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.725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAPQ5zWUPJ

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.725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RCotnu1cx

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.725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtCjyGx9Wr

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.725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJ3XEJHAdQ

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.725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3d148ylhPC
725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2wpnEcd92
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.725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvDK6uUZnQ
725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzZUVNT6U1
“It’s um...A nice night tonight.” Zack said in a soft voice. The man didn’t look away from the edge, however.725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡme9WhoOPDT
725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSwAIo23oO
“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.725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBSVOz63fp
725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jD1CIE75i
“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.725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cFdPIX86q
725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGweVsjYu9e
“Yeah, I do. Do you?” The man asked in response.725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyfE2EhLGT
725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78ZVbuDtzd
“Oh, uh…” Zack cleared his throat a bit and turned towards the edge again as he felt the heat spread across his face.725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FYjkoPTe0
725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpOdj4F1f7
“I-I’ve been once or twice.” Zack replied and the man nodded, facing back to the edge as well.725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTr2zvUy6Ww
725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRycSoQqf8M
“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.725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIS2aTNPJM
725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCP09I7IykB
“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.725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIHC3L4i4l
725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mhcsJVOJZ
“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.725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGZRfarC7D
725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jJWLSlVUe
“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.725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkttCvVs2a
725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2sBUWAHhx
“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.725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBsa7bc7PD
725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3zbtdVgX0
“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.725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWA81chI2Fk
725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtIArUbo9N
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.725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDFo7Y6H2u
725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XdaN7InNQ
‘Why am I doing this? I don’t even know him.’725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdijxocbk0Q
725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcf7BWV0K76
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.725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQMa5qa9h1
725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAJXc4MVu1
‘I just met him a few minutes ago, why do I want to help him?’725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFMTB4i5wc
725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiThY1TrL1
Luckily, Zacks weight caused him to fall quicker, gaining on him more and more as the ground grew ever closer.725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDUCeMS3cN
725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLjotNLEjW
‘I’m always taking lives...But, he’s different, somehow...He deserves to live, even if he doesn’t want to…’725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCK5yKrEh1m
725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vFZiouKoI
Zack reached his hand out to the man and grabbed onto his arm.725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVpvkTJKnj
725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWayukulEAu
‘I want him to live!’725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBDn56ou3m
725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTL8w4BO6EE
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.725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MQMaiwYB8
725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CnxcPuJqF
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.725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvFvZ6pWn7
725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQ3zRzkzfj
“A-Are you alright…?” Zack asked slowly before the man pulled away from him, quickly moving away from him.725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJVxdRl4OV
725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxxqr2zGSN
“Why the hell did you do that?! You ruined everything!” The man yelled at Zack, making him flinch.725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW67ZmXDmtl
725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWk4TjGOXEP
“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.725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJDhuUTVBc
725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFfsLFU8ZM
“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.725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmafuGnJSbp
725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63TVV2w5AT
“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.725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvB8i17vUI
725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHkryWrW1X
“We could be friends.” Zack said with a smile. The man looked up at him in confusion.725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DN7JYfkil
725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwPyeof1o7
"What?" He asked in disbelief and Zack rubbed the back of his neck.725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclXDzq1RAs
725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gvvx6BhLC
"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.725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2L19VfZjPT
725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewU5EPrMcG
"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.725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY48agGXQgV
725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJyYEI8fYP
"I'm Abelle. What's your name?" The man asked, catching Zack off guard.725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Osc4iMWq2
725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwvwriUmME
"Oh, uh, it's Zack." He answered and Abelle nodded.725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyDJvE5L2F
725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIM0gGM4UJb
"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.725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRV1XZlXmb
725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztjjP0EwPx
Once they found the staircase, they left the trail and Abelle let out a breath of disbelief as he turned to Zack.725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgo92h92FtN
725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZR7nYvbCAt
"Are you hurt in anyway?" Abelle asked with concern as he went over to Zack. Zack gave him a smile and shrugged.725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1fYCtweOa
725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZttZ7Nu3hd
"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.725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fxdFRmFyM
725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkvjMFQ60q
"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.725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVRkAWeFqd
725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAyXftoyz5
"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.725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73GvrHHCG5
725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ut6pGjFoh
"Alright, so I guess I'll message you later." Zack said before turning and beginning to walk away.725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJaA7uVRIh
725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7DGiXhX9k
"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.725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01IuLoyoHH
