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.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXokmnpiAN

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.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ydE4Rfdeg

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.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfH8Wbwg1x0

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.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2pE73ppVY

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.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCR4UZV2w6E

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.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3NC916Jue
700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDejCVdrEy
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.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6LJT7C1hN
700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYl897OoXgk
“It’s um...A nice night tonight.” Zack said in a soft voice. The man didn’t look away from the edge, however.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPijl1SFAnF
700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrjzEtHMuv
“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.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpV8Rcb9Snf
700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRN9RSkNdQ
“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.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJqhcOfEdP
700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4UQ4ZRJa0H
“Yeah, I do. Do you?” The man asked in response.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83LjgFD5r6
700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2duVoNex22
“Oh, uh…” Zack cleared his throat a bit and turned towards the edge again as he felt the heat spread across his face.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FkjGSHlon
700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCit0IOv16
“I-I’ve been once or twice.” Zack replied and the man nodded, facing back to the edge as well.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUWJrsv8PE
700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AKBsSdCqb
“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.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmjAhv0gxv
700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERNPeriZtt
“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.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2zV3KMRrl
700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UmawIiaXp
“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.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5w56FoPwqe
700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4QbnTt8lH
“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.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgyaG3Xcdy
700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTN1l9K6I3
“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.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe500DfGOFd
700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNuHRi278k
“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.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7jqKUar7B
700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjuKEuhDEc
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.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2QTWB2ikE
700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xOaUmLd8J
‘Why am I doing this? I don’t even know him.’700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIsXnpunhR
700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwaakzWl4M
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.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMEkoIsgZ8
700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUtrLgpuKe
‘I just met him a few minutes ago, why do I want to help him?’700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDoZtSXYBH
700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlV0yAYMhhk
Luckily, Zacks weight caused him to fall quicker, gaining on him more and more as the ground grew ever closer.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhHsQklP1w
700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWPi1sYLND
‘I’m always taking lives...But, he’s different, somehow...He deserves to live, even if he doesn’t want to…’700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEevfTRggJJ
700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtLJUM74EN
Zack reached his hand out to the man and grabbed onto his arm.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡseAh5xUs3u
700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuP9mt7OZX
‘I want him to live!’700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyoMWTFe0D
700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlfiuSOrGP
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.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJv7R4VLcu
700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5pmjHqIoQ
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.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORvBVAgSuW
700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvHCQVSBoY
“A-Are you alright…?” Zack asked slowly before the man pulled away from him, quickly moving away from him.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdG9BwZGwsZ
700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJ8s8rYtAN
“Why the hell did you do that?! You ruined everything!” The man yelled at Zack, making him flinch.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8CCIFNufG
700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxzd69ZSGk
“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.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qkZo1bROX
700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSbjkLm2t1
“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.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2747hXdCo
700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡed62UxDaup
“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.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7d6et4VtB
700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEdnsO6vf4
“We could be friends.” Zack said with a smile. The man looked up at him in confusion.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfz8JWK9nAT
700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7AzSg1cFF
"What?" He asked in disbelief and Zack rubbed the back of his neck.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpIdJRINQi
700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZaCa6rF5tm
"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.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5J8Hnrymvt
700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gNxBes1Nm
"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.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4V52Jf73W
700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1ltFlWiHd
"I'm Abelle. What's your name?" The man asked, catching Zack off guard.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyllAmcnGqz
700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgKpDSzaTI
"Oh, uh, it's Zack." He answered and Abelle nodded.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrH18Mw5xde
700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlObrF9zRC
"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.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOR4DDk7eq7
700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmyWc7jbGu
Once they found the staircase, they left the trail and Abelle let out a breath of disbelief as he turned to Zack.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALn1WFBhHy
700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQem4KnHMW
"Are you hurt in anyway?" Abelle asked with concern as he went over to Zack. Zack gave him a smile and shrugged.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXcvjUwhtk
700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQuWaL3XL0
"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.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BKRVMnuJF
700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HOscFmacC
"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.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMS2Pk9DJix
700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3bsQf5Rco
"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.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgSLPh6EB1
700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJX2apye9pX
"Alright, so I guess I'll message you later." Zack said before turning and beginning to walk away.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4c08anJHS
700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNs1pz3JjX4
"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.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Ys3rxUr5Z
