This is a story about how my sister and I’s characters Zack and Abelle met. For a bit of background, Zack is an Incubus (look it up) who is taking a walk around a town that he is visiting due to work. Abelle is a human who is doing the same, deciding to stop and soak in the view at a bridge that connects the town to another.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5rXiMj6Jl

Zack is my character while Abelle belongs to my sister, who was nice enough to allow me to use her character for this story. Follow her on instagram (@Space_papiii) For awesome art and characters that are going to be in upcoming short stories and books.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXz4uKQumKI

It was late at night, around 11:30 P.M.. Zack had just gotten done taking the soul of yet another lonely woman in the town. Zack let out a heavy sigh as he ran a hand through his hair, not paying attention to anything as he walked with his head hung low. The feeling of his phone vibrating in his pocket caused him to take it out to see who it was.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBLldgD98E

Just as he thought, It was his brother, Mike. Zack knew exactly why he was calling, he wanted to hear about the woman and what had happened. Being in no mood to talk, he put his phone back in his pocket and continued to walk. Zack would be lying if he said he wasn’t disgusted with himself for what he had to do every night, for tricking women into sleeping with him all so that he could take their souls in the end.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVDIMGFyVl

As he walked down the empty street, he thought about what his life would have been like if he was born a human instead of an incubus. He thought about having a normal childhood with a normal brought, growing up a normal life, and finally meeting that person he had longed to meet. That special person he could hold close without having feelings of shame.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdZTuEbJaz

Zack stopped once he got to the bridge separating the town he was in and the town that was next. But, he didn’t stop because he wanted to, he stopped because of what he saw. Standing on the bridge, leaning over the edge a bit to look down was a man who looked to be in his early twenties just standing there. And as Zack saw him, he felt a strong and powerful urge to go over and speak to him. So, that’s exactly what he did.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYoCF0HJd6v
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7rFtEYbKD
He walked over to the man and stood next to him, leaning over a bit to look down like he was doing. As Zack looked down, he got a little nervous when he saw just how deep the pit was. Granted, if he fell nothing would happen, but it still made him nervous. The man didn’t say anything and just kept staring on, looking down over the ledge. When Zack glanced over at him, he noticed how sad the man looked. Zack then cleared his throat.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFEsUnfuI8
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCutQ6zTwEA
“It’s um...A nice night tonight.” Zack said in a soft voice. The man didn’t look away from the edge, however.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSeK4WTQyl
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYARUCFxUlE
“Yeah, I guess it is…” The man mumbled back. Zack then took in his appearance. The man was very skinny and his clothes looked like he had just gotten back from a rave.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuWQoFXDWa
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSfDngUvwT
“Correct me if i’m wrong, but i’m assuming you like to go to raves?” Zack questioned. Almost as soon as the words left his mouth, the man looked over at him with great speed. This caught Zack off guard, of course but what stunned him most was the man's eyes. They were the most beautiful mixture of blue and green he had ever seen. He began to stare at them for so long he almost didn’t hear the man’s response.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagqjv99NeY
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmarw44aBG
“Yeah, I do. Do you?” The man asked in response.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBGFBLnAR1
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgbCCkRBSH
“Oh, uh…” Zack cleared his throat a bit and turned towards the edge again as he felt the heat spread across his face.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hHSvt9YNH
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuhfDeH7xh
“I-I’ve been once or twice.” Zack replied and the man nodded, facing back to the edge as well.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOoe9huS1a0
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuPCmQ2C1o
“What brings you out here so late?” The man asked in a quiet voice again. Zack glanced over at him and took a moment to think of something to say.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDd89KpJQr
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkGNy2Ci06
“I was visiting a friend and we lost track of time. Now I'm on my way home but thought I should stop and have a chat with you.” Zack answered before mentally facepalming for adding the last detail. The man let out a soft chuckle before sighing.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00yW73uQZA
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95horSX7TD
“Thank you. I needed one positive thing to happen before I leave.” The man said as he looked up from the edge with a large smile on his face. Zack, however, was confused.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MeUL5jlNw
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCkwuWWUTo
“What do you mean, “leave.” Are you moving away or something?” Zack asked but the man didn’t respond. He simply grabbed onto the short wall of the bridge and climbed up, standing with his feet barely over the edge as he held onto a light pole. Zack’s eyes went wide as he suddenly realized what he meant.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVacvG12Zf
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJn6o5saVI
“Whoa...Get down from there, we can talk this out. You don’t have to jump…” Zack spoke slowly and calmly, watching the man smile at Zack.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡly48Pis4Md
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡev8elkD9La
“Thanks but you already have given me a wonderful last conversation. Thank you.” The man said before letting go of the light pole and falling back.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1Gttu9Uw3
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjA2Y3t5g01
As if his body moved on his own, Zack also got up on the wall and dived down after him. The moment his feet left the wall, he felt his body go numb and time seemed to slow down as thousands of thoughts flooded his mind.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKgbKbwhuy
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbNcvdTMJP
‘Why am I doing this? I don’t even know him.’530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHN24vxNBk
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlm24b9zPQD
Zack saw him, the light from the light pole making his features slowly fade into shadow. But even then, he could still see the shocked expression on his face.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlK4ok4uuQ0
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExChFsbUA3
‘I just met him a few minutes ago, why do I want to help him?’530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2suN0kXcL
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwKvKkiWfX
Luckily, Zacks weight caused him to fall quicker, gaining on him more and more as the ground grew ever closer.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmOtiR84Ul
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDq3S9P5adX
‘I’m always taking lives...But, he’s different, somehow...He deserves to live, even if he doesn’t want to…’530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQfmpp3Otf
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuiLx5EvKCY
Zack reached his hand out to the man and grabbed onto his arm.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqouJUaro9u
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj90wbtie8V
‘I want him to live!’530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx47RvR3iH7
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSa40U8vE2g
As Zack grabbed onto him, he moved the man into his chest, Zack’s back facing the ground. The world suddenly went back to normal and the two hit the ground hard, Zack letting out a loud grunt of pain while he held the man close and tight.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZomt8dNtVA
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9l01fwmst
There was a few seconds of silence as he didn’t let go of the man, squeezing him tight as he waited for the shock of hitting the ground to go away. The man didn’t say anything either, the shock of everything keeping him from speaking. After a minute or two, Zack slowly sat up, still holding onto the man tight.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0jsHFKCFg
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFrMKRTaf4
“A-Are you alright…?” Zack asked slowly before the man pulled away from him, quickly moving away from him.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwet5jtzL1
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH58LuTgdE8
“Why the hell did you do that?! You ruined everything!” The man yelled at Zack, making him flinch.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDhrjIiUrJ
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuFbdCqGcp
“I was finally about to solve all of my problems! I was about to finally be free and you took that away from me!” The man shouted as tears began to form in his eyes.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhNdbwN92T
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPHKAikuVL
“You might have thought it was going to solve everything but imagine how your friends would feel if you actually died?” Zack asked with concern dripping from his words. He then watched as the man wiped the tears from his eyes.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wtB0DhNBG
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tQ09RgOpt
“Do you think I would be here if I had any real friends?” The man asked as he grabbed the sleeves of his shirt and kept his eyes down. Zack paused for a moment, not sure what to say or how he could make the situation any better.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBks47migdx
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5Jr2vgv0r
“We could be friends.” Zack said with a smile. The man looked up at him in confusion.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzHXL3bqTC
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHP611QDap8
"What?" He asked in disbelief and Zack rubbed the back of his neck.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzt2VQPyI5e
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwWZxLvPtO
"Yeah...M-Maybe we could...Go to a rave sometime." He mumbled in an attempt to hide his nervousness. The man let out a soft laugh, sniffing as he began to wipe away more tears.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQdW67mdGs
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LwYztdY1o
"I...I'd like that." The man said with a smile. Zack felt the heat spread across his face yet again as the stranger smiled back at him. The two then slowly stood up.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWBEP2mWy6
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXaDRPHppWy
"I'm Abelle. What's your name?" The man asked, catching Zack off guard.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bf2i8dvpB
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnfOxK1Hhd
"Oh, uh, it's Zack." He answered and Abelle nodded.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHEBIYNx8H
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlPUDcZKpU
"Well, come on, Zack. There's a staircase over here somewhere, down here is actually a popular nature hike trail." Abelle said as he grabbed Zack's wrist, starting to walk the two hown the trail.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjY4fdqY1K
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5Zc5oTKrC
Once they found the staircase, they left the trail and Abelle let out a breath of disbelief as he turned to Zack.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRngn4Bc6no
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRb4xjpYaRf
"Are you hurt in anyway?" Abelle asked with concern as he went over to Zack. Zack gave him a smile and shrugged.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZeZu2HIXME
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JfhN1TunH
"I may have some bruising on my back but I'll be fine. I'm more concerned for you, though." He commented and Abelle let out a small laugh.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaA2JdScX4
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWh7oKnxQU
"You took most of the damage. I should be rushing you to a hospital!" Abelle exclaimed with another laugh. Zack also let out a soft chuckle before taking out his phone, amazed that it wasn't completely broken.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuVozAx7Cf
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7aTO2ap73
"Here, let me give you my number." Zack told Abelle as he reached out his hand. Abelle got his phone out and gave it to him, allowing Zack to input each others numbers into the phone's. Once Zack was done, he gave Abelle his phone back.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ezk5uQgT3
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3oU5xyLIk
"Alright, so I guess I'll message you later." Zack said before turning and beginning to walk away.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxa99FQ0GXL
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iNrB8UWbS
"Promise me we will hang out!" Abelle called out, causing Zack to come to a halt. Zack turned around and nodded with a smile and continued to walk away. Zack held his phone close to his chest and smiled to himself, the warmth turning his face a light red.530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ94ZMCNFSQ
