Tim Burton and Stephen Sondheim own Sweeney Todd. I own my own people.
A/N
Wow, almost... Whats it been, 7 Months since I updated? I apologize,
I really do. Actually, if you want the truth, I just got out of Rehab
a week ago on Wednesday. I was an inpatient rehab since November, and
I'm now clean and on the straight and narrow going on 126 days but
who's counting? Anyway, I hope this make the wait worth it.
WARNING:
Might go into very heavy "T" to light "M". After
all, this is the Sweeney Todd fandom, I wouldn't want anyone to get
upset at the graphic nature of something.
Mrs. Lovett felt
both her hands tied above her as she awoke from her slumber, the
storm outside raging.
Her corset and skirt had been removed from
her body, leaving her in nothing but her thin blanket covering her.
She yanked at the bindings that held her wrists, but it was to no
avail, she was too tightly bound to the bed post.
Mrs. Lovett
looked around the room, and not seeing Thomas anywhere in sight, she
called for help.
" 'Elp me," she whispered softly, too
afraid to be louder then that. " 'elp me, please!" she
begged once more, a little louder, praying for anyone to hear her
through her thin walls.
She heard foot steps from her parlor
coming into the bedroom, and her heart began beating rapidly against
her chest as Thomas entered the room.
He looked at her prisoner
and chuckled with delight at the look of terror on her face.
"Well
now," he spoke, walking up to her, circling her bed. "Isn't
this a pretty picture? My own personal harlot, tied up and ready to
go."
"You don' wan' to do this," pleaded Mrs.
Lovett, "Please! I swear I won't tell a soul about Sweeney, or
me!"
"Now you see, Nellie," he said as if talking
to a five year old, "I could untie you, give you a handshake and
be off on my merry way."
He pulled out the knife and ran it
lovingly through his fingers, looking her covered body up and down,
"but now where would the fun be?"
"You'll get
arrested! You'll be 'anged! People will talk, they'll know you was
the last one to see me alive! Toby will go to the authorities, I
swear 'ee will!"
"Toby?!" Thomas laughed in
delight ,"that miserable excuse for a boy? No, I have plans for
him as well."
"Don't 'hut 'im!" she cried at once.
"I'll do anythin' you ask me, but just don't 'urt me son!"
He chuckled his cruel laugh once more before going up to her and
smiling down at her. "Don't worry, you will."
And with
incredible force, he hit her across the face. Mrs. Lovett let out a
cry of pain and felt one of her teeth come loose. She spit it out and
coughed on the blood and the sobs.
"Please!" she
pleaded, beginning to sob, "please leave me alone!"
"Not
a chance in hell."
With a yell, he ripped off the blanket,
leaving her naked and exposed.
She whimpered in fear and her body
began to shiver not from the cold, but form the fear and apprehension
of what she knew was going to come next.
"Beautiful,"
he mumbled, looking at every inch of exposed skin, a evil gleam in
his eye. He took a step forward and she screamed.
"No!"
Mrs. Lovett screamed as loud as she could, "Git away from me!"
He quickly got on top of her and held the knife to her throat.
"I swear if you don't shut the fuck up!" he growled, "I
will slit you from ear to fucking ear!"
She silenced herself
and he smiled at her,
"Much better,"
He looked her
up and down once more before moving his hands across her chest, his
thumb grazing over her nipples. He moved his hand down her her
stomach and rubbed her opening, closing his eyes and smiling in
pleasure.
"You're going to be a challenge," he
whispered into her ear, "I like that in a woman."
"Please," she told him, no longer sobbing, but instead
found it difficult to speak at all seeing she was shaking from fear
so much. "Please don't do this!"
"No, please
don't," he mimicked, before kissing her on the lips, and
inserting three fingers into her opening.
She screamed in pain
and tried to writhe away from him.
"No! Stop it! Please!"
"I know you like that," he whispered in her ear, gently
nibbling it as he moved his fingers in and out as fast as he could.
"A little harlot like you."
Mrs. Lovett screamed once
more, but the loud crash of thunder drowned her out.
"And
just think," he whispered again, "this is only the
beginning, I'm still gonna have a lot more fun with you."
