A/N: Almost every fanfic here is about Benjamin and Mrs. Lovett, or Mrs. Lovett and Sweeney. Well, I think Lucy deserves a little love too...even if she's been glorified enough in the movie version (I like the Lucy in the play better than in the movie, to be honest). Anyway, this basically takes place before Benjamin gets arrested until he kills Lucy. I know the chapters are really short, but I hope you enjoy this fanfic anyway. Oh yeah, by the way, I don't own Sweeney Todd. I'm kind of supposed to say that even though you guys already know it.
Salvation
Chapter One
He had it coming. He knew he had it coming.
The Judge had been gandering his wife for ages now; he was bound to be the next victim. Years ago he had ridded himself of Alfred Robinson, the storekeeper from Hartford Avenue, in order to get to Janet, his beautiful wife. Poor thing—and she was with child, too! That evil Judge...a heartless creature he was! A shame to all mankind!
With Janet Robinson dead and gone and the Judge's eyes set on his delicate Lucy, Benjamin Barker knew he had it coming. Benjamin Barker, the barber from Fleet Street, was next to be exiled. And being exiled was just as good as being dead—a visitor whom he never once learned to welcome. He knew he was going to have to though, for it will only be a matter of time before the Judge decides to take care of him.
