I saw the embarrassment in his face, when I giggled and kissed him lightly on the lips and said quietly:,, Well I could give us a shot.''

He was confused:,, But you're getting married.''

,,Well if it won't work out, you could be my safety ring.'' I quietly said, looking in his eyes.

,, Well I'll be happy to help you then. And you'll be welcomed.'' He smiled and turned to leave.

,, Goodnight.'' He smiled.

,, Goodnight.'' I nodded.

I quietly went upstairs and opened the door. To my surprise I saw Sweeney sitting in his chair and looking mad about something.

,, Hey, I'm back.'' I quietly said putting my coat on the hanger.

He mumbled something under his breath and looked out the window. I frowned and slowly approached him.

,, What's wrong? You seem a bit mad.'' I wrapped my arms around his waist and rested my head on his shoulder.

,, I think you know why I'm mad.'' He growled and shook me off of him.

I sighed as I sat on the chest:,, I'm sorry, but I don't know, what are you talking about.'' I raised an eyebrow.

He gave me a deathly glare and turned completely around, slowly reaching for his razor. He looked like a mad man. He pinned me to the wall and pressed the razor to my throat, which I could feel the blade trying to dig in my skin.

,, I saw you kissing him. I didn't know, that you're a whore now.''

I felt a wave of anger flowing through me:,, I'm not a whore! How dare you say something like that?''

He just looked at me like I was crazy and blankly said:,, Well you certainly act like one.''

He released me and mumbled something under his breath.

,, What was that?'' I asked.

,, Out…'' He said in a whisper.

,, What?'' I raised an eyebrow.

,, Out I say!'' He yelled at me.

I jumped and exited the shop forgetting my coat. I slammed the door closed and went downstairs crying a little. I tried to open the pie shop's door, but it was locked. And the spare key was in my coat. I sat under the stairs, curled up in a ball and waited for the sun to rise. I thought that I would freeze here to death, but I was stone cold myself.

I remembered about the key to my new bakery/ apartment. I took off my shoe and sighed in relief. The key was still there. I kept it in my shoe in case I forget my coat, which now was gone. I brushed away some tears and went to the address. I went up the stairs and unlocked the door. I went inside and I was greeted by the warm room. At the corner there was an old bed, but it was enough to keep me warm for the night. I curled up in the covers and remembered Sweeney's face, when he yelled at me to scram. I felt few tears rolling my cheeks. I closed my eyes and tried to make the morning come faster. It was no use. The hours went by so slowly, that it felt like an eternity.

Well it finally came, but I was too weak to get up. I tried to get up, but I felt pain in my body as I moved. I was desperately thirsty. I tried to get back to Fleet Street and get some blood from my cabinet. Mrs. Lovett was in shock, when she saw my appearance.

,, Martha? What happened to you? You look awful.'' She helped me sit down and gave me the blood bottle.

I drained it in seconds. I think I needed about two or three bottles, to gain my strength back. I took a warm bath and felt much better. I felt a painful fire burning holes in my chest as I ran into Sweeney, who was looking as same as he did, when he first arrived here.

I avoided eye contact with him, when he pinned me to the wall and through his teeth growled:,, I want you and your things out of my sight tonight, forever. Got it?''

I weakly nodded and he smirked as he saw me in such pain. ,, Don't worry, you at least have your little friend.''

And with that he left the shop, slamming the door.

I decided to make him suffer this time and took the cure bottle with me. I packed up everything and left him a note for a hint that I'll be going to a better place, where I will be happy and free from his threats. And by that I meant suicide. I had a plan during the night. I was going to cure myself and then slowly kill myself after saying goodbye to David and Ann. They were to only ones I trusted here. Harry, not so much. I don't know why, but something in him made me suspicious. I walked out in the streets and looked at the shop one last time. I saw Sweeney looking out the window as I got in the carriage.

,, I'll be free. I'll feel freedom.'' I whispered.

