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. 225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7iviw8sgk
“Hey”225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0eKR3MeDc7
He glanced up meeting eyes with a taller man in a suit, hands his in his pockets. 225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYiuxcXOQy
“Remember me? Peru, 1821…”225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBZxI8iPj7
Cory shivered and stood, “oh my god, Riv”
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpkToVcHsn
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. 225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwgpMuSR7e
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. 225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WOZ6Rblpp
“Cory, are you stealing again?” 225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtIZr2OOhw
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. 225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0WjxQQj9j
“Sorry mama…” he apologized, she sighed and ruffled his dark hair. 225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lBi969xkp
“I’ve some news” 225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjOy7eicH8
He sat down and pulled off his boots, dumping water onto the stone roof below. 225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvNzbC86RW
“We’re moving” 225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGTAopsbeC
He froze and looked up at his mother who clipped up a small quilt. 225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNvhQJXZlQ
“Your father found a job in Peru…it’ll help us” 225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGWMUJTymh
She looked to Cory who stared, baffled. “Why…”225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrIvSG9MXE
She smiled gently, the slight sight of her canines just barely there.225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hfziyxftv
It was shocking how she still looked the same after so many years, and especially after giving birth to Cory. 225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxq0pTk9vV
Cory was basically a freak accident, or a miracle as his mother thought it. 225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSD9pRjbtTF
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. 225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUadvRJtC4
Upon her having the ability to give birth, that child would have to live through many, many decades alone and immortal. 225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxnnZRbMTe
A Daylighter. 225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DcYRRAaYd
Cory closed his eyes to take a deep breath, His mother pulled him into a hug. 225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrO0spR5lV
“I love you, Cory”
“Well…it’s not much- but it’ll do” 225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeE3bRGgCGV
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. 225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZG02LN65cP
“Where’s dad?” 225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRrE7T8we7
“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. 225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lk0AZDsq7
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. 225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxBo8cJn6u
“Do not yell at me young man. We moved so we could get better.” She snapped. 225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAXdyELL8f
“This…this is worse.” He sobbed and slammed open the rickety wooden door as he ran out the house. 225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbwibC3awW
“CORY” 225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wK6pKgmUf
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. 225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKr5UPBSQJe
He wasn’t scared, he lost the ability to feel terror when he lived in London, always on the run, hiding from bad men. 225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKw6OzEamrq
A small boy emerged from a bush a basket of fruit in hand, his eyes scanned the darkness before meeting Cory’s, something flickered. 225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31VigymZLr
“Are you alright?” 225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkE9VaPz8Rg
Cory frowned and nodded, the boy shared a similar frown…but one made of pity.225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3HmxKAfpy
“Here” 225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Oj8sTsW6S
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. 225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bLLo3K9Sq
“Thank you” 225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ogy0L1dry
the boy nodded and gestured to the spot next to him, Cory nodded and the boy sat down. 225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrV4bcmapsI
“I’m Riven…”225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwPdcRlSje
“Cory” He replied in between bites of the ripe pear. 225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOmpiLSRZX
It was sweet and juicy…almost like something he’d never had before, which was true.225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YssJFPK99
“How old are you?” 225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVvAwDOaaP
“13..”225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozxD1xTQle
Riven blinked and pulled his knees to his chest, “what about you?” Cory inquired. 225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAnxOnB2je
“10”
Moquegua, Peru. March, 1821.
