Lucy's POV

I've known that there was something suspicious about the barber and pie shop for a while now, barber shop customers disappearing randomly and the shop with the worst pies in London becoming the best? Something was wrong and I was going to find out now. But I have to be fast I don't know how much longer I have before I start to..... forget things again.

I could hear voices coming from the barber shop but I couldn't make out words from this distance but as I crept up the stairs the words became clearer.

My hand shot up to cover the gasp the escaped at the sight of judge Turpin covered in blood sliding down a shoot behind the barber chair. I stood there unable to move as the barber who looked strangely familiar let out a demonic laugh then spun scanning the room, I was terrified of him seeing me but I was still to scared to move.

'No, no it can't be!' I thought staring at the barber, just as I was about to run away he saw me and dragged me into the room, his arm was raised and he had started to swing his razor at my throat, just then I was able to speak "Benjamin" I whispered and to my surprise he stopped and rested the razor against my throat "what did you say" he snarled at me, I could tell he was angry and that terrified me " Benjamin " I said a bit louder and slowly placed my hand on his cheek.

All of his anger melted away and was replaced by a look of sorrow and disbelief, I smiled up at him as he put his hand on top of mine and smiled down at me almost crying. I was just about to tell him how much I loved him but I felt my saintly start to slip I didn't want him to see me like this so I tried to run away but if was too late.
