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.746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMovjP9qvy

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.746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8nWgurBg3

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.746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZXrAdgGNa

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.746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTkgLrNGPt

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.746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3Y6Q13iPU

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.746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3voqwyXBkN
746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bVP66QcbF
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.746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3d0JlLUpdg
746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEniNewF3m
“It’s um...A nice night tonight.” Zack said in a soft voice. The man didn’t look away from the edge, however.746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFnAHQme18
746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWjmM8mcb3
“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.746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qOxNhpYFK
746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EHAyBk6RN
“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.746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmF2bPPYqEF
746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCJqSTb0gP
“Yeah, I do. Do you?” The man asked in response.746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUOYqXw7lp
746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzQgT3cYqu
“Oh, uh…” Zack cleared his throat a bit and turned towards the edge again as he felt the heat spread across his face.746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9AKAvA0qe
746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0AibizlCZ
“I-I’ve been once or twice.” Zack replied and the man nodded, facing back to the edge as well.746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyEOueuT24
746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NvIuYefhK
“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.746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvq0FsdRZrv
746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejoCQJUOmt
“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.746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡss3jDu1Z7i
746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtrHSzvioB
“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.746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iJARmujzg
746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltNUfoePFY
“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.746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoVHI7yGJG
746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQHNb50Yvr
“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.746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnodA6bNtA
746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55s7Bdcija
“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.746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EK9J13efA
746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SJ5u8xR4C
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.746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVyg4TwvZj
746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXFbXKfQln
‘Why am I doing this? I don’t even know him.’746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcFqpcesla
746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhfJbQ8567
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.746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHOu69SdZx
746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPYGYBWy7g
‘I just met him a few minutes ago, why do I want to help him?’746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5PiFdmjNF
746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYB1Rnauubf
Luckily, Zacks weight caused him to fall quicker, gaining on him more and more as the ground grew ever closer.746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCp0tuodZc
746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQKq6evn2Q
‘I’m always taking lives...But, he’s different, somehow...He deserves to live, even if he doesn’t want to…’746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3unzSeHl4
746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQcgOkFZPL
Zack reached his hand out to the man and grabbed onto his arm.746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTrGJWQCaJ
746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPJmmvyrH5
‘I want him to live!’746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOeIATbkr4
746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZNpzWN5m6
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.746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTG7BmBRWXg
746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVxDYY3nLH
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.746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpdGmCGpWP
746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJtMJkwpK9
“A-Are you alright…?” Zack asked slowly before the man pulled away from him, quickly moving away from him.746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VshYYFf6E
746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrQKI2Sb5x
“Why the hell did you do that?! You ruined everything!” The man yelled at Zack, making him flinch.746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4b4LJYJt7
746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxazp1J4FIl
“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.746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxzG4o5BFI
746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPj84GlYNO3
“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.746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3Ffxo1nr9
746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JU4TfUpei
“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.746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2OaR7Sm7x
746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAznKsPChMy
“We could be friends.” Zack said with a smile. The man looked up at him in confusion.746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7J9b9VPfAL
746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrPzChbbzZ
"What?" He asked in disbelief and Zack rubbed the back of his neck.746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnfAPD2QjK
746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1J6tZOZNjZ
"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.746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2G8slcBErQ
746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbVt8UljOA
"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.746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwjI83XsPe
746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrPwmX5deL
"I'm Abelle. What's your name?" The man asked, catching Zack off guard.746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTGalgIgif
746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgoMozbXZ0
"Oh, uh, it's Zack." He answered and Abelle nodded.746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhoreadl5n
746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSX7ZcVrrrP
"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.746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14NrYKoBPE
746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVitbpWK8qt
Once they found the staircase, they left the trail and Abelle let out a breath of disbelief as he turned to Zack.746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMUdHXMF6s
746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnj20Yp4LS
"Are you hurt in anyway?" Abelle asked with concern as he went over to Zack. Zack gave him a smile and shrugged.746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GJ7nY8Zdg
746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIINGhgQkZg
"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.746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEof1ZkYYa
746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVu0SXu8e7Q
"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.746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZcWZzROmh
746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9AyNZ6oU2n
"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.746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfrnZDgF4t
746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbW6eMTnGWG
"Alright, so I guess I'll message you later." Zack said before turning and beginning to walk away.746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCLL7KIYE9
746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzgmMQYKDK
"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.746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymt92ua5V6
