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.623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDfX7ruJ7z

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.623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbI4r7H4K24

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.623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDX2yIgYmq

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.623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyt4XeVM63r

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.623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGoUb4EbA1G
623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETnzLZYloS
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.623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqraiDNTBq
623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRk0sjdvUkX
“It’s um...A nice night tonight.” Zack said in a soft voice. The man didn’t look away from the edge, however.623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8y3WU3kHc
623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuyxPeT410
“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.623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGMV19xBTO
623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCHnKliTeK
“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.623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVk6gRoThG
623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8siT3FC3Th
“Yeah, I do. Do you?” The man asked in response.623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4iViumyIN8
623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGZW56Bnf5
“Oh, uh…” Zack cleared his throat a bit and turned towards the edge again as he felt the heat spread across his face.623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMLDkSySuB
623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxY0XABlFaW
“I-I’ve been once or twice.” Zack replied and the man nodded, facing back to the edge as well.623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYgw5IzIQR
623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6L3XB25bq9
“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.623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9aDPFcCDGG
623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1GwoW0swx
“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.623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3CithRCTG
623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsURxeSzcB5
“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.623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWxMKUHI64
623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivhrIkghMo
“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.623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKrmxB3WW0
623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChbCVkR4fx
“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.623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM56t2i5dDz
623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbHE1vPyGC
“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.623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh31683Skqg
623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFfkD0C6LI
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.623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KquoWH0TO
623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jocX5TWhr
‘Why am I doing this? I don’t even know him.’623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXhY2hU5gF
623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJAoS5Q2sA
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.623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcngQPU8Hc
623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrmaHMG9LK
‘I just met him a few minutes ago, why do I want to help him?’623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHMpHCw7yH
623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlyTbMn0ey
Luckily, Zacks weight caused him to fall quicker, gaining on him more and more as the ground grew ever closer.623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuFti5JJNR
623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadjRRw2OBY
‘I’m always taking lives...But, he’s different, somehow...He deserves to live, even if he doesn’t want to…’623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerhESdZBNs
623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvuaFNHVBQ
Zack reached his hand out to the man and grabbed onto his arm.623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMxbY2jyMx
623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiADVnYH0g
‘I want him to live!’623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Vl20r8d94
623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIquHrsCnz
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.623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mMdd6CbHO
623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOCjlST1KL
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.623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKcWi71ZEG
623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJ2FIb2rX9
“A-Are you alright…?” Zack asked slowly before the man pulled away from him, quickly moving away from him.623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8YSsmywfK
623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPFsqnufxh
“Why the hell did you do that?! You ruined everything!” The man yelled at Zack, making him flinch.623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUp7aI5Glij
623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmPjWdRbYo
“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.623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTgPXFrgpx
623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvmBzxee5E
“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.623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5oVzwoYIM
623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaFotIqYil
“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.623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAULhCK6YWQ
623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtmpRnDpht
“We could be friends.” Zack said with a smile. The man looked up at him in confusion.623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDq6nn6z4de
623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUd9Bc2fhfD
"What?" He asked in disbelief and Zack rubbed the back of his neck.623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFE7ucf9iR
623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKdkqGj9ql
"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.623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXb1kf689F5
623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAP07kmPDYk
"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.623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxBY5zFRYA
623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsdRXMkp14
"I'm Abelle. What's your name?" The man asked, catching Zack off guard.623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMPzii50VQ
623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRqBxi6wfc
"Oh, uh, it's Zack." He answered and Abelle nodded.623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhEmhrIVRk
623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyeATm0mz5G
"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.623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3W5uf7Ye6
623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXrvz6wWFc
Once they found the staircase, they left the trail and Abelle let out a breath of disbelief as he turned to Zack.623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6DzLOSQk2
623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJPLgBm7wE
"Are you hurt in anyway?" Abelle asked with concern as he went over to Zack. Zack gave him a smile and shrugged.623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO42xQSjYJf
623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDHtM7It9K
"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.623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIq6mLau1Nc
623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcb5MBiK6C0
"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.623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7w0ZW9Ake
623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66aUoJZkVL
"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.623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSKdQcMy6n
623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqlTdXBC4a
"Alright, so I guess I'll message you later." Zack said before turning and beginning to walk away.623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCt2cTDMyPS
623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVIxaS0BLK
"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.623Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEelwAt9CJ
