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.1073Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dAzkmCbC4

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.1073Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1o8MJ11Vc

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.1073Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFefPzgOHS1

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.1073Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCQ5Ari5M2

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.1073Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxz0IcygTG

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.1073Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZP5fqql9wF
1073Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBZCO8IoO6
“It’s um...A nice night tonight.” Zack said in a soft voice. The man didn’t look away from the edge, however.1073Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEUs8DfU9Z
1073Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bgpACwdzb
“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.1073Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTF5Ooq0JN
1073Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWDfy2z1Ab
“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.1073Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPYw8RCA5h
1073Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BEPKDcbMB
“Yeah, I do. Do you?” The man asked in response.1073Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZVaKNSZSw
1073Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6pAxPNubI
“Oh, uh…” Zack cleared his throat a bit and turned towards the edge again as he felt the heat spread across his face.1073Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1thyIRktVc
1073Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnpDL81vaS
“I-I’ve been once or twice.” Zack replied and the man nodded, facing back to the edge as well.1073Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CPB2gOxpt
1073Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqBnPMqAnm
“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.1073Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtSHJYcQgU
1073Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYCjUMjO51
“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.1073Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxstq4XxGp
1073Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFZWdvYLe7
“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.1073Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXI4N9cyBql
1073Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01qlmet7Xb
“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.1073Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Qa16CsTPd
1073Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmQsr7y88K
“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.1073Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJhTyJ3q0R
1073Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jrLBwHoEW
“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.1073Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zQ4sX8kJP
1073Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRzlZJ55Tc
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.1073Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASafIX4Z7n
1073Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIs5b3wtXFV
‘Why am I doing this? I don’t even know him.’1073Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZbyo6bLDa
1073Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCS7IrX25X
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.1073Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGH3WD9T09R
1073Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfkcYTQ7sR
‘I just met him a few minutes ago, why do I want to help him?’1073Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMEIiNbGHh
1073Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOqScJ3JtG
Luckily, Zacks weight caused him to fall quicker, gaining on him more and more as the ground grew ever closer.1073Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2B9mxYE680

‘I’m always taking lives...But, he’s different, somehow...He deserves to live, even if he doesn’t want to…’1073Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrkDHnMPka
1073Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2ozou3PRN
Zack reached his hand out to the man and grabbed onto his arm.1073Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiahQDHU4ov
1073Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvxSGYpY87
‘I want him to live!’1073Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxaFT4QzHD
1073Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZAmijvRN1
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.1073Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5C8sN1ZxN
1073Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqskFzoyjr
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.1073Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeofmcKWTV
1073Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5VmqN0awc
“A-Are you alright…?” Zack asked slowly before the man pulled away from him, quickly moving away from him.1073Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzicO6qzVHG
1073Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS77ytlXhy2
“Why the hell did you do that?! You ruined everything!” The man yelled at Zack, making him flinch.1073Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrp03nP5bz
1073Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6vWfv4cU8
“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.1073Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7xifqV0Sc
1073Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bgszM6vtr
“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.1073Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11eDN7X7QD
1073Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3f7Q3nMWJ
“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.1073Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7WENHyivx
1073Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKoS78Zm4G4
“We could be friends.” Zack said with a smile. The man looked up at him in confusion.1073Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwavWFB0fb
1073Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01yEUugc8g
"What?" He asked in disbelief and Zack rubbed the back of his neck.1073Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4po1VcnUVJ
1073Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qDR6cFAi7
"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.1073Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjshvPE2laH
1073Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMDglXd6FE
"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.1073Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLSXaI3T0P
1073Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBULYjgva8P
"I'm Abelle. What's your name?" The man asked, catching Zack off guard.1073Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE17hqJYBGV
1073Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPsGReQncy
"Oh, uh, it's Zack." He answered and Abelle nodded.1073Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznO6nLxBdY
1073Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAcozvaSIP
"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.1073Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTpspxQmU8
1073Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1LyNy9X7Y
Once they found the staircase, they left the trail and Abelle let out a breath of disbelief as he turned to Zack.1073Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmf09ieuiy
1073Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzpaWVLO0P
"Are you hurt in anyway?" Abelle asked with concern as he went over to Zack. Zack gave him a smile and shrugged.1073Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOToIx1BVXC
1073Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlMox1NnQB
"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.1073Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRBgDE2sch
1073Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIZtLtV3FV
"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.1073Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYNVoqx410
1073Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHEoIoKyLA
"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.1073Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVCHeqEAYP
1073Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWGcLCzO1K
"Alright, so I guess I'll message you later." Zack said before turning and beginning to walk away.1073Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAasKqb7BLc
1073Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2s8ZpIQLx
"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.1073Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KLv3X15bH
