The Demon Barber is Alive!

Chapter 1: the Story 1 Year after the Movie Left off and What Happened In Between

After almost being murdered by the not-so-bright Tobias Ragg, our stories hero, Mr. Sweeney Todd of Fleet Street has been left with a rather graphic scar on his neck. His wife Lucy is, unlike himself very, very dead. Mrs Lovett however is not. She is alive and still in love with Mr. Todd, who cares for her most of the time but with his unpredictable moods it's hard to say whether it's love or hatred(but he could never love her more than Lucy), even after he threw her into a blazing bake oven and like Sweeney she also has a reminder of her run in with death, her skin is now patchy where it was burnt and it took her hair months to grow back and even now it is only a small mass of shoulder length curls. Johanna lives with them above the pie shop as she refuses to live with her fiancé, Anthony. This is because, after he rescued her and Mr. Todd killed Turpin, Anthony Hope bought Turpin's House and turned it into a pear tree orchard where he lives, he now supplies a women called, Penny Macintosh with pears to sell at the markets in London and Johanna never wants to go near the house again after the misfortune that found her in her years behind its walls. Mr Todd fears that years of trauma may have affected Johanna's mind as she spends most of her time in parks singing about finches and nightingales and talking to unresponsive birds.

Toby is locked in a large, metal cage in the sewer below the pie shop's bake house as a punishment for trying to kill Mr. Todd and is fed on leftover scraps from the pies.

Needless to say Mrs Lovett's Meat Pie Emporium is still running, Sweeney still butchers his costumers but, so as not to ruin the 'Best Pies in London' reputation they use a blend of beef as well.

It is one year after Sweeney Todd's 'death' and no-one was ever convicted of the murders of Judge Turpin and Beadle Bamford and the inhabitants of London are completely unaware of Sweeney Todd's shaving method and Mrs. Lovett's secret recipe.
