I barely nudged after she had flew backwards. I don't know what was going on in her head but I saw her kick the ground hard enough to fly backwards....I swear I could barely see someone there but nobody could possibly be there. I glanced over at a few others and I saw the girl who was with the Beggar run over to her and push the hair from her face.
"Wake up." she whispered calmly. Then it hit me finally. The look in Mrs Lovett's eyes yelled with hope that I wouldn't. I walked over to the two ladies. I knew it this whole time but I strangely hoped I wouldn't figure it out.
"Lucy."

I helped set the beggar lad, er, Lucy I believe onto a small bed. "Thank you." It was hard for the man...Mr Todd to say. I was still learning each name and apparently the other woman is named Mrs Lovett. I just laughed at myself for being around strangers for this long. "Okay now run along." My face brightened up.
"Oh yeah! Anthony lets go!" I said.
"Oh, the cab still waiting!" He closed his eyes angered at himself for keeping it waiting for so long.
"Wait, so you are Johanna!?" Mr Todd said startled. I nodded my head. He then gave me the widest of eyes...wider then when the Judge looked at me. I shivered at the thought. He then turned around sharply and gave Mrs Lovett a harsh look.
"Anthony, I'll get you a new cab. Could you and Johanna stay here with her." He said pointing to..Lucy. Anthony nodded hesitantly. "Mrs Lovett, could you help me in the bake house I have something I need to get out of the way." She smiled and they left. I sat next to Lucy and Anthony made himself at home easily. I studied the features in Lucy's face. She really was pretty...she just needed some improvements..oh what do I know? She opened her eyes slowly.
"Johanna?" She said. I turned my head not knowing she knew my name. "How are you?"
"Fine, thank you." I whispered politely.
"You are so beautiful." She sighed. "Give mommy a hug." That's when my eyes flew open.
"Excuse me?"
"Well, come on you've been gone so long!" She said rising. I walked backwards slowly.
"I've been no where but my room." I said a little loudly. Anthony let off a snore and I rolled my eyes.
"Come on, don't be silly! Mommy just wants a hug."

(warning, if u like Mrs Lovett your going to be highly disappointed in this little section)
When we entered the bakehouse I saw the Beadle also dead. "Oh, that was me." Mrs Lovett laughed as she ran to open the oven.
I rolled my eyes then said "So, we do 'ave quite the unexpected guest. Johanna's here." I cheered leading to something.
"Yeah. It's amazing." Mrs Lovett replied then walked back.
"What surprised me the most was that lady...what was her name?" I said crossing my arms with one hand to my chin.
"Err..Susanne." She said over-excitedly.
"No..It started with an L I'm sure..." I think she finally caught on.
"Mr T please." She closed her eyes scared.
"Oh right, Lucy." I sneered.
"Mr Todd! Look what she's become, I was trying to protect you!" She said quickly.
"Oh Mrs Lovett..your so sweet." I took her arms and spun her along with me. She smiled with relief. "So kind, I can hardly stand it! Your right...she's become something totally different!"
"Does this mean we can be together!? Does this mean we can be married!?" She sounded excited.
"Yes! Till death do us part!" I then lifted her with all my strength and she flew into the open oven. She screamed loudly at the pain. I watched as her cool pale skin turned black and chipped away. Her hair grew shorter and I could barely see the rest of her as I shut the oven door. I walked away feeling guilt rumble through my stomach but a bit of pride.

"Oh poor dear, you look pale-come here mommy will make you feel better." I backed up against the wall. "Dear, what is wrong. It's okay I'll get daddy."
"Your not my mommy." I shook my head. "You are not my mommy." I whispered still shaking my head.
"Dear!? Benjamin!" she called.
"Your not my Mother! She's Dead! My mothers dead!" I cried loudly. She came for me holding out my arms but I pushed her away "She's DEAD!" I screamed angrily then ran for it, I then knocked into Mr Todd. I stopped and held my face in his chest. "She's dead...my mothers dead." I cried slowly.
"It's okay." He said regaining his stance. He pulled my hair back to it's place slowly. "Daddies here."
