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.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyS3L8J1Cp

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.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUN5ij7TVi

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.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAKMzyr3PY

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.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMAXTSvwY3

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.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdzaykvLvX

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.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Zjk96ey2l
1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9keEPlbHHp
“It’s um...A nice night tonight.” Zack said in a soft voice. The man didn’t look away from the edge, however.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38I4oZAnga
1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvjV9ydLpw
“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.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLFc8SZYeq
1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nyBmHScjK
“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.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwGgwCkPDr
1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZTiJFI07d
“Yeah, I do. Do you?” The man asked in response.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPChgNG9ZO1
1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QARM4Lrxg
“Oh, uh…” Zack cleared his throat a bit and turned towards the edge again as he felt the heat spread across his face.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRMo73cbP6
1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2DnVmzMO5
“I-I’ve been once or twice.” Zack replied and the man nodded, facing back to the edge as well.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxP7UMk9q2s
1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rbjsPCeuV
“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.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dtHg15xax
1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpYOLaqp6I
“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.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFz07aUCfQ
1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEf21tt2Hm
“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.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ygalZS9Z2
1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9mzrLMlr7
“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.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJxdbhYLYu
1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBIq4A9ABj
“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.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZwkOGDZFM
1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJ7a9XqzVA
“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.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRvjm4J9PJ
1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Qph5quUto
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.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0f2TqTO7Jy
1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJq1d0Hs62S
‘Why am I doing this? I don’t even know him.’1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOnJKIDWqC
1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxv2NgIdsUL
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.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybZrKkuSl0
1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrR34bktmw
‘I just met him a few minutes ago, why do I want to help him?’1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2w3FWdakbu
1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcWbp9SHgu
Luckily, Zacks weight caused him to fall quicker, gaining on him more and more as the ground grew ever closer.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBN6460q3gD
1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsVUJ0SiPx
‘I’m always taking lives...But, he’s different, somehow...He deserves to live, even if he doesn’t want to…’1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa65oK5l1K4
1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrRaCIdKZB
Zack reached his hand out to the man and grabbed onto his arm.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu26cOWJgFP
1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBU43Lx1Mp
‘I want him to live!’1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrXajNfUUh

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.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHHYTj8TVV
1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ISaBMt1aC
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.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvdB88HETN
1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNvwFoZy73
“A-Are you alright…?” Zack asked slowly before the man pulled away from him, quickly moving away from him.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpjPZaGkMJ
1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblryfSAjJ1
“Why the hell did you do that?! You ruined everything!” The man yelled at Zack, making him flinch.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZqFre5Re0
1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmmxaEEeir
“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.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClNd9MEIaX
1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAXgFsvKUr
“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.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBo6IIpNchO
1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSzu8ViPfH
“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.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1S9vJmocTF
1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bzcdT8UkH
“We could be friends.” Zack said with a smile. The man looked up at him in confusion.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSamCkfXD6
1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlD12DO2HmC
"What?" He asked in disbelief and Zack rubbed the back of his neck.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBYr4YNRO7
1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ845GXF99T2
"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.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dZA8UwnDi
1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7ZsL0DCVP
"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.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMO1EHZNMH
1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2wpFP8E1f
"I'm Abelle. What's your name?" The man asked, catching Zack off guard.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9e0qnjXGv9
1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPw4rRj0SEl
"Oh, uh, it's Zack." He answered and Abelle nodded.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLArVWPNbe
1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9uCoxE0R2
"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.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHPxEa7IRQ
1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosn62MQDkT
Once they found the staircase, they left the trail and Abelle let out a breath of disbelief as he turned to Zack.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovtSTJ0f8p
1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFe3pjSOxe
"Are you hurt in anyway?" Abelle asked with concern as he went over to Zack. Zack gave him a smile and shrugged.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUWcJI96DV
1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkt05NcX0Fo
"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.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6nDJCz4XP
1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yEYcLskUY
"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.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmw3rqYUhI
1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlFqdl17fE
"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.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfv8LEmin3K
1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHc9Tl5tIu
"Alright, so I guess I'll message you later." Zack said before turning and beginning to walk away.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZn1Htcffd
1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RyiubPEsl
"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.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IfvXxUjXY
