.289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0E4XScOLrr
“How old are you?” 289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSpO0RU5CY
“13..”289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisosQi71JH
Riven blinked and pulled his knees to his chest, “what about you?” Cory inquired. 289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvftIpI8YDi
“10”
Moquegua, Peru. March, 1821.
Cory shoved Riven gently as they walked through the woods picking fruit from trees. 289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwJW65GY9Q
“I think I’m gonna leave Peru” 289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDIBdQWDtI
Riven gave him a look. 289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3pnD3lovu
“What? How?” 289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvH5Fd3AoOm
Cory kicked a rock gently and took a bite of a pear. 289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNDJAjPxDi
“There’s a train leaving tonight, I’m gonna get on through the baggage area” he said, Riven frowned.289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2pjJXrvf4
“You’re going to smuggle yourself out of Peru? Have fun with that.” 289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4Ml9AyR0k
Cory stopped in his tracks and grabbed Riven’s arm. The basket fell. 289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnr3KzHk3VW
“Riv…I want you to go with me” 289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeZ2XxcSSP
Riven stared in shock before pulling from Cory’s grasp and picking up the fruits. 289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstHfnLn3m7
“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. 289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2dOtXACmn
Cory sighed.289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzBXIdOF7j
“Then we can leave after it happens.”289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpzTyUGSpC
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. 289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DOUEdDuB8
It was silent for a few moments and Cory stared at the ground, guilty. 289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVMQmvGZL4
“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.” 289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDqqLOk8XK
Cory stared at him being taking a sharp breath and turning, Riven eyed him as Cory walked away disappearing amongst the bushes and trees. 289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1XWDTeb2b
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG852ILM9Nt
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’.289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpT6dSZ4QPA
He looked around before spotting Riven “Cory” His eyes flickered with multiple emotions at once, fear, anger, anxiety.289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4RTG125u0
“Don’t do this, please. Mama needs you and me by her side…” 289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIyjbFWyHr
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. 289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr872bz3sGG
“No, she needs peace and quiet.” He snapped, the train whistled and Riven’s eyes widened. 289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwga1M2n0P
“No, Cory please!” 289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsoZUF6moS
“Hey! THEIF” 289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZoALcNfuta
“Either join me, or run.” Cory spat, Riven hesitated but shook his head with a small scoff and ran. 289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBB8O1dM2Dy
Cory shoved himself into the bag as the police men chased him, he was getting out of here. 289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qG3ac3vU1
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEavtM7EKN
Manhattan, New York. August, 1824
“Cory! Look!” 289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mPKLu688p
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. 289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjdnbzxrLs
“This is more then yesterday!” She cheered, he raised an eyebrow. 289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjCk39zsNS
“No way!” He chuckled, she grinned and kissed him gently over the counter. 289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREAOZhL2Q8
“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. 289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcM7VJYWnO
She flipped the sign on the door and locked it, Cory smiled as she dragged him up the stairs towards their apartment. 289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw83qBpkR8R
“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.289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5CssGrLsW
When they entered the room, she spun “happy birthday!” She cheered, three people looked towards him with wide grins. 289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOZ6qALWm3
Cory broke into a smile. 289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBC8tjZaXh6
“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. 289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TXJErQ4DB
24 years… he’d been through so much through those years. 289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7cOYHF0jx
He cried and grieved, he stole, he lied, he moved, he made friends, he left friends, he fell in love…hard in love…289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcvvJMaWFU
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. 289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdopsnXMdg
“We all pitched in, we hope you like it” 289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLmonO3HsM
He tore the paper and Gasped, inside a small rectangular box sat a broach on a sliver chain. 289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvo989tiIs
It was a small rose set into Amber with a silver lace patterned trim, his mother had something similar…289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AlFuicNmz
“Where did you get this?”289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZaRE2fJb6N
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. 289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SYur1ZeNZ
He stared at her, his eyes fluttering in a daze before he smiled gently. 289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cjov8iJ5e
“Thank you…guys, this is…this is amazing”
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCoYRxBAVL
Aisha sniffled as her breath quivered and she gripped Cory’s hand tightly. 289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqRzXl8dMQ
“I love you so much” 289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoAXimBiJS
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. 289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡec80SLvJMl
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. 289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NnQYKpouZ
He was starting to think that the curse that had been placed on him was a miracle, he could do anything he wanted.289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrZXWEMs8V
Go anywhere he wanted, see what happens in the future. 289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXF90HRVWI

California, America. October, 1980. 289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AhOMeysdi
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbEfPO0XXj
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. 289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaryulWhMkG
“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. 289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1fjZi45Y3
“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. 289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZBSfROKxf
“Right, Cory the ever aspiring grandpa” he joked, Cory rolled his eyes. 289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIOG4xrQYV
“Who you calling Grandpa, last I checked I was paying you” he teased, Tristan laughed and ruffled Cory’s hair. 289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpSd8xsjXq
“Good point, I don’t plan on losing that pay anytime soon” 289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjaJj1F3pq
“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. 289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYlMgKUX31
Tristan rolled his eyes. 289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfeYnUNBsbL
“I’m getting better” 289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZ9SMwTFRD
“Say that to Greg, poor thing got his jaw busted cus’a’you” Dean groaned, Tristan sighed and Cory smirked. 289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwTEW3TqRG
“Now, now let’s not start any fights. We’re here to have fun, remember?” 289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaU2JHw3qBn
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. 289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7r1X1uqcmq
Guitar strings were strummed, followed by the bass and drums. 289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKiyMwTPCg
Cory sang low and quiet as the first few notes were slow and thoughtful. 289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyp5CI05lL
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. 289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlDlSawCTW
“That was fucking amazing!” 289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡns98J5Aqf1
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. 289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1NZ55Jb1v
He could never ask for a better life, he knew this was what everyone wanted…but he was starting to get tired of it. 289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPy3BBLIc95
He’d been around since 1802 for fucks sake…289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlVBaUMcoE
“hey” 289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7n6L8UmEL
he glanced up, meeting a tall man’s eyes. 289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxGIdxRg40
“Remember me? Peru, 1821?” 289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLC1TpSpoY
Cory shivered and stood, “oh my god…Riv” 289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHY60xqwfXZ
Riv smiled “been a while, wanna talk?” Cory grinned. 289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8s8yMigL0j
“Why not.”289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5FxvwvabC
