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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMgcJnXdsB

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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DY7euX65E

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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWj4uPfvvF

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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdg0gyVT8G

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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM08IkMLVqm
1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDjnzvs7ea
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbrqIQipEa
1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZk0NBRdnA
“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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKOT4JdwaJ
1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxmiIgufMu
“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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87D1hiyX7a
1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMqzA9RLin
“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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXq9I3moRF
1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wNmfKixT9
“Yeah, I do. Do you?” The man asked in response.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFaKa9qndl
1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5L1YIi7hZb
“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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUFmXtUtXa
1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUskxxgrBC
“I-I’ve been once or twice.” Zack replied and the man nodded, facing back to the edge as well.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESBZVZ0ZRa
1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvx0Bw6SAn4
“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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwJ8RadF0m
1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMzCLECqPf
“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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGXH4Mk1gR
1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgo1VPT6G6c
“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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvSsZNDKhW
1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILEJ41vm9F
“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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4nAdXqnCQ
1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlctAbvcHzG
“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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsg98gqksG
1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhaTqWiStF
“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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhRRd1XRgi
1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdi3j8knHG
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wsGBHNnAb
1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNrXhPQpYQ
‘Why am I doing this? I don’t even know him.’1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7U79GbE6H7
1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzJGSonNKt
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YVEn9cFgz
1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mAXMmT22A
‘I just met him a few minutes ago, why do I want to help him?’1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LpVSxs0Fo
1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWT7xda0rS
Luckily, Zacks weight caused him to fall quicker, gaining on him more and more as the ground grew ever closer.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oUPtQLQNK

‘I’m always taking lives...But, he’s different, somehow...He deserves to live, even if he doesn’t want to…’1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqu7wxJoss
1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UZNt57bPf
Zack reached his hand out to the man and grabbed onto his arm.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGPw4W0p0c
1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxs8vcBEGK
‘I want him to live!’1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYl36kWRkj6
1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7bGBHxFlB
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlSZV6nxXW
1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIOverRft2
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWWmQNcA47
1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gyLXZpkNy
“A-Are you alright…?” Zack asked slowly before the man pulled away from him, quickly moving away from him.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqc1G1AsJl
1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIJT8hZeW6
“Why the hell did you do that?! You ruined everything!” The man yelled at Zack, making him flinch.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LxKkN3ePh
1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjpM90zTWg
“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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnK6SdXxgBc
1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElT1mzYyfS
“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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdLB1rIWIi
1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnfOcbW3Z3
“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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjJ8jY7pjV
1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMlHrEh3Pq
“We could be friends.” Zack said with a smile. The man looked up at him in confusion.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfkwdIqbFq
1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGX75dvS1sp
"What?" He asked in disbelief and Zack rubbed the back of his neck.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdJrJbgTfo
1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaE3dBiZk2
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuDpjP16z6
1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1n5xwHsIpW
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoX8EEDNFr
1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFHMfXyAvW
"I'm Abelle. What's your name?" The man asked, catching Zack off guard.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLaRDJQTveH
1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26cZdLKV84
"Oh, uh, it's Zack." He answered and Abelle nodded.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhkQtsE6m4
1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOjK2boRSv
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQv5jfFKyKn
1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZca3sUqcE
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsIBzW0v02
1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdASMKtU9DI
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYdFhMzXoF
1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLYARN3NRY
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXle0jbzxg
1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmTigdI7Q6
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡno0VccFfQy
1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUjfYbtPYW
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCUSZik5gR
1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWOiMxRv3v
"Alright, so I guess I'll message you later." Zack said before turning and beginning to walk away.1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsYoMOVrOW
1072Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVI8EaO5a4H
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVbyC4Rs7V
