Hauntings of the Past
Prologue: "I'll never leave!"
I DO NOT OWN SWEENEY TODD !!
Nellie Lovett danced around the bake house with her secret lover, Sweeney Todd. She was overjoyed that he had forgiven her for her lie. But, then again, she never had said that Lucy Barker had died. Only that she took a poison. She, she just hadn't told him the whole truth. But, he seemed to understand, and for that, she was eternally grateful. Now she could have the seaside life she had always dreamed of! And with Mister Todd, no less!
When he pushed her into the oven, she was hit with a wave of emotions along with the burning pain. "I WILL NEVER LEAVE! AS LONG AS YOU ARE HERE, I WILL BE TOO!" she shouted hatefully. She continued to scream, hoping that someone would hear and become suspicious.
Sweeney Todd quickly closed the oven door, not wanting to hear the screams any longer. Usually, when he killed, it was swift and silent. Not loud, like this. Her words chilled his bones, but he quickly shrugged them off. He didn't believe in the whole spirit thing. She couldn't "haunt" him. It just wasn't possible. If it was, then why wasn't his Lucy with him, now. Realizing she was, he turned to cradle her light body in his arms. "There was a barber and his wife. And she was beautiful!" he sang.
A metallic bang filled the room, but Todd took no notice of it. He was too involved with his emotions to even care. A small figure emerged from a sewer, and made his was over to the melancholic barber. Toby picked up one of Todd's "friends" and silently made his way over. He had taken Mrs. Lovett's life, and now he would pay. Toby quickly slit Todd's throat, and walked up the stairs, leaving him to bleed over his dead wife.
Toby looked over his shoulder once, and shut the door, not ever wanting to set foot down there again. A door upstairs opened, and he quickly ran for a hiding place as two girls walked into the old shop.
