"I can't say here." Backing away from Kim and heading from here as if she were the enemy.

"What?" Kim asked exsasperated about to speak to her mom. "No Edward." She quickly turned

"No Kim, listen I'm in trouble, they'll lock me up!"

"Edward? What you haven't done anything -" Kim spoke, her lip trembling "No..." She said devastingly.

"I have to think, alone." Edward spoke, eyeing the Boggs with fear as Peg backed nearer the telephone.

"Edward for Christ sake, son calm down!" Bill spoke lazily but eyed the phone Peg was heading to.

"We've heard what you did to Joyce, remember what he did to me." Kevin blurted.

"I can't stay here, I'm sorry, I 'll be in touch...somehow." Edward thought about his comment and laughed to himself. He'd learnt about Irony and the thought of him trying to be in touch - writing a letter or dialing a phone made him laugh.

Kim walked to Edward who had backed to the front door and found himself raising one scissorhand in defense to her, it made him feel sick but she wasn't listening. She stopped in her tracks, eyes eyes wide with worry, though, for him.

"Please open the door for me Kim."

"No." She said, tears running silently.

"Open the door Kim." Edward asked a little sterner.

She obliged only because he'd asked her...he.

His heart had started beating at a horrendous rate and all the while he didn't know why the hell he felt so guilty for being there. He'd done nothing.And then it happend.

Edward ran and felt the first tear he had had in a long while.

The run had been clumsy and he'd skidded. It was the moment he let his fear of being caught push him. He wasn't stupid any more. He knew the police would want him either way.He couldn't stay in the castle, the loneliness he had encountered up there was too much to bear and now that the Boggs family knew he was about he couldn't trust them, not now. They'd looked at him like a killer, a dangerous man. Was he dangerous? He didn't know. So many thoughts that been swimming in his head so fast it had hurt. He had so much to learn, so much to experience. He knew he needed help of some kind, but where to find this 'help' he really didn't know. His father, no, the Inventor had had a few pieces of information about the area he was in but nothing that would really help Edward. A globe of the world had once been on a heavy wooden desk, lit up with a strange glow that told Edward of strange places that seemed to be in the world, places that were miles apart. If only he could escape somehow to them, learn them, be safe and hidden.

"Don't you dare go after him Kim." Peg spoke.

Kim looked at her mother gobsmaked, her tone had been deadly.

"Mom!?" She cried.

"No. this is a job for the police. Edward is dangerous and? and..." It was all too much for Peg Boggs and she sat herself down on the sofa, pulling her dressing gown around herself.

"Kevin, Whiskey, now, double." Bill barked sitting next to his wife after he gone to the door and locked it suddenly, taking the briefest of moments to peer out of the window, half expecting Edward to jump out from behind the overgrown garden topiary.

Bill made it over to the phone and although Kim was in hysterics and dying to run into the street to shout for the man she loved, she put in anger into grabbing the phone and throwing it hard onto the floor, so it smashed.If they wanted to stop Edward by God they'd be delayed. Peg realized what Kim was doing after she threw the phone to the floor and headed to Peg's bedroom to grab the other phone.

"Young lady I'm warning you your paying for every cent of the that phone - Both of them!!!!" Bill added as he head the crash.

"No -" Kim cried in hysterics "I won't let you hurt him!...You'll call the cops!!!"

Kevin had run into the bedroom and turned to his father.

"Daadddd! Theres no police they've gone!"

"Maybe after him son?" Bill spoke heading back to the lounge window.

"Let's hope so."

"Kevin, bed." Peg barked, laying her empty glass on a side table, still shaken.

"Now calm down everyone, please." Bill spoke, turning to Peg, giving her a reassuring hand on her back as he walked to his bar.

Peg turned to Kim and panicked.

"Kim?"

Peg raced to her daughters room and was about to barge in worriedly but she heard the distressing sobs from the other side of the door and it wretched at her heart. She blew the breath she had been holding out of her nose and sighed. It had to take a moment to register that her own flesh and blood had truly loved the creature they'd now as Edward. No one but a mother couldn't have seen it and Peg knew what heart break looked like, heck, she'd had one once before, before she'd meet Bill at the bowling alley.

Leaving the sad sobs she knew Kim would tire and fall asleep eventually. She hadn't dismissed the idea that her daughter may leave her window in the early morning but hoped for dear life that her precious child would remain on her water bed like the sleeping beauty she was. Peg sighed again wondering why she'd ever gone up to the old mansion at all. It was temptation, curiosity and then the shadow and the movement. Climbing up those horrible dusty stairs and heading to the attic had been exhilaratingly scary. It hadn't dawned on her that the top floor was a little less dusty, a little more lived in and when she thought a homeless man may have appeared with a dirty old beard, dirty clothes and a gruff, sad voice, a strange but odd man had appeared. He carried knives, she remembered but then corrected herself. They were his hands There was pity for him. Then he shuffled forward and Peg had had to admit. For one second this frightening man had stept into the light and was a strange gothic prince. His white as snow complexion, his raven black hair and sculpted body. His chilsed features and huge dark doe eyes that cried for attention or help, she didn't know. God they'd been good times. Edward had made her popular in the neighborhood and Peg had to admit it, as much as it looked like she didn't, she loved every minute. She'd seen the ways the women had looked at Edward, half with the idea of like fire and half with the notion that these woman wanted to get burnt.

The crying from the room had silenced and she knew her daughter had cried herself to sleep and that was when her own tears fell.

Edward took a deep, deep breath, feeling so hollow inside. His body was telling him to slow down, to take a break but his mind, his thoughts were getting the better of him.He's ran so far, so fats, he didn't know where he was? He had no plan, there never was a plan but he knew he had to get as far away from Surburbia as he could. He thought about the last images of his beloved Kim and he felt his heart ache, a very new pain boring into his soul, it hurt like hell. No, the best thing was to forget about her for the time being, and that hurt. He'd find money, get help, get it to Kim. Edward looked up to the sky and let himself wonder for a second, how would the world really react to the man with scissors for hands...
