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.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamKwfZutMF

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.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakmKu712in

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.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmW5M9RujIT

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.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZp1XEIwHY

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.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpoXjVkO3h
1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTY7Tud4Xri
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.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmBGejjWY9
1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZse9UlHCiY
“It’s um...A nice night tonight.” Zack said in a soft voice. The man didn’t look away from the edge, however.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJUWEhE1P5
1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HcONjFwrd
“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.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYATKpQ8D4
1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngZQj1lfWS
“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.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCkm011r6P
1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuUyKCfueC
“Yeah, I do. Do you?” The man asked in response.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrCmgPT0Xx
1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo44dfAPCIl
“Oh, uh…” Zack cleared his throat a bit and turned towards the edge again as he felt the heat spread across his face.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UkThyYXV7
1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy372EOWCmT
“I-I’ve been once or twice.” Zack replied and the man nodded, facing back to the edge as well.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtm7Iez6N1c
1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviUvQv5wKI
“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.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CYYHcxmKp
1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPBk6XqRtt
“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.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68Bi09LUFx
1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tc7Os2Asv
“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.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpvbagwwX2
1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgy6nSogb25
“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.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeuoHgDj5Y
1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡup6og3nUJQ
“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.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YyR9Ee9Rg
1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAph3pNjh3j
“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.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6bLvwlJkc
1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKphELC8nR8
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.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdEa7ZLcJR
1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLw9Iqc6Mu
‘Why am I doing this? I don’t even know him.’1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlvi61KVic
1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrQbAPBEsl
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.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC215XFTpLy
1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlk7qa2S1ny
‘I just met him a few minutes ago, why do I want to help him?’1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQejtSwPN3
1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyghl0KulY
Luckily, Zacks weight caused him to fall quicker, gaining on him more and more as the ground grew ever closer.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxs1HNBIe5x

‘I’m always taking lives...But, he’s different, somehow...He deserves to live, even if he doesn’t want to…’1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaswLTYqPug
1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsb0GJTu1Gl
Zack reached his hand out to the man and grabbed onto his arm.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhe50zemtTv
1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSvQUYA2VR
‘I want him to live!’1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrAyxncWhC
1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tEBaSgstX
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.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xQdiX0dP6
1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8R9vBYMn3F
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.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHWNWSWP0p
1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniJN22Qpw1
“A-Are you alright…?” Zack asked slowly before the man pulled away from him, quickly moving away from him.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ12u3NFQqu
1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhn1AvENGM
“Why the hell did you do that?! You ruined everything!” The man yelled at Zack, making him flinch.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAPg1haY24
1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Nn9Jtarl9
“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.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpMUmariKI
1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4PEcN3tHQ
“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.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidncW5MiqX
1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxnrzg5tjx
“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.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv07tUm25an
1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7FzSddvUj
“We could be friends.” Zack said with a smile. The man looked up at him in confusion.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnN2w9VCJsA
1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTWz4xLrh5
"What?" He asked in disbelief and Zack rubbed the back of his neck.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTm9N1xw16o
1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWfCXK0Ep5
"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.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHWR8NyrqN
1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZ9I4rLDGO
"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.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEZ9vI9TL3
1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvM8Urd5WIH
"I'm Abelle. What's your name?" The man asked, catching Zack off guard.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDPySWCBds
1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLwG7HgLza
"Oh, uh, it's Zack." He answered and Abelle nodded.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXhuGoduFK
1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FZiyz0qx5
"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.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkP07HIiSyA
1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwSqvI6EI9
Once they found the staircase, they left the trail and Abelle let out a breath of disbelief as he turned to Zack.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJ2hpZsISm
1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgI5BXF1WZA
"Are you hurt in anyway?" Abelle asked with concern as he went over to Zack. Zack gave him a smile and shrugged.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9u6kcb7HA
1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2nLzsYPir
"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.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7fZ1mxoKj
1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRoalAYqMw
"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.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvo2P7TzvjL
1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5HzOWMUPs
"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.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QWtco4oBX
1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Nb15psyj6
"Alright, so I guess I'll message you later." Zack said before turning and beginning to walk away.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHDf1lLhf8
1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGel2fQh25G
"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.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡao1QD7sYn2
