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.698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwIKhyYhzV

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.698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0sz8xMyj2

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.698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWD3ec98ht

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.698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM80L9Fbiwr

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.698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtaq0zSFMQH
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWmvh1MUwY
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.698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlS9BgegLkV
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5Bt4dAKqM
“It’s um...A nice night tonight.” Zack said in a soft voice. The man didn’t look away from the edge, however.698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJl1Sdysss7
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2yikVsxgM
“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.698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdn9UfwQYZx
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZFAJomU1J
“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.698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMS5fCHNRY
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxpwG5lj3r
“Yeah, I do. Do you?” The man asked in response.698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8D5SOgHftY
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtMymVJF8h
“Oh, uh…” Zack cleared his throat a bit and turned towards the edge again as he felt the heat spread across his face.698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ybnvGe0Yf
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQv3uXjEXQ
“I-I’ve been once or twice.” Zack replied and the man nodded, facing back to the edge as well.698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJarZuN7WvT
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYpzZGUvtO
“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.698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAd4pgI7uc
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCJtFx0t9l
“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.698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoEigbBq24
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4zp57RcKR
“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.698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN68GLzyhAa
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnynCf2cWBL
“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.698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTXbrwD2vF
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigClKqhty2
“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.698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJelf75h5nX
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwC3qynJOd2
“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.698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZ8Yniidl2
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAKIFseNRJ
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.698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BIiQ6ECs2
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqMX1061g8
‘Why am I doing this? I don’t even know him.’698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5ZUjK9Y5j
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkvwO4UkLB
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.698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97fb3BpDh4
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1V1YApsdA
‘I just met him a few minutes ago, why do I want to help him?’698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7QAHnW70J
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PPlAI0x3v
Luckily, Zacks weight caused him to fall quicker, gaining on him more and more as the ground grew ever closer.698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcYVTdFAzv
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9fjC9Uoxq
‘I’m always taking lives...But, he’s different, somehow...He deserves to live, even if he doesn’t want to…’698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Yoa0OkBqv
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbwVolqyDg
Zack reached his hand out to the man and grabbed onto his arm.698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nN7oLTNOm
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxIhcERYyB
‘I want him to live!’698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3JGFGzRTK
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzC6LUZYZE
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.698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXaGwTgSAM
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIuqXaUpxy
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.698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGAYOF4TqP
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwMvq9EB1p
“A-Are you alright…?” Zack asked slowly before the man pulled away from him, quickly moving away from him.698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLtbpUsVm5
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVrDCtCaoy
“Why the hell did you do that?! You ruined everything!” The man yelled at Zack, making him flinch.698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8cxVce75H
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2Ku4jFPTC
“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.698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QlXlbz5tq
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gMZCxp6x1
“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.698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4PZkPjYLC
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1Wk03hmaX
“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.698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhH3jVl01EP
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSGh9ayDdG
“We could be friends.” Zack said with a smile. The man looked up at him in confusion.698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWppCKn7EGV
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QVSP0nnSL
"What?" He asked in disbelief and Zack rubbed the back of his neck.698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeP5UiCSaM0
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKKTBT7ORf
"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.698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4lsh7VOUk
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoprMj2YZih
"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.698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJORhUPLpBX
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWIRt5zrfH
"I'm Abelle. What's your name?" The man asked, catching Zack off guard.698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOO5QOpS1UE
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yDKlku7gj
"Oh, uh, it's Zack." He answered and Abelle nodded.698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81DrhbzVsV
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyTWAaI8Iy
"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.698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5jCFTd5CM
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPaoZS3YC4
Once they found the staircase, they left the trail and Abelle let out a breath of disbelief as he turned to Zack.698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ibrRDxEPd
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcABzL5VAb
"Are you hurt in anyway?" Abelle asked with concern as he went over to Zack. Zack gave him a smile and shrugged.698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdv2By9s13
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhQpRAuIbK
"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.698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kkGPdJubI
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCX5XWb5Jt
"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.698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEVfZBhRj7
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3c8OylwyC
"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.698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDZk8QGwX3
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3S4UZ2q8T
"Alright, so I guess I'll message you later." Zack said before turning and beginning to walk away.698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2eCsmCt6z
698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9YpWqKhAq
"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.698Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXTDatkv3t
