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.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISqcuDDOC3

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.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhMk2LLLLN

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.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rlhMHcvAY

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.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7N6Bo1yDR

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.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyDKGsoMh4

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.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxELJhiO0c
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8szNFyJvIt
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.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpSzh2UetY
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvA7rXg4Z1z
“It’s um...A nice night tonight.” Zack said in a soft voice. The man didn’t look away from the edge, however.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLsmuVC0Ti
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnV59He9uv
“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.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsaC6DnUV5
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOj0YmJNkzh
“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.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡct9BM1la8B
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfDFvjLzW3
“Yeah, I do. Do you?” The man asked in response.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRwNOSoCSK
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASQTUhdXsn
“Oh, uh…” Zack cleared his throat a bit and turned towards the edge again as he felt the heat spread across his face.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0R6HVzDYaX
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdKjvGSwT9
“I-I’ve been once or twice.” Zack replied and the man nodded, facing back to the edge as well.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDd7hYuAYee
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3kwfu6SkD
“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.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoBaUf63u1
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRl2u1p3AT
“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.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1VGFVq88b
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZn4O1ZCPT
“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.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlfVkqM9ab
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqVCAGuhUD
“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.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4uoPCzFTk
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3JU06cSgu
“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.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBmpsd1jXp
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWn5jRBOgbM
“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.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAWwBfJhPc
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0hVkMP9jN
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.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGIjsGvDE4
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlKdIqpHN0
‘Why am I doing this? I don’t even know him.’587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIc2ia2CVOr
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90gpYUcrZi
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.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk18SQnUO5J
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgduwlspj5
‘I just met him a few minutes ago, why do I want to help him?’587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkK6U00TaoT
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKf9GnHiso
Luckily, Zacks weight caused him to fall quicker, gaining on him more and more as the ground grew ever closer.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfBKH8r9BH
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9MmJML3gS
‘I’m always taking lives...But, he’s different, somehow...He deserves to live, even if he doesn’t want to…’587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLad3fpdR4k
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeXCee8WpR
Zack reached his hand out to the man and grabbed onto his arm.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcwoNSwvqe
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzpalDLiYc
‘I want him to live!’587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0A2riZrdt2
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlGZMwEdxF
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.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTumhHh87o
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPaKXfKWFg
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.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEFgv18KWs
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1hAVp3A9Q
“A-Are you alright…?” Zack asked slowly before the man pulled away from him, quickly moving away from him.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkFpsPvb76
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5e8JiFIJwI
“Why the hell did you do that?! You ruined everything!” The man yelled at Zack, making him flinch.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmf7jBeVQRG
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrirNVdXiR
“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.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrjHTPX71v
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvgwILDibB
“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.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LZ7M8pmNn
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9UodI49sB
“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.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8K0x7mKNc
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV41exFEVNk
“We could be friends.” Zack said with a smile. The man looked up at him in confusion.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUEhzgv3TZ
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchFMW5fFvN
"What?" He asked in disbelief and Zack rubbed the back of his neck.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gJpuA8RIZ
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAJb8lW6Jh
"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.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLMhY26lGK
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFFAnb7NMd
"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.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5IvE8c7U3
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTESXJ0lhsj
"I'm Abelle. What's your name?" The man asked, catching Zack off guard.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1NJtQBm9L
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OiMBRo39b
"Oh, uh, it's Zack." He answered and Abelle nodded.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocSSHOhEAY
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3SOZ1Cmvr
"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.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakL2QcOV1c
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe99txXbmE4
Once they found the staircase, they left the trail and Abelle let out a breath of disbelief as he turned to Zack.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwKGrYppL8
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHc70pc2loh
"Are you hurt in anyway?" Abelle asked with concern as he went over to Zack. Zack gave him a smile and shrugged.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5u2VZzHIe7
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPo1whzq3Nx
"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.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACOfmzrjmj
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1KKSZZfMZ
"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.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NHPjH8CpX
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXwea4mErX
"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.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2CcKG0OXW
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuj3z3jdGQC
"Alright, so I guess I'll message you later." Zack said before turning and beginning to walk away.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqZVEqe4ch
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwj0eAD9sg
"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.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MpgfuNiuw
