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.1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdvXkm1ZiI

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.1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13ps2dwBb2

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.1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2V4zstJ4mR

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.1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2tuB0fXbE

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.1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyQWTP9Otb

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.1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LnY4mRTpZ
1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsbUUQRYac
“It’s um...A nice night tonight.” Zack said in a soft voice. The man didn’t look away from the edge, however.1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQI1kGFtHO2
1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQi67toiXLb
“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.1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNInKoTV69
1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2Da43q3KK
“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.1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7UM0WBBBy
1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovbUXbqRsW
“Yeah, I do. Do you?” The man asked in response.1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHG6lG0JzGI
1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2XUSbIozv
“Oh, uh…” Zack cleared his throat a bit and turned towards the edge again as he felt the heat spread across his face.1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mIInP5UPp
1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwULVkkyJjW
“I-I’ve been once or twice.” Zack replied and the man nodded, facing back to the edge as well.1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbochnthx9F
1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nkeT8WICh
“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.1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktYpKuvcVs
1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDW50WHSfpv
“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.1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1seFYUqkY
1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQzpop5XsU
“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.1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs45Hbd4453
1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSOJyZkhkn
“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.1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyqCMIPxYD
1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwX7KZEVJn
“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.1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyLzIDGXCy
1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mdd8HYcKI
“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.1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOIfwA8NdR
1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Jlev39cNf
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.1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmNWR3cMIZ
1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalEFPdMDll
‘Why am I doing this? I don’t even know him.’1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4jnrVym3C
1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9Q41x5LgT
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.1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAP8x8K3n4
1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2rKnhEkmn
‘I just met him a few minutes ago, why do I want to help him?’1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPIaA2UuJc
1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPasUDid20t
Luckily, Zacks weight caused him to fall quicker, gaining on him more and more as the ground grew ever closer.1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7lNJ1039N
1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfDWXmcdHU
‘I’m always taking lives...But, he’s different, somehow...He deserves to live, even if he doesn’t want to…’1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqEGt1fRF0
1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4GE0EvqMo
Zack reached his hand out to the man and grabbed onto his arm.1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQjK6jFTkP
1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4M7CeahI5
‘I want him to live!’1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Wa385cgXA
1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZMw4FE7sG
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.1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbgkwWVYve
1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytmryVTXVP
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.1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ546GFZ5vxj
1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykhQODIxbZ
“A-Are you alright…?” Zack asked slowly before the man pulled away from him, quickly moving away from him.1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qiIYQe4jc
1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2Khb9JAUS
“Why the hell did you do that?! You ruined everything!” The man yelled at Zack, making him flinch.1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ktq96TjjP
1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfLvtL6DYJ
“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.1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMUKAicqv1
1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTSZskizHe
“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.1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHltX3PHUct
1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PdKi4W0jq
“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.1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpslpi191G
1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8r2Z7T0Om
“We could be friends.” Zack said with a smile. The man looked up at him in confusion.1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIv0e6GlkVm
1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiE5ktUu4hY
"What?" He asked in disbelief and Zack rubbed the back of his neck.1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPGhf8bC5v
1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBJWlPPWA5
"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.1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHA3C8MGMZ4
1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbggHS9Iex
"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.1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjO8gOBHKJM
1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zCx1UmsAs
"I'm Abelle. What's your name?" The man asked, catching Zack off guard.1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuu1GYTT4fk
1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJaNOoDcsua
"Oh, uh, it's Zack." He answered and Abelle nodded.1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2vgLPqC6n
1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnmz0NJYMq
"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.1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpl4nGqsGiw
1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0etCVJtO3
Once they found the staircase, they left the trail and Abelle let out a breath of disbelief as he turned to Zack.1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMVI4LhhbC
1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdWcAtwHAj
"Are you hurt in anyway?" Abelle asked with concern as he went over to Zack. Zack gave him a smile and shrugged.1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3FI9CkFSJ
1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5o7efqqLtZ
"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.1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwS1ONQC9jN
1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDm2c1nMSln
"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.1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8JwM323ma
1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdA01V7IRa
"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.1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJYualTTzN
1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujTY9CQGAy
"Alright, so I guess I'll message you later." Zack said before turning and beginning to walk away.1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpB0b5vnDp
1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4EiSHlrUy
"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.1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfAXj4r9zL
