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.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4kqR00epp

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.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAVJx4d5tm

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.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡessIye72Eq

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.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngcxFbOcUE

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.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEtTQGyjiF

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.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoX8Fqly7c
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmhCr86yPU
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.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vqiRaFUvo
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazCp3e7xYy
“It’s um...A nice night tonight.” Zack said in a soft voice. The man didn’t look away from the edge, however.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RGZKtAU3L
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRWz5CQn4G
“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.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXhvMtJ0Nj
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3uxLJCI1P
“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.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaiLVpCECQ
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBok8NySEg
“Yeah, I do. Do you?” The man asked in response.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0e8wegIFA
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEwzut06gW
“Oh, uh…” Zack cleared his throat a bit and turned towards the edge again as he felt the heat spread across his face.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Mho5HImxE
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEucTfDEOF
“I-I’ve been once or twice.” Zack replied and the man nodded, facing back to the edge as well.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCBz7Wq9Ok
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYbT0nzSP1
“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.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJLgx2m8DI
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkCwMDH97w
“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.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzeZGEQtIu5
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIw53munRd2
“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.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSOMXSUrlx
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96r05JjzD1
“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.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSbyy8IQry
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KsUJQeJem
“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.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPS10W7c2w
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkt09DOVsI
“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.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTt7tpoVeT
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1IC7LnGVW
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.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1BZ5bL7p6
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRp6tmdidJ8
‘Why am I doing this? I don’t even know him.’620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CQ9tWQ6lr
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaopsLykpcb
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.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xvtJVavzn
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjCk8vh9dr
‘I just met him a few minutes ago, why do I want to help him?’620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45Ks5KlCrX
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5vWfFvnez
Luckily, Zacks weight caused him to fall quicker, gaining on him more and more as the ground grew ever closer.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqplCkSTDr
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lzaU321qG
‘I’m always taking lives...But, he’s different, somehow...He deserves to live, even if he doesn’t want to…’620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTrcw0kLth
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Pon5tuRgz
Zack reached his hand out to the man and grabbed onto his arm.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCabpiLM7c
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GeOaXj3Yp
‘I want him to live!’620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIS18j8KUdK
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuy600pLmH
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.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhd4uVEP06
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorDya6HqKP
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.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6S5rZGIpY
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡby5YzpjSOL
“A-Are you alright…?” Zack asked slowly before the man pulled away from him, quickly moving away from him.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsUlEtaNYm
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qqurtaO0r
“Why the hell did you do that?! You ruined everything!” The man yelled at Zack, making him flinch.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWicaGd3lGL
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2FORu8lCg
“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.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSrczbng4A
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7DJtOTkDm
“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.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGijSLIvrF
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4CiUewGfW
“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.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvfwuO5bwG
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9cAmfMtCi
“We could be friends.” Zack said with a smile. The man looked up at him in confusion.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SgpvgHTbh
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuMLsOVlrQ
"What?" He asked in disbelief and Zack rubbed the back of his neck.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAAIIQ9RsB
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HFP58pc3q
"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.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsiJqP9IQ58
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCDs7nj9bg
"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.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TyJ074cp1
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4u6nEeaCF
"I'm Abelle. What's your name?" The man asked, catching Zack off guard.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2LrsUvUpY
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfV9MdOPSl
"Oh, uh, it's Zack." He answered and Abelle nodded.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡay30VzkHSp
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdQ1EXnt1Q
"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.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7psm0vSB1O
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCjyn61Zw1
Once they found the staircase, they left the trail and Abelle let out a breath of disbelief as he turned to Zack.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFATkBOOb8
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pJHgxoXRc
"Are you hurt in anyway?" Abelle asked with concern as he went over to Zack. Zack gave him a smile and shrugged.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuN3zXHR43
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFe2qqAJvB
"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.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0Eg57iBsP
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCU7Lp8uLGp
"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.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5w1mbAheV
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fDHg02C3b
"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.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRETINpTcMJ
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡms42gzmMIz
"Alright, so I guess I'll message you later." Zack said before turning and beginning to walk away.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumoO0m7KRt
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrD3UFHTzdd
"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.620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAl1WYJGnyA
