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.683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69UJfozxX4

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.683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAkk3P8j0o

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.683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqYOGRnKMw

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.683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAWcZtL74t

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.683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TlDhxWZBd

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.683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzDxS1ekFR
683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXVEn9jnpY
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.683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskE9tHcUgA
683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBXxwX1GqJ
“It’s um...A nice night tonight.” Zack said in a soft voice. The man didn’t look away from the edge, however.683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6YQx0Sktw
683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDGMdZlPQP
“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.683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEac1ecFJW
683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFbFfK1oLc
“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.683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunGYsjk5cN
683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnyMQrWCTh
“Yeah, I do. Do you?” The man asked in response.683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhERbPQXTM
683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYeVe8Iu3mM
“Oh, uh…” Zack cleared his throat a bit and turned towards the edge again as he felt the heat spread across his face.683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCxYmHQWcc
683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvYmVU39tI
“I-I’ve been once or twice.” Zack replied and the man nodded, facing back to the edge as well.683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6oPJ4TU6z
683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5YmHGDgpM
“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.683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qgRXn1cRx
683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUS3zMYdOc
“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.683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNCqGL85E9
683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffZxekeCl4
“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.683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYhQbf9HIj
683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOf4wit32v2
“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.683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFK4HvCXOx
683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXactolSBcI
“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.683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv100FqNiZW
683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7CZO6A1Bn
“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.683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjl0RNt8kK
683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURp0q4LXhj
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.683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRVvPk4rQp
683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3roA89FaU
‘Why am I doing this? I don’t even know him.’683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7I8GtA7IRw
683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOi7RnX1wqT
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.683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOD9WKvRjtA
683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISyOJzwYJc
‘I just met him a few minutes ago, why do I want to help him?’683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3W2IWkaei
683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZaFBOlDgG5
Luckily, Zacks weight caused him to fall quicker, gaining on him more and more as the ground grew ever closer.683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVXwOIKFNT
683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEhEPEryiZ
‘I’m always taking lives...But, he’s different, somehow...He deserves to live, even if he doesn’t want to…’683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxF3iVmp8O
683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdg6CJla8PZ
Zack reached his hand out to the man and grabbed onto his arm.683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTZy1RM71i
683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBJogS0qJa
‘I want him to live!’683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmOPdX3FPC
683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdPgO6bjfi
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.683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWLYR0OapY
683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdpsryUfAV
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.683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0SMDb6ULH
683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQiHj9jBbei
“A-Are you alright…?” Zack asked slowly before the man pulled away from him, quickly moving away from him.683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEK9iOJcCjr
683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqPBL3F7Dm
“Why the hell did you do that?! You ruined everything!” The man yelled at Zack, making him flinch.683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzFxU7amJ1
683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXiVj0vhVK8
“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.683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEpiDHBoBB
683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtZB09benu
“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.683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8g4gLM8hjr
683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnO6UmlKsWv
“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.683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORVDvGnGrj
683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyYxbLQknO
“We could be friends.” Zack said with a smile. The man looked up at him in confusion.683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsr3kmzsXcb
683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2rHUYe1Eg
"What?" He asked in disbelief and Zack rubbed the back of his neck.683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0nd5zqA1z
683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU61OlxJf4R
"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.683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7ZqPcF9C3
683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlRjxUGSm8
"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.683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrpgimT5ZB
683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiY920Yqcc
"I'm Abelle. What's your name?" The man asked, catching Zack off guard.683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdTudctnoO
683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjM3dyM7hWG
"Oh, uh, it's Zack." He answered and Abelle nodded.683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBAxZhPN9M
683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0hcsCat8z
"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.683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMPYibA12T
683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZ7lDLjf3a
Once they found the staircase, they left the trail and Abelle let out a breath of disbelief as he turned to Zack.683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZW5XA5mgS4
683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsggtgTMia1
"Are you hurt in anyway?" Abelle asked with concern as he went over to Zack. Zack gave him a smile and shrugged.683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzT9AgSwaI
683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADQ9AO62JI
"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.683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTINCNLdL3
683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcq08FKPDAn
"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.683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYfiYvqHUE
683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjwhHl2Sk1
"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.683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxY96AxmGh
683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4fJq2YisE
"Alright, so I guess I'll message you later." Zack said before turning and beginning to walk away.683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhxzauzrIj
683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROPLAcaQgz
"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.683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwstuJkWhi
