"There's a hole in the world like a great black pit
And it's filled with people who are filled with shit
And the vermin of the world inhabit it.
But not for long..."

Edward stood behind an empty chair, singing to himself. He couldn't bring himself to go the shooting of the video. He couldn't bring himself to see her, to put his entire plan danger.

" They all deserve to die.
Tell you why, Mrs. Lovett, tell you why.
Because in all of the whole human race
Mrs Lovett, there are two kinds of men and only two
There's the one they put in his proper place
And the one with his foot in the other one's face
Look at me, Mrs Lovett, look at you."

He prowled around the empty room, singing to the empty space. In his right hand he held an invisible razor. He stroked it with his index finger. Edward was consumed by the music, even though there were none playing. He was consumed by the music of his voice, the orcastra in his mind.

"Well, This is new..." a petite voice said from the door way. "I could hear you from the car." Edward smiled a devilish smile.

"Come, Alice. Come be my Mrs. Lovett. Come bake the men I kill into meat pies and sell them to the people of London." Alice sighed, smiling slightly to Edward silly antics.

" Okay then, Mr. Todd." Alice breathed out. "Don't think you can mask your troubles with show tunes, Sweeney." Edward let out a laugh like chimes in the wind.

"Of course I can, Mrs. Lovett."

Edward pinned Alice to the wall, his invisible razor to her pale, cold throat.

"Now we all deserve to die
Tell you why, Mrs. Lovett, tell you why.
Because the lives of the wicked should be made brief
For the rest of us death will be a relief
We all deserve to die."

Edward slowly backed up, a torn and heartbroken expression crossing his face.

"And I'll never see Johanna
No I'll never hold my girl to me..."

"Finished!" Edward yelled, stabbing the sky with his razor. Alice laughed out a bell like laugh, and clapping her tiny hands together.

"Bravo, Mr.Todd! Bravo!" She laughed, clapping loudly. " If I had a rose or two, I would have throw them at you."

"Thank you, Alice." Edward smiled. But the smile didn't reach his eyes.

"You seriously need to go the that video shoot, Edward. You can't hide from her forever. I know." Alice said, tapping her forehead.

"I'm not hiding from her, I'm doing this for her own good. I'm a monster. I'm not good for her..." Edward whispered, his head hanging low.

"That's bull shit, Edward!" Alice yelled. Edward's head snapped up, obvisously surprised Alice would use such vulgar language. She took a deep breath, then smiled warmly at Edward. "Edward, staying away from her isn't doing her any good. She's just falling deep into depression, attempting to distract herself from what's tearing her apart inside, just like you."

Edward paced around in a circle, running a hand through his copper hair. "I'll think about it." He said quietly to Alice.

'I hope you choose the right choice.' Alice thought. Edward nodded, and Alice left the attic of their mansion silently. Edward fell into the chair that sat in the middle of the empty room.

'The right choice...'
