Johanna? (Sweeney Todd Story) Part I
Chapter 2 : Johanna? (A Sweeney Todd Story) Part II
Ok, so this is my second part of my Johanna Chronicals... sorry it took so long to post it! again, the story gets better as you go on.... hope you like it!!
I felt myself being lifted off the ground. Everything went green, then my feet were back on the floor.
Me: Okay, that hurt.
I fell over and landed in someone's arms. I looked up and saw a very handsome, long haired boy.
Sweeney: Oh, Hello Anthony. (He turned twared me) Are you alright dear?
Me: Yeah.
I stood back up. Then I realized I had left the food I packed at my old house.
Me: Uh Guys? Slight problem...
Sweeney: What?
Me: I left my food at my house...
Lucy: Honey, this is your home now.
Me: Okay, but I still forgot my food.
Sweeney: Oh bugger, that's not good, you'll just have to eat what we have.
Me: Okay then.
Lucy: Your bedroom is down the hall, you should probably change your clothes so no one gets suspicious.
Me: Alrighty then.
I finally found my room (after like a billion years...) and opened the door. My. Room. Was. HUGE. My bed was light green, my curtains were black, everything was perfect. But that wasn't the best part, the closet was ENORMOUS! And it was filled with tons of dresses. I picked out a light blue gown with buttons all down the back, and amazing detail on the front and arms. But I couldn't reach the buttons.
Me: Lucy?! Can you come here for a second?
She didn't answer, so I took the silence as a yes. Sure enough, a few minutes later I heard footsteps enter my room.
Me: Sorry, I just couldn't get the back buttoned...
I turned around. It wasn't Lucy, It was Anthony.
Me: Oh, hi. Um is Lucy-
Anthony: Uh, she and your father had to go to the market to get some more food for you. I can help you if you need me to.
Me: Sure.
He hesitated, but after like five seconds, I felt his warm hands gently going up my back, swiftly buttoning up my dress.
Anthony: There you go.
Me: Okay, thanks. Um, I gotta um, you know, I gotta, Okay bye.
I kinda pushed him out and closed the door. I went over to the dressing table to do my hair. I found a way to pull some of my hair back like Johanna in the Sweeney Todd movie. I looked in the full length body mirror. I always thought I looked a bit like her, but now I looked exact. The dress fit perfectly, my hair was shinier than ever. I looked beautiful. There was a knock at the door.
Me: Who is it?
???: It's Mrs. Lovett Dear!
Me: Oh, come in.
Mrs. Lovett walked in with a child at her heels.
Mrs. Lovett: Hello Johanna, I'm Mrs. Lovett, and this (she gestured twared the kid) is Toby.
Toby: (bowing) nice to meet you.
Me: (curtsying very clumsily) It's nice to meet you too.
Mrs. Lovett: Oh, now aren't you just a spittin' image of your mother!
Me: Thank you.
We heard the front door open and Sweeney and Lucy walk in.
Sweeney: Where is everybody?
Mrs. Lovett: We're in Johanna's room!
2 minutes later, they walked though the doorway with Anthony right behind them.
Anthony: Woah.
I smiled shyly, and blushed. He did too.
Me: So Lucy, Sweeney, How do I look?
Lucy: You look splendid!
Sweeney: You know Love, we're your parents, you can call us mum and dad or mother and father or something.
Me: Okay then father... I like Dad better.
Sweeney: Me too.
Just then, Anthony spoke.
Anthony: Would you like to go on a walk with me Johanna?
Me: Um, sure.
I said goodbye to my parents and Anthony waked me out the door. We walked down Fleet Street.
Anthony: So, I know you've only been here for not even a day, but how do you like it?
Me: It's quite nice here, I especially like the clothes. This dress fits perfectly.
Anthony: Yes it does, ahem, um if you're going to live here, you will need to work on your accent.
Me: Oh yeah, ahem, I mean, oh yes.
We laughed. My accent was pretty bad. He looked in my eyes as our faces leaned in. Our lips were only an inch apart...
