I have decided that curing the remedy of writer's block will result to this! This is NOT a Todd/OC, but more of a parental thing. I'm really trying to develop how this girl's gonna come into the story! I don't even know her name yet! This is so frustrating, but I have to do it. It's calling to me! I hope you enjoy it!

Disclaimer: I want to own Sweeney Todd, but I don't. I'm working on it, though!


Delayed Promises

Dark, dirty, unkempt.

What would you think an Australian prison looks like?

Delilah wished she didn't know.

She was the one of the very few women there, kept alive because of her strength and will to live. Being 16, wouldn't you want to live to? Delilah was not ready to leave her world of comfort, her place of sanctuary, but she was forced. She had been accused of a crime she did not commit, stripped away from everything she had known. There was only one thing on her mind now.

Kill the Judge.

Delilah used to be a pretty girl. Young, happy, lively. What 14 year old wasn't?

Two years.

She had been at this place for two years. This may have seemed like a picnic to you, but I assure you, it wasn't. They worked the women harder than the men, lashing out at them when they didn't perform they're duties correctly. But, when the lights went out, that's when the real torture began. The warden would come in to pick pretty young girl's to bed every week. Delilah had hid herself on those days, trembling behind another body, afraid that they would spot her, that she would be next. Now she no longer trembled. The dirt and the grime had torn her beauty from her, making her look older than she was. And everyday, every minute, she thought of only one thing.

Kill Judge Turpin.

That was the only thing she lived for. But who knew when she would get out?

It wasn't until she met Benjamin Barker that she thought she had an chance in getting to the outside world.


I tried to make this as gloomy and despairingly hopeless as I could, but I'm just not a dreary person! Ooooohhhhh, cliffhanger! Well, not really. I hope you enjoyed this segment of my new story!
