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.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxYVvo93N5

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.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaT5d61UrvR

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.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3VRP5tMnr

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.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEQHEpYIqN

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.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcIazeelbh
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS68mXgEM0I
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.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxY24ES8HgF
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanioHK3wE4
“It’s um...A nice night tonight.” Zack said in a soft voice. The man didn’t look away from the edge, however.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbApNJqlhZ
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoKY4sRmaT
“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.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJHeNFcO0g
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOAvRWuaAQ
“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.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2aIpiYN2V
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXjxYlKBps
“Yeah, I do. Do you?” The man asked in response.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2pRiSZgBK
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdg8EGEOK8q
“Oh, uh…” Zack cleared his throat a bit and turned towards the edge again as he felt the heat spread across his face.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYgfHJcyE8
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZ1rFba2Du
“I-I’ve been once or twice.” Zack replied and the man nodded, facing back to the edge as well.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3F8BypQNh4
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsxcd4Jmky
“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.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnOn47UhFA
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfooHm235p
“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.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuXXhJAuCE
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULJ5yM8EHu
“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.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAV9XCRlXFF
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtTqZN2G23
“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.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxEUsgW4dK
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jRk4zLuBt
“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.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsa5QQ2JQmV
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjbw3VDYny
“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.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYe7pKWs7O
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesQltKOkeR
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.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbosU3RhGF
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34aY2GKrcl
‘Why am I doing this? I don’t even know him.’613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkK2isMpub
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUa32ci4Fa
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.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRj1YHwPHEA
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fPjP8FDAP
‘I just met him a few minutes ago, why do I want to help him?’613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh56w65qN6K
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosXa7rAxOD
Luckily, Zacks weight caused him to fall quicker, gaining on him more and more as the ground grew ever closer.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrY7f6Fi0DS
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWE0CYskYK
‘I’m always taking lives...But, he’s different, somehow...He deserves to live, even if he doesn’t want to…’613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELf8mlk9pY
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gDp2kPHur
Zack reached his hand out to the man and grabbed onto his arm.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fzCkdSuXG
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtaoj7THWA
‘I want him to live!’613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8TKBm0q0X
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYxYYJCOeq
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.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJQMq9tfIt
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcf6WQsNyED
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.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBKKfv9rvp
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpSG8I6VKA
“A-Are you alright…?” Zack asked slowly before the man pulled away from him, quickly moving away from him.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPAwGzLYJG
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbELXCSEu9t
“Why the hell did you do that?! You ruined everything!” The man yelled at Zack, making him flinch.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGykUPn4jQ
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxdGVp7JPX
“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.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fYT8qwS8C
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDcDSHlhI6
“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.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyo4aJaC73F
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49dRlsTpEE
“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.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREf62F9nTC
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5zJU64Wgs
“We could be friends.” Zack said with a smile. The man looked up at him in confusion.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc64VLS98pi
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9t6q1b2X6N
"What?" He asked in disbelief and Zack rubbed the back of his neck.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUhtFRSulh
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UCehCiVVv
"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.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDAP9zFXSW
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEA0Dg2ALw
"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.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwqn9aXoiq
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZSTt9UmH8
"I'm Abelle. What's your name?" The man asked, catching Zack off guard.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEV0PwYPSD
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGREGIeKJ3r
"Oh, uh, it's Zack." He answered and Abelle nodded.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXflLBKhXts
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjySQdpjsFw
"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.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCoPPaCMaZ
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHzgnPrucV
Once they found the staircase, they left the trail and Abelle let out a breath of disbelief as he turned to Zack.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lFi4kExR4
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoyZES4xAf
"Are you hurt in anyway?" Abelle asked with concern as he went over to Zack. Zack gave him a smile and shrugged.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9poM4pWhxj
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExawBhfchr
"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.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dDRpg8wm6
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4UOzsHjQsm
"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.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslXr6snjNV
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsKnZWVoIk
"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.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygR88WNbld
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvf4hOmMhH
"Alright, so I guess I'll message you later." Zack said before turning and beginning to walk away.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujN7tPxNu3
613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzHeCm5rJn
"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.613Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtii0fBYSy5
