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.736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11VjujVdSP

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.736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFH7Z9XJZ5

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.736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNCOeuuWYJ

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.736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWsTAqBTah

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.736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5aGF7jmnL
736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebPqMi1mg9
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.736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm40IDtXriF
736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9H1YVx0rJR
“It’s um...A nice night tonight.” Zack said in a soft voice. The man didn’t look away from the edge, however.736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6sSuZUZr6r
736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVK4vAboWN
“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.736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDivbfYeSs9
736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHYr6JR44L
“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.736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRmHnMAtPT
736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImNJ5KCzsT
“Yeah, I do. Do you?” The man asked in response.736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUpP1HirEK
736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1myaV18Xrd
“Oh, uh…” Zack cleared his throat a bit and turned towards the edge again as he felt the heat spread across his face.736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhzjPee5Xk
736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpESz5G1W2i
“I-I’ve been once or twice.” Zack replied and the man nodded, facing back to the edge as well.736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpVARgAQPn
736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VxJXI9gnW
“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.736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmRimAD1uR
736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdGYaqqObx
“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.736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHilBjfEZWq
736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡog3HQjSpA8
“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.736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6qSHhJa7b
736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hcJWSROOx
“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.736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QmheFLlI8
736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxhzNcybUG
“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.736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCcoMC45Uh
736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhx0aNwvQbx
“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.736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZqQBNdbC2
736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMaI3hSwb5R
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.736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlsdsBmOTH
736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmsDRhIdBO
‘Why am I doing this? I don’t even know him.’736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvy1UFq13eb
736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6HP3xUFAn
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.736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgbJ5yUVlr
736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihgFSPFdkl
‘I just met him a few minutes ago, why do I want to help him?’736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IjATbAjnH
736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tYRdXQKVs
Luckily, Zacks weight caused him to fall quicker, gaining on him more and more as the ground grew ever closer.736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5X9767blv
736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Tn4sIBUv2
‘I’m always taking lives...But, he’s different, somehow...He deserves to live, even if he doesn’t want to…’736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuRhGZAdmJ
736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0EuGrHUm3
Zack reached his hand out to the man and grabbed onto his arm.736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsEtUN8PUN
736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4Vkuxnx4E
‘I want him to live!’736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzmkcAdrAi
736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5yf7DhbdW
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.736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGX4kkMs9F
736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbovqNpbR9
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.736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBytaXLuMav
736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxLmadyB3w
“A-Are you alright…?” Zack asked slowly before the man pulled away from him, quickly moving away from him.736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFNEBXH4mL
736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3GE017XqD
“Why the hell did you do that?! You ruined everything!” The man yelled at Zack, making him flinch.736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33XWJKT3cu
736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFc1wzezT5
“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.736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhgiUutxHG
736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJ9ENJnGVb
“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.736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBZTratafq
736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFjUDm1H5F
“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.736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN42SxEgUBa
736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6H63pEgQ7B
“We could be friends.” Zack said with a smile. The man looked up at him in confusion.736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IVrTrw114
736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXX4FfKr7N
"What?" He asked in disbelief and Zack rubbed the back of his neck.736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1grpJUvYQX
736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDn4T1V0Tyg
"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.736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrB5N71JryW
736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOYCQjG7N4
"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.736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SEyMUCyi4
736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qvWUvzpRY
"I'm Abelle. What's your name?" The man asked, catching Zack off guard.736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwGU0qQif1
736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ573jgDutTr
"Oh, uh, it's Zack." He answered and Abelle nodded.736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRDt2kxYwx
736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5sSv8gSzC
"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.736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Raz9YC4OW
736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCBVQlFCSf
Once they found the staircase, they left the trail and Abelle let out a breath of disbelief as he turned to Zack.736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZXrUlNeTW
736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzzrmMoOKU
"Are you hurt in anyway?" Abelle asked with concern as he went over to Zack. Zack gave him a smile and shrugged.736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcelXIRPuH
736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡse4THlbzB3
"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.736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmNx8Y3lBo
736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXvIAWf2RI
"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.736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpxooTpGbN
736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7GXI0ir2e
"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.736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TA7n0L6N0
736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzkqcPIzem
"Alright, so I guess I'll message you later." Zack said before turning and beginning to walk away.736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2DPkw3Bv5
736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZ13Oc2AJc
"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.736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmb06VilEic
