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.668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAr7Yo0eoK

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.668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVWWCgQldr

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.668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5lvuWjQT4

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.668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsuIdivr4k

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.668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5AV7I0GvA
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DtYEn9z6f
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.668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0K2BIqBFCN
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDo21gvlcMt
“It’s um...A nice night tonight.” Zack said in a soft voice. The man didn’t look away from the edge, however.668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgaB4mzUjGE
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdeRWiz12aN
“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.668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHQH0FDT1b
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKrm524pBE
“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.668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLb1zSB0rG
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdiD4Ft9N0
“Yeah, I do. Do you?” The man asked in response.668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhCoEApMHL
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMi9QXZ9aRE
“Oh, uh…” Zack cleared his throat a bit and turned towards the edge again as he felt the heat spread across his face.668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCl5lhzlcK8
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2t4xOp1Fl
“I-I’ve been once or twice.” Zack replied and the man nodded, facing back to the edge as well.668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTdToLMPCr
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMNififSEA
“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.668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELdDFWyhvk
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNo6NqpURic
“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.668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBK90T2hXV
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41MsM8o1n6
“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.668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0M5XmaTrCR
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1YaDBb77Y
“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.668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hHvrhKGMC
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvFvfdoIFY
“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.668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNVp91lhCp
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiULUsQ3Qzi
“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.668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57G1gSK56R
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHIlqObZH3
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.668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHD1W5f90d
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7uDShUdCs
‘Why am I doing this? I don’t even know him.’668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MzEqsqUSj
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrJI9WaoX2
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.668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMdY1LXEYs
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeeZI0C8Cgi
‘I just met him a few minutes ago, why do I want to help him?’668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCOkyzkSU5
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIJTwaZBgR
Luckily, Zacks weight caused him to fall quicker, gaining on him more and more as the ground grew ever closer.668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4n5NOgWo9g
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWnhKrAWbd
‘I’m always taking lives...But, he’s different, somehow...He deserves to live, even if he doesn’t want to…’668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNqpazsOto
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJaP0StvIE
Zack reached his hand out to the man and grabbed onto his arm.668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbcPIqOSFy
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6uJhFnxwv
‘I want him to live!’668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprc3Tv8Zmc
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevq56Qvs7Z
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.668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAX9gFu7cS0
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkDZQUkjzJ
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.668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuH1cgxZ9X2
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6v3d1RGVZ
“A-Are you alright…?” Zack asked slowly before the man pulled away from him, quickly moving away from him.668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmdAxYxnWQ
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPXIAWxISr
“Why the hell did you do that?! You ruined everything!” The man yelled at Zack, making him flinch.668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuZ32Li1qu
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJjs92YKYY
“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.668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdekfx1LxT
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzwcC3NZ94
“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.668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3E1YjMafUz
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MGkYZMDzL
“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.668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK10yg0co01
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTltT0hz3xv
“We could be friends.” Zack said with a smile. The man looked up at him in confusion.668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASuKISBmUP
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsppSbKJoY6
"What?" He asked in disbelief and Zack rubbed the back of his neck.668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgbslH1Qyp
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAUGh42sKk
"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.668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dBRGyzjjE
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UBv8wyd50
"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.668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNqaTmS2iL
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2Aq8VQXNt
"I'm Abelle. What's your name?" The man asked, catching Zack off guard.668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTpWlJscho
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATnwwHujh0
"Oh, uh, it's Zack." He answered and Abelle nodded.668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCulu52uwJH
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIdmfYOe21
"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.668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDwLMQArjw
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvySi5MLUYv
Once they found the staircase, they left the trail and Abelle let out a breath of disbelief as he turned to Zack.668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOat8x249JH
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYRlzlbD0C
"Are you hurt in anyway?" Abelle asked with concern as he went over to Zack. Zack gave him a smile and shrugged.668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYVnu40dMn
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQf8KSnluIM
"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.668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRfxQY4PGU
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wNfZefAi3
"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.668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zk597VNJs
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtTiIjw9t7
"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.668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAwXRC4xjl
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaXJRD84ww
"Alright, so I guess I'll message you later." Zack said before turning and beginning to walk away.668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBtPjTSOW6
668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2Z6tgvYmO
"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.668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUxA41Oc2b
