I had sent my brother
to Mr.Todd's barber shop.
I knew what happened there.
Oh, how i
knew.
You're probably thinking..."how can you send your
brother to someone like that and be killed?"Well the thing is he
is only my step brother,and he has hurt me in many ways.Not only in
using words but, physically.I'll never forget the way that he touched
me.I had taken a walk and also to see if Mr.Todd had done what
expected him to do.As I walked up the stairs I didn't see that crazy
looking women who was supposed to be his so-called "helper".The
floor boards creaked as I got to the door.Hopefully no one heard me
on the inside.Right as I had opened the door, I had felt something
warm and dripping down my face.I put a finger to my cheek and looked
at it;before licking my finger clean.I looked up to see what had
caused this blood to splatter all over my face.Sure enough Mr.Todd
had my Brothers limp body in his barber's chair,dead with blood
running down all over him.You should have been there,it was quite a
sight.The sad part is that I enjoyed the blood,I enjoyed the look on
my brothers face;everything was just so priceless.Was I some sick
person who got off on something like this?Apparently i wasn't alone
because i knew two people who did it for a living.Mr.Todd looked at
me then glanced down looking at the floor,breathing shallow.
"Come
in,shut the door." he said with a fierce low tone.I was a little
frightened,I'm not going to lie to you.I quickly shut the door behind
me,hearing the bell jingle.Everything was rushing through my
mind,maybe this was my last step,maybe this was my last breath,last
thought,my last everything.He swiftly grabbed me and put me up
against him.My back was up against his chest,my chest was heaving up
and down,i was so scared.He tilted my head so his razor was right
beneath my jawline.
"What did you see?"
he whispered
into my ear.
he was so close.
"WHAT DID YOU SEE?"
he
yelled at me.
"I didn't see anything,I just came in when the
blood hit me."
I said in a whisper.
"You know
him?"
as he turned me so I could see the corpse of my
brother,slumped on the chair.
My courage started to build in
me.
"unfortunately,I did."
Mr.Todd could see i was
angry in a way.
To my surprise he let me go.
I quickly moved
away from him but, being that close to him wasn't that
bad.
"Mr.Todd,he's my brother,step-brother."
"ah,are
you going to turn me in,because if you say yes you'll be just like
your,dear old brother over there."he pointed with his razor.
"I
would like to pass on that if you mind."I said,not knowing what
he was to do next.I watched him as he cleaned of his razor.
He
walked over to his chair,and he stepped on a lever,then all of a
sudden the chair flew back and my brother went down a trap door.
I
walked carefully over to the trap door.
I saw that my brother's
brains were splattered all over the floor and blood as well.
His
body was totally disassembled.
"so love,whats your answer?"
I
backed away slowly,and looked up at him.
he backed me up into the
wall and had me in a choking position.
my breathing started to get
intense once again.
"Well?"
he said,while opening his
razor by his side.
I only smirked at him.
"Mr.Todd,i was
the one who sent him to you,I know what you do up here Mr.Todd."
"If
you,knew why did you send your brother to me,and end his life so
quickly?"
"Let's just say i was getting rid of some
garbage,and plus he was 30,he probably only had 5 more years
left,then he would of probably gotten the plague or something."
I
said walking around the barber chair seeing how it worked.
"then
again,It would have been more pleasurable to watch him die on his
death bed."
I said smirking.
all of a sudden,the door flew
open.
"deary!what's going on?"
a women said while out
of breath.
She looked back and forth between me and Mr.Todd and
notice the blood all over us.
"Mrs.Lovett,this is your new
helper."
we both looked at him like he was mad.
"but,i
Can't i have a family."
"yes, and were standing right
here,either except it or you'll become a lovely meat pie for the
whole world to enjoy."
I was surprised by how he,made up my
own mind.
But, i had to except it or I would be dead as
well.
"yes,my new family."
I whispered,a little
sad.
"Come on then deary,let's get you settled in, then i'll
show you how to make pie's and run the shop."she said while
directing me out the door.She was talking to me but,I couldn't here
anything.All I heard was my heartbeat.As i glanced one more time at
Mr.Todd,still staring at me cleaning his precious razor.
Here is
too the Beginning and END.
