Midna: Nahh hahaha XD It's called F*ck You by Archive. It's pretty but vulgar XDD
CaptainSparrow-luv: Why thank you! I do love making Sweeney aggressive. He's so pretty when he's angry :D Thanks, I needed those lyrics!! Hahaha :]
SavageAndWaffles: Why thank you! :P I do love making the chapters where lives are in danger! XDDD
I don't own Sweeney Todd. I own this story though, and I hate to say it, but… I think it's coming close to an end! :( For some reason, I hate it when the story ends. :|
Enjoy! ;)
"I can't believe how angry I could get…" Kerbie mumbled through tired lips. "I've never been that upset in my life."
"Hm." Savannah stared out the window, not seeing anything. She was too tired, too sad… Johanna had even found out Sweeney killed Anthony. When Kerbie had finally come downstairs, arm bleeding like crazy, Ms. Lovett had begun to ask questions, and Kerbie never lied. Johanna ran out of the room and fell onto the couch, crying harder than ever in her entire life. Everything in the world seemed darker after what happened…
"I wish I could take back what I said. Well, some of what I said, at least. I'm still mad as heck at that…that jerk!" Kerbie fiddled with the cloth wrapped around her arm.
"Hm."
"Do you think that monster even ever feels regret? I wouldn't think so."
"Hm."
"Is that your favorite word now, or something?!"
"Hm. Wait, what?" She turned from the window, eyes regrettably falling on her friend's bandaged arm. She had tried to forget everything that happened last night, but every time Kerbie winced from the pain of the cut, it flooded back to her. "I think you said something about monsters under the bed."
"What the heck? Oh, never mind." Kerbie lied back on the pillow and stared at the ceiling. She had never been that upset in her life, not even when her dog died. Anthony had saved her life and her friend's life from a tragic ending, and Sweeney just went along and killed him, anyway. Johanna never even spoke to him, anyway! Strangely, she hated him more than she was afraid of him. If he came in the room, she would leave immediately without a word. Ms. Lovett had to tell them about all of this, because they would try their best to avoid Sweeney. Savannah told Kerbie the night of the…incident…that if she "ever saw that blind, sick, twisted, pathetic excuse for a human," she would break his hands and "cut out his eyes with his own razor!!" Therefore, they decided to stay upstairs whenever possible.
"Hey." Kerbie stood up from the bed. "You hungry?"
"Sure." Savannah gave her a weak smile and led the way as the two headed downstairs for the first time in a little while. Unfortunately, as soon as they got down there, they froze. Sweeney was sitting there in the booth, sipping his glass of gin. Johanna glared at him from her spot in the parlor, looking angry and sad at the same time. Toby sat across from her, sipping his own glass of gin. Ms. Lovett was, of course, making some pies. "'Ello there, loves! Glad to see ya movin' around a bit more!"
They stared at Sweeney, who stared right back. "Oh, yeah, we were…just…" Kerbie grabbed Savannah's arm, making sure she didn't go over there and break his hands, although she would really enjoy it right then as well. "We just…wanted a pie, I guess. We'll share one."
"Of course, dear!" Ms. Lovett grabbed the just-made pie and plopped it onto a plate. She handed it to Kerbie, who had to take her hand off of Savannah to balance it on one hand. Savannah used all her will-power to not run over there and break his nose. He glared at her, and she noticed he was slightly confused. Does he really not know why we hate him now?! They sat down at the other booth and picked cautiously at the pie. Toby walked in the room and washed his glass in the sink, then sat down beside Kerbie. "What happened to your arm? It looks all hurt like."
"I fell." Kerbie used extra emphasis on that word while she thought about what really happened. Sweeney glared from across the room as she continued. "The stairs are so stupid and ignorant, and I fell down them. How horrible."
Sweeney stood up from his place and put his glass in the sink. He then turned to the girls. "Watch it, or I'll have your throat next time."
"Oh, there really will be a next time, won't there?!" Kerbie shot back, standing up and walking towards him. Sweeney mindlessly put his hand on his holster as he grew even angrier. "Blame me, won't you?"
"Yeah! Yes, I will!"
"I bloody told you to get off!"
"I wouldn't even be in there if you hadn't been so selfish!!"
"He was in the way!"
"He didn't do anything to you except save you, you idiot!"
"Please!" Ms. Lovett stood between them before even more violence erupted. "Let's 'ave a nice day today, won't we? You two just calm yerselves and be nice, and maybe we'll go to the park."
"With him? Please kill me." Kerbie mumbled. Sweeney pushed Ms. Lovett aside as he took out his razor. "Why don't I do that for you?" Ms. Lovett grabbed his arm before he could do anything and took his razor right out of his hand. Sweeney's jaw dropped, along with Kerbie's, Savannah's and Toby's. Everything grew still and quiet and Sweeney inhaled softly, trying to keep calm. "Ms. Lovett, give me my damn razor."
"Only if you promise to only open it in your shop." Sweeney nodded, and Ms. Lovett gave it back to him. He closed it and returned it to his holster, and he stomped back to his own shop, slamming the door behind him. Ms. Lovett shook her head as she went back to the counter. "Actually, that sounds rather nice, don't it? How 'bout we all go to the park in a tick, eh?"
"Sure," everyone said at the same time, not seeming to care. Savannah and Kerbie continued nibbling at the pie, wishing they were back home even more than ever.
This one was kinda boring, but I promise the next one will be a lot better! Unfortunately, I'm getting close to the end. :( Well yeah, go me! MUAHAHAHA!! Well thanks for reading, and JUST SO YOU KNOW, then next time I update, I will change the name to "Sweeney Todd the Demon Trio of Fleet Street" so yeah thanks Midna! All the credit for the name goes to her. Find her and say she's cool :D
