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.795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZV9tDkWyE

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.795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGC2X7BEp4K

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.795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTP6dI10ZS4

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.795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIe5ldPx6OQ

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.795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KM1KtxYa2
795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtSU1Drwk6
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.795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmtkdtuzAX
795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KHcc2gLmX
“It’s um...A nice night tonight.” Zack said in a soft voice. The man didn’t look away from the edge, however.795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rNQdIp1lb
795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oV2A8Gv9P
“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.795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHWkkr4WJ7
795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0k9t7u17ec
“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.795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hCR2cMhtK
795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyONBs6BC4G
“Yeah, I do. Do you?” The man asked in response.795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvN8IxCHAV
795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RP4QjloGs
“Oh, uh…” Zack cleared his throat a bit and turned towards the edge again as he felt the heat spread across his face.795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLO1K0sm78s
795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92ddyze2Mm
“I-I’ve been once or twice.” Zack replied and the man nodded, facing back to the edge as well.795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakAZZJiKXr
795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRpzaTpoe1
“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.795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNKA84kdq1
795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswHK7hlrht
“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.795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYDaSFUpXC
795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwQrEbrgwB
“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.795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7XDDQcGmW
795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdCcUuPZg8
“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.795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rtJFZO9IM
795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkPjwbSqBb
“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.795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmIN2HKSki
795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rw2TJks5i
“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.795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdpDJoem5I
795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XtbU7XTJy
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.795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQl3evWpEN
795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Y8HWHPoG6
‘Why am I doing this? I don’t even know him.’795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3LiyBjldu
795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CTT0V74LQ
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.795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDMJvX6QzD
795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwWVtYQCAz
‘I just met him a few minutes ago, why do I want to help him?’795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTg27YE0sNX
795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvGlmqaTY5
Luckily, Zacks weight caused him to fall quicker, gaining on him more and more as the ground grew ever closer.795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5S2FCqrkB
795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRt1v6sp1jE
‘I’m always taking lives...But, he’s different, somehow...He deserves to live, even if he doesn’t want to…’795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAGZeAzMhj
795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMyHLi9QvR
Zack reached his hand out to the man and grabbed onto his arm.795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRooDpmaMt
795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO50eDf924d
‘I want him to live!’795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ123kO1Zzew
795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOROjMcBSP
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.795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrrqqmmY6k
795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhGTg3WzWV
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.795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QInVHrx3r
795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCn35JgTEB
“A-Are you alright…?” Zack asked slowly before the man pulled away from him, quickly moving away from him.795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JBquRp4DI
795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM702o9I0bd
“Why the hell did you do that?! You ruined everything!” The man yelled at Zack, making him flinch.795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaElJSkjOkS
795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJ3lj4Moqe
“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.795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡst6dXHgrzD
795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AWIzageto
“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.795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmE3BZftA9
795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlpv49AbgP
“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.795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzLjsVg9ZP
795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNS696ecuX
“We could be friends.” Zack said with a smile. The man looked up at him in confusion.795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURjOEc3Kdp
795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNexVUMFMl
"What?" He asked in disbelief and Zack rubbed the back of his neck.795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpz7Fxe8i18
795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp15SyRzFvQ
"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.795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZJ8gzP2BN
795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiMLUYC7rm
"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.795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekkHIQH167
795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOhdGl7Ugm
"I'm Abelle. What's your name?" The man asked, catching Zack off guard.795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCNfprgE08
795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZLVxf1dhc
"Oh, uh, it's Zack." He answered and Abelle nodded.795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFoxAz15fft
795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfRy1qZJLc
"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.795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAZH6p5aLg
795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3msYEn8t5M
Once they found the staircase, they left the trail and Abelle let out a breath of disbelief as he turned to Zack.795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtulbibtrS
795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxPt9vOXyc
"Are you hurt in anyway?" Abelle asked with concern as he went over to Zack. Zack gave him a smile and shrugged.795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyUpcW1FaX
795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpgx7pFfgW
"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.795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uixVwaMuS
795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5IPgFJNvR
"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.795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttuI3VOHU0
795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97IWssRjgX
"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.795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIobepRUYY
795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kIeorRrI9
"Alright, so I guess I'll message you later." Zack said before turning and beginning to walk away.795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvUZM2Q3pN
795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCniz8j2VQr
"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.795Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeY13QPGBmU
