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.612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNJ4mIrhyD

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.612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvlkXIDW50

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.612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxLYton5bF

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.612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDWipIGhQL

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.612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡph4H3ANYmH
612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwmk9Qqr0M
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.612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8j8KQG9NXC
612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBvX615Mrc
“It’s um...A nice night tonight.” Zack said in a soft voice. The man didn’t look away from the edge, however.612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSfDzODo4i
612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniCKgOESWz
“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.612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9xQvSz2ki
612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpnQ5DFFhX
“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.612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgnKgxQiYp
612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvbZa8Klax
“Yeah, I do. Do you?” The man asked in response.612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmsGd1gUAq
612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEN8VOvo0j
“Oh, uh…” Zack cleared his throat a bit and turned towards the edge again as he felt the heat spread across his face.612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEmCMZ2NOV
612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvigd64M8rN
“I-I’ve been once or twice.” Zack replied and the man nodded, facing back to the edge as well.612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufqmJSaa0k
612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGk379ftLWP
“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.612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFb6RG6dUT
612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6WA8IhCS6
“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.612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmekty3KV9
612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCWTF5wNUI
“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.612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHHunTFq0r
612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGBNLhM2Fi
“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.612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wdH2qnE5g
612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdeLlbyW1ki
“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.612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobNkjTMZdy
612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrNafrzz93
“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.612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcNiNPapEf
612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHw4L6pbsn4
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.612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNm2nlOrHjp
612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxIFwLjNtb
‘Why am I doing this? I don’t even know him.’612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAC5x7nY3Y
612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqxTHE1udy
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.612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CztU7REZE
612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGAbXQ5K9f
‘I just met him a few minutes ago, why do I want to help him?’612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiXgQ5DrWT
612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAS7YRGYVHY
Luckily, Zacks weight caused him to fall quicker, gaining on him more and more as the ground grew ever closer.612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgz8EMyv4r
612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8JrwlvJeg
‘I’m always taking lives...But, he’s different, somehow...He deserves to live, even if he doesn’t want to…’612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOfOhBoeOB
612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxhi7XSgQu
Zack reached his hand out to the man and grabbed onto his arm.612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Wpm3faBRV
612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9WFnxp4PC
‘I want him to live!’612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboAt1fYi0s
612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbuW3TWwvi
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.612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlusai4Byiz
612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ60sokMRb0
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.612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhPjbashxg
612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhi0HLh4u1J
“A-Are you alright…?” Zack asked slowly before the man pulled away from him, quickly moving away from him.612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7NsiurPW8
612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEi0Ss0TmH
“Why the hell did you do that?! You ruined everything!” The man yelled at Zack, making him flinch.612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4M1DmXNjL
612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvh6WM8Tve6
“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.612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEggc4WMVR
612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFa3njnCkHm
“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.612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoNUZcReJf
612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWWxapao0N
“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.612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZPTGXx71Q
612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqfupMLC7W
“We could be friends.” Zack said with a smile. The man looked up at him in confusion.612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJWTl5Qhx5
612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rsvTxNGzo
"What?" He asked in disbelief and Zack rubbed the back of his neck.612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2e5E37PGN
612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQf8dQCnsyO
"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.612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnaC28C74jv
612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6JgDtHkSL
"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.612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxaqN2kEpe
612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5f7P213u8
"I'm Abelle. What's your name?" The man asked, catching Zack off guard.612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9f7vND5fcJ
612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy59ZdJk19P
"Oh, uh, it's Zack." He answered and Abelle nodded.612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyvBBfdl0x
612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxQ8v8TQVs
"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.612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqlMOrIpsD
612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pIFUiZzfj
Once they found the staircase, they left the trail and Abelle let out a breath of disbelief as he turned to Zack.612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHa4ZO0GmU
612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTs47HmE96
"Are you hurt in anyway?" Abelle asked with concern as he went over to Zack. Zack gave him a smile and shrugged.612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpnwkXYWlT
612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFY00hLJgn
"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.612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mAChw3qxP
612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1svITOPBp
"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.612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt93LGcd7ZV
612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4JkMwLY9Q
"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.612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNUCWAFuur
612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuHWa20vsR
"Alright, so I guess I'll message you later." Zack said before turning and beginning to walk away.612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiATDy4gzmp
612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WZrm0dyGt
"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.612Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Gp6IauUy5
