Cemetery Drive
A Sweeney Todd Fan Fiction.
This Night, Walk The Dead In A Solitary Style
It had been 15 years since I watched Benjamin disappear in the hands of two officers. It had been 15 years since I'd cry so much. But, in between the years, a little miracle happened that was so unexpected. Though, even with such a life changing thing, I will never forget my dear Benjamin Barker...
After waking up to my one year old baby, Johanna's screaming, I had been pacing in front of a large window. I wept at the thought of my husband. His face was imprinted in my head. The weeping became crying, the crying became mourning, the mourning became grieving. I missed him so much and was so clueless what had happened. What did he do? They didn't even give me a chance to say goodbye. It was so devastating that I believed nothing would ever lift my spirit. Not even the laughter of a baby.
I attempted a smile as I looked down at Johanna. Her toothy grin made my heart grow a centimeter. I picked her up and held her close. She was the rest of my life. I looked out the window once more and there he was. Judge Turpin held a bouquet of flowers up for me. I sighed and whimpered. Why must he torture me so? He looks in my eyes as if he really truly loves me. But, should I believe it?
I was invited to a party. I decided I might as well go, it could give me the chance to ask what happened to Benjamin. I know for sure he's in jail, but not why.
Later that night, I slipped into the only dress I could find. It was a pink one that Benjamin didn't like too much. I always felt so embarrassed to wear it around him. I guess in an odd sense, it's an opportunity to try it out.
Mr Bamford was at the door. I left Johanna in the hands of my landlady, Mrs. Lovett. I curtsied to Bamford as he is pretty powerful next to Turpin. He held out an arm and I regrettably took it. Once we left into the darkness, I felt worried sick. I didn't want to go any further but he tugged on my dead feeling body. I couldn't walk anymore. I tried not to let the feeling of being so miserably solitary get to me...
