Plot: He comes back as Mr. Todd (as opposed to Benjamin Barker, who got sent to jail if you've seen the movie or the play) and plans to get his revenge but something stops him.

Mr. T
I walk through the shadowy streets of where I once called home. I wonder how Lucy and Johanna have been. I miss them. I figure Lucy went to stay with that filthy Judge Turpin. I growled at the thought of it, the sound echoing in the empty alleyway.

Gosh, why does London have to be so dark? I finally found Fleet Street and a place called 'Mrs. Lovett's meat pies.' Hm . . . maybe she could help me.

I walked in and a medium sized woman was working around the kitchen. She put something that looked disgusting in the oven and when she seen me, she nearly jumped out her skin.

"Sorry, you gave me a fright! Thought you was a ghost!" I kept what I'm assuming was a grim expression and she sighed. "Sorry love, these are the worst pies in London. Meat being the price it is, I can't make em good enough. You'd think we have the plague."

I looked around the place and realised that I didn't blame them. I'd noticed the place where my Lucy used to now she's obviously gone.

"What's on your mind, love?" The lady asked, walking over to me. "Um . . . nothing. Do you know where I can find Lucy Barker?" I cringed, waiting for the realisation. She looked shocked at the mention of her, but answered anyway. "Uh, alright. Well, she has a husband. But he was shipped away a long long time ago."

She went on to tell me she was Mrs. Lovett and that Lucy had went to Turpin's party a few years back and got food poisoning. She told me she was in the hospital and that the judge had tried to make a move on her. She told how he almost abused her and I screamed, "NO!" I turned away from the shocked woman. "Do you know where she is now? "

"So it is you . . . Benjamin Barker," she whispered in disbelief. I whirled around, scaring her again, "No, not Barker. It's Todd now. Sweeney Todd."

I went around London looking for anyone who resembled Lucy and found no one. I sat on a bench sighing in defeat. Another person sat next to me, with brown curls and green eyes. She looked a little bit like Lucy but I knew it wasn't her.

"Are you alright, love?" She asked, her voice was light and melodic. "Fine," I mumbled, just wanting to be alone. "Sir, you don't seem fine. What's happened?"

"I've lost my wife and daughter. I was hauled off many many years ago and was taken away from my family." She smiled sadly, "That sounds like what happened to my husband. No charges, the judge just wanted to be with me. Luckily, I got away from him." Something clicked in my mind, "That's terrible. What's your daughter's name?"

Her green eyes lit up at the mention of her, "Her name's Johanna, her and her boyfriend Anthony are on their way here now." I felt my eyes widen and my expression soften, "Lucy?" I asked in a broken whisper.

"How do you know my name?" She was astonished and for the first time, I showed her my face. Lucy studied me for a second before her features softened as well. "Oh my God . . . Ben!" She threw her arms around me and I put my arms around her thin waist. "Come on, let's go back to this place I've found. It's a meat pie place but uh . . . neither the owner or I don't recommend eating them." She laughed and walked with me to the pie shop.

The bell jingled as we walked in and Mrs. Lovett looked up but something left her eyes when she seen me with Lucy. "Hey Mr. T, what's up?" Lucy stared in confusion, "Ben, what's she on about?"

"Right, I forgot. I changed my name to Sweeney Todd so Judge Turpin wouldn't haul me off again." She nodded and we sat in a booth, just talking with Mrs. Lovett. A girl about 15 years old walked in, her long blonde hair in curls.

She had blue green eyes and the guy with her was holding her hand. "Johanna! Anthony!" Lucy called, standing to hug them. I was appalled to see my daughter for the first time since she was a baby. Oh my God . . . I think I might cry a bit. As I stared, she noticed me and so did the guy.

"Mr. Todd?!" He exclaimed in shock. I realised then that this was the sailor who helped me out. "Mum . . .who's he?" Johanna asked shyly, brushing the hair out of her face.

I smiled a little and stood, joining Lucy. She put her hand on my arm, pushing me forward gently. I glanced anxiously out the corner of my eye at her. She nodded subtly, saying to Johanna, "Johanna, darling, this is your father. Don't be upset with him . . . he had to leave for some reasons, remember me telling you that?" She gave her a pointed look and Johanna nodded.

"Dad," she whispered, tears welling in her eyes. "Oh my gosh," she added in a broken voice, throwing her arms around me and I held her to me tightly.

I closed my eyes as I felt happy tears fall from my eyes. "I've finally got my family back." Lucy put a hand on my shoulder gently, leaning her head there as Mrs. Lovett and Anthony watched the reunion.

It's been months since we've been reunited, but it's been long since we've renewed out vows. Now, it's Johanna and Anthony's turn to get married. And I cannot wait to walk my beautiful daughter down the aisle.

Hiiiiii!!!!! The next will be a crack fic. Feel free to judge 😂😂😂😂😋
