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.745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnI0Rfz447

Zack is my character while Abelle belongs to my sister, who was nice enough to allow me to use her character for this story. Follow her on instagram (@Space_papiii) For awesome art and characters that are going to be in upcoming short stories and books.745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKRJ65WMco

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.745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJNOuZeb4b

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.745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrj7mjBILot

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.745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgusBcDdsT

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.745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpg1SHenwrF
745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTq89gbYC8y
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.745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06Hi3Nuj22
745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoovOk7qtf
“It’s um...A nice night tonight.” Zack said in a soft voice. The man didn’t look away from the edge, however.745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRefHy1oe1
745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYwAx4bP3D
“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.745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dvq1lIDWC
745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BGYMbZTJl
“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.745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyaAMaXcFZ
745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRWFmB8QlM
“Yeah, I do. Do you?” The man asked in response.745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFuJzVGGtf
745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4jtewEgaN
“Oh, uh…” Zack cleared his throat a bit and turned towards the edge again as he felt the heat spread across his face.745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBZ4gdwTcb
745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2MfZCm51m
“I-I’ve been once or twice.” Zack replied and the man nodded, facing back to the edge as well.745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTD00llEz44
745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKPrzkSI0c
“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.745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabEGo40XbV
745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxIBhpE80p
“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.745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfaZJoGyC2
745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9MmMLRHr5
“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.745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcfUTu44Mb
745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKADFsBEKXO
“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.745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyOEyjFXgJ
745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRgLreLeQG
“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.745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4p3wv5uwU
745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvE6g9l5cBF
“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.745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJmKFiFruN
745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18DgR26uSI
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.745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qIxJT0EvM
745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ozt0huqmf
‘Why am I doing this? I don’t even know him.’745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfq3f16A09o
745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKlE7c8hsk
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.745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7X2qxh2cL
745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdm7GPasrJ
‘I just met him a few minutes ago, why do I want to help him?’745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGp9xVmBh0
745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAO0xJqeHXI
Luckily, Zacks weight caused him to fall quicker, gaining on him more and more as the ground grew ever closer.745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXVdgOvYef
745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7nEnSCZHb
‘I’m always taking lives...But, he’s different, somehow...He deserves to live, even if he doesn’t want to…’745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqRBkQIKJ2
745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60nWq2ygmi
Zack reached his hand out to the man and grabbed onto his arm.745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTO8iNUvlX
745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnobaJM85oy
‘I want him to live!’745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6T9AMbKX4G
745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPSg7wG06H
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.745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOoGWD2d9xf
745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4UWOh2x4l
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.745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPHLA3Ueda
745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSz00Ulp79C
“A-Are you alright…?” Zack asked slowly before the man pulled away from him, quickly moving away from him.745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TdhzqYgrA
745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fXnAKBMMo
“Why the hell did you do that?! You ruined everything!” The man yelled at Zack, making him flinch.745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHESkEoO6ma
745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7V69ftqx3F
“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.745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLvfH8xT49
745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyjQGExsyT
“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.745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEVYuDOBcJ
745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXfrM5E6zM
“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.745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcp10W4yi1
745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKSZYDBlYR
“We could be friends.” Zack said with a smile. The man looked up at him in confusion.745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVWCauUjLx
745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakOIQbGxE0
"What?" He asked in disbelief and Zack rubbed the back of his neck.745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4rfGr4uP5
745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgs1XUQnv5E
"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.745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztm23EUUX7
745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWfKgo0hT7
"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.745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zNhI2r10x
745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CTgD304Vn
"I'm Abelle. What's your name?" The man asked, catching Zack off guard.745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSPhKYO1tS
745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZxo7JHXQg
"Oh, uh, it's Zack." He answered and Abelle nodded.745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdgHYgLr8P
745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvh7e9n3KZ
"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.745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDAbeyVOOC
745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7J6bCNmSz
Once they found the staircase, they left the trail and Abelle let out a breath of disbelief as he turned to Zack.745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIL83mRQAy
745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdmPdk7Fpp
"Are you hurt in anyway?" Abelle asked with concern as he went over to Zack. Zack gave him a smile and shrugged.745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ06pvhRZpY
745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwqyhbhaGU
"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.745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIvoUsi9vK
745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaToVGO6xLS
"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.745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSGWj0jyn7
745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJchgP1R65n
"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.745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW71IwA19s5
745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcy1PQUxHZo
"Alright, so I guess I'll message you later." Zack said before turning and beginning to walk away.745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFg287H8co0
745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4oWbqxcqBa
"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.745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNt4UdWRx0s
