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.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5UhFTdAlG

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.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKxVq4xBD5

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.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUakH1yZJNr

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.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPOJJFHUl5

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.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJszHZmcPw

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.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTv71ylozm
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7b9PNOaD5
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.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpxwg72WIr
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVc68jtLilz
“It’s um...A nice night tonight.” Zack said in a soft voice. The man didn’t look away from the edge, however.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskRNErfmoG
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4pVCGOk4L
“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.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKlRyw8o9k
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXz49Zq4L5
“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.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouS6Unp066
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPC1eXrMgY
“Yeah, I do. Do you?” The man asked in response.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpoFKDgHcO
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqp4vfPgfeY
“Oh, uh…” Zack cleared his throat a bit and turned towards the edge again as he felt the heat spread across his face.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxR6thLR5x
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHuybWR4Rr
“I-I’ve been once or twice.” Zack replied and the man nodded, facing back to the edge as well.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wy30r6ZfJ
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kYBRUGpXw
“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.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BWtd0Jy87
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKY8uYF7VY3
“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.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGNAGiMJqZ
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoH4EfElCe
“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.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡej5rcECOSy
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMpEauRrgl
“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.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9yifuFe2n
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UZSx0CnaX
“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.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8v1BfHLjtR
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6T7ifyvVJ
“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.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2Va6crMcz
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwIhzSXYRM
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.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeU0iN6uKzL
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnh03xVH90j
‘Why am I doing this? I don’t even know him.’621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ215Dn9Dx84
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQonR84fXiD
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.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURfzo8R2TA
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UCCgWqtf3
‘I just met him a few minutes ago, why do I want to help him?’621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzeY3pmRi1
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9xg99ANN3
Luckily, Zacks weight caused him to fall quicker, gaining on him more and more as the ground grew ever closer.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5gF8oZsCj
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyB9MOEUC9B
‘I’m always taking lives...But, he’s different, somehow...He deserves to live, even if he doesn’t want to…’621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMvqRQ4EeZ
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuILa8REPJM
Zack reached his hand out to the man and grabbed onto his arm.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9izRwn1Qme
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjxIFR7azC
‘I want him to live!’621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4Qfkc5lHU
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhm5JpB7bHS
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.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5COkkCDu95
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmA1FoAY7p5
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.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSUUeCAtxO
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtNdL11rtl
“A-Are you alright…?” Zack asked slowly before the man pulled away from him, quickly moving away from him.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlV8D7xCsMz
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAZRXZhVrQ
“Why the hell did you do that?! You ruined everything!” The man yelled at Zack, making him flinch.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Hsz36eQ5p
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8fUkAfBwd
“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.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFrFwkV7Ip
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9TAjBDXeR
“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.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBVb8kow6K
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTe8EPcOb5C
“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.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ROKTFzfrU
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjqtC4aD3r
“We could be friends.” Zack said with a smile. The man looked up at him in confusion.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNy42FPCZyz
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnn217GwrTE
"What?" He asked in disbelief and Zack rubbed the back of his neck.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXPsglmjXK
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HWSRC7zLJ
"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.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SGrHTuaIW
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMASTsTBJxC
"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.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WFqDjRbeY
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HfmF1uTAs
"I'm Abelle. What's your name?" The man asked, catching Zack off guard.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4zPtHD5g5
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnyYLMcWWd
"Oh, uh, it's Zack." He answered and Abelle nodded.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GmGIJtwKc
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuunqwI24h7
"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.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXk3oJOnmO
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XmW7RPbdP
Once they found the staircase, they left the trail and Abelle let out a breath of disbelief as he turned to Zack.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeujiRiU0Jt
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbDjGANo0p
"Are you hurt in anyway?" Abelle asked with concern as he went over to Zack. Zack gave him a smile and shrugged.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsKPTwAxM6
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdC4tyZ1BEj
"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.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9p48myvK8
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoOO0yAW1J
"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.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmeVAerXTKg
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOAmfoimvR
"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.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFsq2gRU6g
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7wqBa881m
"Alright, so I guess I'll message you later." Zack said before turning and beginning to walk away.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJjcudAIEb
621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQImdQrUuf
"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.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWv1XQE2HJ
