Ch12 Mrs. Lovett's POV

Not knowing when Toby was coming home I clean the kitchen and start to make breakfast. Eggs and toast, nothing to fancy. I wait for a minute to see if Mr. T will come down but after a few minutes I decide to bring the food up to him. When I look in his shop I see Sweeney Todd asleep in his demon's chair. I quietly set the tray down and walk out. I didn't want to wake him because I know he doesn't get much sleep. I wake up in the middle of the night and I can hear him pacing up there. I start to open my shop and am flooded with costumers. I look out aside and see Sweeney's shop still isn't open. I can't help but wonder if he's still sleeping up there. I close my shop after the breakfast rush and take a break. My bones are what they were that's for Shure.

"hello love" I say right before I open the shop when a sleepy Sweeney Todd walks in his hair all deshelled. In my opinion it looks kind sexy but I wouldn't say that out loud

"hi" he says coming closer and he leans down and gives me a quick kiss

"do you want something to eat" I ask after a moment. I can tell my cheeks are red as a rose from blushing but I can't help the smile that has taken over my face.

"I'm fine, I hank I'm going to go out for a bit" he says looking up at me. Almost as if asking my perdition.

"that nice dear. Get a little fresh air" I say nodding at him. He doesn't get out enough as it is.

"I'll be back later tonight" he saws then kisses me again and leaves. Once eat a little something I start to bake pies for the lunch crowd. People come in and out its actually quite busy. I almost wish Sweeney was here to kill some people so I could have some more meat.

"hello Mrs. Lovett" say a voice and I turn around from the oven and see Ron Slater. Hess a nice guy comes in for a pie for lunch on his brake. Always leaves a good tip.

"hello love hove your ben" I say I have seen him in a week or so. Hess always so polite to me. Even helps me out if a nether customer is getting to handset with me.

"just fine thanks think I could get a pie and glass of scotch" he asks with a small smile

"of course dear be back in a tick" I say an I run to get more pies out of the oven. Hess some type of business man. I don't think he's married but who's to say.

"here you are" I say handing him his food and gin it's a bit odd he normally just drinks water but it must have been a long day for him

"thank you" he says I smile then go to serve other people. A little later he leaves, leaving me a good tip as usual. Hess such a nice mania know Sweeney says we all deserve to die but I don't think he does.

"excuse me miss is the Berber in upstairs" asks a tall man just as I am wiping down tables from lunch

"sorry dear he's out at the moment come back tomorrow and he should be there" I say wiping down the last table outside.

"pity I heard he's the best barber in London" he says staring at my chest I know I shouldn't wear such reveling closes but it's so hot inside and its one of the only things that keeps me cool.

"he is that" I say lightly then cross my arm over my chest so he'll stop looking

"well you have a good night" he says with a nod then walks away. I wonder when Sweeney will be back. And toby as well. I go to the bake house to start getting ready for dinner. On busy days like today I have to work nonstop, that way I don't run out of pies. I need to bring in as much money as possible. Once the donner rush is over I start the cleaning proses once again. Sweeney still isn't back. I wonder what he could be up too.

"hello Mrs. Lovett" Ron says right as I was finishing cleaning. I know I turned the shop door to closed what on earth could he be doing here.

"hello Ron" I saw with a smile. I want to tell him that were closed but I don't want to be rude.

"aren't you happy to see me Elinor" he replies stepping a little closer to me. Odd that's the first time he's ever called me by my first name.

"cores I am just being expecting you is all" I reply coming out from behind the counter.

"well good Couse I am sternly happy to see you" he says coming closer yet again I can smell alcohol on his breath.

"Ron are you drunk" I ask taking a step back but he grabs my wrist.

"just a little" he says then he does something I never would have expected he kisses me. Hard. I try to push him off but he's much stronger than I am.

"stop it." I say when I finally push him off. He doesn't say anything he pins me agents the wall and I start to scream but his hand soon covers my mouth. I start to cry when I see him reach for his belt I start sobbing. I close my eyes knowing what he's about to do next when I feel the wait and pressure lift off of me. I open my eyes and see I angry Sweeney punching Ron I look and see one of the razors on the floor.

"wait I say" calmly just when Sweeney is about to slit the guy's thought

"Nellie" Sweeney says looking confused. I grab the razor off the floor and walk words them. Ron looks scared as ever I can see him shaking in Sweeney's arms.

"you were right love we all deserve to die" I say and I stab Ron in the chest and I can fell the blood running down my arm. I keep stabbing him over and over again. I can see why Sweeney likes this so much.

"Nellie. Nell. Love... he's dead" Sweeney says grabbing my hand and taking the razor out of it. Only then do I rely I'm on the floor with the bloody body to my right.

"just get read of it" I say waving my hand at the body. I get up and walk over to my room and look at myself in the mirror, now I know how Sweeney fells after a kill. I look completely crazy my hair is all over the place my dress is covered with flower and blood. Blood all the blood. I start to feel sick I run to the bathroom at through up. I just killed a man. I was almost raped. Would have been if it wasn't for Sweeney.

"you all right" Sweeney asks and I look and see him standing in the door way. That's a good question. Am I alright.
