Sweeney vs Nellie

Chapter 1: Sweeney and Lovett dance

It's been four years since Benjamin Barker returned from fifteen years of hard labor in Australia. Going by the name Sweeney Todd now he and Nellie Lovett work working together until he finally killed the judge that sent him there and raped his wife, and too his daughter. He had a meltdown the first time the judge escaped and they both came up with the idea. Sweeney would kill the men who came to his barber shop, and she would cook them into pies to serve to the customers. Four years had passed since then and the Judge had yet to come.

Mrs Lovett was busy getting pies out of the oven when it happened. The hatch above the bake house opened and the beggar woman's corpse fell to the floor. Lovett stared at her body shocked. The beggar was Lucy Barker, Benjamin's wife. Lovett had allowed mr Todd to believe she had died when she poisoned herself after her rape. She had to get rid of the body before Sweeney found out or she might lose him.

Luckily the constant moving the corpses of grown men and getting them onto tables to cut them up helped her upper body gain some muscle. Her arms were still thin, but her arms had become quite toned and now had visible biceps when she moved her arms. Her legs were already toned and strong. so the newfound upper body strength would make disposing of this corpse easy. Unfortunately another corpse came crashing down. She recognised it as the honorable judge Turpin.

Before she could grab Lucy's corpse, she felt a hand grab her ankle. She screamed and hit the judge with a brutal kick to the head and he stopped moving. Sighing, she lifted Lucy into her arms and headed toward the oven. Just as she was about to throw her in the door to the bakehouse burst open. She turned to see the Demon Barber covered in blood. "I heard you scream," he told her.

"The judge was still moving," she said. "He's dead now." But the barber wasn't listening to her as his gaze fell on the blonde hair on the corpse of the beggar Lovett was holding. "Lucy" he breathed. Lovett gasped and dropped the woman's corpse. He marched over to Lovett, glaring at her. "You said she was dead," he spat at her.

"I said she took the poison" she sputtered. "I never said she died." She explained everything to him trying to convince him she only did it for him. She wasn't lying per say, but she did kind of want him for herself. He seemed to have believed her claims of pure selflessness as he had forgiven her. They grabbed onto each other and they danced.

She felt so happy that she finally had him as she hoped. They danced away from the oven and spun in an ark. As they began to return to the oven, she saw something change in Todd's dimenor. She saw a dark glare in his eyes, similar to the look he would get when thinking about the judge. He was going to throw her into the oven. No, she would not be another victim of this man.

If he was going to kill her, she was going to make him fight for it. As much as she had loved him, the fact he would do this made her begin to feel anger towards this man. Sweeney was going to kill her. She let me think Lucy was dead, so she could have him for herself, she even called her a thing. It's time for you to burn, bitch. Even if she realizes what I'm doing I'll still throw her in, it's not like she can overpower me.

As he was about to throw her in she let go of him with her dominant hand and slapped him hard about the face snapping his head back. He had been slapped by her before and it hurt. She was never a physically weak woman, but this was different. It didn't just sting, he felt a searing pain spread through his face like she burned his face. Before he could recover, she slammed herself into him, sending the barber crashing to the floor. She moved to run from him but he grabbed her ankle sending the baker to the floor.

He didn't know where this strength came from, but he wouldn't let her escape her fate. He grabbed her and yanked her to her feet. She elbowed him hard in the gut and he doubled over in pain. He rushed after her and tackled her to the ground before she got to the stairs. He spun her around and pinned her down by the neck pressed by his arm. "You won't escape me pet" he snarled at her.

"Why Mr Todd" She cried? "You let me think my wife was dead," he growled. "I just wanted to protect you," she pleaded. "I would have been upset, yes," he told her. "But that was not your right to decide that I shouldn't know about my wife." "I would have been twice the wife she was," she claimed.

"You think so," he told her. "That's all I needed to know that it wasn't solely to protect me, Lovett. "You saw an opportunity to have me to yourself and took it, didn't you" he asked rhetorically? "Please Sweeney" she pleaded, "don't kill me, not after all I have done for you." She could see the flame light in his eyes at this. "If it wasn't for you I would have known who she was, but no, you hid her from me and I killed her with my own blade. And it wouldn't have happened if I had known.

"Please, Sweeney don't do this please, I would be twice the wife she was please." "YOU WILL NEVER BE CLOSE TO THE WIFE MY LUCY WAS! YOU ARE WORTHLESS YOU HERE ME! MY LUCY, MY ANGEL WAS EVERYTHING TO ME! I WILL SEND YOU TO HELL MYSELF!" Lovett felt like her heart was ripped out of her chest.

How dare he say that she will never be close to his wife, and how dare he call her worthless. As far as she was concerned Lucy was the one who was useless. "I took care of you and she poisoned herself instead of waiting for you like I did" she snarled. She was the useless one, she deserved her fate for her choice, and she Deserved how she ended." "SHE HAD ME RIPPED AWAY FROM HER, WAS RAPED THE JUDGE AND WAS DRIVEN TO SUICIDE! IT'S ONLY LUCK I EVEN RETURNED WENCH!

He plugged his hand to his belt and unholstered his right razor and went to slam its blade into her throat. Her dominant arm she up and grabbed his dominant arm to stop him. Some of his strength he had gained from 15 years of hard labor may have waned over the four years but he still put some effort into keeping his strength and was still in good shape. Like Lovett his body was narrow but his chest was muscular and his muscles were still solid, and his biceps could still flex into solid muscle. Both he and Lovett were fit and strong as well as smart and strong willed. They both didn't realize that they began a war for dominance tonight.

They glared at each other determined to win this fight. His arm was in the middle of them, both of their arms quivering. "You will die tonight Lovett" he promised her. "No Todd" she said, "you will die." She pushed up against him, and by grabbing his shoulder with her free arm, managed to slam Sweeney to the floor, pinning him down.

"Looks like I'm on top," she said. He grabbed onto her and rolled her on her back. "I'm the dominant one in this relationship, not you" He said. For the next several minutes they rolled on the floor struggling to put the other in their place. They heard a knock on the bake house door. "Mum" they heard Toby call "Are you down there?"

Before Sweeney could stop her she answered him. "Now Mr T" Lovett said darkly "I will yell to Toby to get the police if you don't let me go." Sweney growled and got off of her. "I'll make a deal with you sir," she told him "Continue to kill customers and I'll continue to make the pies and give you a place to live." "You insane bitch" he swore at her. "I'll yell to Toby and he'll get to the police before you stop him."

He sighed and agreed. They glared at each other full of hate. "Oh and Mr T" she told him. He simply glared at her. "I'm better than you are, and I'm the dominant one, it was never you. "Who had who pinned in the end" he told her.

"Who outsmarted who" she asked him?

Sweeney returned to his shop and laid in his chair. He couldn't believe she thought she was the dominant one. If she thinks intellect makes her the dominant one he would prove himself smarter than her.

Lovett dressed in her nightgown and laid in her bed. She couldn't believe he thought he was the dominant one. If he thinks strength makes him the dominant one she would prove stronger than him.

Note: and here's chapter one. So they begin to struggle for dominance now. After watching the movie I feel they both sort of dominated the other in different ways. Her mentally, and him physically. Sweeney will win some battles but there will be some girl power too so don't worry, I'll keep suspense by having the take turns.
