Remember My face

Chapter 1

People generally believe that insanity is just a step away from sanity. Sweeney Todd had started to actually believe that when he had first returned to London from the prison they had locked him in for a crime he hadn't committed. His actions at the time proved it; they proved that he wasn't sane or at least they proved that he wasn't thinking clearly. The angry outbursts, the killings and baking people into pies were not things a stable human being would do or experience. After he had killed the judge though he had calmed down and his mind was finally in peace. He was finally thinking clearly again and for the first time after fifteen years he had been able to sleep properly.

And then she came and caused mayhem in his mind again. His love for Amelia also brought him guilt, anger and frustration. Guilt because he thought that he was betraying the one woman who mattered in his life by loving another. Anger because he wasn't supposed to feel again; Sweeney Todd was not supposed to fall in love. Love was for the weaker ones and he was sure that he no longer was one. The only thing he was was a cold hearted murderer except when it came to her. He had realized that when the frustration came along with the rest of the feelings he had been experiencing.

Having her, being close to her calmed his mind once again but this time it was different. This time she was there, she was close to him, she was sitting on his bed-on their bed- she was looking at him with those hazel eyes he had come to adore but she didn't know him, she didn't look at him the same way anymore. He watched as her lips parted and she started asking him questions; questions he wasn't able to answer in one sentence even if his mouth hadn't been so dry. So he just shook his head and stood up from the chair, slowly backing away from her. His hands went to his head and he clutched his hair tightly, his mouth agape, his breathing uneven and labored. He staggered backwards until his back hit the wall right next to the door. His eyes closed shut when she saw her eyes gazing worriedly at him.

Amelia tried to sit up but her head complained at the sudden move and she fell back down on her pillow with a soft groan. Her eyes returned to his tense figure and she couldn't help but wonder who was this peculiar man who had been staring at her with such emotion.

Amelia was brought out of her thoughts when she heard the unmistakable sound of glass breaking. She turned her eyes sharply to the side and saw that the man had walked over to the desk and had sent everything that was upon it on the floor with a loud, desperate growl. She flinched when he moved away from the desk and saw him reaching into his pocket. Her eyes widened when she saw the glimmer of a razor and her fist tightened around the covers. For a moment she thought that the razor was for her but the only thing he did was pace up and down while flicking it close and open repeatedly while muttering to himself.

"Sir?" she dared to speak up but the man did not seem to hear her, it was as if he was in a different world. And then she heard it; a baby's cry. Her eyes widened and she looked towards the sound of the cries. She saw the crib at the corner for the first time and she frowned. Who was clueless enough to leave a baby with that man? Or…perhaps the baby was his child? No, it couldn't be for the man didn't even hear the cries; he just kept pacing up and down at a fervent pace.

She had the desire to stand up and got to the little one's aid but she couldn't move. She was too dizzy.

"Sir-…the child is…" she trailed off when she saw the door opening and a middle aged woman entered.

"What is going on in here?! Mr. Todd? What happened?" the woman almost shrieked over the loud crying and the man's mutterings.

"Todd…" Amelia breathed as the name did sounded familiar but she couldn't place it at all.

"Mr. Todd!!" the woman called again loudly as she leaned down and picked up the crying bundle of blankets. The man froze and slowly turned towards the woman. He gazed at her intently before he let out hoarse curse.

"I need air." Was the only thing he said before he walked towards the door, his shoes stepping on the broken glasses on the floor. The woman narrowed her eyes in confusion and finally spotted Amelia.

"Darling! You're finally awake!" the woman cheered as she approached Amelia.

"Um…yes."

"What's the matter, dear? Did you have a fight with Mr. Todd?"

"Um…I do not know Mr. Todd." Amelia answered as her eyes drifted to the now quiet baby in the woman's arms.

"What? What are you talking about, dear? Of course you do. He's your husband." The woman said with a nervous laugh. Amelia blinked.

"He's my what?" she asked in a small voice.

There's no way that man was her husband because she didn't remember getting married. The only thing she recalled was lying alone and bruised in an alley after that…man had hurt her.

"He is your husband, dear. Don't you remember?" the woman asked gently and all Amelia could do was shake her head.

