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.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXejmZlCD9

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.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzZXaJVhio

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.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZTcf6yiJs

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.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi21vARxgl0

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.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAjq6W68N5
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpl7EvxkUbk
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.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjv4gXG1nCz
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIm2GjPDTR
“It’s um...A nice night tonight.” Zack said in a soft voice. The man didn’t look away from the edge, however.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuurnGD7N3j
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIZSSFOMwe
“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.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6lW3XSeXR
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukkb9QR6wF
“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.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSwfE5D79D
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuWuvpcu2b
“Yeah, I do. Do you?” The man asked in response.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvWBW1lW4i
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7YzHPB7wB
“Oh, uh…” Zack cleared his throat a bit and turned towards the edge again as he felt the heat spread across his face.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNBz5xwytZ
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlORqF4m7c
“I-I’ve been once or twice.” Zack replied and the man nodded, facing back to the edge as well.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Um5wXKQCn
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeziQpQujs4
“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.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEk2FRvWFs
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnNoMEM5H9
“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.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhhXWaX881
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAvNMq8zZX
“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.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjy7eRGkQq
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAWCXmVnQi
“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.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpih5gV2nV
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FrWY97J5q
“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.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexTVqkAgsp
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPK6gHYcle
“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.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIhCa3S4bI
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8YUfD0dD7
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.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuW6EYgK2s
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJDJAfGONc
‘Why am I doing this? I don’t even know him.’726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbYkf102IW
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenrOrLBCEY
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.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNyczCmEUl
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqGynL9FQf
‘I just met him a few minutes ago, why do I want to help him?’726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9sPbtNlID
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgFfljLSoA
Luckily, Zacks weight caused him to fall quicker, gaining on him more and more as the ground grew ever closer.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDIqfWf53S
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcwwOrt9sn
‘I’m always taking lives...But, he’s different, somehow...He deserves to live, even if he doesn’t want to…’726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkdnrgVxXi
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOoGRsw52mz
Zack reached his hand out to the man and grabbed onto his arm.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjrxcEwVCS
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYaokjGgVH
‘I want him to live!’726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lcdvtaWgv
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmPcMGr2ur
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.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvchYE6fYLK
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjaQgZKHV9H
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.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceY4e8MfMx
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyscnCRXVXw
“A-Are you alright…?” Zack asked slowly before the man pulled away from him, quickly moving away from him.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzK7D2ztgZ5
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0NjeTBcMy
“Why the hell did you do that?! You ruined everything!” The man yelled at Zack, making him flinch.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwZnKNAALl
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIp6Egiroi
“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.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtebNiLMLPh
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJA4qCHuEt5
“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.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpv9QPAQxy
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQNhFwXJ0A
“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.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI16xsYVZuM
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8vKJgtVCq
“We could be friends.” Zack said with a smile. The man looked up at him in confusion.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8ADAEM7ab
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SuF5ybsTZ
"What?" He asked in disbelief and Zack rubbed the back of his neck.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0aMoR6sir
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1Ynv6X0Lw
"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.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsZybPxvJJ
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtI09dzcg1
"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.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFueYb8ydMa
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYaGhfph10
"I'm Abelle. What's your name?" The man asked, catching Zack off guard.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6TJWFeQKq
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQtj9zxdcf
"Oh, uh, it's Zack." He answered and Abelle nodded.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7p4LnxL5Q
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0XWEJOovA
"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.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmv0zdITeTC
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlaBNc0fFkn
Once they found the staircase, they left the trail and Abelle let out a breath of disbelief as he turned to Zack.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5ekzWqtGJ
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWHM1G3WFU
"Are you hurt in anyway?" Abelle asked with concern as he went over to Zack. Zack gave him a smile and shrugged.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfidlkidynj
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlhFIUEdaj
"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.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZzuY4r4jh
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RurCgKhjL
"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.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURTC4tzZco
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjK7dMkUELR
"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.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMay2HbW6T
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmY0aeYvrM
"Alright, so I guess I'll message you later." Zack said before turning and beginning to walk away.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrYNwDUday
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbvhlzqjId
"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.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrv2VbkUvZC
