Your parents gave birth to you today. You were their first and last favorite son they would ever have. You were born without hands. Fast forward. Your five and still no hands and you were helpless. Soon a man came to your parents and say that he could help. Like any parents who wanted you to be the perfect son they accept. On the surgery table you wake after a long time just to have knives for hands. The doctor said that this was a subsitute until he get real hands. The next day the doctor was murdered over an accidental surgery with a paitent. Your parents could no longer bear having a freak for a son. One day they left without uttering a word leaving you in the house alone.
Years from now you had to replace your hands every so often. No one comes up to play with you because you fear that you would be treated diffrently. You can't be gentle with anything. Just by holding a leaf it was scarred. The only thing that you could hold without harming are moths and butterflies. At least they accept you for who you are.
One day "She" moved next door. She was like a beautiful butterfly from a far corner of the earth. Like a rose you could not touch. For the first time you fall in love. Everyday you watch her from your window. One day after having a fight with her brother; he dared her to go into your house saying it was haunted. Just so she wouldn't be humiliated she accept. Once she was in your house you kept out of her sight but followed her. She found your garden of moths. Just when a weapon from a rusted armor fell down you jumped to her rescue and pulled her away then slipped out of her sight. She found you later hiding your face and hands. She looked at your face and touched one of your scars(when you accidently scarred yourself getting used to your hands) her touch was so warm. Without noticing your hand was out of the shadows and she saw who you were. She was not afraid and you both quickly become friends. Every so often after school she would come visit you in secret. You would talk and when you were young you played games. One night she accidently fell asleep on your shoulder. She was warm and for a moment you felt human. You caressed her cheek until you were back in reality and accidently scratched her cheek. You pulled away as she winced in pain. She wasn't angry but she looked at you funny. She hugged your neck and kissed you. Your first kiss! One day she tells you gloomily that her parents got her engaged to someone she didn't love. She wanted to run away with you and you both have it all planned it out. Her fiance was watching though. One night he planned to get rid of you by taking your knived hand and slicing you over and over. Then she came and pushed him aside where he landed on your hand therefore killing him. She knelt down by you cradling your head; weeping. She was so warm and you loved her so much. You tell her your feelings and at that moment it was your turn to kiss her. Then you slip away.
