Author's note
This is my first time writing a story and I just want to say bear with me. I know I'm not that good, but I have a lot of ideas. I would love to hear some of your guys' opinions and ideas! So, please feel free to comment and constructive criticism is always nice. (: So, without further adieu here is my story...
Mrs. Lovett was sitting in Sweeney's barber chair. He's been gone for quite some time now.. 5 years. She still has his razors. She still remembers them dancing in the parlor singing together. That was when she was the happiest. When he took her hand and whisked her into a dance like no other... Oh how she missed his devilish spirit. But, that's all in the past now.
When he finally got his revenge, he went downstairs and took Johanna and Lucy. And.. that was it. He was gone. He left... He left Mrs. Lovett, Anthony, and Toby. Toby and him never did get along. Toby thought he was just pure evil. I guess he was right... How could he leave Anthony? The one who saved his life? The one who saved Johanna and brought her to him? But most of all... How could he leave Mrs. Lovett? The one who was always there? The one who always encouraged him? The one who helped cover his tracks when he got into a tight spot? The one who baked the delicious "meat" pies? How?
Then Anthony came in and snapped Mrs. Lovett back into reality. "What is it, love?", she asked Anthony. "I- I don't know.... I just miss Johanna. Right when I thought everything was going to be right again. She gets taken. I mean he is her father and all, but... why? Why did he have to leave?" "Well, dearie I don't know. I'm quite sad as well. I miss him... He was... Oh never mind that." "No ma'am. If I may ask, what were you going to say?"
"Well, you see. I've known Mr. T for such a long time. And when he came back to London I was so excited. When I saw him all my feelings that I buried for so long came back. I was hoping that we would be a family. That he would finally love me like I love him. But he was so caught up in killing that bloody 'ole judge. And Lucy held him back. I remember one time when we were up in his shop. I was talking to him about Lucy and how he needs to move on because she's gone. I told him that life is for the alive and then he turned around and I'll never forget how he looked at me. He looked at me with eyes that said, "I'm a wreck. I know you can save me." I was just about to kiss him when you came in." "I'm so sorry, miss..." "No no. You're fine. I've just always wondered what would happen if I would've gotten the chance to tell him how I really feel."
Right as Mrs. Lovett said that Toby came in. "Hello mum." "Hello darling..." Ever since Mr. T has been gone, it's brought a whole new meaning to times is hard. Anthony doesn't know how to do anything but sail. Toby is just a boy and Mrs. Lovett doesn't believe in sending him back to the workhouse. Even though it would bring in money.So, Mrs. Lovett has sold her hair to the wigmaker's. She doesn't have a lot of hair so that didn't do much. She then had to resort to prostitution. She has tried to shield the boys from it, but they're very smart and clever and they soon figured out how she was getting all the money.
"Mrs. Lovett? Mum? Hello" Toby was trying to get her attention. "Did you hear me at all, mum?" "Oh.. No. I'm sorry. Please. Go ahead." said Mrs. Lovett. "As I was saying, Mr. T. is coming back to London."
First chapter? I think yes. Let me know what you think and if I should even continue this book. (:
