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.790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNn2rnOSD9p

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.790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcm7um7sxn4

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.790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jqIVXWDer

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.790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTg54J34iX

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.790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4XTqZvA6Q

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.790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbgYd0PUBn
790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhpFYmKGcP
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.790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWypx3AJqXU
790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgugp203OYP
“It’s um...A nice night tonight.” Zack said in a soft voice. The man didn’t look away from the edge, however.790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQ9SCQXcm4
790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPZbLCP1ix
“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.790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25MvR10xkY
790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDwuwycLyW
“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.790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJ9rWPOKcW
790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwsi9elcJe
“Yeah, I do. Do you?” The man asked in response.790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9wRLbT5JE
790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLadGN9VAI
“Oh, uh…” Zack cleared his throat a bit and turned towards the edge again as he felt the heat spread across his face.790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoaDMcr23Fp
790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IHw8f5mux
“I-I’ve been once or twice.” Zack replied and the man nodded, facing back to the edge as well.790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Guxk2AkvO
790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzA1irEBk4
“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.790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQV3LZIdQlq
790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyyu7cw3KV
“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.790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZlDT0A3gn
790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgpl5gKCpg
“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.790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBfZ40mWnz
790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXb0BHnybx3
“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.790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6j2zNjvFR
790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKvB9YYRkR
“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.790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mggl4Ca3K
790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4KUHFvnEz
“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.790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4yTIvTahP
790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JeslzytpS
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.790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbUjJSLhzo
790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgst2JzPEXU
‘Why am I doing this? I don’t even know him.’790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBl0pcGVmg
790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvErDP2yba
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.790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYVGKLbzfS
790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHGn9UBvQX
‘I just met him a few minutes ago, why do I want to help him?’790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHV6umgnXu
790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsR8p2xVYhL
Luckily, Zacks weight caused him to fall quicker, gaining on him more and more as the ground grew ever closer.790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogUEG6JPsJ
790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmg5x0rc4z
‘I’m always taking lives...But, he’s different, somehow...He deserves to live, even if he doesn’t want to…’790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvTdhhUSUb
790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTitx3GCbP7
Zack reached his hand out to the man and grabbed onto his arm.790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7oZ6mlI9x
790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSy2wyhtxOU
‘I want him to live!’790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaojdoKRyk8
790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2h4exZ6D0
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.790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaJZhBcEqH
790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIwk5mRAJm
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.790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhQDVGSu2x
790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIpGdiO9gg
“A-Are you alright…?” Zack asked slowly before the man pulled away from him, quickly moving away from him.790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9V8g5R85DK
790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOi5fxbdGmQ
“Why the hell did you do that?! You ruined everything!” The man yelled at Zack, making him flinch.790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoglBJ0Rgl7
790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjntURm8CbL
“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.790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzTTjvLYHy
790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfPguxXxbG
“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.790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNsuQQMrIP
790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISA04n4xjh
“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.790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq68xwOHzQn
790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBKyhvcQmH
“We could be friends.” Zack said with a smile. The man looked up at him in confusion.790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLNIhJxBxs
790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEIwUkeU4j
"What?" He asked in disbelief and Zack rubbed the back of his neck.790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYqH0DBI4n
790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoufUCqnEy
"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.790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmdogrjepY
790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcfM3dQN5w
"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.790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9nlrkq9sp
790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1py1IHrkXf
"I'm Abelle. What's your name?" The man asked, catching Zack off guard.790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmUbm1EzVd
790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaG3BBVHJT5
"Oh, uh, it's Zack." He answered and Abelle nodded.790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIAdA1jB2y
790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVx43acm1Z
"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.790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7K9dtBJgeY
790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTakMqx1Hp8
Once they found the staircase, they left the trail and Abelle let out a breath of disbelief as he turned to Zack.790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1VpgdDXyU
790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIFVybTxA2
"Are you hurt in anyway?" Abelle asked with concern as he went over to Zack. Zack gave him a smile and shrugged.790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJxLlRxZQi
790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTlmOegdz9
"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.790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rHPED4EWa
790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnSrpWzpvA
"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.790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPaGmoeG11
790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkWKZwzqyV
"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.790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxmBmIilDI
790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgEU0ffHpi
"Alright, so I guess I'll message you later." Zack said before turning and beginning to walk away.790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKV5VmyeGL3
790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGonhkhVWUn
"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.790Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOWBFHP26n
