+Chapter zero+
"It was around 3:00 Am before they finally escaped the wraith of the Demon barber of fleet street, For he was hung and never heard of again never to Raise his Razor high..."A very pale girl said and bowed motioning with her hand A motion towards the sky. "Or was he?" She smirked and the light dramatically flicked off, the few people that were listening stood and clapped.
"Wow... Very breathtaking, Very Well... Very Sweeney of you, you've gotten the part of The Narrator Good job!" A happy males voice said and the girl escaped off stage, A group of three greeted her.
"Good job, Sweeney!" The girl with bright blue eyes and bleached blond hair smiled and joked, as she hugged the girl.
"Thanky!" She smiled and laughed...Ever since she meet the three people, she was proud to call friends, She was know as Sweeney, Because she could tell you anything you need to know about The Legend of Sweeney, Though she didn't pick the name she'd rather be Mrs. Lovett. 'Sweeney' Laughed a bit, Her real name was Christine, Though she seldom Went by it, She rather 'Sweeney' or 'Chris'. She was short, and proud of it, She was also the youngest, Ranking in at 16 compared to her buddies who were 20 and older. She skipped 10-12 grade and was accepted into Mrs. Rookwood's school for the Arts. and She was damn good at what she did, she loved acting, and she could sing An Aria without a thought...but her true love was Painting. She could Paint A portrait so real you'd think the person would get up and walk away...In a little over 15 minutes, She hated flaunting it.
'Sweeney' smiled and pulled her short brown hair out of the messy bun, she had it in. The light shown on the group as they left the theater, The Girl was paler than she was in the stage light. Light-Sapphire eyes glanced at the group as they returned to the Green room, The place the actors waited to go on stage.
"That Concludes Tryouts for 'The Demon Barber of Fleet Street.; The cast is set, congrats to those who made it. Better luck next time to those who didn't." The Director smiled "But on a lighter note guess what the cast is going to London for A week! To learn about your characters and the legends of Fleet Street...And Chris we need your guardians to sign this form stating you can go to London." The director smiled and as the group of three passed by 'Sweeney' was handed the papers.
"Poor Sweeney, So young, How you gonna get your parents to sign it?" A tall boy with Red hair said.
"I'm not...I'll have my grandpa sign it...He's pro-letting me visit" she smiled, She waved frantically at the group as she split from the three she wandered towards a black car that was waiting for her at the gate, she smiled and got in to the car.
"Hey Devil!" She laughed as she greeted her brother, who had came to pick her up from her department.
"Hey Demon." He replied and turned on the radio, you see her and her brother, though as different as they were, they were inseparable, They even went to the same school, He was A level lower than her in Drama.
Chris had originally majored in to painting, until she got in a fight with A girl named Jamie, who lied about stuff she shouldn't have, and well Chris sorta lost it. Luckily the Headmaster was in love with her talent, and instead of expelling her Like he did to the Jamie Girl, Who already had caused multiple problems, He moved Chris to The Drama Department To make sure Jamie's little buddies didn't try and fight with her and to keep Chris in line.
" Swing your Razor high Sweeney,
Raise it to the sky,
Freely flows the blood of those who moralize!" Chris sang to the CD she just popped in.
"So Did you get the part?" Her brother asked.
"yeah, I'm the creepy narrator." She smiled, "Hey, Devil...can I barrow a few thousand Bucks?" She hopefully asked Even though she was in a higher level her brother, He was already A well know Actor, for his voice and such.
"What!" he stammered and slammed on the brakes.
"I need about 8 grand." She said calmly as the car started to move again.
"Why?!" He asked in a laugh.
"You can't tell mum or dad," she said, you see her family was very Con-Letting her go to A different country, and would never sign the papers.
"Alright..." He said in a laugh and glanced over to her.
"My class is going to Fleet Street for a week and I'll stay with Grandpa and Grandma while we're there...Please let me have the money!" she pleaded.
The Brother Looked unsure but he knew she was going one way or another…He preferred she go the legal way.
"Your paying me back. When do you need it...And I'm only giving you enough for the plane ticket." He asked as they gradually got to the large house they called home, She Didn't like to call it home but she did anyway.
"Tomorrow, We're leavening Sunday." She smiled fighting the urge to Attack her brother with affection.
"Alright." He smiled it was quite until the voice of Mrs. Lovett broke the air.
"Wait Whatcha rush Whatcha hurry." Sang Mrs. Lovett and Chris leapt, Her brother laughed a bit.
"She scare yah?" He asked and she shoved him lightly as they pulled to a stop, they got out of the car and Chris Ran though the opened door and slung her bag on the couch of the study she just entered. She immediately flopped on her fathers desk chair and logged on to her messengers, Luckily her Uncle who was staying with her grandparents was on so she sent him a message.

Chris fled to her room up stairs, She noticed a check on her desk and read it… it was in her teachers name and it held the amount she needed. So she slipped the check and the Signed form into her binder, which she slipped into her bag. She then decided to pack so she could hide it in Her buddy's car tomorrow when she got to school, so she'd have it for Sunday.
