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.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQF9OIUY9S

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.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7McURHGun

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.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2hoCDXPLe

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.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYu0vELqejK

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.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwcftIFdj2
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0CLJ7UIiH
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.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLBX5oaLg7
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzO1SRRNDc4
“It’s um...A nice night tonight.” Zack said in a soft voice. The man didn’t look away from the edge, however.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmi50JJxbfX
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkquO7SEtt
“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.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGaFSTYG2A
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFUtLkQjLY
“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.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4Awq52sXC
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplpHiNUzim
“Yeah, I do. Do you?” The man asked in response.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUhvp1pP4D
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFt85OmqBUM
“Oh, uh…” Zack cleared his throat a bit and turned towards the edge again as he felt the heat spread across his face.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWbuafc4SW
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPICloq0wDL
“I-I’ve been once or twice.” Zack replied and the man nodded, facing back to the edge as well.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFE79TMcVjy
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwY5SuNgRtZ
“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.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzUwC8tRyg
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ly6nOUWmQ
“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.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSJnWZazcD
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMXDAlGBzs
“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.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQTDUEFF8W
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlj7WxYOZs
“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.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXITboFraG
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5ZmbHD8ub
“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.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4ZX4Co1L9
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhX2DpDrGD7
“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.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnGdKLog9Z
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rOLPD0y6s
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.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfUQ5N1NDv
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGUnSYxTcB
‘Why am I doing this? I don’t even know him.’704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVMCkHArz6
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4M2tgZjVI
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.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCUOp0N7b8
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEfpmLD6uU
‘I just met him a few minutes ago, why do I want to help him?’704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqgNVHjvax
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWslpR7uEDt
Luckily, Zacks weight caused him to fall quicker, gaining on him more and more as the ground grew ever closer.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAgkLr2zv3
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6hF0i85MV
‘I’m always taking lives...But, he’s different, somehow...He deserves to live, even if he doesn’t want to…’704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfaGtauozE
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDkN7nFPnw
Zack reached his hand out to the man and grabbed onto his arm.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5crlcVv1z
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5tXTR35Mz
‘I want him to live!’704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Ty5hOjRbw
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0VH8MifHm
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.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvQShKUXmS
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxe5PGXesV4
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.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdc5vBjGN7e
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCP2DjShrm9
“A-Are you alright…?” Zack asked slowly before the man pulled away from him, quickly moving away from him.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTexMwlaA7
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiHo2qD6EM
“Why the hell did you do that?! You ruined everything!” The man yelled at Zack, making him flinch.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUU2TJ0059
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJJlkITlrG
“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.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHSVdHED0B
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdswgoTrhay
“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.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtGh8fqFE0
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWxGiqXi8t
“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.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YSSQK3FF8
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkPlzqXDbM
“We could be friends.” Zack said with a smile. The man looked up at him in confusion.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAaMRbPhevp
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrW4ZZEadf
"What?" He asked in disbelief and Zack rubbed the back of his neck.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFLB9xAxL4
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVif17UDh9e
"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.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTeAFCSFRhM
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJJzBYNxSx
"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.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZZADFWJSq
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfXctXZBTg
"I'm Abelle. What's your name?" The man asked, catching Zack off guard.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8ug10nYiG
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFwfqrLEjT
"Oh, uh, it's Zack." He answered and Abelle nodded.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8dKDEqW70
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJDr39C198
"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.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXM3A4s0T2
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZHakf9qDo
Once they found the staircase, they left the trail and Abelle let out a breath of disbelief as he turned to Zack.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PoAvn9Xs1
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsB6GIQ2a5s
"Are you hurt in anyway?" Abelle asked with concern as he went over to Zack. Zack gave him a smile and shrugged.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBK4ipyfVjJ
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc84zO5AVac
"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.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1elLfCK09z
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjCvH1WEAP
"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.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXwZfeYXSe
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOstXXV8z1
"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.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fiylLAZZQ
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzImXmL0ReT
"Alright, so I guess I'll message you later." Zack said before turning and beginning to walk away.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uXhhR5N0A
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSO1SMtbI7
"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.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpULQFH9ip
