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. 350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMKdz0Hf2D
“Hey”350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeLwgzQYDC
He glanced up meeting eyes with a taller man in a suit, hands his in his pockets. 350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhMMIW8Wxj
“Remember me? Peru, 1821…”350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUdsQY592Q
Cory shivered and stood, “oh my god, Riv”
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjOmHgXm1p
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. 350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2VPDilyjL
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. 350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqmHtDxZZX
“Cory, are you stealing again?” 350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIsS4Sly9u
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. 350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoLdhDaihK
“Sorry mama…” he apologized, she sighed and ruffled his dark hair. 350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAW8jqL5tSS
“I’ve some news” 350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgG3dqP3HSd
He sat down and pulled off his boots, dumping water onto the stone roof below. 350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFK2k2vUpT5
“We’re moving” 350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBkahJtcww
He froze and looked up at his mother who clipped up a small quilt. 350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkrn5oytg4
“Your father found a job in Peru…it’ll help us” 350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2zLGLKTl5
She looked to Cory who stared, baffled. “Why…”350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFceobFYZF7
She smiled gently, the slight sight of her canines just barely there.350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIYxioemyU
It was shocking how she still looked the same after so many years, and especially after giving birth to Cory. 350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrLGPs7mIk
Cory was basically a freak accident, or a miracle as his mother thought it. 350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8edQ0uN9M
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. 350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHR5qza7uJ
Upon her having the ability to give birth, that child would have to live through many, many decades alone and immortal. 350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbeFwnTVxqn
A Daylighter. 350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXt2nzS4mF
Cory closed his eyes to take a deep breath, His mother pulled him into a hug. 350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7cTC9rfCm
“I love you, Cory”
“Well…it’s not much- but it’ll do” 350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jOu7XRALY
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. 350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfX30eIvqk
“Where’s dad?” 350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR35eEtOqPO
“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. 350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaGHTInbP2
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. 350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcRHQKeDCi
“Do not yell at me young man. We moved so we could get better.” She snapped. 350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7QmdZCMgv
“This…this is worse.” He sobbed and slammed open the rickety wooden door as he ran out the house. 350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7Klqu3oiy
“CORY” 350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMwozY3a72
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. 350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4xRGJGcxK
He wasn’t scared, he lost the ability to feel terror when he lived in London, always on the run, hiding from bad men. 350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlj4uBmtnAB
A small boy emerged from a bush a basket of fruit in hand, his eyes scanned the darkness before meeting Cory’s, something flickered. 350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNkgSMtcd3
“Are you alright?” 350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgC2rR5lG0C
Cory frowned and nodded, the boy shared a similar frown…but one made of pity.350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZy4chYAq6f
“Here” 350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuiXyf5SFZQ
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. 350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdKQydtj2t
“Thank you” 350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHTXrDRWpK
the boy nodded and gestured to the spot next to him, Cory nodded and the boy sat down. 350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJp9V8McCmh
“I’m Riven…”350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdK8XVULtfw
“Cory” He replied in between bites of the ripe pear. 350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwbAQrlCYi
It was sweet and juicy…almost like something he’d never had before, which was true.350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMFrs19fE0
“How old are you?” 350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHvNmOWUvR
“13..”350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHsVpARPXg
Riven blinked and pulled his knees to his chest, “what about you?” Cory inquired. 350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2aOG7AtgW
“10”
Moquegua, Peru. March, 1821.
Cory shoved Riven gently as they walked through the woods picking fruit from trees. 350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVPsJn0FM5
“I think I’m gonna leave Peru” 350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEF7WvW8La
Riven gave him a look. 350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kSQtlUo2a
“What? How?” 350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEixQKEIKUN
Cory kicked a rock gently and took a bite of a pear. 350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKUhAHFBhc
“There’s a train leaving tonight, I’m gonna get on through the baggage area” he said, Riven frowned.350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDO0Tq1nSJ
“You’re going to smuggle yourself out of Peru? Have fun with that.” 350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilKc9xawvQ
Cory stopped in his tracks and grabbed Riven’s arm. The basket fell. 350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHiO9DOwg9T
“Riv…I want you to go with me” 350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡillFSdhDUn
Riven stared in shock before pulling from Cory’s grasp and picking up the fruits. 350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfEcxRDOUH
“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. 350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qQ471vqGD
Cory sighed.350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrz5iJBjzz
“Then we can leave after it happens.”350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKc9SsiOf6d
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. 350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpwZuhk15g
It was silent for a few moments and Cory stared at the ground, guilty. 350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6qnRWoomz
“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.” 350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXvh7gWD8P
Cory stared at him being taking a sharp breath and turning, Riven eyed him as Cory walked away disappearing amongst the bushes and trees. 350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhSWFhx78m
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSh2WHBDdJ
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’.350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4sBLdK2cE
He looked around before spotting Riven “Cory” His eyes flickered with multiple emotions at once, fear, anger, anxiety.350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0UAuYJQEq
“Don’t do this, please. Mama needs you and me by her side…” 350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsN3KLBN6mT
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. 350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapvbdzWTcS
“No, she needs peace and quiet.” He snapped, the train whistled and Riven’s eyes widened. 350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcD1Z8kNBXB
“No, Cory please!” 350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgOR8cy3AA
“Hey! THEIF” 350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLfigb949F
“Either join me, or run.” Cory spat, Riven hesitated but shook his head with a small scoff and ran. 350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQeqwzXsHbB
Cory shoved himself into the bag as the police men chased him, he was getting out of here. 350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuhCoAgiiP
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfYR7mWK92
Manhattan, New York. August, 1824
“Cory! Look!” 350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8GqqpBSYp
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. 350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOqkhsfI6k
“This is more then yesterday!” She cheered, he raised an eyebrow. 350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNKrVcTpOa
“No way!” He chuckled, she grinned and kissed him gently over the counter. 350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQ60iZuAWR
“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. 350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfFsdJ3Iar
She flipped the sign on the door and locked it, Cory smiled as she dragged him up the stairs towards their apartment. 350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgM9wZjhWY
“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.350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3VFWOwAIL
When they entered the room, she spun “happy birthday!” She cheered, three people looked towards him with wide grins. 350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQPwUQE1Xt
Cory broke into a smile. 350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWy9Ps7n6m
“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. 350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrk56iag5rO
24 years… he’d been through so much through those years. 350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnpSZ7Jo3N
He cried and grieved, he stole, he lied, he moved, he made friends, he left friends, he fell in love…hard in love…350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFKdLhK6UH
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. 350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEeukxFLsL
“We all pitched in, we hope you like it” 350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZXzuC6NG6
He tore the paper and Gasped, inside a small rectangular box sat a broach on a sliver chain. 350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VUGZCQbYp
It was a small rose set into Amber with a silver lace patterned trim, his mother had something similar…350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwDdhNmhUf
“Where did you get this?”350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4ziG6cAQg
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. 350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdSbG3K7uO
He stared at her, his eyes fluttering in a daze before he smiled gently. 350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmU5Ohlvqv
“Thank you…guys, this is…this is amazing”
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRXLO2O0MB
Aisha sniffled as her breath quivered and she gripped Cory’s hand tightly. 350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPGZm8kBme
“I love you so much” 350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpW5zt2tmcN
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. 350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowjRVSOeNr
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. 350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJCQzwc4wh
He was starting to think that the curse that had been placed on him was a miracle, he could do anything he wanted.350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUatXIwmxN
Go anywhere he wanted, see what happens in the future. 350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Txi097NNT

California, America. October, 1980. 350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH02p67S3xY
350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhkEF06dWg
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. 350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxytUZnj2JJ
“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. 350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVs8LVeuWXV
“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. 350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LaGZtiRmE
“Right, Cory the ever aspiring grandpa” he joked, Cory rolled his eyes. 350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUoIrCAYUy
“Who you calling Grandpa, last I checked I was paying you” he teased, Tristan laughed and ruffled Cory’s hair. 350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9oALDRFAy
“Good point, I don’t plan on losing that pay anytime soon” 350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFizeqX8dA
“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. 350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmj2LaJMXtM
Tristan rolled his eyes. 350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXkV9ERJC7
“I’m getting better” 350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AlIWBjjsY
“Say that to Greg, poor thing got his jaw busted cus’a’you” Dean groaned, Tristan sighed and Cory smirked. 350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOC2VRyrUJ7
“Now, now let’s not start any fights. We’re here to have fun, remember?” 350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1ZPGDdws8
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. 350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTcOR1el2E
Guitar strings were strummed, followed by the bass and drums. 350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbuwm5FPYe
Cory sang low and quiet as the first few notes were slow and thoughtful. 350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLZzXkITYi
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. 350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WwpmQ62YH
“That was fucking amazing!” 350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqT9HpeLwR
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. 350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9q8yCij7x
He could never ask for a better life, he knew this was what everyone wanted…but he was starting to get tired of it. 350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTD7dMvdL7g
He’d been around since 1802 for fucks sake…350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQAj4JrWOk
“hey” 350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUg5j5nuaD1
he glanced up, meeting a tall man’s eyes. 350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVaf8vnDsJ
“Remember me? Peru, 1821?” 350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XkPEofnvP
Cory shivered and stood, “oh my god…Riv” 350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2scIkXVWg
Riv smiled “been a while, wanna talk?” Cory grinned. 350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rjGy4bhKz
“Why not.”350Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTa4wpUj1eA
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…
