Hey ;) So yea, this is the 2nd chapter that i upload today. This one is longer than the others. I hope you guys like it.
Toby walks in the small village. It's late, so there aren't that much people on the small streets of London. He looks around, the moon flickers in the windows from the small houses. Then he hears noise, men are shouting at each other. No, the streets of London are not safe at this time of the day.
Some drunk men walk over the street. They throw their empty bottles of wine on the streets, and they sing loudly. Then someone opens the window, "Silence! You stupid fools, i try to sleep!" The women was really angry, you could almost see fire coming out of her eyes!
She roughly closes the window.
The men laugh, and walk further to the quay. Toby follows the men silently. Then they come by the quay. Big sailboats lay there, ready to sail away and never come back.
Toby looks around, he searches for the black and white hair from Mr Todd. He can't find it, but then suddendly he sees a line of white between all the sailmen. And he begins to run, "Mr Todd! Mr Todd!'
It seems like the barber doesn't hear him, he walks over the plank to the deck of the boat. Some of the sailmen start to laugh at the little boy.
"Mr Todd!" Toby screams as loud as he can. Then the barber turns around, and he sees the little boy standing on the quay. His eyes are filled with pain, and something else. The barber can't see what it is, guilt? That the boy ever trusted the heartless barber?
Maybe.., he has to stay. To look after Mrs Lovett and the little boy, maybe...
The barber shakes his head, no, he has to leave. London is not a place for him, it makes him confused. He has so many feelings, and that was not normal for him; a man who never forgives. The baker, he keeps thinking about her, is she doing now? Can she manage it alone?
He shakes his head again, no no no, she is a strong women. She is better without him.
He tries to throw her away, out of his heart. But he can't. She already made a small room in his heart. A room full with memories, about her, about him. He closes his eyes and let the memories flow over him.
The baker, how she always tries to make him happy. She talked the whole day. The barber smiles. And her messy hair, it always smelled so nice.. The cellar, where she made her pies, in every pie she puts a bit of her love. She has always enough love, for him.
The barber sees what he is going to miss, when he's gone. He thinks, i have to stay.., not only for her, but also for me. I will not be happy somewhere else, because there's no place like London!
Then the ground suddendly starts to move, he opens his eyes. The boat, the boat is leaving. LEAVING?!
What?! Mr Todd looks around, his eyes full with panic. He runs to one of the sailmen, "Mr, Mr, do know where the captain is?" The man points. "Thank you sir." And Mr Todd runs to the direction where the man did point too. But the captain isn't there.
Then Mr Todd feels something under his feet. He looks, and sees a hatch. He opens it, and climbs as fast as he can downstairs, to the room of the captain.
Mr Todd tries observe the area, but it's very dark. He touches with his hands around him, then he feels the wall and walks foward. He feels with his hands where he has to go, then suddendly one of his hands gets caught in a spider web. "Ugh", he mumbles. He hates spiders. He wipes his hand of on his clothes. Then he continues with his search for the captain.
Suddendly his hands feel a door. He sighs reliefly, and knocks on the door. "Come in". Mr Todd opens the door, and walks in. The captain is sitting behind a big wooden table. He's quite plump and has a big, white coloured moustache. His hair is also white, and he wears a captains-hat over it. He has a big nose, and a wide smile on his wrinkled face. "Hello sir, what can i do to help you?"
Mr Todd doesn't smile, his face doesn't show any emotion. "I'm on the wrong ship, i really have to go back."
The captain looks at the strange man, he can't see emotion on his face. Only in his eyes, the captain looks deep in the eyes of the man. Yes, he sees something, it's hope and guilt mixed with each other. The captain thinks, he's always interested in backstories of sailors. Where did this man go through? He's really curious and he almost came to the point to ask the man about his story. But something, in the eyes of the man had changed. He saw a glance of hate, bloodlust, and impatiency. The captain is starting to feel a bit nervous to be alone with this strange man in one room. When he starts to speak, his voice isn't that strong anymore. "Well, i can't turn the ship back to London. I'm sorry sir."
Mr Todd starts to feel the anger inside him. It starts in his heart, and flows through his nerves, his blood. The anger fills every place in his body.
He bites on his tongue, and makes fists of his hands.
He is angry, he is really angry. He wants to see blood, he wants to see the captain suffering for what he said. That he, Mr Todd, couldn't return to Mrs Lovett! Ehr, he meant London, of course. Mrs Lovett was just a person, he doesn't care about her.. Or does he? Secretly?
And, what do you think? Does he care about the baker? ;)
