Fleet Street's Nemesis // Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street

The "End" Part 2

A/N: THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR 100 VIEWS! AND VOTES! IM SO GRATEFUL! Anyway, continue, we left off right before 'Pretty Women' Also, a shorter chapter, don't worry, they won't continue to be like this.

'Ah, pretty women'

'Pretty women, yes'

'Johanna, Johanna,'

'Pretty women
Pretty women are a wonder
Pretty women'

'What we do for women!'

     I watch as Mr. Todd wraps the cape around the man after taking off his scarfs and such. I did not have patience for this sort of thing.

'Pretty women
Blowing out their,'

'Blowing out their'

'Candles'

'Or-- combing out their,'

'Combing out their'

'Hair'

'Then they leave'

'Even when they leave,'

'Even when they leave you and vanish'

'They somehow can still remain'

'There with you'

'There'

'They still
Are there
They're there'

     I look at how Mr. Todd looked at the Judge than held his razor high, admiring it as it gleamed in the moonlight.
     "How seldom it is to meet a fellow spirit."
     "With fellow taste in women, at least."
     The men both glanced at me, Mr. Todd's only for a second and the Judge's longer.
     "What's that?"
     "The years no doubt have changed me, sir. But then, I suppose, the face of a barber-- the face of a prisoner in the dock-- is not particularly memorable."
     It took him awhile but the judge got it, "Benjamin Barker."
     "Benjamin Barker!" Mr. Todd yelled before stabbing the Judge in the throat multiple times.
     I stood closer and watched as the Judge struggled. I felt a grin spread across my face as well as some blood, that was fine though.
     Mr. Todd stood next to me and handed me the razor. I smiled gratefully before slashing the man across the throat with a wide swing. More blood got on to me and I wiped some of my face to stare at it, no doubt some got in my mouth with how wide my grin was.
     I peered at the body and smiled. He got what he deserved. Mr. Todd stepped on the pedal and I looked him over, he was absolutely covered in blood, must be what I look like. I held up the razor to look at it, just like one of us, covered in blood. Mr. Todd stood closer to me as we admired the blade, he took it gently from my hands. We sunk to our knees, staring at ourselves in the razor's surface.

'Rest now, my friend
Rest now - forever
Sleep now the untroubled
Sleep of the angels'

     I couldn't stop the grin on my face, it never left as I relished in the death and blood of that foul vulture. I looked up at Mr. Todd and he smiled a little back at me.
     "We got our revenge." I said and wiped some blood on my face, attempting to feel more of it, but I just seemed to get more on me.
     A creak was heard on the side of the room ,my head snapped up and I saw a pair of familiar eyes, who? We got up and went to the crate.
     "Come for a shave have you lad?" Mr. Todd asked after lifting it open.
     "No, I-"
     He lifted them up, the kid looked scared to death.
"Everyone needs a good shave." Mr. Todd said as he threw the kid on the chair.
     My eyes widened as I recognized the hair spilling out the cap.
     "Sweeney." I stop him from razing the blade to hurt the kid. I smile gently, "Johanna." I take off the girls cap and yellow hair spills out.
     Mr. Todd stops mid air and his hand drops the razor. "Oh."
     "Oh Johanna, I'm sorry you had to see all this." I say and pull her up. My head snaps to the door when I hear a blood curdling scream come from a voice that could only belong to Mrs. Lovett.
     "Forget this." Mr. Todd says and grabs his razor before we run down the stairs, I smile kindly back at Johanna and we burst through the Bake houses doors. Mrs. Lovett was holding the beggar by her wrists.
