Chapter 1: Illness?
Sweeney held his neck and fell to the floor screaming in pain, the wound felt like if it was burning, he started to shake and kept screaming. He closed his eyes tight trying to make the pain go away but it started to become worst and worst, he felt his life slipping away he was sure he was going to die of pain…it wasn't of use screaming anymore…but he couldn't stop.
Down stairs was dead asleep, for the first time Sweeney wasn't pacing, she was submerged in peaceful dreams about Sweeney and her, in a house by the sea. But then her dream was interrupted by a scream, she woke up and ran upstairs as fast as she could. She opened the door and gasped.
"Mr. Todd! Please answer me…please!" she said loudly shaking him trying to pick him up, Sweeney was limp and hardly breathing, she quickly placed him on the bed and placed her hand on his forehead to feel if he had fever, but he was cold as ice, he started moaning in pain and groaning grabbing the bed sheets in a fist then screaming in pain again.
"Oh my dear God…" said covering her mouth when she saw two deep marks on his neck, she quickly got up and went to look for a doctor.
Ten minutes later was back with the doctor, practically dragging him upstairs, Sweeney was still screaming, the doctor opened the door quickly and stepped inside as fast as he could to check on him.
After a few minutes the doctor looked quite confused.
"What's the matter doctor?" Asked quiet worried, the doctor looked up
"He has the look of a dead man…he is ice cold…he is paler than the usual…his heart beats weakly and he is hardly breathing…at this point he would have to be dead…but he is not…maybe is just matter of time Miss…I'm sorry…" the doctor picked up his bag and walked out.
Matter of time…those words kept repeating inside Mrs. Lovett's head… he was going to die… the love of her life was going to die… she took his hand and waited for his end to come.
She placed her head on his chest listening to his heart beating…it was becoming slower…and slower…almost vanishing…and then…when she thought everything was over, his heart stopped…and he opened his eyes.