I went to my new home and started to pack out. I found a calendar with moon phases and gasped. It was going to happen tonight. I sighed and looked at the bottle.

,, Tonight's the night, my friend.'' I put it in a little box and placed it on a shelf.

After I was done packing I went to David's mansion. I knocked on the door and I saw him going for the door from the library.

,, Martha? How nice to see you here. So what brings you here?'' He hugged me.

,, I came to say goodbye, David.'' I sighed.

,, Why?'' He raised an eyebrow.

,, Well I'm moving from London with… Sweeney.'' I forced his name to come out.

,, Oh. Well I'm happy for you and hope you'll be happy.'' He gave me a warm smile.

,, Thank you. Well I'll better be going now. Goodbye.'' I hugged him for the last time.

,, Take care.'' He waved.

I nodded and frowned as I went around the corner. I had a strange feeling, that somebody was following me, but when I turned around the street was empty. I got back home and saw the sun setting. I picked up the bottle and saw it glowing even brighter as the moon raised higher. I opened it and took a sip from it and coughed. It was grossly sour. I hid the bottle back in the box, but I forgot to close the box. I sat there and waited. I felt a strange flow in my veins, but then it stopped completely and started slowly again. The venom was blood again. I felt my power and strength decreasing more and more. I was becoming mortal again. I suddenly gasped, when I felt a chocking in my throat. I forgot that I needed to breathe now. I felt a little pounding in my chest, that grew bigger and bigger, when it reached a familiar strength. I had a beating heart now. I sighed as I picked up a broken glass piece. I looked at the sky again and dragged the broken glass across my arm. I cried in pain, but I liked it. I started to feel a bit dizzy from the blood I lost every minute, when I passed out in my own blood. I did it. I was dead for sure, well I thought so.

I slowly opened my eyes and I was in a white room.

,, Am I finally dead?'' I asked.

,, No, but you shouldn't have done that to yourself.'' I heard a voice in the blurry shadow.

,, Who's there?'' I cramped in the cover and blinked a few time to try clear my vision.

I felt a cold palm stroking my face and kissing my forehead.

,, Get some rest, my pet.'' I realized that it was Sweeney.

I jumped away from him waiting for a wave of anger pouring on me, but there was only comforting.

,, Are you mad at me?'' I asked.

,, Well kind of. You tried to kill yourself using suicide. What were you thinking?'' He took my face in his hands and kissed me carefully, trying not to break me.

,, Well I thought, that if I would kill myself you would suffer like I did last night.'' I blushed and sighed in happiness, when I felt the heat on my face.

,, Don't you mean four days ago?'' He raised an eyebrow.

,, Four days? I was out for four days? Was my condition that bad?'' I looked at him.

,, Well you did loose a lot of blood.'' He sat next to me and took my hand in his.

,, The doctors almost thought, that you were already dead, when we got you to the hospital.'' He weakly smiled.

,, Really? And my mom? Is she okay?'' I was worried about her.

,, She's fine. We sent her back to your time like she asked to.'' He smiled a bit.

,, Oh, well that's a relief.'' I sighed.

He looked me in the eyes and softly said:,, Look, I'm sorry, that I yelled at you. I guess I really am the jealous type. It's just, that I…''

I kissed him pulling him closer. He was frozen at first, but then he pulled me closer to him too.

,, I forgive you. Everything.'' I quietly said.

,, I feel so bad about myself right now.'' He sighed.

,, Then I'll set you free.'' I giggled and kissed him more passionately.

,, Well? Are you feeling any different?'' I smirked.

,, I feel like I'm a new person.'' He smiled at me.

I giggled and Ann came in with Harry looking happy too.

,, Hey there. How are you feeling?'' Ann hugged me.

,, Better, thanks.'' I smiled.

,, Well, I guess we should leave the couple in private, huh, Harry?'' She smirked and poked him with her elbow a little.

And with that they left us alone.
