Willie could hear all of the sounds around her, but she had no idea what was happening. She just remembered falling to the ground. She opened one of her big blue eyes, her face a pail white. She couldnt move her lips or any lim on her body. But she opened her other eye, and looked down at her arm, to much blood was spilling from it. Then she saw Nellie and managed to tilt her mouth up a bit to smile.
"Its not my fault that Im curious as to why there is a blood trail. Your crying! Im the one who is now probably going to die." Harry didnt know what to do, so he gave her a hug and said, "Dont cry, please dont cry." He kissed he cheek and said, "I wont tell, because you wont tell." |
She hugged him back and looked at Todd then back at Harry."The only way I can let you live is if you stay with us..you can't leave or you might tell someone." She dropped her knife and looked at him."I won't kill you or Willie..but you both have to stay.." She mumbled, ,,brushing her bangs out of her face." Todd, I can watch both of them at my factory..since Willie lives in a box in all she could stay in my basement or something.."
|
Harry looked at her and said, "Fine." He kissed the top of her head and said, "Your better then I thought Katie." Even though the girl that he liked a lot was a murderer, he still liked her just as much. It was probably because his parents were almos the same, they were in charge of the drug trade, they had gangs that they took care of like they were family. They werent as people as these people, but they were close.
|
Todd satred at Nellie,"I don't care what happens to them. All of you, get out of my house." He went over to Nellie and shook his head; telling her to not touch Willie. He said nothing as he went up the stairs into the pie shop.
Nellie frowned and wrapped her arm with a cloth in her bra and stared sadly at everyone as she stood on the stairs."Poor thing..." |
Katie sighed."Todd.." She then looked at Harry."Take Willie back to my house and make yourself comfortable..i'll probably be there soon..but let Nellie help Willie first." She then ran up the steps."Todd, I'm sorry.." She frowned.
|
Todd stared,"For what? I just want you all out." He went over to the window silently,"I doubt if...anyone would know..." He sang quietly so only he could hear. He saw a dog run by. He knew Nellie would have chased after it.
Nellie's hands and arms were close to her chest as she satred at Harry and Willie awkwardly. |
"Oh..." She frowned a little."Well...bye I guess." She said softly, turning to hide the crushed look on her face. She went back down the steps."Grab Willie, we gotta go.."
|
Nellie blinked surprised,"You're all leaving?" She looked at the ground then back up,"Do I have to leave too?" She felt like a child so awkward and lost...
|
"No..you don't have to leave but apparently he wants us out." She looked at Harry and Willie and gave Nellie a hug."I'll see you again..tomorrow? Unless Todd doesn't want me to come back.." She said softly. She let go."And he was beautiful.." she sang softly.
|
Nellie walked up the stairs,"Oh okay...I'll talk to him don't worry." She smiled softly.
|
Katie nodded and led Willie and Harry back to her home."Willie..you'll stay in the basement room..its nice down there as long as the heats on..Harry you'll stay in the study." She said, opening the door for him."If you both need me i'll be in my room.."
|
Harry kissed Katie on the cheek and picked Willie up. "Ill take care of that arm of yours." He ripped off a piece of his nice black pants and wrapped her wound with it. The girl still was a little out of it, but she was doing better then before. He went upstairs and got her a glass of water. "Tada." He patted her head and went to the study sitting on the couch. What about all of my stuff, oh shit what about my butler? So may things ran through his head as he sat in the study.
|
Katie frowned softly and came in."Harry...you can leave if you want... I know you won't tell." She was by the door." She looked towards Lucys home." Poor thing.." She hten looked back at Harry."I need to go make an earrand.."
|
"No way, I dont want to go back there. Ill just get some clothes and Ill be right back." He kissed her cheek and ran off to his old house. He grabbed some clothes and other things that he might need and then ran out. Harry put his stuff on the side and went to go check on Willie.
|
Katie decided not to go out since it was already dark."There was a barber and his wife...and he was beautiful.." She scanned threw the diary she had found in the pie shop wall. She had fallen asleep reading it.