She
couldn't speak, all she was able to do was sob in disbelief and pain
as he continued to assault her.
"Mum!" a familiar voice
rang out, followed by the sound of the bell tingling.
"Shut
up!" he ordered her in a whisper, "not one fucking word or
your son is dead. Do you understand?"
Mrs. Lovett nodded
profusely and he pulled his fingers out of her and went to the door
and opened it, slamming it shut.
Toby, who was just in the
parlor, soaked through to the skin, jumped at the sound and turned to
Thomas and let out a smile of relief.
"Sir!" he let out
a relieved shout, "Thank god you're alright! I couldn' fin' any
'elp. I came back to see if there was anything mum needed from me
or-"
"Relax, dear boy, " he said surprisingly
calm, "Your mother is resting. She fixed me up good and then
went straight to bed."
Toby smiled at the man before heading
into Mrs. Lovetts room.
"why are you going in there?"
He asked, jumping in front of him.
"I wanted to say good
night,"
"Well she's sound asleep, so I suggest you just
stay out of there for the time being. After all, it ain't proper for
a young boy to go into a grown woman's room, specially at night. Now
why don't you just head of to bed, and I'll be sure to tell her "
Toby looked at him, his eye brow cocked in confusion, and a
little suspicion, but decided to take it for the truth and made his
way over to the couch.
"Wot are you doing?" Thomas
asked, now getting severely annoyed at the boy.
"Goin' to
sleep, sir. I sleeps in the parlor."
Without another word,
he went to the tiny chest at the foot of his bed where he kept his
clothing and stripped off his shirt.
Knowing that having the
little boy right in the next room would ruin everything he had
planned, and knowing that his prize would begin screaming the moment
he walked back into the room, he let out a yell of frustration, and
tackled him to the ground.
"Git off me!" Toby yelled
fighting him.
"Don't 'urt 'im! Please!" came Mrs.
Lovetts scream from the other room.
"Mum!" Toby yelled,
fighting the man with all his worth.
He may not have looked it,
but thirteen years in a workhouse had toughened him up, but he was
still no match for a fully grown man.
"Let go of me, ya
bastard!" Toby yelled at him, kicking and flailing, desperate to
get to Mrs. Lovett and get her to safety.
"Shut up!"
Thomas roared, grabbing him by the collar of the shirt before
slamming the head down on the ground hard.
Toby stopped fighting
at once and he fell limp, his eyes shut.
Thomas stood up, wiped
the sweat off the brow before going back to the bedroom.
Mrs.
Lovett laid sobbing on the bed, only knowing that her son was out
there helpless, and Sweeney, her best friend, her protector, the
partner in crime, was dead somewhere out there.
"Aww,"
Thomas mimicked smirking, "don't cry. Your little bastards
alive, for now."
He walked over to her and unzipped his
trousers.
"No!" she screamed as loud as she could.
"Please don't do this!"
He chuckled and pulled down his
trousers and briefs, tossing them to the other side of the room. He
was already hard from the anticipation.
"Now," he said
slowly climbing on top of her, "the real fun begins."
Sweeney stumbled onto Fleet Street, seeing the only
candle to still be lit was that of his neighbors. He also saw, that
the front door was wide open.
Flicking his razor open, he went as
fast as he could, ignoring the blinding pain in his side, and the ice
cold ran pounding down upon him. Knowing what limited time he had to
get to her, to warn her or even save her if needs be.
He got to
the front entrance, and took a step in, being as quiet as he could
manage. He walked into the living room, and stopped short at what he
saw. Toby moaning softly, a trail of blood from his head to the
floor.
He went up to him and knelled down beside him.
"Toby,"
he whispered shaking the boy. "Toby!"
His eyes opened,
and he opened his mouth to shout, but Sweeney covered it with his
hand.
"Don't shout, you stupid boy!' he growled softly.
"Where is she and is she alright?"
Sweeney removed his
hand from his mouth and Toby began to speak in a hushed, panicked
tone.
As soon as he had said that, Mrs. Lovett emitted a loud
scream from the other room.
"She's in 'er bedroom! 'Ee's
'urting 'er, Mr. Todd! You have to save her!"
Sweeney
nodded, "You have to go run, and find a doctor, and a lawman, or
just the first person you see. Do you understand me?"
Toby
nodded before getting up and slowly walking out of the bakehouse not
to cause noise.
Sweeney got up and walked slowly to her bedroom,
flicking his razor open, and taking a deep breath, like a knight
preparing for battle. With another deep breath, he kicked the door
open as a crash of thunder sounded loudly.
"Get off of her!"
he growled as a flash of lightning lit up the sky and the tiny
bedroom, revealing the crazed barber.
Thomas and Mrs. Lovett both
looked over to him and Mrs. Lovett couldn't help but let out a cry of
relief. Thomas however, rolled off of her in a flash, got out his
knife and quickly sliced through the bindings and pulled her off the
bed, his knife to her throat, the other hand holding her arm behind
her back so that she couldn't make an attempt to escape.
"Let
her go now, or die," Sweeney ordered him, walking towards them.
"You're supposed to be dead!" Thomas yelled, as if
Sweeney had done something wrong.
"Let her go now!"
Sweeney ordered, this time with more anger then before, "or I
kill you where you stand!"
The lighting flashed once more,
and Thomas saw the crazed, insane look in his Sweeney's eyes, and it
frightened him.
"Look," Thomas said, attempting to hide
the fear in his voice. "You can join me!" Thomas smiled at
his idea. He had seen the way he looked at her, he knew exactly what
he wanted to do to her, the same thing he had done. "We can
share her, you and me. I'll even give you first dibs. Then we kill
her, I'll leave and you'll never hear from me again. I'll even kill
that wretched boy out there you hate so much!"
"No!"
Mrs. Lovett screamed trying to pull away from him, but Thomas yanked
her back. "Do what you want with me just don't 'urt Toby!"
"Shut up!" Thomas roared, pressing the knife to her
throat even harder.
Sweeney, said not a one word.
"Come
on, Todd!" Thomas urged, "I've seen the way you look at
this piece of filth, I know the urge! You wanted to feel her, to see
what lay underneath the skirts and corsets, to know what it's like to
take her, to hear her scream and moan in pain! To be inside a woman
you want to own! Join me, and I will never darken your door way
again, we get rid of this harlot, and you don't have to deal with
wanting and never having her anymore. I've never made any other man
this offer before."
Sweeney looked between an excited
Thomas, and a petrified Mrs. Lovett before he smiled gleefully.
"Tie
her up."
"Noooooo!" shrieked Mrs. Lovett, as
Thomas threw her down on the bed and held her down, tying her up with
the cut rope.
"Sweeney!" she screamed, sobbing like she
never had before. "Sweeney, don't do this, please!"
But
Sweeney looked on indifferent, walking over to her, looking her
bruised and bloody body up and down.
"Benjamen!" she
cried, trying one last time to reason with him, not believing this
was happening as Thomas finished up tying the knots. "Lucy
wouldn't want you to do this! The same thing that drove 'er mad
you're about to do! Please don't! Benjamen please!"
But once
again, he simply smiled a cruel smile at her and stroked her cheek
tenderly.
"Don't worry," Thomas got off of her and
walked around to Sweeney and looked down at her, ignoring the silver
razor in Sweeney's hand. "This will only hurt a bit."
With
sudden fury, he grabbed Thomas, yanked him so that he was facing
towards him, and as quick as a flash, he had slit his throat.
A
quick gurgle and spray of blood, and Thomas feel to the wooden plank
floor, dead.
Standing over the corpse, Sweeney took several deep
breaths to calm his nerves before he turned to Mrs. Lovett who was
sobbing both from relief, and pain. He grabbed the blanket from the
floor and gently covered her up from it, the fact that she had a slow
stream of blood flowing from in between her legs not escaping him.
"It's alright," he muttered, slicing through the
bindings with his razor. "He's never going to hurt you again.
Nothing is ever going to hurt you again."
Mrs. Lovett
quickly sat up and wrapped her arms around him, sobbing into his
shoulder, pain ripping through him with every sob she took, but he
didn't care at the moment. The only thing he cared about was the fact
that the Demons nightmare, had finally come true,
