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. 459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsXncGzRgH
“Hey”459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkqNOh813g
He glanced up meeting eyes with a taller man in a suit, hands his in his pockets. 459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkGBdsGKrq
“Remember me? Peru, 1821…”459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9ugz3xJwf
Cory shivered and stood, “oh my god, Riv”
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLkq2RQQbu
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. 459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UalBUY7aZ
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. 459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9kdbkWHgv
“Cory, are you stealing again?” 459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6gRgQNlDW
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. 459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrsp9dhWG1
“Sorry mama…” he apologized, she sighed and ruffled his dark hair. 459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIz5TWh6Sz0
“I’ve some news” 459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVDWkbpbbr
He sat down and pulled off his boots, dumping water onto the stone roof below. 459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIR4pbdtLhM
“We’re moving” 459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NNeknMz9q
He froze and looked up at his mother who clipped up a small quilt. 459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHM5dIdAukB
“Your father found a job in Peru…it’ll help us” 459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqbJUv7ico
She looked to Cory who stared, baffled. “Why…”459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yHUHLO6RH
She smiled gently, the slight sight of her canines just barely there.459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkb0hCXKeib
It was shocking how she still looked the same after so many years, and especially after giving birth to Cory. 459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMar2DFK9xX
Cory was basically a freak accident, or a miracle as his mother thought it. 459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡweN6E3Bhvq
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. 459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0DX0Gu7Ua
Upon her having the ability to give birth, that child would have to live through many, many decades alone and immortal. 459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Ij6WX24cf
A Daylighter. 459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNgK6Rcp5P
Cory closed his eyes to take a deep breath, His mother pulled him into a hug. 459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSn2dPPaEW
“I love you, Cory”
“Well…it’s not much- but it’ll do” 459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0ExChkWrB
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. 459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqDtlYzLua
“Where’s dad?” 459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKThO72uNH
“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. 459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05yII5waQx
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. 459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdR9i9uYr8
“Do not yell at me young man. We moved so we could get better.” She snapped. 459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtRLPOtsH0
“This…this is worse.” He sobbed and slammed open the rickety wooden door as he ran out the house. 459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxJsXJ86Ao
“CORY” 459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5A43z4mnU
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. 459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHjMq3xdis
He wasn’t scared, he lost the ability to feel terror when he lived in London, always on the run, hiding from bad men. 459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsaH3UW9Vd
A small boy emerged from a bush a basket of fruit in hand, his eyes scanned the darkness before meeting Cory’s, something flickered. 459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1rw8nTOs0
“Are you alright?” 459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3fALGwGvE
Cory frowned and nodded, the boy shared a similar frown…but one made of pity.459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhsXntgzxo
“Here” 459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkAONXS0Wd
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. 459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYR6x2obba5
“Thank you” 459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDkTEjmi72
the boy nodded and gestured to the spot next to him, Cory nodded and the boy sat down. 459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VHMvAejXW
“I’m Riven…”459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBmMMoCXQz
“Cory” He replied in between bites of the ripe pear. 459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8iThI4aUQ
It was sweet and juicy…almost like something he’d never had before, which was true.459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWL0l7apk4n
“How old are you?” 459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTT7OFDHSQ
“13..”459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7jJT48qCJ
Riven blinked and pulled his knees to his chest, “what about you?” Cory inquired. 459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8cw5xddrI
“10”
Moquegua, Peru. March, 1821.
