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. 291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwga7PC0q7c
“Hey”291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNFv1KXuCq
He glanced up meeting eyes with a taller man in a suit, hands his in his pockets. 291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdo8dOcFMkm
“Remember me? Peru, 1821…”291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOaMm468hE
Cory shivered and stood, “oh my god, Riv”
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPP66mPcISt
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. 291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MgJo2lD6k
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. 291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRY7BtIIbNv
“Cory, are you stealing again?” 291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQupmWx8jo
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. 291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmWyGkgJ1N
“Sorry mama…” he apologized, she sighed and ruffled his dark hair. 291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFtat5PpyJ
“I’ve some news” 291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGeW3jCKtg
He sat down and pulled off his boots, dumping water onto the stone roof below. 291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xDBOx9jxN
“We’re moving” 291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8P10LrUNL7
He froze and looked up at his mother who clipped up a small quilt. 291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ygwO9DCPq
“Your father found a job in Peru…it’ll help us” 291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4t6urRNhH
She looked to Cory who stared, baffled. “Why…”291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwl0EKzAkKX
She smiled gently, the slight sight of her canines just barely there.291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2EtjFURUC
It was shocking how she still looked the same after so many years, and especially after giving birth to Cory. 291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqJRlKbRYb
Cory was basically a freak accident, or a miracle as his mother thought it. 291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88TLFLmGrQ
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. 291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2mwqJCBu7
Upon her having the ability to give birth, that child would have to live through many, many decades alone and immortal. 291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggzBsE7wap
A Daylighter. 291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcy7ko0v4e
Cory closed his eyes to take a deep breath, His mother pulled him into a hug. 291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iuNL9dvqh
“I love you, Cory”
“Well…it’s not much- but it’ll do” 291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAMcxi3RTH
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. 291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oj1HoLgYT
“Where’s dad?” 291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFr9lvYzfQ
“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. 291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3sxPgMdYPM
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. 291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOe23djqBu4
“Do not yell at me young man. We moved so we could get better.” She snapped. 291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgySl2WJRLf
“This…this is worse.” He sobbed and slammed open the rickety wooden door as he ran out the house. 291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20lUDerYde
“CORY” 291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyITfGjfwW
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. 291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgn0bLFar9
He wasn’t scared, he lost the ability to feel terror when he lived in London, always on the run, hiding from bad men. 291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIMkdizTtt
A small boy emerged from a bush a basket of fruit in hand, his eyes scanned the darkness before meeting Cory’s, something flickered. 291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJpiOwB8l8
“Are you alright?” 291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnqyifNm1K
Cory frowned and nodded, the boy shared a similar frown…but one made of pity.291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvAL4RKX2O
“Here” 291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9EC9mHE7v
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. 291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErgfipPRSN
“Thank you” 291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhhFwzMeGg
the boy nodded and gestured to the spot next to him, Cory nodded and the boy sat down. 291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGwYqrbKQY
“I’m Riven…”291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1W6s6XE1v
“Cory” He replied in between bites of the ripe pear. 291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuzT8rrMwv
It was sweet and juicy…almost like something he’d never had before, which was true.291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0aEx8CVaA
“How old are you?” 291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWq7vCUd31
“13..”291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhBPYvZVNg
Riven blinked and pulled his knees to his chest, “what about you?” Cory inquired. 291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyrgccUT9p
“10”
Moquegua, Peru. March, 1821.
Cory shoved Riven gently as they walked through the woods picking fruit from trees. 291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklQclZDTQK
“I think I’m gonna leave Peru” 291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekSeQF6wtG
Riven gave him a look. 291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKdsXBcSM4
“What? How?” 291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeahJeIg7u
Cory kicked a rock gently and took a bite of a pear. 291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAJiW5gv29
“There’s a train leaving tonight, I’m gonna get on through the baggage area” he said, Riven frowned.291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfzZziFJN9
“You’re going to smuggle yourself out of Peru? Have fun with that.” 291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTjH9KkIn2
Cory stopped in his tracks and grabbed Riven’s arm. The basket fell. 291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHxHEWs1eW
“Riv…I want you to go with me” 291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7ctOWC2Df
Riven stared in shock before pulling from Cory’s grasp and picking up the fruits. 291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisE1I1WXrQ
“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. 291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmO86Rxzw7
Cory sighed.291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08Q0Q8zrCa
“Then we can leave after it happens.”291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7VsZhU5xZ
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. 291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡziPJfpjk3m
It was silent for a few moments and Cory stared at the ground, guilty. 291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnuXe4RAVo
“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.” 291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XzShmGKw7
Cory stared at him being taking a sharp breath and turning, Riven eyed him as Cory walked away disappearing amongst the bushes and trees. 291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgPjch45MN
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXXMm8jmw0
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’.291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyUM1Ynnc0
He looked around before spotting Riven “Cory” His eyes flickered with multiple emotions at once, fear, anger, anxiety.291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7vagFGYWU
“Don’t do this, please. Mama needs you and me by her side…” 291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIwk2yhUE2
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. 291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOP7WHoLEx4
“No, she needs peace and quiet.” He snapped, the train whistled and Riven’s eyes widened. 291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboJGIgC1bv
“No, Cory please!” 291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzbflyi3Ss
“Hey! THEIF” 291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqNdZAw4ny
“Either join me, or run.” Cory spat, Riven hesitated but shook his head with a small scoff and ran. 291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYhCN1vhGy
Cory shoved himself into the bag as the police men chased him, he was getting out of here. 291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlFNAMzSys
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKayL2Ekq5b
Manhattan, New York. August, 1824
“Cory! Look!” 291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7u57or5Ie
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. 291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Nar2JUugt
“This is more then yesterday!” She cheered, he raised an eyebrow. 291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFA5nmybrU
“No way!” He chuckled, she grinned and kissed him gently over the counter. 291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQwEcCkhPk
“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. 291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0tBZ3Bfrl
She flipped the sign on the door and locked it, Cory smiled as she dragged him up the stairs towards their apartment. 291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhImAlTbKC
“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.291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYO2NgT194
When they entered the room, she spun “happy birthday!” She cheered, three people looked towards him with wide grins. 291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkeEcJQKpN
Cory broke into a smile. 291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrbFK2TISR
“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. 291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB35dRZOizA
24 years… he’d been through so much through those years. 291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetthbMYGS7
He cried and grieved, he stole, he lied, he moved, he made friends, he left friends, he fell in love…hard in love…291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MKCDQf2P2
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. 291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9zOqPaqUO
“We all pitched in, we hope you like it” 291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uMptP5iBj
He tore the paper and Gasped, inside a small rectangular box sat a broach on a sliver chain. 291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GxsMEVyU3
It was a small rose set into Amber with a silver lace patterned trim, his mother had something similar…291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7L3sX1Waw9
“Where did you get this?”291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwntzU2wGY
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. 291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWu5kGgy5T
He stared at her, his eyes fluttering in a daze before he smiled gently. 291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6jSjV9OtN
“Thank you…guys, this is…this is amazing”
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTtdIhOE7G
Aisha sniffled as her breath quivered and she gripped Cory’s hand tightly. 291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeahcYnD1fJ
“I love you so much” 291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHkJxkJWpp
Cory held back tears, “I love you more…”
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmsGQlvNsP
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. 291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZoGQaN80B
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. 291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzGDShcaOg
He was starting to think that the curse that had been placed on him was a miracle, he could do anything he wanted.291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDjmWiYDnE
Go anywhere he wanted, see what happens in the future. 291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4aHUDc8hMy

California, America. October, 1980. 291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhfXfA6hIo
291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTy5LWo7k3x
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. 291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5sXofGSKt
“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. 291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnsPqXjR49
“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. 291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWVyUc8zZ3
“Right, Cory the ever aspiring grandpa” he joked, Cory rolled his eyes. 291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeMFrCYNW0
“Who you calling Grandpa, last I checked I was paying you” he teased, Tristan laughed and ruffled Cory’s hair. 291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCuT4i85O8
“Good point, I don’t plan on losing that pay anytime soon” 291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTiMlPuo1g
“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. 291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEf0QofGt8A
Tristan rolled his eyes. 291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDApQ9Lz0O8
“I’m getting better” 291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYDy4nvAH0
“Say that to Greg, poor thing got his jaw busted cus’a’you” Dean groaned, Tristan sighed and Cory smirked. 291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRukoskuRWE
“Now, now let’s not start any fights. We’re here to have fun, remember?” 291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHIlFdGKBh
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. 291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLFkvyKqxl
Guitar strings were strummed, followed by the bass and drums. 291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEn4apGM3p
Cory sang low and quiet as the first few notes were slow and thoughtful. 291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJ7CZ7pkyh
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. 291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPtAUyWO80
“That was fucking amazing!” 291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCZ3RtZvqP
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. 291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA45zNatvYW
He could never ask for a better life, he knew this was what everyone wanted…but he was starting to get tired of it. 291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7JgmtH0gO
He’d been around since 1802 for fucks sake…291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HGVMMrAWG
“hey” 291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuN16lS6gEM
he glanced up, meeting a tall man’s eyes. 291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8q0OG6cVP4
“Remember me? Peru, 1821?” 291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBC67QWWpq1
Cory shivered and stood, “oh my god…Riv” 291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiq1Ty2vWkK
Riv smiled “been a while, wanna talk?” Cory grinned. 291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Nx7KCp2Ll
“Why not.”291Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDUUXpeyY5
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…