Cory shoved Riven gently as they walked through the woods picking fruit from trees. 225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwoQK5QOXV
“I think I’m gonna leave Peru” 225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMiq3pezfG6
Riven gave him a look. 225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFZQYVyg2j
“What? How?” 225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlmSX8RyBn
Cory kicked a rock gently and took a bite of a pear. 225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAysOHrmcI
“There’s a train leaving tonight, I’m gonna get on through the baggage area” he said, Riven frowned.225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZ7yBWoZD0
“You’re going to smuggle yourself out of Peru? Have fun with that.” 225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeib32vXv8f
Cory stopped in his tracks and grabbed Riven’s arm. The basket fell. 225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUPtuoKpXi
“Riv…I want you to go with me” 225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXffkCQkXkJ
Riven stared in shock before pulling from Cory’s grasp and picking up the fruits. 225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzW4KIi2c8
“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. 225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaq1ZNGycZ
Cory sighed.225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqy8099OjA
“Then we can leave after it happens.”225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahuGFM4srJ
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. 225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlWdHQFP17
It was silent for a few moments and Cory stared at the ground, guilty. 225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHM938gfuG
“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.” 225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlZUBcVIGk
Cory stared at him being taking a sharp breath and turning, Riven eyed him as Cory walked away disappearing amongst the bushes and trees. 225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpTwMHFXgT
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6IDVK4j9h
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’.225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI118ZIP8sJ
He looked around before spotting Riven “Cory” His eyes flickered with multiple emotions at once, fear, anger, anxiety.225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0YdpdCHS4
“Don’t do this, please. Mama needs you and me by her side…” 225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2oFGgRHAU
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. 225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IKGlhN2pw
“No, she needs peace and quiet.” He snapped, the train whistled and Riven’s eyes widened. 225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoM4FT1tdno
“No, Cory please!” 225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhQNW6T1ZK
“Hey! THEIF” 225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlOeGZ3KdT
“Either join me, or run.” Cory spat, Riven hesitated but shook his head with a small scoff and ran. 225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AcF7pZRVt
Cory shoved himself into the bag as the police men chased him, he was getting out of here. 225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlhxrSCic1
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlOrVFMIaY
Manhattan, New York. August, 1824
“Cory! Look!” 225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSXYfkgtV5
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. 225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfjP14YEWI
“This is more then yesterday!” She cheered, he raised an eyebrow. 225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLL7Asv8ZAF
“No way!” He chuckled, she grinned and kissed him gently over the counter. 225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zGQpcQo83
“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. 225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0911ZoQUtg
She flipped the sign on the door and locked it, Cory smiled as she dragged him up the stairs towards their apartment. 225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdzzUAHLCw
“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.225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpzzqvDKzR
When they entered the room, she spun “happy birthday!” She cheered, three people looked towards him with wide grins. 225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PAmKiGWfj
Cory broke into a smile. 225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOI2Mo5bxzY
“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. 225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3gYaMlxbx
24 years… he’d been through so much through those years. 225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBnkEdyvt5
He cried and grieved, he stole, he lied, he moved, he made friends, he left friends, he fell in love…hard in love…225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5GdEXBpjM
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. 225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0UqCQmUyH
“We all pitched in, we hope you like it” 225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6nq6bM9Ir
He tore the paper and Gasped, inside a small rectangular box sat a broach on a sliver chain. 225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKpORKQQAj
It was a small rose set into Amber with a silver lace patterned trim, his mother had something similar…225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsMq5HAZMG
“Where did you get this?”225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHilTF6Gwz7
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. 225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxw6X9VX4uB
He stared at her, his eyes fluttering in a daze before he smiled gently. 225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvjGVHyVQc
“Thank you…guys, this is…this is amazing”
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡer20Rvkkgi
Aisha sniffled as her breath quivered and she gripped Cory’s hand tightly. 225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKgDKttNtP
“I love you so much” 225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOuIQXDbyl
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. 225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlscORb72b0
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. 225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTrwC33qhe
He was starting to think that the curse that had been placed on him was a miracle, he could do anything he wanted.225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTpSu4bTS9
Go anywhere he wanted, see what happens in the future. 225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljwDa1jIQ5

California, America. October, 1980. 225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXL2pLgubf2
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXx5ix5jTu
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. 225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VBSSccdjN
“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. 225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbTRNcoIfu
“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. 225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DUeMmu72v
“Right, Cory the ever aspiring grandpa” he joked, Cory rolled his eyes. 225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADysv9yRHG
“Who you calling Grandpa, last I checked I was paying you” he teased, Tristan laughed and ruffled Cory’s hair. 225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVG3LCw04Ua
“Good point, I don’t plan on losing that pay anytime soon” 225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5aXjpxc0oP
“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. 225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5cHItslBz
Tristan rolled his eyes. 225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2b9e4HfI3w
“I’m getting better” 225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCWCx816tu
“Say that to Greg, poor thing got his jaw busted cus’a’you” Dean groaned, Tristan sighed and Cory smirked. 225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHxZ528Qy3
“Now, now let’s not start any fights. We’re here to have fun, remember?” 225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0uWMrz9aX
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. 225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesF7pFHXq8
Guitar strings were strummed, followed by the bass and drums. 225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0CFarJYu0
Cory sang low and quiet as the first few notes were slow and thoughtful. 225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymMJxGvDuR
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. 225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJrWMkIKWQ
“That was fucking amazing!” 225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8rAdTT0Zj
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. 225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87m3xtkeZK
He could never ask for a better life, he knew this was what everyone wanted…but he was starting to get tired of it. 225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNNuvNeLLk
He’d been around since 1802 for fucks sake…225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtchndFFkL
“hey” 225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpiFFS7K0P
he glanced up, meeting a tall man’s eyes. 225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡah8R2pri44
“Remember me? Peru, 1821?” 225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGNUg5FC3a
Cory shivered and stood, “oh my god…Riv” 225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTO4RaNYu7
Riv smiled “been a while, wanna talk?” Cory grinned. 225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQAQHiEEWS
“Why not.”225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHl66kLWwQ
