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. 316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9J0pKlhnF
“Hey”316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQa8yiPEahW
He glanced up meeting eyes with a taller man in a suit, hands his in his pockets. 316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxup9l8yBHU
“Remember me? Peru, 1821…”316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1piIUdFusb
Cory shivered and stood, “oh my god, Riv”
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHn3w3ZMIX
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. 316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxODsq4jArx
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. 316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92DDulNGJk
“Cory, are you stealing again?” 316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4lYxafzNH
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. 316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPanYzsdsd
“Sorry mama…” he apologized, she sighed and ruffled his dark hair. 316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0CE8gtj2S
“I’ve some news” 316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfL2Uwp5sb
He sat down and pulled off his boots, dumping water onto the stone roof below. 316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBnltSB4SZ
“We’re moving” 316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12yJKViTss
He froze and looked up at his mother who clipped up a small quilt. 316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEbN6QoOV5
“Your father found a job in Peru…it’ll help us” 316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTb2d6QuwHB
She looked to Cory who stared, baffled. “Why…”316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3BgwQ2gVQ
She smiled gently, the slight sight of her canines just barely there.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9twvC1tur
It was shocking how she still looked the same after so many years, and especially after giving birth to Cory. 316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡToiG8n7XNA
Cory was basically a freak accident, or a miracle as his mother thought it. 316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXakBJ1nnz
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. 316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkoLK7ADI6
Upon her having the ability to give birth, that child would have to live through many, many decades alone and immortal. 316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZcHaaZoMw
A Daylighter. 316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojbCRR0Ane
Cory closed his eyes to take a deep breath, His mother pulled him into a hug. 316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQ7r3YLAlE
“I love you, Cory”
“Well…it’s not much- but it’ll do” 316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbV9pYdxyMF
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. 316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDM8b0PwjE
“Where’s dad?” 316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDttMzyTEF8
“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. 316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm86T9SFpvo
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. 316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMAe088J3e
“Do not yell at me young man. We moved so we could get better.” She snapped. 316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfTP72Zqb1
“This…this is worse.” He sobbed and slammed open the rickety wooden door as he ran out the house. 316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0e3gszkKzZ
“CORY” 316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGCoVIzSEW
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. 316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKXQ6IECoz
He wasn’t scared, he lost the ability to feel terror when he lived in London, always on the run, hiding from bad men. 316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWhNkShbjc
A small boy emerged from a bush a basket of fruit in hand, his eyes scanned the darkness before meeting Cory’s, something flickered. 316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUW00aE0kc
“Are you alright?” 316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZF3D8PXNLr
Cory frowned and nodded, the boy shared a similar frown…but one made of pity.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2egyV0MkV
“Here” 316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhOlggQvJe
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. 316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29EDCaJbSh
“Thank you” 316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrmAbjoGgz
the boy nodded and gestured to the spot next to him, Cory nodded and the boy sat down. 316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Jhoy61MCD
“I’m Riven…”316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3E4E9bk3IF
“Cory” He replied in between bites of the ripe pear. 316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruPx1XFLIi
It was sweet and juicy…almost like something he’d never had before, which was true.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRt0VRAATfZ
“How old are you?” 316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXxVuq6B9Y
“13..”316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxeA14gqnJ
Riven blinked and pulled his knees to his chest, “what about you?” Cory inquired. 316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1Cdx3MJJr
“10”
Moquegua, Peru. March, 1821.