((XD onyeen, magical time skip forward?)) |
(( I agree!!! :D))
|
((Eh why not?))
MAGIC TIME SKIP FORWARD WHOO! Lucy sat at her window debating whether or not to visit Todd and Nellie. She wanted to but wasn't sure. Something told her to stay home. Todd started his work killing faster than usual. He had to cause Willie couldn't be here and who knows where Katie is. He looked outside,"I'd want you beautiful and plae the way I dreamed you were..." Nellie looked outside as well,"Down by the sea...we'll grow old together..." She daydreamed fondly. Lucy looked at the pie/barber shop and saw the dark smoke,"Smoke...smoke!" She jumped up, for some reason it startled her,"Sign of the devil! Sign of the devil! City on fire!!!" She stared at the smoke worried for some odd reason. |
She walked to Harrys room, patting his head."i'm going to work." She ran outside, down the street and up the barber shop steps. She noticed Todd was killing a lot quicker today."Slow, love, slow..."She sang and patted his shoulder."Time's so fast...Now goes quickly, see, now it's past!" She smiled a little and continued to sing softly."Soon will come.." She ran her hand over his shoulder."Soon will last..."She whispered/sang in his ear."Wait." She paused."Everything will come to you sooner or later..whats bothering you?"
"So would you like my help? Because i'd like to help.." |
Todd sharpened his razor,"I'm only going faster because I'm the only one working here right now. Do what you may but do it in the public barber room." He continued to sharpen then looked at the razor so fine and full of shine,"Next!" He called.
Lucy paced in her room,"Go...not go....go later...go now...don't go at all....go...???" She sighed and flopped on her bed. Nellie looked around,"Try the frier...fried, it's driar...*sigh*....oh sorry! I've been zoning out! Here are your pies!" She smiled and went back to get more pies. |
Katie sighed."Fine." She said, leaving the room and helping the next person, "Just head on back there.. aww you have a very cute daughter." She smiled at the little girl and patter her head, leading them both into Todds room and then shutting the door. She led the old man over to the chair, he was ranting something about a pretty girl."Pretty women..are a wonder." The man then complimented her and said she was pretty as well..thats when she slit his throat.
|
Todd sighed and gave the man a shave and let him leave with the little girl but first he said,"For the little girl...a lollipop." He gave her a lollipop and watched them go,"And if you're beautiful what then with yellow hair, like wheat...Lucy..." He sighed and waited for the next one.
|
Katie heard him singing and sighed a little."So he does like Lucy.." She mumbled to herself, stabbing the next person in anger."Todd.." She said softly, sitting down in her chair and looking up at the ceiling. She tossed her barber knife up and caught it right before it hit her forehead."Next." She wondered what Todd would do if she said she knew more about Lucy thanks to the book..
|
Todd looked out the window,"Or was that really you? Who was that girl...Nellie possibly...one can only wonder." He turned in a quick slice to the next of an old man,"Farewell." He watched it fly down,"Next!"
Nellie looked outside,"I'll tell him tonight. Only if Lucy doesn't come." She smiled and handed out more pies. Lucy looked around her bookshelf,"It can't be by chance that he too is a barber like the old Sweeney Todd..." She started reading a book about the first barber on Fleet Street; Sweeney Todd. |
Katie went down the steps and into the pie shop."So..you talked to Todd right?"
|
Nellie nodded happily,"I will again tonight if a little Linnet Bird doesn't come!" She winked and handed out more pies; humming to herself.
Lucy sat on the chair on her small balcony,"How is it you sing anything? How is it you sing? My cage has many rooms damask and dark. Nothing there sings not even my lark. Larks never will you know when thery're captive. Teach me to be more adaptive. Ah... Green Finch, Linnet Bird, Nightingale, Blackbird teach me how to sing. If I cannot fly...teach me to sing..." She sang sadly but beautifully. |
