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.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3x7aXx0yUS

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.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHq8VM8HJE

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.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4oyTGWgYd

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.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGoGVPU7kKJ

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.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2zMYIkXIL
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3vrjaZUeZ
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.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlodb0LtkpH
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Rx5wHvzc4
“It’s um...A nice night tonight.” Zack said in a soft voice. The man didn’t look away from the edge, however.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSg8AgibNx
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNk2OvDclxA
“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.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjSr2YbnuB
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYPpnQgue1
“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.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlRUcSR0jC
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqjE9kZWu9
“Yeah, I do. Do you?” The man asked in response.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0K382buUu
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKJbDPRzpy
“Oh, uh…” Zack cleared his throat a bit and turned towards the edge again as he felt the heat spread across his face.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9K5CyTzx4
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VQe5wJJyr
“I-I’ve been once or twice.” Zack replied and the man nodded, facing back to the edge as well.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqt7bMwRmw
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESZSr5CDDs
“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.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQsscJCjOU
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPVsI4iAi3
“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.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTRo5hmqqV
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3YzcFRKYq
“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.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8S7BSaQRx7
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGPj7dYvaL
“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.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUUXTBjclV
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgxuRgfiaD
“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.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstb8H0WuZM
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPjzUcQEBE
“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.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IyLJSpRSs
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiiM6XnymQ
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.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPj5wYmoFG
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4cL654N7c
‘Why am I doing this? I don’t even know him.’791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzraOBkeGL1
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rERoLDGMR
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.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Yv4AlJrsZ
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cMeoqd9iP
‘I just met him a few minutes ago, why do I want to help him?’791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9aqESNIsG
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsTwxhjBi4
Luckily, Zacks weight caused him to fall quicker, gaining on him more and more as the ground grew ever closer.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScakbfZK9i
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7t62OrlpNE
‘I’m always taking lives...But, he’s different, somehow...He deserves to live, even if he doesn’t want to…’791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLU4xxjJVgS
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fziz9zGKz
Zack reached his hand out to the man and grabbed onto his arm.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaU7ftdVMrJ
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TpxJFFIKt
‘I want him to live!’791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kSMkYSte8
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8IguAhXnI
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.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtu2230nnRK
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNLTwB3tOC
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.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAOzrnQSwS
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XmYFnfLbF
“A-Are you alright…?” Zack asked slowly before the man pulled away from him, quickly moving away from him.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTp79bjF0SY
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObQpqSUrZ1
“Why the hell did you do that?! You ruined everything!” The man yelled at Zack, making him flinch.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbuPPWkGt8
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmMsGV55b0
“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.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAEHQ4ssq3
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUio7voUK3m
“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.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRYaOaly11
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGlC7K8HaQ
“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.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFLWuqEX26
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcCkeeCQLh
“We could be friends.” Zack said with a smile. The man looked up at him in confusion.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTKTVtzFe5
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHVgN3Nhk4
"What?" He asked in disbelief and Zack rubbed the back of his neck.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAc5BW7Im9
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56vOFjcISM
"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.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmhltFgRP0
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZTk4dqKpo
"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.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5AZR2uBFu
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Sa2fbswAH
"I'm Abelle. What's your name?" The man asked, catching Zack off guard.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm26bskZ1qX
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0aiipBPIG9
"Oh, uh, it's Zack." He answered and Abelle nodded.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOJWQianQl
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSv7TDxbYig
"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.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbF7F55uMqq
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JxQDsj3Qq
Once they found the staircase, they left the trail and Abelle let out a breath of disbelief as he turned to Zack.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukE5AFopgI
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0yjL7cpWc
"Are you hurt in anyway?" Abelle asked with concern as he went over to Zack. Zack gave him a smile and shrugged.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHLhmdeiO2
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡys6HA46aVX
"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.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0AZHC547V
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtA5B2VEBG9
"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.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8uk8NApoI
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNE8FK1Y0eP
"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.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07Mp8wYzep
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7Dcqt2X1C
"Alright, so I guess I'll message you later." Zack said before turning and beginning to walk away.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgile8Itgom
791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3o2EE5Mpuo
"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.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGKIIpPxpC
