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.699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qxFOy2WDG

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.699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2IMCL9Pb3o

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.699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IWOLzrElv

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.699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8MnK7oXJ6

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.699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDnAYobSDZ

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.699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTjbrjUgyS
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsynrYSwpC6
“It’s um...A nice night tonight.” Zack said in a soft voice. The man didn’t look away from the edge, however.699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlW4jwrhKde
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLixE9bc6jD
“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.699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPrFnXYFVl
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXUhlOK1ou
“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.699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKRkxdlDTZ
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLZjjTGO2n
“Yeah, I do. Do you?” The man asked in response.699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAfLPHoqBk
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgwiJ77wbM
“Oh, uh…” Zack cleared his throat a bit and turned towards the edge again as he felt the heat spread across his face.699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosrfBrFJBU
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0Tgz4iXAk
“I-I’ve been once or twice.” Zack replied and the man nodded, facing back to the edge as well.699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqKyxyCerM
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ376tLAl9Pt
“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.699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqqR6CRohH
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXTXvpyhj4
“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.699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2DO30kiyA
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8q2Un8Ldf
“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.699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCL06ASeBO
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumvrMpTBxQ
“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.699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFK8CT1gnQ
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qVF7UkQmv
“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.699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYwYMg6ESj
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHeBYopT9x
“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.699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScrqjHnJBn
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0Cp1ccDzm
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.699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6op2A0CTyj
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkP0Qkkk5sn
‘Why am I doing this? I don’t even know him.’699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNSEaptrsJ
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKUIhmNM0S
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.699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL232oElwmn
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8yxa3862W
‘I just met him a few minutes ago, why do I want to help him?’699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcQoDqbREu
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0gPHafrPj
Luckily, Zacks weight caused him to fall quicker, gaining on him more and more as the ground grew ever closer.699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWK7Z0GWxG
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwLovPZn1E
‘I’m always taking lives...But, he’s different, somehow...He deserves to live, even if he doesn’t want to…’699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnyk7UAPIG
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLf1hRkp6K
Zack reached his hand out to the man and grabbed onto his arm.699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EZ4hzAf1W
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOSwmOeaPQ
‘I want him to live!’699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdc5E0zPcw
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLocCnvbXSs
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.699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2tELeF3Iv
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3ZGSlurvE
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.699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgApmrDNZnw
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIZjekCvvj
“A-Are you alright…?” Zack asked slowly before the man pulled away from him, quickly moving away from him.699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGtnwXuBZc
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJYq4RHrF0
“Why the hell did you do that?! You ruined everything!” The man yelled at Zack, making him flinch.699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDwt1vLvg6
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtu5Q78W9cm
“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.699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtku63l5sad
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqMCHPG5Tu
“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.699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgU5wEExFn2
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxbffXfTod
“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.699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmm2MXRaPRJ
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAteBQjn7jh
“We could be friends.” Zack said with a smile. The man looked up at him in confusion.699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLDAlaUFrU
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LHRz8O3ZI
"What?" He asked in disbelief and Zack rubbed the back of his neck.699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGcNcGM4Fu
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwandaKi0E
"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.699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjEUxZlFSC
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhWkSHxSod
"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.699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnhHH1tiSd
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIAHtcyjt2
"I'm Abelle. What's your name?" The man asked, catching Zack off guard.699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35Hg9DzJ0D
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSIVBVuo8J
"Oh, uh, it's Zack." He answered and Abelle nodded.699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhfyspwNek
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7nqzp9VGv
"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.699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cRJCp4NmO
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRgmwsp0OG
Once they found the staircase, they left the trail and Abelle let out a breath of disbelief as he turned to Zack.699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUNa4HdaFB
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkRBIi3c9D
"Are you hurt in anyway?" Abelle asked with concern as he went over to Zack. Zack gave him a smile and shrugged.699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sqtvZy0pd
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcKaEbEQVy
"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.699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡON0h1mPCG7
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMlx7Z4kJJ
"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.699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0npxKZ6nGB
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yTbeHDDMs
"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.699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzOdnEoMiM
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRAEGOzCBT
"Alright, so I guess I'll message you later." Zack said before turning and beginning to walk away.699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFedxzGX5F
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WWSYEyC9a
"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.699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFuqpZihrnr
