Carmon gasped and stumbled backwards. She was frozen with fear and couldn't bring herself to scream. It was all true. Edward Scissorhands was real. Carmon placed her hand on the table and sliced open her hand. She made a yelping noise and looked down. Scarlet liquid spilled from the gored hand.
Edward was startled by the girl's yap. "Please," he begged "I won't hurt you. I didn't mean to--"his voice trailed off. The girl's quivering subsided. She was breathing heavily. "Are you Edward?" she asked in a shaky voice. The stranger nodded. He seemed harmless so Carmon moved closer. "Who are you?" he questioned. "Carmon....uh...my name is Carmon." she stammered. She went to shake his hand but decided against it. "Carmon," he repeated "Why were you going to hurt yourself?" he asked with a somewhat bewildered look on his pale, marked face.
"Well," she began, "I just wanted to I guess.....I mean.....I'm unhappy so.....what's the point in living if you can't enjoy it?" she inquired staring into Edward's black eyes. He gazed back. "Could I.....er.....would you mind if I...?"she asked nervously gesturing towards his "hands." Edward hesitated, but moved closer and reached out his hand. Carmon slowly ran her hands over the cold, silver surface. They looked at each other, and for a moment they couldn't take their eyes off each other.

They sat against the the damp wall on the rotting wood floor. Carmon and Edward talked for hours. He told her about what happened with Kim and how alone he felt now. She told him how misunderstood she felt and how she came up with the decision to kill herself. "I'm glad you didn't." he said with a small smile. Carmon laughed and glanced at Edward. "Yeah, me too." she said with a grin.
Carmon looked outside and saw the sun rising. "I have to go." she said getting up. Her plan was ruined now but she didn't really seem to care anymore. "Wait," Edward whispered "Will you come back tomorrow?" he looked hopeful. "Sure, if you want me to." Carmon said hoping he would. "Please." he said with a sheepish smile.
