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. 347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKDMr924pB
“Hey”347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5pvS4wEhK
He glanced up meeting eyes with a taller man in a suit, hands his in his pockets. 347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeV7hL50XUe
“Remember me? Peru, 1821…”347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNH4ukKBZ9
Cory shivered and stood, “oh my god, Riv”
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEW7O1sczv
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. 347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeolx0Rim5M
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. 347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRBcUW355j
“Cory, are you stealing again?” 347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBDGrMEcJE
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. 347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySemKcxUw6
“Sorry mama…” he apologized, she sighed and ruffled his dark hair. 347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIR3vlypnI
“I’ve some news” 347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhz9lQ7Srf
He sat down and pulled off his boots, dumping water onto the stone roof below. 347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44g9uIg36p
“We’re moving” 347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMc7sscimkV
He froze and looked up at his mother who clipped up a small quilt. 347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgf6TE0WfB5
“Your father found a job in Peru…it’ll help us” 347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUBlh89zY1
She looked to Cory who stared, baffled. “Why…”347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCfawLPMt0
She smiled gently, the slight sight of her canines just barely there.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNN8s8TANf
It was shocking how she still looked the same after so many years, and especially after giving birth to Cory. 347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpCgK4pBqE
Cory was basically a freak accident, or a miracle as his mother thought it. 347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTR7RmBxdQ
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. 347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPJofXYmbd
Upon her having the ability to give birth, that child would have to live through many, many decades alone and immortal. 347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTSTKVnyU8
A Daylighter. 347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZBpmVocQP
Cory closed his eyes to take a deep breath, His mother pulled him into a hug. 347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQLjxTD0uN
“I love you, Cory”
“Well…it’s not much- but it’ll do” 347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8UHlL7J0o
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. 347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOMhJmBgSu
“Where’s dad?” 347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BdS67wWh2
“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. 347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5Ky6hpj5D
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. 347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38lm9ewoDN
“Do not yell at me young man. We moved so we could get better.” She snapped. 347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4ZMcWQ6f3
“This…this is worse.” He sobbed and slammed open the rickety wooden door as he ran out the house. 347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AhKdIDzej
“CORY” 347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQMWzcHPck
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. 347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRQ4y8jgAN
He wasn’t scared, he lost the ability to feel terror when he lived in London, always on the run, hiding from bad men. 347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGj1nFqFAY
A small boy emerged from a bush a basket of fruit in hand, his eyes scanned the darkness before meeting Cory’s, something flickered. 347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5khbT0Gosi
“Are you alright?” 347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZlhrXsax0
Cory frowned and nodded, the boy shared a similar frown…but one made of pity.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35TKlKfJm2
“Here” 347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIJf3TJMyN
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. 347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmggPr6a7jD
“Thank you” 347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEN7WO2FCN
the boy nodded and gestured to the spot next to him, Cory nodded and the boy sat down. 347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs93zBNQOaK
“I’m Riven…”347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rf297s7tG
“Cory” He replied in between bites of the ripe pear. 347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOSaULT8bS
It was sweet and juicy…almost like something he’d never had before, which was true.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hVNxfOE81
“How old are you?” 347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFW1fb5YUgW
“13..”347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarIdK5Xef1
Riven blinked and pulled his knees to his chest, “what about you?” Cory inquired. 347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGy0LVsnARw
“10”
Moquegua, Peru. March, 1821.
