How it's like being Sweeney Todd's daughter. (𝗖𝗢𝗠𝗣𝗟𝗘𝗧𝗘𝗗)

10

Sweeney Todd went downstairs and gave the letter to Toby.
Mr. T- Do what I told you to do a minute ago.
Toby- Where did Laura go?
Mr. T- GO!
Toby jumped and ran to the door. Todd watched him as he walked away, pretty quickly.
Mr. T- Laura is downstairs. I got mad and...
Mrs. L- So I can use her for my pies?
Mr. T- We'll see. Don't do anything yet...
Mrs. L- Poor one... well we still had to think of another flavor.
Todd sat down on one of the tables and placed his hand upon his forehead.
Mr. T- What have I done? She's my daughter I KNOW IT.
He got up and smashed of the glasses that were placed on the table.
Mrs. L- How do you know?
Sweeney turned to look at her with a scary look as if he was saying "I'm coming to get you", turned around and opened the bakery's door.
Mr. T- I just do...  -small pause- I killed my daughter.
He slammed the door behind him and went upstairs to get ready for tonight.
                       **************
Laura woke up to loud laughing and talking sounds that were coming from upstairs. She had spent 3 hours down there, but it had felt like minutes. Everything looked blurry but she could make out the huge oven that was standing some feet away from her. After the blur had passed she started feeling so painful as if she had just hit her head a thousand times on a wall. She placed her hand upon her forehead and realized that she was bleeding, luckily less than before. Her nose bleed had stopped but she couldn't move her ankle and left arm.
She heard someone walking upstairs and slowly coming towards the stairs leading to the deadly basement. She got up and started limping towards the huge over. Of course, she tripped one or two times, but she would immediately get up and continue limping. She hid behind the oven and placed her hands and back on the oven. She was in such shock that she didn't realized that she was being burnt. After 4 ir 5 seconds she felt as if someone had set her back on fire and pushed herself away. She stayed hidden behind the oven, without any part of her body touching the hot oven.
Someone opened the door, but there were more than two people.
Mrs. L- This is the oven, make sure you add enough pies here but not too many.
Toby- Enough but not many, got it!
Mrs. Lovett continued to explain about the meat and the pies and everything else he needed to know to make meat pies.
Mrs. L- You wait here, I'll come back in a bit.
Toby- Can I eat a pie while waiting?
Mrs. L- Eat as many as you want, love.
Laura heard the door opening and closing and crunching sounds from a bit away. She took a look and saw toby looking around the basement. It was her chance.
She limped away from the oven towards Toby.
Laura- Toby... please... help...
Toby attempted to scream but Laura put her finger on her lips trying to tell him to be quiet.
Toby- Laura... what happened to you!?
Laura- He.... him.... Todd... he.....
She fell on his arms trying to not fall. That ankle for God's sake...
Toby- It's alright you are safe, I'll go tell Mrs. Lovett-
Laura- Don't you dare... she's in the trick let's get out of here.
Toby ran to the door and tried to open it.
Toby- It's locked. We have to find another way out-
A sound of smash behind him interrupted him. The dead body of the beedle of London was lying behind them.
Toby- QUICK! THE SEWERS!
They crawled to a passageway that led them to the sewers and ran from different directions, hoping that they would escape this kind of hell...
