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.792Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDRRlJtnVp

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.792Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2c5xBbvE7

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.792Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJQeAV9CBt

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.792Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiUUt2DvpK

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.792Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uvLrLVMSJ

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.792Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqizgrCQanI
792Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLykuU5YxT
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.792Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS750B0N8HS
792Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq33S92OUIn
“It’s um...A nice night tonight.” Zack said in a soft voice. The man didn’t look away from the edge, however.792Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFMzbBLe9a
792Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmsljxqpW7
“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.792Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcWGR4caFm
792Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSSfltxh2Q
“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.792Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNcbmKK5Ce
792Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYURNYb8gG
“Yeah, I do. Do you?” The man asked in response.792Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGc3EMp8MGz
792Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDeaLMRkddT
“Oh, uh…” Zack cleared his throat a bit and turned towards the edge again as he felt the heat spread across his face.792Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOwuOlDuLW
792Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡth6d9H9cjF
“I-I’ve been once or twice.” Zack replied and the man nodded, facing back to the edge as well.792Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmgFz8ppSb
792Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHKdQWFo1d
“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.792Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67APy7mSsK
792Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj15qvpPhII
“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.792Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbjvs8VCGL
792Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4heCgjbnu
“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.792Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupHYPL7kaU
792Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuboAy2lk63
“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.792Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMu3ZVG3eVS
792Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLgVnY0tWL
“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.792Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQwUq3C9gX
792Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yv8oaNwEL
“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.792Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IeumC239L
792Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17GiCWxTtQ
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.792Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cQleuotOQ
792Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUJ0C8KqtR
‘Why am I doing this? I don’t even know him.’792Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwM8CXDxfV
792Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6nGwvjdbW
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.792Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCoPLTv19c
792Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshdQcKMTEU
‘I just met him a few minutes ago, why do I want to help him?’792Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifnyTR0xjM
792Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwr70zyWPj
Luckily, Zacks weight caused him to fall quicker, gaining on him more and more as the ground grew ever closer.792Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTaDYZOjgF
792Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBROjxscIh
‘I’m always taking lives...But, he’s different, somehow...He deserves to live, even if he doesn’t want to…’792Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bFH5A8Fpk
792Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSeG1S5ClkJ
Zack reached his hand out to the man and grabbed onto his arm.792Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mL3R8aMnu
792Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQz8XaDGIi
‘I want him to live!’792Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlC2JsVoe8
792Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZeAzCcrFbX
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.792Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUuTMAOOqS
792Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrv0NMSdbec
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.792Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVWRcyqeOh
792Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQAGeazYJ9
“A-Are you alright…?” Zack asked slowly before the man pulled away from him, quickly moving away from him.792Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zko4rN9TU
792Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo85wyoJGlC
“Why the hell did you do that?! You ruined everything!” The man yelled at Zack, making him flinch.792Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0CMQ0htax
792Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXJISzAAAs
“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.792Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYVzxa53vQ
792Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMqouDElkg
“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.792Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lXuPGVsPK
792Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxj59VVZFR1
“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.792Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hVUUfnPrK
792Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1W988NgLv
“We could be friends.” Zack said with a smile. The man looked up at him in confusion.792Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5RcWXl2DA
792Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXO8qEqjz2M
"What?" He asked in disbelief and Zack rubbed the back of his neck.792Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJXymZmbUi
792Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKi3Mcn9P20
"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.792Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsQjBJB3Qs
792Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYbRjFs4E6
"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.792Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkhlGnKsB0
792Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEq0oQ90tJW
"I'm Abelle. What's your name?" The man asked, catching Zack off guard.792Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRcjQnPKkc
792Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UtlKeCWx4
"Oh, uh, it's Zack." He answered and Abelle nodded.792Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1I9wRCaDzt
792Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtumKpOrRfi
"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.792Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHO8Pl0dZfJ
792Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiUg56jmyf
Once they found the staircase, they left the trail and Abelle let out a breath of disbelief as he turned to Zack.792Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQY8XD6eXOF
792Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHdMJZ2sIE
"Are you hurt in anyway?" Abelle asked with concern as he went over to Zack. Zack gave him a smile and shrugged.792Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthsDagrqMt
792Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxKBFkQC6O
"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.792Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEnigOBEgp
792Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtxkAIzNoT
"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.792Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgvGQevMLV
792Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZTheLu8Cw
"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.792Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfIem5vfjM
792Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojkKDyIctk
"Alright, so I guess I'll message you later." Zack said before turning and beginning to walk away.792Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9YD4maWXi
792Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNSpvuRDuq
"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.792Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNE0vnzUJGf
