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. 466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUzkg5rjtw
“Hey”466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHyviqEeRC
He glanced up meeting eyes with a taller man in a suit, hands his in his pockets. 466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfQ9hBPZPZ
“Remember me? Peru, 1821…”466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdlK5F6xzX
Cory shivered and stood, “oh my god, Riv”
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xz2UFBcc4
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. 466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSi3DBlhkS8
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. 466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtHfWu1grB
“Cory, are you stealing again?” 466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88mTIuvLEP
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. 466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaepijd3ud
“Sorry mama…” he apologized, she sighed and ruffled his dark hair. 466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gZd2jN8bm
“I’ve some news” 466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFy5vIpTtC
He sat down and pulled off his boots, dumping water onto the stone roof below. 466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGlaxRB52m
“We’re moving” 466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLevAlMeemw
He froze and looked up at his mother who clipped up a small quilt. 466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCjtG6QBF4
“Your father found a job in Peru…it’ll help us” 466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXZj1en7NG
She looked to Cory who stared, baffled. “Why…”466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuL4XdIN1Zs
She smiled gently, the slight sight of her canines just barely there.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqfr9Zne5i
It was shocking how she still looked the same after so many years, and especially after giving birth to Cory. 466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fsBISGO8k
Cory was basically a freak accident, or a miracle as his mother thought it. 466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYpvvtnh5o
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. 466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs39rnradsw
Upon her having the ability to give birth, that child would have to live through many, many decades alone and immortal. 466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tPdN0zjcA
A Daylighter. 466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Ln9sXjwrs
Cory closed his eyes to take a deep breath, His mother pulled him into a hug. 466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90KAxAPqPC
“I love you, Cory”
“Well…it’s not much- but it’ll do” 466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgnfsEgYuF
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. 466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aU6vaY03u
“Where’s dad?” 466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMKRBA9PYs
“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. 466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdJsVEKoWJ
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. 466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93BkvKgKn8
“Do not yell at me young man. We moved so we could get better.” She snapped. 466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoI4D43NYfU
“This…this is worse.” He sobbed and slammed open the rickety wooden door as he ran out the house. 466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIsipLu6JV
“CORY” 466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEoWZHkaSmy
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. 466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27x6LpN92D
He wasn’t scared, he lost the ability to feel terror when he lived in London, always on the run, hiding from bad men. 466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSor5lOCGm
A small boy emerged from a bush a basket of fruit in hand, his eyes scanned the darkness before meeting Cory’s, something flickered. 466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRN0NLRywaa
“Are you alright?” 466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpd7apkcZv
Cory frowned and nodded, the boy shared a similar frown…but one made of pity.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUv4wgI1wis
“Here” 466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmKbw1tqfd
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. 466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzevAOPQT5o
“Thank you” 466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBjVDmlQ0v
the boy nodded and gestured to the spot next to him, Cory nodded and the boy sat down. 466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUAkswmELm
“I’m Riven…”466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRAPZ5ufc7
“Cory” He replied in between bites of the ripe pear. 466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNHWK5iHK2
It was sweet and juicy…almost like something he’d never had before, which was true.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kTU7P3sir
“How old are you?” 466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1WOHTx3Yz
“13..”466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWY5eIPF128
Riven blinked and pulled his knees to his chest, “what about you?” Cory inquired. 466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0tcijzWOx
“10”
Moquegua, Peru. March, 1821.
Cory shoved Riven gently as they walked through the woods picking fruit from trees. 466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuajqMTjlc2
“I think I’m gonna leave Peru” 466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMlDUWIcF1
Riven gave him a look. 466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyGCm4n2WA
“What? How?” 466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqocEQWkRoQ
Cory kicked a rock gently and took a bite of a pear. 466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VlyOZvyW0
“There’s a train leaving tonight, I’m gonna get on through the baggage area” he said, Riven frowned.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTciHyVIXL
“You’re going to smuggle yourself out of Peru? Have fun with that.” 466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8FKORrzwN
Cory stopped in his tracks and grabbed Riven’s arm. The basket fell. 466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdy2KITaOz
“Riv…I want you to go with me” 466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAqOzcVFpo
Riven stared in shock before pulling from Cory’s grasp and picking up the fruits. 466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4Vv9TJcYD
“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. 466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkus4fM4ctX
Cory sighed.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vylPSiz6G
“Then we can leave after it happens.”466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8wxiFojLK
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. 466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtxs6yXYV6
It was silent for a few moments and Cory stared at the ground, guilty. 466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTH8RBg20u
“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.” 466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalmBr7kQyp
Cory stared at him being taking a sharp breath and turning, Riven eyed him as Cory walked away disappearing amongst the bushes and trees. 466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxW6wJkqOc9
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvgjJbnZGs
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’.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJ2moENrAL
He looked around before spotting Riven “Cory” His eyes flickered with multiple emotions at once, fear, anger, anxiety.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RNT6XumVx
“Don’t do this, please. Mama needs you and me by her side…” 466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WNJsxRJPg
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. 466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgj29XEizwG
“No, she needs peace and quiet.” He snapped, the train whistled and Riven’s eyes widened. 466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzDqROrNUD
“No, Cory please!” 466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgb8jq4YKlh
“Hey! THEIF” 466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0k7izvycnb
“Either join me, or run.” Cory spat, Riven hesitated but shook his head with a small scoff and ran. 466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9jE914NX5
Cory shoved himself into the bag as the police men chased him, he was getting out of here. 466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIBAWD8LWG
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXEMTEPvGO
Manhattan, New York. August, 1824
“Cory! Look!” 466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7N0e2Sp5WI
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. 466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4PIrC9xSQ
“This is more then yesterday!” She cheered, he raised an eyebrow. 466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xkqJXG3mk
“No way!” He chuckled, she grinned and kissed him gently over the counter. 466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQ0kGRkBJU
“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. 466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYD0bQVLf9
She flipped the sign on the door and locked it, Cory smiled as she dragged him up the stairs towards their apartment. 466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSZSunPoQi
“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.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgDYjpwEhO
When they entered the room, she spun “happy birthday!” She cheered, three people looked towards him with wide grins. 466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9A2DDwlna
Cory broke into a smile. 466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aQLJfkxWF
“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. 466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktqvPW0zhw
24 years… he’d been through so much through those years. 466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEfVVfRjFJ
He cried and grieved, he stole, he lied, he moved, he made friends, he left friends, he fell in love…hard in love…466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfwu6Uigul
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. 466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hM8trJClR
“We all pitched in, we hope you like it” 466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL78gOU2Vnn
He tore the paper and Gasped, inside a small rectangular box sat a broach on a sliver chain. 466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTcZwo7Fls
It was a small rose set into Amber with a silver lace patterned trim, his mother had something similar…466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bLPU6aZB8
“Where did you get this?”466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92bxuHQ4O6
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. 466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVsKdnob65
He stared at her, his eyes fluttering in a daze before he smiled gently. 466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeseW3bevRA
“Thank you…guys, this is…this is amazing”
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytKeF20VJK
Aisha sniffled as her breath quivered and she gripped Cory’s hand tightly. 466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniHUoCzXwk
“I love you so much” 466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzWzAoMD9W
Cory held back tears, “I love you more…”
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhwQtJaLvR
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. 466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSnpxLQFpb
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. 466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZdsLWH3wa
He was starting to think that the curse that had been placed on him was a miracle, he could do anything he wanted.466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZa0d6i2Vg
Go anywhere he wanted, see what happens in the future. 466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlBiS1bXGB

California, America. October, 1980. 466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaY5HlzGJcy
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXRT6Wx9lH
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. 466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5lQzucOmk
“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. 466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOErQmix7Uf
“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. 466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0djwGcxpFK
“Right, Cory the ever aspiring grandpa” he joked, Cory rolled his eyes. 466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbGyik55bJ
“Who you calling Grandpa, last I checked I was paying you” he teased, Tristan laughed and ruffled Cory’s hair. 466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9ImAsQnNY
“Good point, I don’t plan on losing that pay anytime soon” 466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzpzd8bNqb
“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. 466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdLqmCnDyj
Tristan rolled his eyes. 466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTDC45q4z4
“I’m getting better” 466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslxiXFInma
“Say that to Greg, poor thing got his jaw busted cus’a’you” Dean groaned, Tristan sighed and Cory smirked. 466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUZcmWshCm
“Now, now let’s not start any fights. We’re here to have fun, remember?” 466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJN3xPBpca7
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. 466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ12uhcPEkh
Guitar strings were strummed, followed by the bass and drums. 466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbR7einLALj
Cory sang low and quiet as the first few notes were slow and thoughtful. 466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmOWD4XmI9
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. 466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuozDrDvGn1
“That was fucking amazing!” 466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyK3emCuD2q
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. 466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuglOjEuWy
He could never ask for a better life, he knew this was what everyone wanted…but he was starting to get tired of it. 466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKZ7NUBs9a
He’d been around since 1802 for fucks sake…466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9cdBZCTf7
“hey” 466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXbsaKUnhs
he glanced up, meeting a tall man’s eyes. 466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WWDhiCNnW
“Remember me? Peru, 1821?” 466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAjdiavcdf
Cory shivered and stood, “oh my god…Riv” 466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3guySmMUR8
Riv smiled “been a while, wanna talk?” Cory grinned. 466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJ9bkAQPt0
“Why not.”466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzo8JmjHOuD
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…
