I wipped around to see a woman in a victoriam dress with wild curly black hair. she seemed curious and happy to see me. I backed away as she came closer.
"my my I havent had a customer in so long."
I backed up till i reached the door and ran out but ran into people that looked so victorian like. They looked depressed and everyhting was colorless like i was in a black and white special. I freaked out and turned to run up the stairs and ran into a man that looked quit scary he had black hair with a streak of white. His whole aura scared me.
I backed away and around him but the railinggave out and I fell.
I jolted up in my bed with a scream. It was all a dream. I felt my head and was covered in sweat. I climbed out of bed and slowly walked to the front of the store and let out a breath when i saw all the candles and boxes and cleaned areas.
I went to the market about an hour later for some fruit. And walked around the shop eating an apple, thinking about what to do with this place. My goal was to make it a pastry shop, but how could i do that?
The phone rang.
"hello Courtness." I said to my friend Courtney.
"hows the moving?" She asked. "why do you sound nervous?"
"oh i just had a weird dream." I said." I was like back in this victorian era and it seemed so real."
"were drinking last night?"
"yeeeees" I said slowly
She laughed
"and yesterday I almost fell and broke my neck and a police off
"well i gotta go." I told her." Trying to figure out why the hell im here."
" 'Lilah, you just need to relax and stop drinking!" she joked." I cant have people calling and saying 'ello govna i was obout to have a spot 'a tea whens i 'appened to notice your American Friend freaking out." she said in a mock- British accent.
I laughed " ok. Miss queen of mean go back to torturing your subjects."
I hung up my phone and gathered my supplies to spread out and tried to find pluggs-ins to organize where Id put them when I get the electricity on.
When I recleaned the counters I noticed the ring on my right ring finger. The ring I found yesterday.
It was pretty, looked sterling silver maybe, I took it off and looked at it better. It was the same as it was yesterday only it had a few nicks in it.
"weird, you were just fine yesterday."
I put it back on and started unpacking.
About an hour later I heard a knock and a very cute guy walked in.
"hello?" He asked.
Of course, hes British I said to myself.
I waved to him. "Hi."
"ah hello there Im Nathan." He kinda looked familiar.
I shook his hand"Delilah, but my friends sometimes call me 'Lilah' and thats fine. " I said."But if you call me 'Deli' I'll beat the crap out of you."
"yes ma am." He said chuckling. " I just heard that someone bought the most Legendary piece of property in London and I just had to see who it was."
"That would be me." I told him " and can you tell me about this 'Demon Barber of Fleet St.?"
"yes if my memory sirves correct this place belonged to a wonderful barber named Benjamin Barker. He had a beautiful wife named Lucy, and baby girl."
I offered him a drink and we sat down. I dint care that I just met him, he was giving me what I wanted, color me curious but I wondered about this place since I bought it.
"There was a man named Judge Turpin, who also saw the beauty in Lucy, so he sent Barker to prison on false charges. Afterwards he continued to badger poor Lucy till she supposably killed her self with arsenic. Leaving the baby to be raised as Judge Turpin's ward. Her name was Johanna.
"Fifteen years later he sails back a changed man calling himself Sweeney Todd. To make a long story short he cooked up a plan with Nellie Lovett the former owner. He kills them upstairs and she cooks them downstairs. But he killed her and was killed himself, however know one knows by whom."
"wow. So thats why theres a trap door upstaires?" I asked
"yes."
He said goodbye and left.
It was getting dark so I got ready for bed thinking of the man from my dream.
"Sweeny Todd." I wispered to myself and walked off to bed.
