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.586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyjbp7JsZ6

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.586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1LZxafsCQ

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.586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FwMeaJ5z4

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.586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpT5YVbZtZo

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.586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVfkmCTI7N
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3V8aQSWLI
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.586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2V6EqOG3z
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSLccZqRTV
“It’s um...A nice night tonight.” Zack said in a soft voice. The man didn’t look away from the edge, however.586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKORaiS7vZf
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYRDbg30XX
“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.586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzeoipsJAuz
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0I4F1Ckjn
“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.586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIKuGIh0GP
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiVc73HaVv
“Yeah, I do. Do you?” The man asked in response.586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPl2zMMLBWv
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbCnqhBf0m
“Oh, uh…” Zack cleared his throat a bit and turned towards the edge again as he felt the heat spread across his face.586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWmYXnA62L
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZK2NYG7OG
“I-I’ve been once or twice.” Zack replied and the man nodded, facing back to the edge as well.586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0QSlIb2ME
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbFympw9jH
“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.586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOew2r5ySok
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9swJL3Ef0
“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.586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyTRCCjNPD
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ICxdtfv2e
“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.586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSE2sivrUt
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFO7b7Y1Ksz
“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.586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqbVcPIIh0
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwoRv8RnU6
“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.586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQhHVRODcp
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7btvqXrDf
“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.586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLnbPGPloi
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSHVxoOyX0
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.586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5d0p5krHaa
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpdxEjpqfA
‘Why am I doing this? I don’t even know him.’586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGDM5wCi3g
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYHffCoou7
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.586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMoYvi2cms
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rTfcGBZ6v
‘I just met him a few minutes ago, why do I want to help him?’586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLSDmYxcWz
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3FXCT9cSa
Luckily, Zacks weight caused him to fall quicker, gaining on him more and more as the ground grew ever closer.586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGRLTHOKbh
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIIGiLdRPv
‘I’m always taking lives...But, he’s different, somehow...He deserves to live, even if he doesn’t want to…’586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Fa3kyimc5
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVb7ecftzPq
Zack reached his hand out to the man and grabbed onto his arm.586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Td2GvJcOG
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCwa8dpOLb
‘I want him to live!’586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpNORaZp4G
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXee31Y0G8
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.586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyA6kWHnqNt
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkWarwNBGq
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.586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQy2iV85vub
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1C1J6qJK7
“A-Are you alright…?” Zack asked slowly before the man pulled away from him, quickly moving away from him.586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4wzPSqtwO
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwIJeErTq8
“Why the hell did you do that?! You ruined everything!” The man yelled at Zack, making him flinch.586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXHoi2tSUG
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDLRfLNyqS
“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.586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctscuwoIxM
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAA1miVbtGk
“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.586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpzDgkIC6p
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpQgTMKB3m
“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.586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡId6mqIWtRE
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVMqQnECNh
“We could be friends.” Zack said with a smile. The man looked up at him in confusion.586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xtTGcdRi1
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7qEDLzbzB
"What?" He asked in disbelief and Zack rubbed the back of his neck.586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwarBw1Xjeo
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JiOJsGpYX
"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.586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLpcdoG95V
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbLdcSboHS
"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.586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡda0iRLY69e
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkZQxt0nlX
"I'm Abelle. What's your name?" The man asked, catching Zack off guard.586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS59eLva50w
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxAsmkCcXh
"Oh, uh, it's Zack." He answered and Abelle nodded.586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7d4bPgH09
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBNMklke9N
"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.586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecwPEWgnoB
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyMgLTHssi
Once they found the staircase, they left the trail and Abelle let out a breath of disbelief as he turned to Zack.586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8sQM8PYec
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVEO0eoZCu
"Are you hurt in anyway?" Abelle asked with concern as he went over to Zack. Zack gave him a smile and shrugged.586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGyqZ75eYw
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6joDtg1lDj
"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.586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3TA1GpCIP
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZAckAc9yQ
"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.586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjJCN3mqWT
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGqKMQr5Y4
"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.586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI02a3ovJZi
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbxpsJEa77
"Alright, so I guess I'll message you later." Zack said before turning and beginning to walk away.586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9QB1Y2MZZ
586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIncyZGD6aR
"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.586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXGo8lYagw
