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.633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgsJejgfVg

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.633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54CIHVsRAa

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.633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZsD1hID6O

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.633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRSrOHnhV3

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.633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNU2V3xfro

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.633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrKxuZGncT
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXKUfnbedQ
“It’s um...A nice night tonight.” Zack said in a soft voice. The man didn’t look away from the edge, however.633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIhhI7KqR0
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFX1QNhu4ij
“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.633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCfK7xnLP0
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrdfcz9lit
“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.633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDho07s7lL
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QX7zM7SBy
“Yeah, I do. Do you?” The man asked in response.633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZTDlwlRSP
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUaaVZGxUP
“Oh, uh…” Zack cleared his throat a bit and turned towards the edge again as he felt the heat spread across his face.633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5hjdURwQ8
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbNBwhZMjA
“I-I’ve been once or twice.” Zack replied and the man nodded, facing back to the edge as well.633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpc7Qf0chR
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbaZzye2TdS
“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.633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxnrFA5BZi
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXFaPJwVXw
“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.633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEafbwmgj7G
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2J2cT71jJ
“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.633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0K8vlSmsl
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uOM9ETaRM
“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.633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUvZITjgLL
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpg2bCP867w
“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.633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Ay0YKwHVa
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25Yz83gvYk
“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.633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7NMusPxOh
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf78u8gLf4c
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.633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOT4znJDhF
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNWHiAq53X
‘Why am I doing this? I don’t even know him.’633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IYqG8WLtj
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDz4ECK5IU
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.633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQuoGZXRXxP
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhog5eZL3mU
‘I just met him a few minutes ago, why do I want to help him?’633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHAH6A5ZBx
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2REVQWGBJq
Luckily, Zacks weight caused him to fall quicker, gaining on him more and more as the ground grew ever closer.633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQ5VvvZ4Bm
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pK5hsH0tb
‘I’m always taking lives...But, he’s different, somehow...He deserves to live, even if he doesn’t want to…’633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ600VuKQoxG
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPx5afz1y9g
Zack reached his hand out to the man and grabbed onto his arm.633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiGQY2VyVS
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7c8MrNv8C8
‘I want him to live!’633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrf2hWtpI1
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lkh8jyt53
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.633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvHr9xTBpO
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjExBFPtLc
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.633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIgCo3rO7a
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJa4Y9S6Wp
“A-Are you alright…?” Zack asked slowly before the man pulled away from him, quickly moving away from him.633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm35xUf5SFn
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgsI9r6VUs
“Why the hell did you do that?! You ruined everything!” The man yelled at Zack, making him flinch.633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrEfBSfaB9
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRszeLWL14K
“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.633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkFi7czc2V
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzETl7vIWY
“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.633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTU2hSVWNPJ
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHld3ftRUj
“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.633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEgJkANY41
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6WzIQ7V9W
“We could be friends.” Zack said with a smile. The man looked up at him in confusion.633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjVAXMKnKS
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqT32q5uJH
"What?" He asked in disbelief and Zack rubbed the back of his neck.633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAqOnS6b8J
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsL5us1ulN
"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.633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPf1SuGhfNc
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdd5iD6EXJr
"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.633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQHaeNnjTq
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4spgMjKyl
"I'm Abelle. What's your name?" The man asked, catching Zack off guard.633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PzmHDKU8g
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8amTA8Yocr
"Oh, uh, it's Zack." He answered and Abelle nodded.633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpNeX5pMPa
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMK9xxhGZpy
"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.633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfkXSB2LKq
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTeJc2KHLPq
Once they found the staircase, they left the trail and Abelle let out a breath of disbelief as he turned to Zack.633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarYfDOXwyE
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKTMZl8uIl
"Are you hurt in anyway?" Abelle asked with concern as he went over to Zack. Zack gave him a smile and shrugged.633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGo0m4VZJjC
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqSlQMaDoR
"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.633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTr8qXEHbM
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yWldl0I1m
"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.633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jUtUmltc3
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5kE2Zlz2W
"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.633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVDm9M0RzA
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgC1sWA7XM
"Alright, so I guess I'll message you later." Zack said before turning and beginning to walk away.633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90c91FbnAl
633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gaMcV2Kyw
"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.633Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyThNU88Sb
