Spots and Scissors

meeting Edward

*As soon as the car arrives on top of the hill, Peg and Perdita stepped out of the car, opened the gate and entered into a beautiful garden filled with gorgeous flowers and large topiary sculptures. They were amazed*

Peg: Oh, it's so beautiful. *She whispers. Perdita nodded in agreement*

* The castle looked old and rundown. Then Peg noticed something moved up at the window, but once she looked up. She saw nothing*

Peg: Hello? *She called out. The dalmatian looked at the window, she has a feeling someone or something Peg saw was watching them. Soon they walked up the steps to the front door. Peg knocked on the door, but no answered. Soon she opened the door and stepped inside with Perdita following. 

Peg: Hello, Avon calling. * It was a dark place with little bright sunlight shining from the outside. Perdita gently sniffs around and sneeze, due to the place being dusty and filled with cobwebs. Then she looked at strange-looking machines, devices, even tools. Covered in cobwebs as well. As Peg backed up by the staircase taken back by the scenery, Perdita's right ear perked up when she heard a snip sound coming from upstairs. She turns just in time to see a shadow disappearing from sight, she barks and goes up the stairs*

Peg: Perdita! Oh, Hello. I'm Peg Boggs. I'm your local Avon representative. Hello?  *She follows after her up the stairs*

Peg: I'm sorry to barge in like this. But you don't have any reason to be afraid. Oh, this is some huge house, isn't it? Thank goodness for those aerobics classes.  *Once she caught up, they were in an attic room. There was a gaping hole in the middle of the roof. Then she saw the dalmatian sitting by an old fireplace with an old bed. Peg came to join her as they saw book pages, war medals, and newspaper clippings hanged or pinned on the wall. Soon they heard a snip again and looked to see a figured crouched down at the corner of the room, in the shadows*

Peg: Hello. Hello. Why are you hiding back there? *The shadowy figure stood up* You don't have to hide from me. I'm Peg Boggs. And this is Perdita. I'm your local Avon representative and I'm harmless as cherry- *The two stopped as the figure was slowly approaching them. Perdita stood her ground and went into protection mode* Oh my! I can see that we disturbed you. How stupid of us, we'll just be going now. Let's go, dear.

"Don't go." *The figure spoke in a gentle timid voice. He came out of the shadows revealing a young man. With messy black hair, pale white skin, gentle brown eyes, and an outfit, black leather, various studs, buckles and tattered fabric. Peg and Perdita gentle gasped*

Peg: Oh my! What happened to you?

"I'm not finished." *He held his Scissorhands up showing them. Startling them*

Peg: Uh, put those down. Don't come any closer. Just please...  *He obeyed and slowly puts his Scissorhands down. That's when she and Perdita realized* Those are your hands? *She slowly steps forward towards him as he slowly backs away a bit. Perdita goes up to him and carefully sniffs him. He flinched a little*

Peg: Oh, it's okay, Perdita's harmless. What happened to you? Where are your parents? Um... Your mother? Your father? *He looked sad and frightened at the same time*

"He didn't wake up." *He answered. Peg nodded and Perdita felt sorry for him* 

Peg: Are you alone? Do you live up here by yourself? *He didn't respond. Then noticed the scars on his face* What happened to your face? *She reaches her hand out, only for him to flinched back in fear* Oh no, I won't hurt you. But at the very least let me give you a good astringent and this will help to prevent infection. 

*Peg placed her bag down and took out a small cotton ball gently cleaning the scars*

Peg: What's your name?

"Edward." *He replied*

Perdita narrating: Poor Edward, of course we couldn't leave him all alone. Peg decided to take him home with us.

*They exit the castle*
