Hello, this popped into my head from watching Sweeney Todd, so yeah, there will be slight Sweeney Todd parts... see if you can spot them! LOL, most likely my Own Character will end up singing half the songs... yeah... My character is sort of basically a female Sweeney Todd... heh.
Anyway here's my story and I hope you like it...
Neighbours Make A Lot Of Noise.
London, I was back in London. I stepped off the train, I looked around glaring slightly. The load of people pushing and shoving their way on and off the trains. I pushed my way towards a public toilet to clear my head a little from the amount of people. Toilets were one of the least crowded places you could find. I leaned over the sinks staring into the mirror. I looked up at my reflection, sighing I fixed my fringe. I used to have dark brown hair that I would tie back. Now though, I had black hair with layers that was straight and went down to my elbows. It used to be short too, I had no fringe and now I had a full fringe and I had gotten blue streaks through it. If it wasn't very light in the room I would have sworn my eyes also looked black. But they're brown, I know they are.
I sighed running the cold tap and splashing my face. While drying it I tried to think of where to go. I knew I had money in a bank account. It's if it's still there that's the problem. I noticed one of my boots buckles had come out and bent down to fix it. They weren't holding the boot to my foot the buckles were just decorative. They were a dark blue almost black, then I had leggings and shorts with a black t-shirt. With a dark blue leather jacket on top. I glanced down at my purple bag as someone walked in to one of the cubicles. I watched her then grabbed my bag leaving quickly heading to the closest bank I could find to try and get some money...
~Flashback~
A woman with brown hair tied back, a slight tan, brown eyes and wearing a yellow and white summer dress ran from a man with blonde hair, green eyes and really tanned. He was wearing jeans and a white shirt. They ran up to an older woman with light brown hair and holding a small blonde baby. The baby had a dress on confirming it was a girl. The man had fell and was swearing as he got up.
"Mum run into the house, hide now. Give me my child!" The woman snapped almost grabbing the baby out her arms. The older woman was confused but did as told. The woman holding the baby now backed away from the man. He pulled out a gun smirking and shot the older woman down just before she got to the house. The woman was too shocked to scream she just stared letting tears flow down her face.
"Darling, come here, I wont harm you." The man said grinning. "Let me see our dear girl Anna."
"I'm not going near you, never again! Get away from me! You just killed my mother!" The woman screamed at him crying, the baby was crying in the background as she tried to calm the baby in between yelling at the man. He managed to get close to her while she was trying to calm the baby. He grabbed the child from her arms. She stared crying as he smiled at the baby bouncing it in his arms.
"Don't you harm her!" She snapped. He sat the child on a small chair nearby.
"Wouldn't dream of harming something like her... yet." He smirked walking up to her again. She fearfully took a few steps away. "Hold this for a second would you?" He asked handing her the gun. Confusedly she took it and threw it away. He just smirked shaking his head. He pulled out a knife and put it in her hands, then stabbed himself...
Just as police started running into the garden. She gaped at him watching as he fell to the floor pretending that she was responsible for all that happened. She turned to the baby to find it already on the floor dead having been shot. The police asked the man on the floor what happened.
"Ruby, my wife, I cant believe you did this!" The man shouted.
"WHAT?" The woman screamed tears still running down her face. "You! You did this! You monster!"
~End Flashback~
I blinked as I took walked along a street. Coming back to reality I kept my face blank. That was the past now, he framed me, yes. My child is dead. He doesn't even know I am out. I am not the same as I was. I try to keep my emotions to myself. If I ever see him again, I was going to kill him, no hesitation. I like to call myself, Evalyn, Evalyn Kali Barker. I entered a small café and sat down staring at the table. I sat for a while just thinking Eventually a little old lady came over.
"Excuse me dearie? Sorry, but I'm closing up the shop now." She said, I could tell she was trying to be nice. I turned and looked outside.
"Great, Hotel for now then." I sighed.
"Hotel? Are you on holiday?" The woman smiled. I just stared at her not showing a thing on my face.
"No, I used to live in London, about 15 years ago. Looking for a house now." I told her. Well, no harm as long as I don't have to tell her what I did during those 15 years.
"Oh, I have a room downstairs if you want?" She smiled.
"Oh? Would you mind if I took a look at it?" I asked trying to smile but nothing happening.
"Not at all, not very many people have even looked at it. So if you don't like it you can tell me." The woman said leading me through into her home. I froze at the TV that was on. It was showing a report of the fact I had escaped from the prison. Only it showed the person I used to be. Ruby. It showed Ruby, she's dead. I am not Ruby Culici any longer. That's said Coo-lee-chee many people cant tell.
"Just through here dearie." The woman called drawing my attention away from the screen with Ruby on it. I turned and walked through a corridor until I met her at a door with 221C on it. She gently pushed the door open and I walked in after her. There was a fireplace that wasn't on and the whole room screamed 'haven't been used in years' at me. I nearly smirked at that. Nearly.
"I'll take it Mrs...?" I paused realizing I didn't know the person's name.
"Oh! Mrs. Hudson, now, are you sure? Rent every Friday." She said leading me back out she gave me the key and I gave the first rental payment because it was after all a Friday.
"Mrs. Hudson!" Came a shout from up the steps. I pause looking up at a brown door with 221B on it. "Cup of tea!" The shout came again, Male.
"Not your house keeper!" Mrs. Hudson shouted but made her way up anyway. I wondered if I should bother following. It wouldn't matter. I would be in jail again before I get to meet the person. After all I am out for revenge to kill the man that I used to love. Just then a whole bunch of officers working with police barged in and straight up to the flat upstairs.
I'll admit I don't care. But I will also admit I was shocked. I frowned wondering what could possibly be going on. Did they know I was here? I slowly made my way upstairs no emotions showing. Only, I was frowning at everyone. There was my so called neighbour. He was tall with dark curly hair, pale and wearing a suit. He looked bored.
"What's going on?" I asked snapping slightly. Mrs. Hudson was possibly the only one confused by my appearance. Then I noticed another man that wasn't with the police. He had short blonde hair and the way he stood and looked just said Military to me. I didn't know why it just did.
"Who..?" The military man asked.
"She just moved in downstairs love, don't mind her." Mrs. Hudson told them all. I kept my blank look as everyone turned possibly all making up their little ideas of what I'm like already. I faced the two men still frowning slightly.
"I'm John, John Watson, he's Sherlock Holmes." The blonde said offering his hand out to shake. I stared at it a moment before ignoring it and stepping past him to take a look round their flat. He lowered his hand awkwardly. "Um, so..." He began.
"Evalyn Kali Barker." I answered without turning to him looking at the skull. One of the Detective police people turned to me a little annoyed.
"Well, Miss Barker, you'll have to leave this is police matters." He told me. I turned glaring slightly.
"If it's police matters then why are you here? Mrs. Hudson is allowed, so I'll stay and meet my neighbours." I snapped before turning to look at more stuff. I walked past Sherlock? Was it?
"Fine, I'm Detective Inspector Lestrade. Now, Sherlock, we want you to help find this Ruby. Did you see the news? She just escaped." The man said out loud. I stiffened freezing up, turning to them keeping my face blank.
"I seen that downstairs." I muttered. Sherlock was eyeing me from the second I came in, as if he still hadn't made up who I was in his head yet. He finally looked away to Lestrade.
"Not interested." He muttered. "I do the murders, if she starts killing and you have bodies for me to work from then maybe I'll help." Sherlock raised his eyebrows. "You don't have a body she's killed or any better cases do you?"
"We thought you could help us to catch a killer! Before she kills!" Lestrade shouted at him.
"What makes you think she's going to kill!" I couldn't help snap out, glaring at him. I was only just realizing I was being stared and frowned at, when I blinked back to reality, from my daydream to the past.
"She killed her mother, then her own 1 year old child, and tried to kill her husband then denied it all." Lestrade shouted. "She's escaped then maybe she's going to go after the husband to finish him off. Why? Do you think she's innocent? What has she got to do with you anyway? Did you know Ruby... Um... Cul..Culli.." He began trying to say the surname.
"Culici." I finished tensed up. "I... Knew her..." I muttered trying to stop myself just reaching forwards grabbing his gun and killing him to shut him up.
"Really?" Sherlock asked looking like I just said a lie. I gave him a death glare. I blinked and headed to the door my face blank still.
"I'd appreciate it if you left me out of all this." I snapped heading downstairs again. It wasn't long until I heard them all leave. Although I heard a knock on my door soon after that. I was about to open my bag too. Which held a gun and a few knifes.
"Come in." I growled annoyed at being interrupted. I walked over to my window putting my bag on the table in front of it. I stared at all the people walking past.
"You didn't just know her, it's something else." Sherlock's voice reached my ears. "But what?"
"You don't know?" John's voice asked him.
"If I did would I ask?" Sherlock asked back. I noticed my bag still had a small part of it open.
"What I want to know is what we're doing down here. Haven't you deduced her?" John asked, I frowned turning to them. How could they just talk like I wasn't here.
"I am here you know." I said through my teeth, trying to control myself. "What do you mean deduced?"
"He can look at people and know their life story." John sighed.
"But not with you. No, your different. I can hardly tell a thing from you. Bad past?" Sherlock smirked as I gave another death glare to him. "What do you know about Ruby?" I tried not to just kill him there and then. I turned from him anger boiling in me a little.
"Don't say that name to me." I warned snapping slightly.
"Why?" Sherlock pressed. I tried to control myself even more as he tried to get more information. My hand twitched trying to grab a knife and just kill him then and there. I turned trying to stop the anger, but I think I showed enough because the two men took a step back. Of course, if it was me instead of Ruby back then I would have just let him blame me. I would have stabbed him again. Finished him off then I wouldn't have this problem. I quickly walked to the door.
"Don't follow me." I snapped. I glanced down at the knife I had taken with me.
Well, that's the first chapter I hope you liked it. I hope the Sherlock part wasn't too out of place you know? Please do tell... Sherlock cant tell a thing because she trys to not show emotion. Please leave a review behind i'd love to know if you all love this or hate it! 8D
So, Sherlock's new neighbour has run off with a knife. I wonder what will happen... XD
