I go running into the basement looking for Toby once more, while I'm down there judge Turpin grabs onto my dress I end up screaming "DIE! GOD IN HEAVEN, DIE!" and as I pull my dress out of his grasp I noticed the old woman... Lucy on the ground "you..." I say outloud "I can't stand her she's the reason mr.T doesn't love me!" I think as I start crushing her skull stepping on her face mutilating it you can't even recognize her anymore I snap out of it as I hear hear foot steps I tried pulling her towards the oven but mr.todd came in"why did you screamed"
"Oh 'e was catching onto me dress but 'es finished now"
"I'll take care of it open the door."
I kept trying to drag Lucy
"Open the door I said!"I stepped back and I watch him roll up his sleeves as I open the door it casted more light then I thought he looks down to Turpin then over at the crushed Lucy
"Wot did this one do to you" he asked laughing a bit gesturing to Lucy as he started picked Turpin up bringing him over
"Well I didn't see 'er and stepped on 'er when walking by Turpin"
"Seems a lot more then stepped on.."
"Well once I step on 'er I lost my balance and ended up falling on 'er hard me falling also is wot got Turpin off me dress"I could tell he didn't buy it but he didn't press on the matter anymore and we finished disposing of all bodies, I looked at him As he started walking up stairs. I didn't join him I was trying to wrap my head that he killed Lucy, did he not see who he was killing when he slit her neck I mean obviously not she was the whole reason he was back. I was lost in thoughts when I heard Mr.todd tell me to get out of the damn basement I went up the stairs wondering where Toby went I hope he's safe I get up their and Mr.todd is staring at me
"What's bothering you Mrs.Lovett"
"What do you mean, dear"
"You've got that worried look in your eye, don't tell me your worrying about the boy"
"How can i not, 'e felt like me own son"
"'Hes probably escaped though the Sewers and is telling the law everything now! hes betrayed you Lovett!"
"No 'e wouldn't have! I have to look for 'em" I'm on the verge of crying as I go back down into the bake house
"Toby, dear where are you.." nothing
"It's just us Toby i promise, I can explain everything to you love" by this point I've started crying
"Toby please I won't hurt you I won't let anyone hurt you just come out!"
I sighed wiping my tears it's useless hes gone I hope he's alright"Mum, what have you and mr.Todd done"
"TOBY! I'm so glad your ok come here" I open my arms but he backs away I frown slightly hurt
"Why'd you guys kill them"
"Toby dear come here I'll tell you everything"
"I'm not going near you mum your just as bad as 'em you'll kill me, I saw what you did to that woman"
"There's a reason for it all Toby
There was a barber and his wife
And he was beautiful a proper artist with a knife
But they transported him for life"
"Mr.Todd?"
"Yes
"He had a wife Lucy, she was so pretty most men thought so including judge Turpin 'e was so in love 'e put mr.Todd under a false arrest and sent 'im away she wasn't happy she sat up in that shop and cried with their daughter, Turpin would send 'er flowers, never came down though. one night beetle told er the judge felt bad so she went to 'es home it turned out to be a party, they tormented 'er there"
Skipping out on the fact she was molested
"Well what happened to 'er"
"She couldn't stand the torment from the ball, she tried poisoning 'erself but she lived through it, and it left 'er mad in the head she was sent to bedlam, I told Sweeney she drank the poison but not that she lived I did it because I love 'im I didn't want 'im looking for her I doubt she'd even recognize 'im anyway it's been 15 years and she's been crazy since bedlam, Toby 'is wife Lucy,is the old woman"
"Why'd you do that to her body"
"I didn't mean to honestly I was overcome by rage
"Why did 'e kill more then the judge, why'd 'e kill 'er"
"Well i dont know why he killed 'er bu-"I heard footsteps coming down the stairs and before I can react Mr.Todd throws the door open "What's taking so long Ms.Lovett!" Toby goes running behind me "oh great you found him" I smile "yeah I did" then I see him pulling out his razor "SWEENEY YOUR NOT KILLING TOBY" I realized the volume I used and I look in his eyes I could tell he was mad "DONT YELL AT ME WOMAN IF WE DONT KILL HIM HE'LL TELL THE LAW!"
"No I won't promise! I'd do anything for mum"
I hear mr.Todd swear under his breath"I''m going back up to my shop maybe if I'm lucky that boys still there I gotta get rid of him don't want him going around telling the law"
"What boy the only one up there should be Johanna"
Before anything else is said he runs out of the bake house im left their with Toby so I grab his hand and lead him back up to the shop
"I'm sorry I locked you in there Toby I just didn't want Mr.Todd going back to prison or worse getting hung" I feel Toby warp his arms around and hug me
"It's ok mum, just you won't lock me up again right?"
"Never" I kiss his forehead "promise to not tell Mr.Todd about Lucy?"
"I promise mum"
"Alright, can you go set up the guest rooms I'll be back in a minute" I leave him in one of the store booths and going up to Sweeney's shops I open the door I hear"PLEASE DONT HURT ME!"
Note: I kept reading Turpin as turnip
