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.610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoB1oFfKeP4

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.610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61xcqOqFKx

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.610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVP9K7TkmZ

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.610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdn55u3KZf

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.610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSu2dDyDvv
610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEAhulfDgk
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.610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuCwVK6zWZ
610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVA3yH3Rsg
“It’s um...A nice night tonight.” Zack said in a soft voice. The man didn’t look away from the edge, however.610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EbiOON0I4
610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcorSNKTVwh
“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.610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdaCrgvcws
610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiGl8udlUx
“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.610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjFfeY524a
610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDG8vKotei
“Yeah, I do. Do you?” The man asked in response.610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5mrRQsBGw
610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxgNPj6sXF
“Oh, uh…” Zack cleared his throat a bit and turned towards the edge again as he felt the heat spread across his face.610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkxH2UxHoS
610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62AneiMEve
“I-I’ve been once or twice.” Zack replied and the man nodded, facing back to the edge as well.610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqvonuvgdH
610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYsulRTOXG
“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.610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuvyz3ocMO
610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYdPfxHbp8
“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.610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwtE9fiB6L
610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHf6PH9nKc
“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.610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvUfLsn3FO
610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDTtXmIuNW
“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.610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyA0M5U3VJc
610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0opZv14nLV
“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.610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QN2OLpkvp
610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqB1UeCB0PD
“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.610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQfw9FbZgS
610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RbnNejpP8
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.610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXdUT5LGuy
610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJ2dgFOxfe
‘Why am I doing this? I don’t even know him.’610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCTqPyGrJv
610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlO8Br8gRzN
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.610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyUMC6lVhO
610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwI1NiskgO
‘I just met him a few minutes ago, why do I want to help him?’610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qJvce9uYh
610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojJQaTL5Q7
Luckily, Zacks weight caused him to fall quicker, gaining on him more and more as the ground grew ever closer.610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVUl59BuEY
610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOCVzxU9Am
‘I’m always taking lives...But, he’s different, somehow...He deserves to live, even if he doesn’t want to…’610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LRyuiaxVy
610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAZ4t2hSum
Zack reached his hand out to the man and grabbed onto his arm.610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXIadyIbb2
610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGcZ2E1NMp
‘I want him to live!’610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDa6n5WR3g
610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnELNW34BZF
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.610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOh3hSonLS
610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54gvT5I7X7
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.610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUydLz7CxIr
610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhX3HX8mbCh
“A-Are you alright…?” Zack asked slowly before the man pulled away from him, quickly moving away from him.610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhdeMvOgNm
610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64dAwVPcXl
“Why the hell did you do that?! You ruined everything!” The man yelled at Zack, making him flinch.610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNz9UNgR1Hu
610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJhOETa2J6
“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.610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTa5znhUjQ
610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yIDsv3RDx
“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.610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhORhiPLbd6
610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbZqeWXeRa
“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.610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh86Hitb7KG
610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtOm2jYeVr
“We could be friends.” Zack said with a smile. The man looked up at him in confusion.610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG24AMe1K8h
610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOJNi5GsD9
"What?" He asked in disbelief and Zack rubbed the back of his neck.610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8mqxs126z
610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jniZuGOhn
"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.610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BhxuXi5M4
610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQppYB5RAqK
"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.610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ422yC03sy6
610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kq0AKvVlZ
"I'm Abelle. What's your name?" The man asked, catching Zack off guard.610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkySyZ9xkAT
610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzPlkt4xy9
"Oh, uh, it's Zack." He answered and Abelle nodded.610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgik4apG0O5
610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9uVGUGw93
"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.610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWHszOu0CG
610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQw3lJr51c
Once they found the staircase, they left the trail and Abelle let out a breath of disbelief as he turned to Zack.610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgU9YDZjrrq
610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tWjGJYc45
"Are you hurt in anyway?" Abelle asked with concern as he went over to Zack. Zack gave him a smile and shrugged.610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSW4i9IBfCL
610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCLUpiYoAD
"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.610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5xQstXxDR
610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1SXmXrXGA
"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.610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9CiiKP82g
610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLixZIn2G6
"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.610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1WKWjD5EP
610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcG7iIUr04K
"Alright, so I guess I'll message you later." Zack said before turning and beginning to walk away.610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2y6n0MAdB
610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Fq8n1EqMp
"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.610Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtaYVDS5WpV
