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.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamob9jOOxA

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.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sHtxSXrpg

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.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PPJfzpuiC

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.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtADC3kwVR

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.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1WJfB4ejo
516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQJVqnHNC3
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.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5eWw8kygWI
516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHksNLODuG
“It’s um...A nice night tonight.” Zack said in a soft voice. The man didn’t look away from the edge, however.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4zkq3fIKx
516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZdosEDH65
“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.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzYXtpeQjy
516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyAgrJ8JoT
“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.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4iLsIhtJSv
516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKODQJYs5Bw
“Yeah, I do. Do you?” The man asked in response.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FhcXNOX1u
516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1j9Rv0KT2
“Oh, uh…” Zack cleared his throat a bit and turned towards the edge again as he felt the heat spread across his face.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVf7Xax4Nr
516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzb7PfFDUzt
“I-I’ve been once or twice.” Zack replied and the man nodded, facing back to the edge as well.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfeTB4qFRc
516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFkjP9Buj5
“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.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTogBPJP7x
516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sqWz6WLis
“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.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgA3YHqvTVl
516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAobPambGO
“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.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6O45TcPZMz
516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTAsoQ9oI6
“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.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtS2BAEdsu
516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFjua9oKop
“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.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsf9gaI352z
516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWQtnyMs5B
“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.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5R36AeZ1R
516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs78rb3AEZj
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.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcePZyGyex
516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9VpOT5T5p
‘Why am I doing this? I don’t even know him.’516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBNWXTobNi
516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZSF4upGWf
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.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEpJPLk5wh
516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMGuKn5kuc
‘I just met him a few minutes ago, why do I want to help him?’516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCyyWllVPv
516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcZHx0lK3Y
Luckily, Zacks weight caused him to fall quicker, gaining on him more and more as the ground grew ever closer.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPndMZm6Ehc
516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkQRJEVgJY
‘I’m always taking lives...But, he’s different, somehow...He deserves to live, even if he doesn’t want to…’516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICBY4JInaK
516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCrzfMJtnO
Zack reached his hand out to the man and grabbed onto his arm.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkztd94gK3h
516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6LRGc4p11
‘I want him to live!’516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNoTlzNwfm
516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJ8y7BD7jo
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.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxp5dQohpl
516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYVFK7o8rt
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.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURy8OjSjAX
516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NfsYiKK9v
“A-Are you alright…?” Zack asked slowly before the man pulled away from him, quickly moving away from him.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEnMmNPJaF
516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ325yBdCRS6
“Why the hell did you do that?! You ruined everything!” The man yelled at Zack, making him flinch.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvSOxb1MX8
516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvjT7JNAaO
“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.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YEcxDE0qH
516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhNwwxRPHa
“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.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iejQJzUCq
516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5h2kCMPuh
“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.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVLml69yv3
516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1eJCQHjeO
“We could be friends.” Zack said with a smile. The man looked up at him in confusion.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdO1zPBjwmP
516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbEgAq2NRa
"What?" He asked in disbelief and Zack rubbed the back of his neck.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuIVYcfk82
516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQHJkmxlT8
"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.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6q0ZSSAs7A
516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtWgL8YxO3
"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.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChMXv4Q9FD
516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOof1XqXLO
"I'm Abelle. What's your name?" The man asked, catching Zack off guard.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOT5fEnYSc8
516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAsrFdIdJ1
"Oh, uh, it's Zack." He answered and Abelle nodded.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWjhzsdCOP
516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7OcuVYBFq
"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.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRR36JauzND
516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1qV6XZrm6
Once they found the staircase, they left the trail and Abelle let out a breath of disbelief as he turned to Zack.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFIAK6Q9ht
516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFW9rZEaxo
"Are you hurt in anyway?" Abelle asked with concern as he went over to Zack. Zack gave him a smile and shrugged.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4a7fZERDy
516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyp5VX07LQ
"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.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEC3UZdFmB
516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNDG9dB7m0
"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.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vb7K4VezU
516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQC4tLXmK7
"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.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlrFHNB503
516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehmAU2MfKe
"Alright, so I guess I'll message you later." Zack said before turning and beginning to walk away.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuGQkAVmVW
516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcqDjSsh0s
"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.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKeaAz7S85j
