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.800Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFCAyQ9N5y

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.800Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQcmWxmOSP

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.800Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqFItdfqZu

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.800Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAgfiNsBAq

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.800Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iRp2JwbxW

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.800Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJA85zzTxx
800Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCK0M8af8p
“It’s um...A nice night tonight.” Zack said in a soft voice. The man didn’t look away from the edge, however.800Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhMzJ00yyv
800Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLslDladlt
“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.800Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjv0wcA2zx
800Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaqKPGxbJY
“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.800Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeMiDFsdRm
800Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgxwv529KY
“Yeah, I do. Do you?” The man asked in response.800Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QaUOGjvGz
800Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1IFrSsiJj
“Oh, uh…” Zack cleared his throat a bit and turned towards the edge again as he felt the heat spread across his face.800Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyRITTdive
800Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3EM0Z30Sp
“I-I’ve been once or twice.” Zack replied and the man nodded, facing back to the edge as well.800Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dWVNcdIoq
800Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Rjv1pQHz7
“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.800Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjvjJ0uDRd
800Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNTmrf1oqa
“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.800Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxdlEuCv76
800Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nH8xK0Hhr
“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.800Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd82F1ypGlX
800Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JrUH7gWTm
“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.800Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXHWytaOBF
800Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WJuf0kWuk
“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.800Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7x40Wk84Vw
800Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0yHghgpDk
“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.800Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4HTfOONJZ
800Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡty6OGSEKNt
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.800Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmzUUJm1VI
800Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVWLDZcogL
‘Why am I doing this? I don’t even know him.’800Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMLXltfrrQ
800Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSmiW4oZ73
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.800Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDaxlWmXYm
800Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0hq4ELnzz
‘I just met him a few minutes ago, why do I want to help him?’800Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2l256auZa
800Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Bmwjq4OS4
Luckily, Zacks weight caused him to fall quicker, gaining on him more and more as the ground grew ever closer.800Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnMXAXzJ77
800Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64PskUru7U
‘I’m always taking lives...But, he’s different, somehow...He deserves to live, even if he doesn’t want to…’800Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOIPl0Hy08
800Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOimeYQfc3
Zack reached his hand out to the man and grabbed onto his arm.800Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3kRTL6fA9
800Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijcLcNfm5I
‘I want him to live!’800Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqUtV9FYSe
800Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83Q3Ivkrcp
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.800Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jRxCF3RCx
800Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwywFYZAOvY
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.800Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzINRr1e8B
800Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhjXrFz4Eh
“A-Are you alright…?” Zack asked slowly before the man pulled away from him, quickly moving away from him.800Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjCdAudHrU
800Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMc7ZQBjpL
“Why the hell did you do that?! You ruined everything!” The man yelled at Zack, making him flinch.800Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyTiU7eMuh
800Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGVYKyyuSt
“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.800Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQmiraAD1I
800Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEJ72GZMRu
“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.800Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXh6nJT68ZN
800Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSe2szD7Mje
“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.800Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqgdADGlQi
800Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB56STpAhx9
“We could be friends.” Zack said with a smile. The man looked up at him in confusion.800Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6c5sVGTD6
800Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86PfPVjgCs
"What?" He asked in disbelief and Zack rubbed the back of his neck.800Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYL5ek50wi9
800Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasTdOb2Ggj
"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.800Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiWNnisLV8
800Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovH7dDZwTB
"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.800Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFuFLUkN7E
800Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyM99QORwpQ
"I'm Abelle. What's your name?" The man asked, catching Zack off guard.800Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElGmHRHSPL
800Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvuf6kUsg6
"Oh, uh, it's Zack." He answered and Abelle nodded.800Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhI5CwnWujd
800Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRXNEVJcjd
"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.800Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtSlOjRafp
800Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLxfKNFLha
Once they found the staircase, they left the trail and Abelle let out a breath of disbelief as he turned to Zack.800Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsvxAxAujr
800Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgHXSgeQy4
"Are you hurt in anyway?" Abelle asked with concern as he went over to Zack. Zack gave him a smile and shrugged.800Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQooziaYKiz
800Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSDcdJmLWP
"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.800Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7J1plfZkJk
800Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmyyJ0rUAB
"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.800Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiB3xexitJO
800Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VPl544iDS
"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.800Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKSSNKZNQb
800Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdNZCDcE1j
"Alright, so I guess I'll message you later." Zack said before turning and beginning to walk away.800Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmrfM6avbQ
800Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzn0KaD0w2M
"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.800Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkRUBoJZCC
