Disclaimer: I don't like Lucy... and I dont own Sweeney Todd
Rest Now Mr Friends... Rest Now...
"Benny! I won't let her steal you!" Lucy cried, clinging to his arm. "You're all mine."
"Yes, my pet, I know." He stared over at Nellie, his eyes full of anger. He wasn't going to forgive her for what she'd done to him; he had almost kissed her after all. He belonged to his Lucy, not to some crazy baker who was in love with him.
And yet...
He felt remorse.
Mrs. Lovett had been there for him since he had started his quest for revenge, and had helped him even though she didn't have to. Lucy hadn't even tried to search for him... or even help him when he had found her. But Nellie was here, helping him, even after he despised her.
As he leaned down towards Lucy's pale lips, he felt his body shake, and he paused uneasily. His love for his wife hadn't left him, but it seemed, as he looked over at Nellie Lovett's thin form, it was surely shared with someone else now.
--
He couldn't believe himself. He was actually imagining himself, tugging at Mrs. Lovett's pale form, bringing her closer to him... and his lips intaking every inch of her-
No, he couldn't! He had his Lucy, alive and well now. Yet she didn't fill his needs when he kissed her... not like she had so long ago. The Lucy he had married was as dead as the Benjamin she kept calling out to, and he knew that all too well.
"Damn it." He mumbled, wiping a droplet of sweat from his brow.
He knew he shouldn't have said it, because now Lucy was staring at him, her bright eyes shining with tears. Her face was taken aback from the fact that he hadn't kissed her this time. Mrs. Lovett was also staring at him now, her eyes wide.
"Sweeney, weren' you gonna' kiss yeh wifey?" She asked uneasily.
He looked for words to speak back, but all that came out were slight mumbles. His mouth kept opening and closing... but that was all the two had gotten for a reponse.
"Benny-" Lucy whispered, tugging his head down towards her. "Benny Barker."
Sweeney mumbled something to low for her to hear, and she tugged him closer.
"What Benny?"
"Benjamin Barker is dead!" He yelled, pulling out of her grip. "He died a long time ago."
Lucy stepped away from him, her eyes widened from fear. "'ho are you?"
He stared down at her, his face stern and cold. "Sweeney Todd."
"I want me Benny!" Lucy clawed at his arms. "Bring 'im back to mee!"
"'E ISN'T COMING BACK LUCY!" He yelled, spit flying out of his mouth. He gripped the razor at his waist and brought it up closer to him. "He died."
Lucy backed away from him as she caught sight of the silver. "Murderer!"
She took off, heading towards the door to the basement, but Nellie ended up there first. She slammed it shut and blocked Lucy's way out. "I'm sorry love."
"Lemme out! Beadle! Beadle!" She screamed. "Help me!"
Sweeney felt himself shake as he came closer to Lucy.
"HELP ME!" She screamed again.
"Lucy, do you to be with me or not?" He asked, his face inches from hers.
"You're not my Benny..." She whispered. "I want me Benny!"
"So be it." He walked around Lucy, towards Mrs. Lovett, his eyes full of fire. "Nellie."
"Mr. Todd." She stated uneasily. She was afraid that Mr. Todd was finally going to do it, so she braced herself for the impact of the razor across her throat... but it never came.
"Nellie." He pulled an arm around her waist, and tugged her close to his chest. "You're right."
"About wot?" She asked shakily.
"Lucy is dead-" She felt him sob into her hair and she smiled.
"Yes love. She isn't the same ol' wifey yeh married." She looked over at Lucy's trembling form and smiled. "So what shoul' we do with her then, Mr. T?"
Sweeney pulled away from her, a smile across his pale lips. "I know exactly what we can do."
He stared at his Lucy, his heart thumping uneasily, then he took one quick swipe with the razor, quieting her scream before it even escaped her lips.
End Note: Ehhhhh, well Lucy is dead. Or is she? DUN DUN DUNNNNNN!! :3 Review Perlease?
