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.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0h9izJ22Jz

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.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpWyPyDfzm

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.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbMPqeoPHK

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.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9dSX7lRBN

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.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTt3l9LHLlK
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZigyn3vjLs
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.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuyWYqyUaY
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJbCrS3CP7
“It’s um...A nice night tonight.” Zack said in a soft voice. The man didn’t look away from the edge, however.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjxWvFcIT4
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFP7dq7JunX
“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.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPFfJc07LQ
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqL9tlEvhh
“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.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwb4a9qalZ
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgMsWgpHsa
“Yeah, I do. Do you?” The man asked in response.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5LxQs3MLW
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3yCYhjEmz
“Oh, uh…” Zack cleared his throat a bit and turned towards the edge again as he felt the heat spread across his face.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBhJJxkP0M
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6pHJt8Wuf
“I-I’ve been once or twice.” Zack replied and the man nodded, facing back to the edge as well.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1EgqNAzXN
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQXhYBIbcw
“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.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkI8LLORPeo
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXG5pmUmUlA
“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.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdoi2EaoCJQ
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrKM5yhm6r
“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.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Le1yxjTij
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fEhZPHil7
“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.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuXK9ZJclv
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTYF5Yn7Nh
“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.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXchkAggP1
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1FiGzAgZx
“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.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rybS4mBjc
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx21TmDfhei
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.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6K2XHAf2X
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38sNn5mHOV
‘Why am I doing this? I don’t even know him.’717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGeuXJnAVh
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPOikFMah6
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.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZFMBSZkKO
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5L0fYNzKVd
‘I just met him a few minutes ago, why do I want to help him?’717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOq8k0HDxJ
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBEvgfzmmM
Luckily, Zacks weight caused him to fall quicker, gaining on him more and more as the ground grew ever closer.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQIQUGbrQR
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0x7mrELE2
‘I’m always taking lives...But, he’s different, somehow...He deserves to live, even if he doesn’t want to…’717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPuAGm1LLk
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vfyF3VATj
Zack reached his hand out to the man and grabbed onto his arm.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScgXYkPjCS
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtD3MJrk0WT
‘I want him to live!’717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3kNYJcoeg
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXT82ztjM3
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.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HuxSyGOAT
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfuf4Ld8AV
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.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnoL7QciFR
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4QU2gA4ak
“A-Are you alright…?” Zack asked slowly before the man pulled away from him, quickly moving away from him.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrueB3TOLpu
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLeDF7jAtS
“Why the hell did you do that?! You ruined everything!” The man yelled at Zack, making him flinch.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzk3PxwF5k
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MtPeHsGZX
“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.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPHRhXgKZ1
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeiYVywbh7
“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.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRn3nP5MGw
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGoenGnTlzA
“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.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcHgzpwC53
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaj3KKqLUpo
“We could be friends.” Zack said with a smile. The man looked up at him in confusion.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmLrROeWBv
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5r61HY0WJ
"What?" He asked in disbelief and Zack rubbed the back of his neck.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsSsyzVvju
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEP6p3EotN
"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.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4bhBYKuuq
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsXWFY7nlN
"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.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WSVYZ7XyB
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9ucZm1Ydb
"I'm Abelle. What's your name?" The man asked, catching Zack off guard.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMnMZprvW8
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayCRSfdCM4
"Oh, uh, it's Zack." He answered and Abelle nodded.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4HDNZTlEo
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzy0CkmsLb
"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.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVU1DpzbA7C
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxLduLm5ct
Once they found the staircase, they left the trail and Abelle let out a breath of disbelief as he turned to Zack.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrW5OC4AMo
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAVGkuRK4F
"Are you hurt in anyway?" Abelle asked with concern as he went over to Zack. Zack gave him a smile and shrugged.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3oBPj8N9f
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4E3PDbLI9Z
"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.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPYvbDh2bK
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhy6uTyuTF
"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.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLUgVvkwOu
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZKsD2BfX6
"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.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9cbyeJQMH
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyZh50eOMP
"Alright, so I guess I'll message you later." Zack said before turning and beginning to walk away.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaAO2RjhEE
717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSd79MylpH
"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.717Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PpSjPH0eg
