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.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNXX0zfqx5

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.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GncltBLyK

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.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0E4IX97uG8

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.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Gfmg94THt

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.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BEUQRFdS5
771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVP5VMFMKP
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.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWwvaNUbKl
771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnG704ZxMr8
“It’s um...A nice night tonight.” Zack said in a soft voice. The man didn’t look away from the edge, however.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vPOhAQJcA
771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsJ382lnan
“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.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJjeDewxSe
771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEgs58hsqX
“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.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FWeuImd01
771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJEnPVZgct
“Yeah, I do. Do you?” The man asked in response.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfRbcrghqP
771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1PY2jkgNs
“Oh, uh…” Zack cleared his throat a bit and turned towards the edge again as he felt the heat spread across his face.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qGme8GfLk
771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEPlZ3bYwF
“I-I’ve been once or twice.” Zack replied and the man nodded, facing back to the edge as well.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcJOhYR0re
771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgi4XDQMuj
“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.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHhDwwtMLv
771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURT2EJJRlm
“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.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfoVblLH9Dv
771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWzXFWsRAB
“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.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QLHdp08SM
771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMAMwI7k6w
“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.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXGFvPUDH5
771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVDTyA1pEk
“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.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0RxxSThyS
771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdWQZyyMhw
“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.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtT5f5HKvQ
771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYMMX78xSU
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.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBn2g2mqXHx
771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBNZHKOz34
‘Why am I doing this? I don’t even know him.’771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0VbvKjwLd
771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYDGasiDAT
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.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrifVNoytE
771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8yEhV8iiW
‘I just met him a few minutes ago, why do I want to help him?’771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgls2VP0WDf
771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7HWJ7uFfX
Luckily, Zacks weight caused him to fall quicker, gaining on him more and more as the ground grew ever closer.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjRXVIaSO4
771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVxZRFsmZG
‘I’m always taking lives...But, he’s different, somehow...He deserves to live, even if he doesn’t want to…’771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5X9ARhCxg
771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLXypFgipW
Zack reached his hand out to the man and grabbed onto his arm.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHf5IzFdVk
771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozuOaMN6AY
‘I want him to live!’771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCcdDmJdXg
771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfSnlMbchW
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.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhUwfVjCyy
771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsX1jM9j6P3
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.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKR9FsN6Tdc
771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy97UGjRRSk
“A-Are you alright…?” Zack asked slowly before the man pulled away from him, quickly moving away from him.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCKjmTDmff
771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGCQWLt5HM
“Why the hell did you do that?! You ruined everything!” The man yelled at Zack, making him flinch.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqV7gLUQyy
771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGKW4HkjHr
“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.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQfieaJaAU
771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXbTKbAqfu
“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.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFZhgCb3Dd
771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBawArN5gOh
“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.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlXEkwQCqg
771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ884nXwAMB5
“We could be friends.” Zack said with a smile. The man looked up at him in confusion.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDE4gZvaSwC
771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUYgNsE7Xn
"What?" He asked in disbelief and Zack rubbed the back of his neck.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELOOG2KiN2
771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCw4BuiXJtB
"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.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrJZ4Oh8d5
771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVn3zV5VMQ
"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.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7IdyBe6fH
771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOocHfSSvn
"I'm Abelle. What's your name?" The man asked, catching Zack off guard.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsKtYqmyhI
771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUp9Uio04If
"Oh, uh, it's Zack." He answered and Abelle nodded.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTtw0Bp85H
771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVKbVm6yOf
"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.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOznoQLl77
771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFlXsugNYF
Once they found the staircase, they left the trail and Abelle let out a breath of disbelief as he turned to Zack.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwJyG9x5Ww
771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TiT79i5WM
"Are you hurt in anyway?" Abelle asked with concern as he went over to Zack. Zack gave him a smile and shrugged.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5EW68XujTX
771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XMMxSy3NS
"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.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCGb2m3jaI
771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvzmgyneux
"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.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKyauwgfSx
771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xUuCCS8q8
"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.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtHotgmNWp
771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfRW0xNAir
"Alright, so I guess I'll message you later." Zack said before turning and beginning to walk away.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBIxbLAIrE
771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2uXQrhn5j
"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.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sf5X8p1zR