Cory shoved Riven gently as they walked through the woods picking fruit from trees. 459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAU5M515cF
“I think I’m gonna leave Peru” 459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzfW2bA0ad
Riven gave him a look. 459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3FW0KojFA
“What? How?” 459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyW3LrDAQOU
Cory kicked a rock gently and took a bite of a pear. 459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8RSkV6Q9u
“There’s a train leaving tonight, I’m gonna get on through the baggage area” he said, Riven frowned.459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9zPkt4exM
“You’re going to smuggle yourself out of Peru? Have fun with that.” 459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjus8slicmk
Cory stopped in his tracks and grabbed Riven’s arm. The basket fell. 459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AaqeIPONW
“Riv…I want you to go with me” 459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4eoX0DNMm
Riven stared in shock before pulling from Cory’s grasp and picking up the fruits. 459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihm8BLHBqa
“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. 459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmMuQUqa0S
Cory sighed.459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xPmiM0drr
“Then we can leave after it happens.”459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgDTkARX1p
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. 459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4lHp0nnIM
It was silent for a few moments and Cory stared at the ground, guilty. 459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAf5Ng25qh
“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.” 459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowKTqxCn92
Cory stared at him being taking a sharp breath and turning, Riven eyed him as Cory walked away disappearing amongst the bushes and trees. 459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1eJ7iaHq4
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdDogwKrCU
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’.459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRR5plMyjqK
He looked around before spotting Riven “Cory” His eyes flickered with multiple emotions at once, fear, anger, anxiety.459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0GQtn0Jmr
“Don’t do this, please. Mama needs you and me by her side…” 459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Mo6pQFGoI
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. 459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSrcrwYvZn
“No, she needs peace and quiet.” He snapped, the train whistled and Riven’s eyes widened. 459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwAVBi7PfA
“No, Cory please!” 459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83wzR87bAO
“Hey! THEIF” 459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHL6xeaNkq8
“Either join me, or run.” Cory spat, Riven hesitated but shook his head with a small scoff and ran. 459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1II9IQGvng
Cory shoved himself into the bag as the police men chased him, he was getting out of here. 459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGcWGGX9nW
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGstMMs4Qi7
Manhattan, New York. August, 1824
“Cory! Look!” 459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7KkbzQrHP
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. 459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDKBPNKcSi
“This is more then yesterday!” She cheered, he raised an eyebrow. 459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxiPXRf4bD
“No way!” He chuckled, she grinned and kissed him gently over the counter. 459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJoUbFthbR
“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. 459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC47OWhlEhy
She flipped the sign on the door and locked it, Cory smiled as she dragged him up the stairs towards their apartment. 459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzG1jQ4sujJ
“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.459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nFQaEZWBi
When they entered the room, she spun “happy birthday!” She cheered, three people looked towards him with wide grins. 459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwRlkD5VIq
Cory broke into a smile. 459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBteVxXdkXq
“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. 459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5P2wo3k6ku
24 years… he’d been through so much through those years. 459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDA13V4J7CG
He cried and grieved, he stole, he lied, he moved, he made friends, he left friends, he fell in love…hard in love…459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kwh4bVuxK
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. 459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡteIGIdkxnZ
“We all pitched in, we hope you like it” 459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMWEcRxwoW
He tore the paper and Gasped, inside a small rectangular box sat a broach on a sliver chain. 459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOgEqwCSX0
It was a small rose set into Amber with a silver lace patterned trim, his mother had something similar…459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRihSkOupK
“Where did you get this?”459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYSA8lv8o8
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. 459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvqecwmr4s
He stared at her, his eyes fluttering in a daze before he smiled gently. 459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTxdWBhzzI
“Thank you…guys, this is…this is amazing”
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7V3n2OHS1
Aisha sniffled as her breath quivered and she gripped Cory’s hand tightly. 459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHcvQENP15
“I love you so much” 459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwCfk9MXzU
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. 459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFrISobqLs
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. 459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnsph9FVUg
He was starting to think that the curse that had been placed on him was a miracle, he could do anything he wanted.459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGsQM8FY0Z
Go anywhere he wanted, see what happens in the future. 459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOoW1kf8j9S

California, America. October, 1980. 459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqTEsv4Out
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFa8q6v5je
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. 459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPunmKf5Y8p
“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. 459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqbOXWAD95
“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. 459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukbbnECLn8
“Right, Cory the ever aspiring grandpa” he joked, Cory rolled his eyes. 459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqqdCKFUfO
“Who you calling Grandpa, last I checked I was paying you” he teased, Tristan laughed and ruffled Cory’s hair. 459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡST7oxq6XyX
“Good point, I don’t plan on losing that pay anytime soon” 459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yO0Y30Mww
“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. 459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mcr0juMIh
Tristan rolled his eyes. 459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeosUwUS4Wz
“I’m getting better” 459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dV612tDNA
“Say that to Greg, poor thing got his jaw busted cus’a’you” Dean groaned, Tristan sighed and Cory smirked. 459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuzC8A75IW
“Now, now let’s not start any fights. We’re here to have fun, remember?” 459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDYxv4x1W6
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. 459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvrHtU7uPw
Guitar strings were strummed, followed by the bass and drums. 459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfJhrU6FxX
Cory sang low and quiet as the first few notes were slow and thoughtful. 459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4pBZiqw4H
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. 459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFq7yHfEUW
“That was fucking amazing!” 459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwyQePNRrq
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. 459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPJ9ebCtnc
He could never ask for a better life, he knew this was what everyone wanted…but he was starting to get tired of it. 459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1Ytdwpa1q
He’d been around since 1802 for fucks sake…459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnw1h6psuFn
“hey” 459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCCoWLIzJQ
he glanced up, meeting a tall man’s eyes. 459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00PCC4oucd
“Remember me? Peru, 1821?” 459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3iTKex9i1
Cory shivered and stood, “oh my god…Riv” 459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuo4lDRaxJD
Riv smiled “been a while, wanna talk?” Cory grinned. 459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqLeYL08GW
“Why not.”459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJrGfEqflH
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…