Cory shoved Riven gently as they walked through the woods picking fruit from trees. 347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIJc930N5t
“I think I’m gonna leave Peru” 347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96ph29pGc5
Riven gave him a look. 347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2zriezgcw
“What? How?” 347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvFF2wcIA6
Cory kicked a rock gently and took a bite of a pear. 347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjmYLcpEZi
“There’s a train leaving tonight, I’m gonna get on through the baggage area” he said, Riven frowned.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFzV3NTiLz
“You’re going to smuggle yourself out of Peru? Have fun with that.” 347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTms6rFha9
Cory stopped in his tracks and grabbed Riven’s arm. The basket fell. 347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mYc0ogpM3
“Riv…I want you to go with me” 347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tY51YDMmh
Riven stared in shock before pulling from Cory’s grasp and picking up the fruits. 347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5NABjY0vJ
“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. 347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihjsLjQ2Ym
Cory sighed.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhrKsojGkG
“Then we can leave after it happens.”347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhKeKyoYm0
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. 347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmdJwmj37u
It was silent for a few moments and Cory stared at the ground, guilty. 347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxZ2gWHGji
“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.” 347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzzFd0dLje
Cory stared at him being taking a sharp breath and turning, Riven eyed him as Cory walked away disappearing amongst the bushes and trees. 347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4AfifmZQl
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3l8OCsUB8
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’.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIZ9xqq4n7
He looked around before spotting Riven “Cory” His eyes flickered with multiple emotions at once, fear, anger, anxiety.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKJlxU94XP
“Don’t do this, please. Mama needs you and me by her side…” 347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtEfAp6i5C
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. 347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKcX3ototR
“No, she needs peace and quiet.” He snapped, the train whistled and Riven’s eyes widened. 347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqbqXhE78o
“No, Cory please!” 347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRSPuQ30t8
“Hey! THEIF” 347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVDNATDSQ0
“Either join me, or run.” Cory spat, Riven hesitated but shook his head with a small scoff and ran. 347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSO1GNRiwu
Cory shoved himself into the bag as the police men chased him, he was getting out of here. 347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHAhQJNaHI
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUxAmiZ7jf
Manhattan, New York. August, 1824
“Cory! Look!” 347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRXgXEOYJJ
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. 347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCBNlTogww
“This is more then yesterday!” She cheered, he raised an eyebrow. 347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAovSZwQSr
“No way!” He chuckled, she grinned and kissed him gently over the counter. 347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZvnKgEH08
“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. 347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHYBHCnJaJ
She flipped the sign on the door and locked it, Cory smiled as she dragged him up the stairs towards their apartment. 347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZlHzuwqnK
“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.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhD96SjB5xG
When they entered the room, she spun “happy birthday!” She cheered, three people looked towards him with wide grins. 347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMXPfObQoY
Cory broke into a smile. 347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdiOEC10ug
“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. 347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hUL2nM4yq
24 years… he’d been through so much through those years. 347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgJa2urv9X
He cried and grieved, he stole, he lied, he moved, he made friends, he left friends, he fell in love…hard in love…347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLoMor8Bzc
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. 347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkmCFAECs6
“We all pitched in, we hope you like it” 347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEkEprNMC7
He tore the paper and Gasped, inside a small rectangular box sat a broach on a sliver chain. 347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqdbD3DF1H
It was a small rose set into Amber with a silver lace patterned trim, his mother had something similar…347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JV9LTYeMT
“Where did you get this?”347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jdjBdrig0
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. 347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJtuv29wX6
He stared at her, his eyes fluttering in a daze before he smiled gently. 347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkEaP92OUa
“Thank you…guys, this is…this is amazing”
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLFlssAjFm
Aisha sniffled as her breath quivered and she gripped Cory’s hand tightly. 347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1EnhFYTug
“I love you so much” 347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHYyGKTS9z
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. 347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHvQhwVWbX
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. 347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnP3pI0lNBB
He was starting to think that the curse that had been placed on him was a miracle, he could do anything he wanted.347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjp8krJKVyQ
Go anywhere he wanted, see what happens in the future. 347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4jghimCg8

California, America. October, 1980. 347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡID9apVnRB4
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2YAHh0NlI
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. 347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAhPw97JYQ
“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. 347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkDnNzw6Uq
“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. 347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GFNvogqT5
“Right, Cory the ever aspiring grandpa” he joked, Cory rolled his eyes. 347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJZiMnkqR9
“Who you calling Grandpa, last I checked I was paying you” he teased, Tristan laughed and ruffled Cory’s hair. 347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpnglTq0vv
“Good point, I don’t plan on losing that pay anytime soon” 347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXe33a2ebjV
“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. 347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10p89NB2V3
Tristan rolled his eyes. 347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVcW8dhBSn
“I’m getting better” 347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0464ATycB
“Say that to Greg, poor thing got his jaw busted cus’a’you” Dean groaned, Tristan sighed and Cory smirked. 347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCilD5bBKJG
“Now, now let’s not start any fights. We’re here to have fun, remember?” 347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUzCXoyZbR
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. 347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDXDLsgiM2
Guitar strings were strummed, followed by the bass and drums. 347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFREph9E1v
Cory sang low and quiet as the first few notes were slow and thoughtful. 347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOZbxNsGyT
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. 347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PP6bvoA3P
“That was fucking amazing!” 347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFEhnNlk7K
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. 347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLpTkgd3d3
He could never ask for a better life, he knew this was what everyone wanted…but he was starting to get tired of it. 347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcPuaLkHsr
He’d been around since 1802 for fucks sake…347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hKHzecrDv
“hey” 347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSf3dDQ4i0
he glanced up, meeting a tall man’s eyes. 347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXZPfj3aGH
“Remember me? Peru, 1821?” 347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHaEZsskUb
Cory shivered and stood, “oh my god…Riv” 347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkur5TbiUF
Riv smiled “been a while, wanna talk?” Cory grinned. 347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRc3mW9Jp4
“Why not.”347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gXibKUwgx
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…
