Finding Edward Scissorhands (Part 45)

Today was the worst day at school ever. You had a test (which you failed) and then you had to walk all the way home because your parents forgot to pick you up. As you walked home alone, you walked past a strange looking house. You walked in front of it and stared at it. It looked like a haunted house. "It isn't Halloween, it's April!" You thought to yourself. You knew deep down that you needed to be home by 5pm for dinner, but your curiosity got the better of you, you just had to walk in and see what this place was.

As you walked towards the house you saw some very strange shaped hedges. Some were dinosaurs, animals, people, hands... You thought it was odd to see such man made things in a seemingly abandoned house. You walked towards the front door and knocked on it, there was no answer. You tugged on the door handle and slowly pushed it open. You stepped inside and was welcomed with an empty, dark home. There was a chandelier near a staircase, there was no light coming from it. By the stairs was a scary looking ghoul. It looked scarier the closer you walked towards it. You ended up dodging it and walked up the creaky old staircase that spiralled upstairs.

The upstairs was just as bare as the downstairs was. You walked to the end of the first corridor you came to and then entered what looked like a giant master bedroom.  From the moment you walked in, you saw a large gaping hole in the ceiling. It looked like a giant dragon had come down and swiped at it, destroying it in one swoop of it's wing. Nearby was a little  fireplace that had a tiny soft bed in the bottom of it. The tiny bed was the size of a dog bed. "Who in their right mind would sleep in a tiny fireplace?" You wondered.

"H-hi!" You heard. You turned around and squinted in to the darkness. The only light came from the giant hole in the roof. "Me, I sleep there..." A tiny voice continued. He sounded like a little boy.

You walked towards where you thought the voice was coming from. What you thought was a little boy came to be a young man. A man walked out from the darkness, giving you a fright. At first glance he was a regular 17 year old, but on  closer inspection, you saw that this young man had extremely messy dark hair and scissors for hands. You looked horrified.

"What? Who are you?" You asked.

"I am Edward. I live here."

"Oh, I'm so sorry. I thought this place was abandoned. I only came in because I was curious... I'll leave now!"

"No, please don't run away! I like making new friends. What's your name?" The boy innocently asked.

"I'm Y/N. I live down the street. Where are your family? Like, your parents and siblings?"

"My dad died. He fell down and wouldn't wake up. Once he died everybody ran away so I got left here alone."

"Nobody helped you?"

"No, Miss."

You received a text from your mother, she wanted you to get home.

"I know, why don't I take you home? Do you want to come over to my house?"

"Yes, please. I haven't been on an adventure for years!" He innocently said.

"Alright, Edward. Let's go!"
