The Becoming | Sweeney Todd

Chapter 11 | Dress

S W E E N E Y   P. O. V.

Those wide eyes of mine were a reaction I had first encountered.

Shock was shaking my body, and yet I stood still.

That wasn't (Y/n)...

It wasn't....

It can't be.

And that's when the world hit me back with motion.

My breath entered my lungs - my feet moved towards the edge faster than ever-

I sprinted - my footsteps thundering across the wood -

I leaped over the edge right after her.

I'll save you.

Please -

- Just hold on.

Hold your breath.

I leaped -

And then the restrain happened.

Two arms pulled me from the edge right before my chance to jump.

"Mr. Todd what are you doing!?"

The sailor sounded - I resisted.

"She jumped- She jumped-"

I muttered endlessly under my breath.
Panic was setting in.
More arms came to hold me -

I was thrashing-

"SHE'S GOING TO DROWN

LET ME GO!"

I was roaring -

Someone ran to the edge-
To that cursed railing...

He calmly yet curiosity looked down...

I calmed down...

I stared at that man with wide eyes.

I was begging for the response.

A result.

"There's nobody to look for there, Mr. Todd."

This Satan turned to face me.

"The ocean is as pitch black as the night sky.

The waves are too high.