Cory shoved Riven gently as they walked through the woods picking fruit from trees. 316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFkvZD3WGn
“I think I’m gonna leave Peru” 316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCixDFNgjrm
Riven gave him a look. 316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcfXBNYyYG
“What? How?” 316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjiLcoRTi0N
Cory kicked a rock gently and took a bite of a pear. 316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVGE93lPGi
“There’s a train leaving tonight, I’m gonna get on through the baggage area” he said, Riven frowned.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNc9OnObro
“You’re going to smuggle yourself out of Peru? Have fun with that.” 316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlgFaAehDm
Cory stopped in his tracks and grabbed Riven’s arm. The basket fell. 316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDg5UWQ2uo
“Riv…I want you to go with me” 316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0c0wWGvoGV
Riven stared in shock before pulling from Cory’s grasp and picking up the fruits. 316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxWpZscQRX
“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. 316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcqCMPtXXY
Cory sighed.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DgesQuCx2
“Then we can leave after it happens.”316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0oUNQKq7MK
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. 316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnQlutQDNB
It was silent for a few moments and Cory stared at the ground, guilty. 316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdd8Kh0mAC
“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.” 316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFV41grKLoc
Cory stared at him being taking a sharp breath and turning, Riven eyed him as Cory walked away disappearing amongst the bushes and trees. 316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGxIYQ0nKL
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXA7Kd3gqIZ
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’.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbw8su1Mgks
He looked around before spotting Riven “Cory” His eyes flickered with multiple emotions at once, fear, anger, anxiety.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8x46ZzkwK
“Don’t do this, please. Mama needs you and me by her side…” 316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLDmka0Fx9
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. 316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpRcJuDhgb
“No, she needs peace and quiet.” He snapped, the train whistled and Riven’s eyes widened. 316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpocOxwXvN
“No, Cory please!” 316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrNybtaHIn
“Hey! THEIF” 316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2kliGxqWY
“Either join me, or run.” Cory spat, Riven hesitated but shook his head with a small scoff and ran. 316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVVc8qTA3g
Cory shoved himself into the bag as the police men chased him, he was getting out of here. 316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOT7SXWAjz
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLeuQJZ7zG
Manhattan, New York. August, 1824
“Cory! Look!” 316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4GlVOVLvS
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. 316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Hj8xobB1P
“This is more then yesterday!” She cheered, he raised an eyebrow. 316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWjkgFH2fx
“No way!” He chuckled, she grinned and kissed him gently over the counter. 316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vH2x9Ggxn
“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. 316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjI2pyY1dR
She flipped the sign on the door and locked it, Cory smiled as she dragged him up the stairs towards their apartment. 316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbaXokkLj7P
“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.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGmCIRno0Q
When they entered the room, she spun “happy birthday!” She cheered, three people looked towards him with wide grins. 316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhW857JteVN
Cory broke into a smile. 316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF70MiuXVrH
“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. 316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATmrQbLX50
24 years… he’d been through so much through those years. 316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWExl02RKLH
He cried and grieved, he stole, he lied, he moved, he made friends, he left friends, he fell in love…hard in love…316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajfeRkWwZB
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. 316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarV4cAQOLF
“We all pitched in, we hope you like it” 316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uYpfUBZAU
He tore the paper and Gasped, inside a small rectangular box sat a broach on a sliver chain. 316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtpmeppwKg
It was a small rose set into Amber with a silver lace patterned trim, his mother had something similar…316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpwEO6ddO0
“Where did you get this?”316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DOKBMZH7C
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. 316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡim2ucRpXMC
He stared at her, his eyes fluttering in a daze before he smiled gently. 316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIJ0q7CwQx
“Thank you…guys, this is…this is amazing”
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXDk2UMQYG
Aisha sniffled as her breath quivered and she gripped Cory’s hand tightly. 316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtE9en9O4Z
“I love you so much” 316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CcOsEyFZU
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. 316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiLYDsjWn4
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. 316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDVZiXCVH2
He was starting to think that the curse that had been placed on him was a miracle, he could do anything he wanted.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0N4daLqrdz
Go anywhere he wanted, see what happens in the future. 316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3sSjJhdaMq

California, America. October, 1980. 316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75Dc5JItyk
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0BM9pkvlw
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. 316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCGTNVObEH
“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. 316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡza86NQogSJ
“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. 316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqflOtmXbv
“Right, Cory the ever aspiring grandpa” he joked, Cory rolled his eyes. 316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRh36HKA25Y
“Who you calling Grandpa, last I checked I was paying you” he teased, Tristan laughed and ruffled Cory’s hair. 316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQcN8KZ2bN
“Good point, I don’t plan on losing that pay anytime soon” 316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYiouv0fo0
“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. 316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtsPqDQkqg
Tristan rolled his eyes. 316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5opbjKSq4
“I’m getting better” 316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEdr3cL1sS
“Say that to Greg, poor thing got his jaw busted cus’a’you” Dean groaned, Tristan sighed and Cory smirked. 316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztz7nW955N
“Now, now let’s not start any fights. We’re here to have fun, remember?” 316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnQtsXb3T3
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. 316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KqA6vpq0V
Guitar strings were strummed, followed by the bass and drums. 316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2R8RU8jUW
Cory sang low and quiet as the first few notes were slow and thoughtful. 316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhyC9cOv8I
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. 316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjtWypH9zA
“That was fucking amazing!” 316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92OzaUWLta
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. 316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36JxYviG8g
He could never ask for a better life, he knew this was what everyone wanted…but he was starting to get tired of it. 316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifByDB81Y6
He’d been around since 1802 for fucks sake…316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQeua6mnwre
“hey” 316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOstuRzHZgf
he glanced up, meeting a tall man’s eyes. 316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYvWBAqlxx
“Remember me? Peru, 1821?” 316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrq0SPfrfcU
Cory shivered and stood, “oh my god…Riv” 316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ezCNq7ub3
Riv smiled “been a while, wanna talk?” Cory grinned. 316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVjYMLL0Qt
“Why not.”316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzSv4lO2s1