"Oh, dear…Um…I am Beth." The woman said nervously as she rocked the child in her arms.

"Oh, nice to meet you then." Amelia was at a loss of words.

"You really don't recall anything? Not even her?" Beth asked as she pointed towards the child.

Amelia looked at the baby and shook her head.

"No…I- I don't…I-is she mine then?" she asked and the older woman nodded.

"Of course. She's just three months old. She looks just like you. Would you like to-…"

"No! I can't, please. I-I have to think…I don't remember anything! This can't possibly be my child! I can't be married…I…just got here…" Amelia muttered as she held her head.

"Dear, calm down. I'm sure it's just the accident. Everything will come back to you slowly." Beth tried to calm her.

"Accident? What accident?" Amelia asked hoarsely.

"You were hit by a carriage. That's why your head hurts…and that's probably why you can't remember anything." Beth said softly.

"Oh…and are you saying that the man…that man who was here is my-my husband?" Amelia asked in an almost fearful voice.

"Yes. I know he seems a bit…strange to you now but you love him-…"

"I do not. I don't even know him." Amelia cut her off shakily.

"Of course but you used to. I am sure if you spend time with him everything will be like before." Beth said ignorant of the fact that nothing could be like it was before.

Amelia was still sitting on the bed after Beth left and the baby was sleeping peacefully in her crib. She was thinking everything the woman said to her but nothing to her made sense.

If that man was her husband why did he leave like that without explaining everything to her? Why was he so upset? Why did he look so…insane? She gave a deep sigh and rubbed the side of her head, wincing as she did so. She took a look at her surroundings and her eyes scanned the small room in detail. A coat was hanging close to the door and it was certainly a woman's. So it must be hers if everything Beth told her was true.

The door opened softly and she looked up, her eyes locking with Todd's. She swallowed hard and an undignified sound left her throat, causing the guilt in Sweeney's heart even more unbearable. Now she was scared of him as well. As if not remembering who he was, was not enough pain for him. He closed the door without taking his eyes from her face.

"She cleaned the mess I made then?" he spoke in a low hoarse voice and Amelia blinked before she slowly nodded. He was talking about the broken glass and basin.

"Hmm." He murmured as he removed his jacket and glanced at his daughter sleeping peacefully in her warm crib.

"Sir…-I mean, Mr. Todd-…I mean I don't know your first name." she concluded when she saw the wounded look in his eyes.

"Sweeney." He said half heartedly and she nodded a small smile playing on her lips.

"Strange name." she said quietly but his eyes narrowed and the smile left her lips as quickly as it came.

"I…you're my husband then?" she asked and his eyes lit up with hope.

"You- you remember?" he asked as he took a few steps closer.

"No, no, the woman who was here told me and…the ring on my finger has your name carved on it. S. Todd." She finished and his jaw tensed.

"Oh, of course." He murmured as he walked to his chair and sat down. He locked eyes with her again as they both remained silent.

"What is her name?" Amelia broke the silence.

"What?" Sweeney asked confused.

"The baby girl. What is her name?" she asked again and Sweeney swallowed hard before he answered her in a low voice.

"Samantha."

"Beautiful…Did you name her?"

"I did." He answered as he looked at her with longing and regret.

"How-how did I hurt my head?" she changed the subject and the guilt returned with a vengeance.

"I don't think you should tire your mind anymore for tonight." He said, plainly ignoring her question.

"But-…"

"It would be wise if you slept." He continued cutting her off.

"I would like to know-…"

"I said! It's better if you sleep now." He said the last sentence more calmly than his first outburst. Amelia flinched at the sound of his voice and nodded shakily before she lied down and pulled the covers up to her chin, watching as he approached her slowly but surely. He leaned down and folded the covers neatly over her before he reached out and brushed hair away from her forehead. She swore she saw his lips turning upwards for a second but the small smile quickly left his full lips.

I am so sorry, my pet… He thought as he looked down at her with black eyes.

A thin line replaced the brief smile as he moved back and nodded at her.

"Sleep." Was the only thing he said before he moved back and returned to his chair in silence. Amelia could swear that he watched her all the time that she was asleep.
