Sarah's POV

I worked as Nellie Lovett's assistant for the last 10 years. I was attacked when I was 16, everything was a blur after that. Nellie found me laying in the street she gave me a clean dress and some food. A week later I found out I was with child and 9 months later I gave birth to beautiful baby boy. I wanted to keep him but I was forced to give him to the workhouse by the Beadle. It broke my heart to give up my son, I left a half heart necklace for him and I had the other half. One day will I be reunited with him and we will be happy.

"Sarah will you help me with this?" Nellie was baking her meat pies again, I don't why she makes them, she said herself they were the worst meat pies in london. I helped make the doe. Just as we were working a man walk in, with black raven hair with a white streak in it, he was pale and had dark drown eyes. He was very handsome.

"A costumer! Would you care for a meat pie? Sarah get this poor man a meat pie!" I got a meat pie from the oven and set it down in front of the pale man. He looked at it for awhile then took a bite. I went to the counter and got the bottle of ale. I poured him a glass and set it down, he drank it all in one one sip.

"Deary, its going to take lots more than ale to wash that taste down, come to the back we'll get you some gin."

"What's upstairs?" he asked as he took a sip of the gin. "Up there, I won't go near it," Nellie said as she poured herself a glass, I decided to speak.

"People think its haunted."

He looked at me for awhile,"Why?".

"Well about 15 years ago, something happened up there, something not very nice."

Oh no, I remember Nellie telling me this story...

"There was a barber named Benjermin Barker, he had this wife, Lucy and a daughter named Johanna. She was a pretty little thing, and the was this judge, named Turpin. He wanted her like mad, even sent her flowers everyday but she never came down to greet him. One night the Beadle calls on her all contrite and says that must come to Judge Turpin's house. Once shes there their having ball in masks and she knows no one, but the judge was there but no so contrite. Once she was drunk he had his way with her and everyone stood around and laughed."

"NOOO," he yelled at the top of his lungs, he had tears in his eyes, "would no one have mercy on her?"

"So it is you, Benjermin Barker." Nellie whispered gazing at him.

"Where's Lucy? Where is my wife?" He asked at tears ran down his face. "Arsenic, she poisoned herself and he has your daughter."

He face changed from sadness to rage,"He? Judge Turpin?"

"Adopted her, like his own."

He stood up taking of his jacket looking away from us,"15 years, living on a false charge and sweating in a living hell , 15 years dreaming I might come home to a wife and child."

I walked up to from behind, "Well I can't say the years have been kind to you, ."

"NO! It's Todd now, Sweeney Todd, and he will have his revenge."

"Sarah, stay down here, I'll take upstairs."

Nellie came back athrough the front and sighed, she had a dreamy look on her face. "You look happy." I said as put the next batch of pies in the oven."I am, he has to be the handsome man I ever laid eyes on, I always had a fondness of him I did."

"You knew him?"

"Yes, I worked down here with my dear Albert and Ben came looking for a job."

"Was he anything like he is now?" I asked.

"No, quite the opposite actually, he always had a smile on his face."

I raised my eyebrows in surprise, didn't seem anything like that now. Nellie got a tray and put a plate of some meat and a glass of water on it.

"Do me a favor and take this up to him, Sarah, he looks like he needs it." I nodded.

I climbed the stairs with tray in my hands, I opened the door and saw Sweeney looking out the window. "I brought you some lunch, ."

He turns his head and quick glances me,"Leave it on the table." I walk over to the table and notice a picture of a beautiful blonde women holding a baby. "Is this Lucy and Johanna?" I asked as I glanced at it.

"Yes." he did not move from his spot.

"She's very beautiful."

"Yes, she was." he was still not looking at me.

"I know what its like losing family, I had to give up my son when I was 16."

He turns and looks at me,"Why?"

I stay silent for a moment,"I don't know if you like to hear it.", keeping my head down.

"Yes I would acutely." he walked closer to me and gazed at me as I told him my story," 10 years ago I had the same fate as your wife, I was attacked and miss Lovett found me laying in the street, she took me in and gave me a job. A week later I found out I was pregnet, after I had my son they forced to forced me to give up my son to the workhouse. This necklace I'm wearing is half of what I gave my son, it's to myself know that a part of me is still out there waiting for me.''

"They?" he asked looking confused.

"The Beadle and the Law, they came and pried my son from my arms."

"Did they give you a reason.''

I looked at him,"No. They never did. I'm sorry I'll leave you to eat." I walked up the door when voice stopped me,"I didn't catch you name."

"Sarah."

"Sarah, thank you for your company." he gave me a half smile.

"Your welcome."
