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.588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbSizJhxl3

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.588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjAeagupm3

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.588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93mBNjJdeh

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.588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2xMDgPoDP

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.588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SQ9djQ1rc

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.588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcF6PS4B8f
588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYB4CVBDAcn
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.588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuOtYYGIh9
588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLo8cVGhnlv
“It’s um...A nice night tonight.” Zack said in a soft voice. The man didn’t look away from the edge, however.588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKeYbAiunc3
588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7xPzpyMco
“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.588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiViLpBqwA
588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKoscbq1rPH
“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.588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3d5I3Nbae3
588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsQikDIR88
“Yeah, I do. Do you?” The man asked in response.588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OLrGef0vA
588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDt7epq3pFY
“Oh, uh…” Zack cleared his throat a bit and turned towards the edge again as he felt the heat spread across his face.588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1ZAVstyum
588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SOeASaXZk
“I-I’ve been once or twice.” Zack replied and the man nodded, facing back to the edge as well.588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡseaHEzMAu1
588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskUYJZwTlO
“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.588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk71jvrSFGZ
588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vX7Sps6Wp
“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.588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOB2xZy98gp
588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHz63eleTS
“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.588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcW4SAcgaS0
588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDgpRtoYcg
“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.588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2jR1UkAgK
588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ksorLA0wd
“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.588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtV3zrPWlra
588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYuUACXKUg
“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.588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdGsbbtiex
588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tYHnR1vzO
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.588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvFlRnfXLt
588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJH05jj3Y8
‘Why am I doing this? I don’t even know him.’588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptQ5VApcO3
588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75kGRMryx6
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.588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlLGdcfjUd
588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfo8XdAZij
‘I just met him a few minutes ago, why do I want to help him?’588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEFOqPEGXv
588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlx8BPq0Yj7
Luckily, Zacks weight caused him to fall quicker, gaining on him more and more as the ground grew ever closer.588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpsRiiVMys
588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigu7uh1YuL
‘I’m always taking lives...But, he’s different, somehow...He deserves to live, even if he doesn’t want to…’588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbr0sW2P24U
588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbd7onEF8e
Zack reached his hand out to the man and grabbed onto his arm.588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TGUQRca1N
588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dvNXuqD5B
‘I want him to live!’588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxm9xFwCCIE
588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtouM6jYqb
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.588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNZHkmzJSr
588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNd5YsSZJqz
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.588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUH700X6Il
588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMJfUvsb2I
“A-Are you alright…?” Zack asked slowly before the man pulled away from him, quickly moving away from him.588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUqLCpxGWD
588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKhpIYCQXI
“Why the hell did you do that?! You ruined everything!” The man yelled at Zack, making him flinch.588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxVnX1hqrB
588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffs4CzvtvG
“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.588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzotQJvzNN
588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LbMAtC2BS
“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.588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVX21T77elM
588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OKO4shmKc
“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.588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8dQ0L3Zpn
588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhiRQNLVju
“We could be friends.” Zack said with a smile. The man looked up at him in confusion.588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhs2E5t1c4S
588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhbqCXxWzx
"What?" He asked in disbelief and Zack rubbed the back of his neck.588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEaLl0coHaV
588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtjZwlpAR2
"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.588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPMuBIaTRD
588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3goiXRmjFO
"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.588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55knbpTTrp
588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VI5q98fPP
"I'm Abelle. What's your name?" The man asked, catching Zack off guard.588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxD4JUmshr
588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfCoF4FbEc
"Oh, uh, it's Zack." He answered and Abelle nodded.588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrByMi6s6v
588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5w5U4c7Kz7
"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.588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PhOanUnMi
588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfvk7Yl5bj
Once they found the staircase, they left the trail and Abelle let out a breath of disbelief as he turned to Zack.588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5D0MTgsimk
588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bLqpwt2t9
"Are you hurt in anyway?" Abelle asked with concern as he went over to Zack. Zack gave him a smile and shrugged.588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIMH5Nx9Vb
588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGN9NuEuJod
"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.588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQthPexEqyg
588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0pNxtaM5j
"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.588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTYLqFuSRO
588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrBsWm81lM
"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.588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFnouvmMIy
588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajqNDLsTk5
"Alright, so I guess I'll message you later." Zack said before turning and beginning to walk away.588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGiynUcfpU
588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxp3rEYrNXD
"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.588Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhddckbDWb
