Chapter 3

"Oh, oh no," Stephanie said as her 1995 white camery started to slow down on the rising hill. She was half way into her "journey" to retrieve the locket and already her car was giving out. " C'mon," she pleaded, though, obviously, the car couldn't hear her, "what did my bothers do to you?" Pushing on the gas pedal she urged it forward, but it would move. Then, quite suddenly and against her pleading, it died.

"Great," she muttered putting the gear into park and getting out. She looked up the inclined hill and groaned inwardly, thinking of the walk ahead. It wasn't that she didn't like to walk, although, it wasn't her most favorite thing. But her ankle was still a little tender from the escapade in her grandma's back yard.

She could turn back. Heck, it'd only be a small walk then she could tell her grandma that she wasn't able to reach it or something. But, then, she thought, I'd have to come back and get my car somehow. She could just go up, like she said she would. But what if Edward's really not like what her Kim told her he was like? After all, she hadn't seen him in what, like forever. How would she know what he was like now? She wanted to believe he was gentle and innocent, like her grandma described him, but, several years of summer vacations filled with rumors from her grandma's neighbors had taken it's toll. Plus how could anybody who killed another person be innocent?

Yet, she secretly wanted to see him. The legendary Edward Scissorhands. Many dreams of hers had been filled with blurry images of him. Some with blank faces others with scares so numerous she could scarcely discern any other facial features. His sharp blades had also haunted her nightmares. Cutting everything in her path including her.

Recalling these things she wanted to clear the picture, to match a face with the story she had heard so many times. Plus, she promised her grandma she would. So, with that she set out, limping a little, but determined to carry out Kim's wishes.

Several minutes later she stood panting at a rusty gate that, she supposed, lead to the garden. That overgrown road wasn't as easy to hike as it looked, which, it didn't look very easy. She often had to take small detours because the under brush was so thick. No wonder nobody comes up here, she thought, its nigh impossible to get through. Was it like this when her grandma came here? She didn't think so or at least it wasn't this bad.

As she stood there trying to catch her breath and gather her courage a strange feeling of uneasiness crept over her. Was he watching her now? Oh gosh, what if he was! She nervously bit her lip and started fingering a strand of hair. What if he… what if he had like, died. Yeah, that's it. He's dead…he's dead because… because he died of a broken heart! She rolled her eyes at herself. Edward and Kim hadn't been that in love. It was more like puppy love, she guessed. And finding a dead body wasn't exactly at the top of her "to do" list.

If her grandmother's stories were correct, then on the other side of this gate would be a garden. And then there would be the front door… the front door to where… "Ok, Stephanie, she told herself, " There's nothing to be afraid of. Just ask him about the locket and if he gets hostile, then you can run… hopefully."

Still biting her lips she bounced up and down on her the balls of her feet. Ok, now if was taking ridiculously to long for her to gather courage. Forcing herself to stop thinking stupid thoughts she pushed the rusty gate open and stepped into the legendary gardens.

She caught her breath and stood mesmerized staring at the garden. More sun light shone on this part of the mountain, because there weren't as many trees and their canopies to block it out. The garden was green, very green. And bushes cut into life like figures stood as a monument to whoever lived here, and that would be Edward. Pushing back her thoughts of Edward, Stephanie roamed the gardens studying each bush with an artistic eye and an awed silence. Each leave, each branch was cut so finely and perfectly so that not a single piece of plant was out of place.

After several minutes of wandering around she found herself at the front door and the reason she was here came back to her along with a stomach full of dread. Better to get it over with fast rather than taking time to think. So before her mind could conjure up anything she pushed open the aged door and once again stepped into an unfamiliar place.

Inside the mansion was huge, like she expected. It was also dark, musty, and dust filled. Minor details she had left out of her fantasying. There was also a large staircase leading to upstairs. Going on the story Kim had often told her she guessed Edward was somewhere up said stairs in the attic. Now, finding the attic was the tricky part.

Hesitantly she stepped onto the marble steps testing their sturdiness. After coming to the conclusion that the stairs were indeed sturdy she quietly walked ascended the rest of them, not bothering to use the dust covered railing. After coming to the landing there were a few doors to choose from, using her genius mind to figure out which one to go through she choose the open one.

As soon as she stepped through the door frame the temperature dropped by several degrees. One reason, she supposed was because of the large hole in the roof, and another reason was because of the huge ice sculptures that resided here in.

Stephanie's heart beat harder than it had been a few seconds before. This was, of course, Edward's room. It didn't a great amount of knowledge to guess that, but the fact that she was in the legendary Edward's Scissorhands room sent nervous shivers down her spine.

Where was he? She stepped in further. A rustling sound to the right of her brought her head around to facethe scarred one ofa young man.

Gasping she stepped back adrenalin running through her veins. Was this Edward? He was so much younger than she had expected. The young man stepped towards her. His movement was stiff in his black leather suit. Stephanie's eyes ran over his body, taking in his wild black hair, his soft black eyes, and his, Stephanie swallowed hard, his scissors that took the place of his hands.

"Edward?" she whispered, finding that was too afraid to speak.

"Kim?"

A/N: Ok, sorry. That was the most retarded way to end a chapter I know, but what can I say? And I'm also sorry about vague details. I've only seen the movie once and I don't own it so I couldn't remember what everything really looked like. And next chapter I will be using the ideas you all sent me. So, review!
