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.785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvctTdypzl

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.785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBUpAj48gg

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.785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRX9UhQW10

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.785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IoWG5zZMp

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.785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rRR2N5kq4

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.785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdJjTQHaAy
785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdu5v0tE2OB
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.785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKlHX0hle3
785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjml2ecRnJ
“It’s um...A nice night tonight.” Zack said in a soft voice. The man didn’t look away from the edge, however.785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRo2R7TYge
785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXC1wSlsQGl
“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.785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzuczpv3nd
785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6qSGVv2xD
“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.785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8VznL7qDz
785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWNdyUBkbw
“Yeah, I do. Do you?” The man asked in response.785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiq2azIOal
785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnND86aZCkV
“Oh, uh…” Zack cleared his throat a bit and turned towards the edge again as he felt the heat spread across his face.785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVHcDEZYgr
785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGD2E0pg0T
“I-I’ve been once or twice.” Zack replied and the man nodded, facing back to the edge as well.785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMKks2Z0Bq
785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnq19nSz7FL
“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.785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VYctEikER
785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSBl1KOAe9
“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.785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsG8qpMSyow
785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmmrhgehYw
“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.785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LhqMqb6Zc
785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmLFesXXPI
“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.785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7u4lJPuj9
785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0lyWMn4zu
“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.785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0asU5tANZ
785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92ZTXiKNIg
“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.785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0akdey0gwO
785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYET90NDWC
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.785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXv0Rtx8MJR
785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQqUYVVXrI
‘Why am I doing this? I don’t even know him.’785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLytd8pZH99
785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqi9n3jEovU
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.785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUHpRaIdaC
785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWtcDvTCyq
‘I just met him a few minutes ago, why do I want to help him?’785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1l8dDaw8Mb
785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsff9HiE0k
Luckily, Zacks weight caused him to fall quicker, gaining on him more and more as the ground grew ever closer.785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0ZfLACcCm
785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPL7gaxdlws
‘I’m always taking lives...But, he’s different, somehow...He deserves to live, even if he doesn’t want to…’785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXrlNScj2H
785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJ5q3xvsCs
Zack reached his hand out to the man and grabbed onto his arm.785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmNZ6WwkkR
785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzfBjKyL4X
‘I want him to live!’785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOSBIeCZU7
785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6gizAilDu
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.785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduaMk2w9J7
785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zijQRbxxG
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.785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBseI8C91c
785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaMFdT4GHU
“A-Are you alright…?” Zack asked slowly before the man pulled away from him, quickly moving away from him.785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JRPo4I8we
785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGHF8Bwtmx
“Why the hell did you do that?! You ruined everything!” The man yelled at Zack, making him flinch.785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2l7cNi2oJ
785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrBgjABimm
“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.785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCW0gX7O07m
785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8BZgjXTcl
“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.785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZI8Ep4hKX0
785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcU4z2fGvh
“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.785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDiEYIrk15
785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFofAJpqvt
“We could be friends.” Zack said with a smile. The man looked up at him in confusion.785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34XCPGvwY9
785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyNB95DKdd
"What?" He asked in disbelief and Zack rubbed the back of his neck.785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5vngKKQLn
785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkx5MwV3aT2
"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.785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HuvyGcD7a
785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFQVM7JVY0
"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.785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jlvz717W6
785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjRQdvq8FK
"I'm Abelle. What's your name?" The man asked, catching Zack off guard.785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1llP0RrYf
785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOoxn6SnQZ
"Oh, uh, it's Zack." He answered and Abelle nodded.785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohOmrhSin8
785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22Ne94MnsJ
"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.785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZAVSCfpWj
785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1tMGuMjPx
Once they found the staircase, they left the trail and Abelle let out a breath of disbelief as he turned to Zack.785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtiqcx8SMOf
785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8qnjDHjel
"Are you hurt in anyway?" Abelle asked with concern as he went over to Zack. Zack gave him a smile and shrugged.785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TMkyOSHM8
785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKARq5HsjPd
"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.785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsIoo3mIHj
785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPt9LqQ2qs
"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.785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIyq5WKuqr
785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtiVzlQgcy
"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.785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYVdYpQ239
785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzdyUm1kqP
"Alright, so I guess I'll message you later." Zack said before turning and beginning to walk away.785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8N9FT5ruCA
785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6SIUoPSSQ
"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.785Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xWVVl5pcg
