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.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPZ3d5IJ9G

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.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpVJPHkWaG

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.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhNSx55vwU

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.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx17iFBNkXB

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.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡheFt8N7DYX
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5EQnEOBsr
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.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPy50ge8Al
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmeXqMBNMth
“It’s um...A nice night tonight.” Zack said in a soft voice. The man didn’t look away from the edge, however.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZJbndbr52
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡim1bNj3hvs
“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.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtDvuWsyOT
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXm5XwAXft
“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.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSn615DLQd
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOwXfMVgAO
“Yeah, I do. Do you?” The man asked in response.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWNAERKT00
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQB69ETxo6d
“Oh, uh…” Zack cleared his throat a bit and turned towards the edge again as he felt the heat spread across his face.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYMl2khejh
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2rccQvww7
“I-I’ve been once or twice.” Zack replied and the man nodded, facing back to the edge as well.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UsMJS3RLK
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvbDlGltTR
“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.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXV90tr1T6
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFvjAf9WyF
“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.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6bVgHFObS
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdaZ6QLSb4
“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.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjQaki0sxQ
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQZlwQWTzo
“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.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUDr6S5Xcb
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnrP97spmC
“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.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdrbV2Dxqa
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPitWa5MfhH
“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.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuZzI9utRD
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZ2fWNLdFW
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.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1Yd8Wn4o8
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfP47c7fId6
‘Why am I doing this? I don’t even know him.’748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbe5vehmqM2
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZk0ySZBhhu
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.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjg21GiTlt
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZyhfIRo1A
‘I just met him a few minutes ago, why do I want to help him?’748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xRrMLdhsm
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pYghGLPzv
Luckily, Zacks weight caused him to fall quicker, gaining on him more and more as the ground grew ever closer.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNaaYNYi0Ey
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsPgRuEuxn
‘I’m always taking lives...But, he’s different, somehow...He deserves to live, even if he doesn’t want to…’748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTKdEdVf7Y
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfedpvZ1rYb
Zack reached his hand out to the man and grabbed onto his arm.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZMCCtyWgQ
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGENsM8dv45
‘I want him to live!’748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupSsmxDGKk
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxPjUxxJEJ
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.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqPjAWox3I
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SbJoN2rbV
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.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLER0156lPG
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMtvUZCDM5
“A-Are you alright…?” Zack asked slowly before the man pulled away from him, quickly moving away from him.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnB5yFVqUj7
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxvB03zufF
“Why the hell did you do that?! You ruined everything!” The man yelled at Zack, making him flinch.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwufA49xwC
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RzC9XdRWX
“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.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5rnNOEBq2
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2UCiHtx5a
“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.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RXjmCXfGa
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlE2gid90H
“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.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcp5rtrv8CS
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8rdACSVYH
“We could be friends.” Zack said with a smile. The man looked up at him in confusion.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVdrlymjiw
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51WLmqbDhF
"What?" He asked in disbelief and Zack rubbed the back of his neck.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMgZZHcV3z
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJpAwkn0gn
"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.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04ixGfZWRb
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqtrFVCSKl
"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.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu618gU41ZA
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFcSbPF8NU
"I'm Abelle. What's your name?" The man asked, catching Zack off guard.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV58UlkKXd0
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFLmfk1fzn
"Oh, uh, it's Zack." He answered and Abelle nodded.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvD48VYagJ
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYR7HmsOV5l
"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.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYdp4gJ9HG
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFvsnyp4nh
Once they found the staircase, they left the trail and Abelle let out a breath of disbelief as he turned to Zack.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJu1PXj4Pp
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZFSAsCitg
"Are you hurt in anyway?" Abelle asked with concern as he went over to Zack. Zack gave him a smile and shrugged.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwBjYXDGAQ
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46rAWk8bNw
"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.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIzbmFePsg
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmvTgte04R
"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.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOJaS3NdDg
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1yKJuRidI
"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.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncYlevRkwL
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUl2yov2Nl
"Alright, so I guess I'll message you later." Zack said before turning and beginning to walk away.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvParz3fVy
748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5K2f0mpJtD
"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.748Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xVjYanPin
