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.731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgTbHodVVf

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.731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OUMnYvBVe

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.731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDIIoNScgi

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.731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYaco3Cp9Fh

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.731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4sUXYvumi

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.731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmIoHnlcY0
731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gW6F78hcN
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.731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdmvmpT2ro
731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcZbwfhTCn
“It’s um...A nice night tonight.” Zack said in a soft voice. The man didn’t look away from the edge, however.731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51VMOkbwzX
731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuK73jrvtT
“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.731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2eR4EbW0JF
731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLptKkqntV
“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.731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXlJk7fOuq
731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzys76bsRNk
“Yeah, I do. Do you?” The man asked in response.731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBE81Dx7Lu
731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97Un3AF9N6
“Oh, uh…” Zack cleared his throat a bit and turned towards the edge again as he felt the heat spread across his face.731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpSf7kY6Pg
731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XCUbJYqix
“I-I’ve been once or twice.” Zack replied and the man nodded, facing back to the edge as well.731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTY8EDc6KPG
731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9XKHQM6Lp
“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.731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBH57PzZEWR
731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGe8cMWG6Q
“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.731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Q3qeC1UVG
731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy72TSkuNJh
“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.731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRe26TN046
731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYekdNyPdP
“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.731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4hhrLCTp7
731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYJWSyxhBN
“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.731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJrUteoTQc
731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWukumLDtE
“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.731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4417tdbhz
731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcNmWZI2Sc
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.731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZIJNc60FU
731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNz7ixQnzM
‘Why am I doing this? I don’t even know him.’731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdXMm1DlAF
731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEnJYCUqBW
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.731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMv8pyYGT5
731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsx8wJ2NPg6
‘I just met him a few minutes ago, why do I want to help him?’731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJd1WSd8pa
731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCuul6Kmyd
Luckily, Zacks weight caused him to fall quicker, gaining on him more and more as the ground grew ever closer.731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdZCgjpcHK
731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9Ngu6YIwN
‘I’m always taking lives...But, he’s different, somehow...He deserves to live, even if he doesn’t want to…’731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcb6FzsYLqB
731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvV4rMWGJ5q
Zack reached his hand out to the man and grabbed onto his arm.731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRAHcwWkxx
731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXR992RWVoC
‘I want him to live!’731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2biSHLLgx
731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtU34RpGVx
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.731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIajISHWX8
731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvFnOJXH5V
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.731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pfAhvtrxA
731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXmsEmqBhT
“A-Are you alright…?” Zack asked slowly before the man pulled away from him, quickly moving away from him.731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3okc37RwO
731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgNG7P4YQT
“Why the hell did you do that?! You ruined everything!” The man yelled at Zack, making him flinch.731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSeelaQbGHT
731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVmDksHeRR
“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.731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpJl3mnzob
731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYz6St13Ae
“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.731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFAU8g9s9y
731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcp5Ki523I
“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.731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzpurYMCaH
731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZbey3zd4O
“We could be friends.” Zack said with a smile. The man looked up at him in confusion.731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhxKWGdGhj
731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡin3mlPgvKW
"What?" He asked in disbelief and Zack rubbed the back of his neck.731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BisCcQzvT
731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWmw6TOWH5
"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.731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6CZtoLa2F
731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLJlt7jsUY
"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.731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPkOg1xEHC
731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2qyAgAL1G
"I'm Abelle. What's your name?" The man asked, catching Zack off guard.731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MAyWeDPuD
731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtisXftNg4K
"Oh, uh, it's Zack." He answered and Abelle nodded.731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7Jus5h4t9
731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9hXIBB0nV
"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.731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDORSgqhBcA
731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBUN0y1n45
Once they found the staircase, they left the trail and Abelle let out a breath of disbelief as he turned to Zack.731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AXeLwEJsG
731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0prmOkl9OB
"Are you hurt in anyway?" Abelle asked with concern as he went over to Zack. Zack gave him a smile and shrugged.731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuOhT69137
731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmL1qFuffU
"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.731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLYgA5Hr0J
731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bQq3yimZn
"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.731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfqBNzrBHj
731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHIViKodcY
"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.731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKixuuGqU27
731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VdAhuaerZ
"Alright, so I guess I'll message you later." Zack said before turning and beginning to walk away.731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHm2H1JJLV
731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3ymPloQ61
"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.731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZOEUebNAU
