After watching Sweeney Todd, I was literally in tears. This has got to be my favorite film…I mean it has Johnny Depp (who is my stud muffin btw) and Helena Bonham Carter, and that cute guy that plays Anthony…
A few drabbles over the course of the final scene.
…
Sweeney's P.o.v
He cradled her broken body in his arms.
I'm a monster.
The last words she ever said echoes in his mind.
Do I know you mister?
He had killed two women today. Mrs. Lovett…
Was a monster too, it's her fault-
No, it's my fault too. My Lucy, beautiful Lucy,
He mumbled the words like a mantra.
My Lucy… he had killed her in desperate need for revenge.
Nellie Lovett would rot in Hell for this…
He felt the hot blade, his friend, pull across his neck.
You'll drip rubies…
His warm blood would suffice for the tears he felt.
The all consuming ache in his chest was too much to bear,
The blood rushed, dyeing precious Lucy's hair a filthy crimson.
I deserved worse.
…
Mrs. Lovett's P.o.v
Sweeney!
Her onyx eyes widened in fear as he shut the oven door behind her. Her dress caught fire and she choked on the heat, the unbearable heat. She screamed at the smell of the dead cooking pies surrounding her and the smell of her own melting flesh. Nellie tuned to look out the small oven window and only saw Sweeney's eyes full of malice. She opened her moth to tell him how much she loved him but a terrified, dying scream came out. All she had ever done was love him. Was that too much?
And with those final thought Mrs. Lovett succumbed to the pain of the fire.
…
Toby's P.o.v
''Hush, and hide!'' Mrs. Lovett hissed as she pushed Toby into a corner. Seconds later Sweeney stormed through the door, murder in his eyes. He listened to the brief exchange between the two. Mrs. Lovett's scream. She had told him to hide, stay hiding. As Sweeney knelled next to the dead figure, Toby rushed over to the oven. Through the window, he saw only flames. He retched, and a cold sweat trickled down his back.
Nothing's gonna harm you, not while I'm around…
She had kept her promise. Kept it to the death. But he wasn't good enough for that.
And because of it he had lost his second mother.
Crazed with grief, Toby picked up the abandoned razor and walked over to Sweeney
Mr. T's been nothing but good to us Toby…
Lies. He would pay for those lies.
Toby slid the razor across Todd's neck, spilling his life's blood. He seemed to accept the pain and lean into the blade. The blood spilled down his neck. Revenge…
Sweeney's once handsome head fell onto his dead wife's breast.
For the second time, Toby's life came to an end. He curled up into a lonely ball, surrounded by the corpses of his family, and cried.

A/N: Still sad about these three characters, but I'm glad I got it off my mind. Now, off to do some History homework. (Wish me luck, my friends, for I may not return alive…)
