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.775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNFsJHdFED

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.775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzzMeA4kWc

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.775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2YRbBtDWM

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.775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRNGvykPg5

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.775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlW2E6J3mS
775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2dEXDw9eB
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.775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ftt7rKCoq
775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQna5DxLtdc
“It’s um...A nice night tonight.” Zack said in a soft voice. The man didn’t look away from the edge, however.775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYRwzGgBLj
775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbDdaDB7bl
“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.775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJdtOz3cPc
775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRX2cbJggDl
“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.775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNIGTJSOTK
775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYrWaYcSL9
“Yeah, I do. Do you?” The man asked in response.775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhHUgERpWC
775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHP1Xf9Z6f
“Oh, uh…” Zack cleared his throat a bit and turned towards the edge again as he felt the heat spread across his face.775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn628Bz5cXu
775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2WvAjIO3u
“I-I’ve been once or twice.” Zack replied and the man nodded, facing back to the edge as well.775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCF5BaLJTkl
775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2mCpmdhQ8
“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.775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpSwTOuPgS
775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv02oi1yXYI
“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.775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7az88X3CT
775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rIZDMD1Df
“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.775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QWvj17RtA
775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTx4cpL3FB
“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.775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKoo7kBaWNj
775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CeRyEFAMT
“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.775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoi8Ie5dCCd
775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAt9Mc20nS5
“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.775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnoIrqOn6N
775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QF6HuPDLU
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.775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOBxOLMaJp
775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdjVbxfOBp
‘Why am I doing this? I don’t even know him.’775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FIX7D3AcP
775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IusqX7bfQ
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.775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqdIg9sAXu
775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegR9PxwjGP
‘I just met him a few minutes ago, why do I want to help him?’775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl19zbxf9AB
775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZtiHvrefl
Luckily, Zacks weight caused him to fall quicker, gaining on him more and more as the ground grew ever closer.775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9t6eX5GZBh
775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnE9QBgh4f
‘I’m always taking lives...But, he’s different, somehow...He deserves to live, even if he doesn’t want to…’775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsWiTb9NbM
775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLADdmK6egd
Zack reached his hand out to the man and grabbed onto his arm.775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8u3iAqWvjG
775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEpKpJs1gA
‘I want him to live!’775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH08godLRIv
775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1UR5VRsmV
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.775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0CJq9uScX
775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWFX8DBOLL
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.775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6ylRHoVih
775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SY5cqDi6x
“A-Are you alright…?” Zack asked slowly before the man pulled away from him, quickly moving away from him.775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwinUl6JwYm
775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYBQQH4SBU
“Why the hell did you do that?! You ruined everything!” The man yelled at Zack, making him flinch.775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8nBmHo0LN
775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV69bllKCPC
“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.775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvweamLHb6l
775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jjVGith6D
“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.775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyEXyEte3v
775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFLrwI2WKr
“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.775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SLayugYLw
775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEK0zEeMGM
“We could be friends.” Zack said with a smile. The man looked up at him in confusion.775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlmPCejD1B
775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0gHDSipNf
"What?" He asked in disbelief and Zack rubbed the back of his neck.775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgzglGIIeT
775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsTZtwm6mt
"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.775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexzPH0pOoQ
775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3AMe4AEOe
"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.775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JRUpCru67
775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfiFmCas4F
"I'm Abelle. What's your name?" The man asked, catching Zack off guard.775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6q2c7h1HQ3
775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLj9hTYgaU
"Oh, uh, it's Zack." He answered and Abelle nodded.775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBxVyrVGa7
775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zwSNMTvmD
"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.775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnWKC5OnHF
775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZe5nvFcNZ
Once they found the staircase, they left the trail and Abelle let out a breath of disbelief as he turned to Zack.775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KxiQPiJt4
775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DR7EA32X1
"Are you hurt in anyway?" Abelle asked with concern as he went over to Zack. Zack gave him a smile and shrugged.775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4pOxNpWsn
775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfK7zTUbPg
"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.775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqc0K6kB1E
775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSf0pDEheQ
"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.775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbgE3jy7d0
775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1aKOcdpGa
"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.775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDQ91YCtrP
775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakIUZTzAl9
"Alright, so I guess I'll message you later." Zack said before turning and beginning to walk away.775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLqZDhF5JB
775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHe0DHCZS49
"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.775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGEXDGLiLH
