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.431Please respect copyright.PENANAxDiQQ0mNY4

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.431Please respect copyright.PENANAJxcqvAxUfx

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.431Please respect copyright.PENANAfpB4CjDKbC
431Please respect copyright.PENANAegjX21WRjb
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.431Please respect copyright.PENANAIcHFprpveg

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.431Please respect copyright.PENANAb339VIyefN

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.431Please respect copyright.PENANAK7TWXkuF6t
431Please respect copyright.PENANAhN7GRRX7g0
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.431Please respect copyright.PENANA9GZgack3Rt
431Please respect copyright.PENANArKfWNvfC6e
“It’s um...A nice night tonight.” Zack said in a soft voice. The man didn’t look away from the edge, however.431Please respect copyright.PENANAVXYDl12K3t
431Please respect copyright.PENANAOxTuy6tiEL
“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.431Please respect copyright.PENANAF7W9JsbJoM
431Please respect copyright.PENANAtlybYJ9CWI
“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.431Please respect copyright.PENANAO2qXdtrjJL
431Please respect copyright.PENANAJD8Y5dH3gY
“Yeah, I do. Do you?” The man asked in response.431Please respect copyright.PENANA5U3dR2FeZu
431Please respect copyright.PENANAexMtZiYzme
“Oh, uh…” Zack cleared his throat a bit and turned towards the edge again as he felt the heat spread across his face.431Please respect copyright.PENANAGgp07v7DG1
431Please respect copyright.PENANAHiijdxOrLw
“I-I’ve been once or twice.” Zack replied and the man nodded, facing back to the edge as well.431Please respect copyright.PENANAY5JdPmnvr6
431Please respect copyright.PENANAvPwg05prPe
“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.431Please respect copyright.PENANAKsEHp8Gquh
431Please respect copyright.PENANASkhjdesKuP
“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.431Please respect copyright.PENANA7hFJLvc0YK
431Please respect copyright.PENANAmnXiJtbFnX
“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.431Please respect copyright.PENANAy6YJdsIvkh
431Please respect copyright.PENANAriIIcIyJmE
“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.431Please respect copyright.PENANAi3FDTomYxX
431Please respect copyright.PENANABT5tuN2V2i
“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.431Please respect copyright.PENANAPAQ5vWFAsA
431Please respect copyright.PENANAzsOQoXgc1I
“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.431Please respect copyright.PENANAJQKgAkCgZq
431Please respect copyright.PENANAGoCyViI0N0
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.431Please respect copyright.PENANAqyxDnAKNs4
431Please respect copyright.PENANAFMGbfxkT0m
‘Why am I doing this? I don’t even know him.’431Please respect copyright.PENANAxs2dp0WGic
431Please respect copyright.PENANAk8hrlEYBxd
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.431Please respect copyright.PENANAA2LRIgi8dA
431Please respect copyright.PENANAEMuargbwOb
‘I just met him a few minutes ago, why do I want to help him?’431Please respect copyright.PENANADZceTxSddU
431Please respect copyright.PENANAgy7zh6RSVp
Luckily, Zacks weight caused him to fall quicker, gaining on him more and more as the ground grew ever closer.431Please respect copyright.PENANAJo3pIfHTaS
431Please respect copyright.PENANAtFh6GM9A0s
‘I’m always taking lives...But, he’s different, somehow...He deserves to live, even if he doesn’t want to…’431Please respect copyright.PENANAwpAWOhsMTZ
431Please respect copyright.PENANABK5NFbJm4Q
Zack reached his hand out to the man and grabbed onto his arm.431Please respect copyright.PENANA8uua4G5plp
431Please respect copyright.PENANAWgPOtR9Gjz
‘I want him to live!’431Please respect copyright.PENANA8ycSCgCpr4
431Please respect copyright.PENANALkCrdwPkxv
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.431Please respect copyright.PENANAugO2ThYWph
431Please respect copyright.PENANAmRtYVDeSmZ
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.431Please respect copyright.PENANAWxJTuHobio
431Please respect copyright.PENANAVieaDzRRih
“A-Are you alright…?” Zack asked slowly before the man pulled away from him, quickly moving away from him.431Please respect copyright.PENANAx4i51vRkjA
431Please respect copyright.PENANAOAbjeub6Bg
“Why the hell did you do that?! You ruined everything!” The man yelled at Zack, making him flinch.431Please respect copyright.PENANAmZ77D3OxOQ
431Please respect copyright.PENANAK7FfpUycCp
“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.431Please respect copyright.PENANADkXyNXK5BK
431Please respect copyright.PENANAHB5wSurWgO
“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.431Please respect copyright.PENANAoL9XZu9JDh
431Please respect copyright.PENANA0oMZk0ifiM
“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.431Please respect copyright.PENANATOhN7qpqGd
431Please respect copyright.PENANAlFg8togKwz
“We could be friends.” Zack said with a smile. The man looked up at him in confusion.431Please respect copyright.PENANAaZCZKPdYEN
431Please respect copyright.PENANAPcqOiNZm6Z
"What?" He asked in disbelief and Zack rubbed the back of his neck.431Please respect copyright.PENANAQ4Ycgpji72
431Please respect copyright.PENANA0UdOoRrNWk
"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.431Please respect copyright.PENANAFfjQK1IVY7
431Please respect copyright.PENANAA28VQuMnaJ
"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.431Please respect copyright.PENANAYZILy3oEW3
431Please respect copyright.PENANAvIvQ24s6vL
"I'm Abelle. What's your name?" The man asked, catching Zack off guard.431Please respect copyright.PENANAVXwecPkM5x
431Please respect copyright.PENANAeJKofYseLy
"Oh, uh, it's Zack." He answered and Abelle nodded.431Please respect copyright.PENANAlRAwjFCS3X
431Please respect copyright.PENANA1RTR9bOG8d
"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.431Please respect copyright.PENANACXyhxZKKPN
431Please respect copyright.PENANA6sDxF0EHCa
Once they found the staircase, they left the trail and Abelle let out a breath of disbelief as he turned to Zack.431Please respect copyright.PENANANb83Ablazj
431Please respect copyright.PENANAkOTpnHV4Ua
"Are you hurt in anyway?" Abelle asked with concern as he went over to Zack. Zack gave him a smile and shrugged.431Please respect copyright.PENANANdkr503eTo
431Please respect copyright.PENANA8efqVFMVlG
"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.431Please respect copyright.PENANANyEX2J310l
431Please respect copyright.PENANAWSgqCkhsyW
"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.431Please respect copyright.PENANAD3pJXrjKPX
431Please respect copyright.PENANAuXMhfKaD3K
"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.431Please respect copyright.PENANAlUJrIhfQsa
431Please respect copyright.PENANAKKRVTcyzaJ
"Alright, so I guess I'll message you later." Zack said before turning and beginning to walk away.431Please respect copyright.PENANAE9bUp5TSjl
431Please respect copyright.PENANA4IugX3iMF7
"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.431Please respect copyright.PENANACyVOpkvbnc
