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.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6U22jlGNW

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.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxlP0jWN0A

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.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeySqrRGoH9

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.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzImDlvY72

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.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oGYRwnOq7
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWex8JPfVrc
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.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8BqAGhLmY
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLuLuP5Xuc
“It’s um...A nice night tonight.” Zack said in a soft voice. The man didn’t look away from the edge, however.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RZqihFNRD
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uiKXPnOLO
“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.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFraNuE0q6z
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7BMFuIDgA
“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.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViOWPe4Mnc
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSg7cassHdU
“Yeah, I do. Do you?” The man asked in response.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bkQyifmDG
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINWnr4sB5G
“Oh, uh…” Zack cleared his throat a bit and turned towards the edge again as he felt the heat spread across his face.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0AWqopYGL
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLz76qM9NcK
“I-I’ve been once or twice.” Zack replied and the man nodded, facing back to the edge as well.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBf0QqphR0
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBQWZiuT3U
“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.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3MFWOvcuR
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtTiwJzCL3
“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.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nqZuatNBp
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOYUgFCHk3
“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.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWSK6FDf6Z
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuRxH80aeQ
“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.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLXUIH4daD
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1iZJz7s2jw
“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.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeRo63N9ti
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuc3pgumBMr
“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.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrD0wOp4nIb
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ApzKTz4hi
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.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMe9FogRNrr
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNq0OyY92Ru
‘Why am I doing this? I don’t even know him.’726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTKI9QKzvT
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYoqP3KLPf
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.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KmMVgMQxp
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJXpovX0Sm
‘I just met him a few minutes ago, why do I want to help him?’726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2sBD0RaEk
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgqpDCK5yX
Luckily, Zacks weight caused him to fall quicker, gaining on him more and more as the ground grew ever closer.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPZ4sWVcFJ
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8fSkFqd5b
‘I’m always taking lives...But, he’s different, somehow...He deserves to live, even if he doesn’t want to…’726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52ziA8WklQ
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsCjjGuKVX
Zack reached his hand out to the man and grabbed onto his arm.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCYsdbbLUG
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcX0gyjAKpK
‘I want him to live!’726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKp8BhR8e0P
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmirEJgciB9
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.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2XOXXEffO
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx62qN2IAPT
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.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAldwWeUBX
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxraa7c7VF
“A-Are you alright…?” Zack asked slowly before the man pulled away from him, quickly moving away from him.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMhAvnxhY1
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqz4rwBgrz
“Why the hell did you do that?! You ruined everything!” The man yelled at Zack, making him flinch.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2MAjjjRBK
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwrdUlk8J6
“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.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZUSsKzZBx
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82cfRBr9Ja
“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.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ452SFEqrdI
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNzOoqIsP2
“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.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qFKAPytsS
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXMqbPEedy
“We could be friends.” Zack said with a smile. The man looked up at him in confusion.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YnmZQ2Iaw
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3GbdYkZz3
"What?" He asked in disbelief and Zack rubbed the back of his neck.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YpgAXhCWB
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7S6JcPinn
"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.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoqHCLLEuh
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMBMRLRbCb
"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.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5yD82hDRm
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnu5wp81bVg
"I'm Abelle. What's your name?" The man asked, catching Zack off guard.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUwXfT5GjT
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcW9ZWx64BU
"Oh, uh, it's Zack." He answered and Abelle nodded.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9aCLpu7oo9
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZO1wSBvt4k
"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.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5KEv82Q9u
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQ3PrE5lDX
Once they found the staircase, they left the trail and Abelle let out a breath of disbelief as he turned to Zack.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5h5hxVDPcE
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtY8zgo141K
"Are you hurt in anyway?" Abelle asked with concern as he went over to Zack. Zack gave him a smile and shrugged.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPylhVVDvC0
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4bHmh1hrU
"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.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZDYPgZtdV
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAK3sgDYal
"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.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXhWAJJ6ma
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3q89qFgKw
"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.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FnvNgtPh2
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5162V25nPr
"Alright, so I guess I'll message you later." Zack said before turning and beginning to walk away.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡit3iWrV60M
726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6L1P8a506L
"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.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrHOfch3oo
