"Nothing's gonna harm you, not while I'm around, Demons are prowling everywhere, nowadays, I'll send 'em howling, I don't care, I got ways."

Tobias dropped the ruby stained razor shocked at what he did. He, Tobias Ragg, had just slit the throat of the man he feared, Todd, Sweeney Todd. Backing away slowing he looked towards his left to the oven walking towards it he could smell the burning flesh of the woman who treated him with kindness, Mrs. Lovett. As tears fell like a light summer's rain from his eyes, he wanted so badly to open the oven as if he could just pull her out and bring her back to life. He shook his head shaking the thought away, backing up slowing he turned on his heels and ran out for the bake house away from the nightmare never once looking back at Fleet Street.

The days started to mix together Tobias wasn't sure how long it has been since he had anything to eat or drink. He couldn't even sleep for that night was huanting his dreams. The cold streets of London were cruel as winter was apporching. But still he sang softly to himself, "I can do it. Put me to it. Show me somethin - I can overcome." The wind picked up making his teeth chatter for a moment, "Being close and being clever ain't like being true I don't need to, I would never hide a thing from you, like some." He wiped a tear fro his cheek, "I miss you ma'am." More tears started to fall from his tired blood shot eyes like rain flooding a drain pipe, the tears felt almost frozen against his cheeks as the wind once again picked up sending shivers up his spine, this made him cry even more knowing that now he was truly alone in this dark world. He found an empty alley way, leaning his back on one of the sides of a brick wall of a shop he slide down, bring his knees up to his chest. Resting his arms around them burying his head in he heard a very familiar voice cut through the cold, "Nothin's gonna harm you. Not while I'm around. Nothing's gonna harm you, darling Not while I'm around." Tobias shot his head up and looked around but saw no one. Tobias grabbed his head in agony, "She's not here anymore Tobias, get a hold of yourself!" He thought to himself. Warmness then wrapped around his cold body, "Nothin's gonna harm you. Not while I'm 's gonna harm you , Tobias while I'm around." It was her voice! Closing his eyes as he leaned into the warmth, he whispered, "Is it really you Ma'am?" When she spoke her vice was calm, "Hush now darlin' I'm here now. Nothing is gonna harm you anymore." A small smile graced his lips,"Ma'am, are you gonna stay with me?" Tobias asked as he was drifting in and out of eternal sleep. She held him close,"Yes love, I'm gonna stay with you now and forever, I'm not gonna let anyone harm you. " She whispered brushing his hair gently with her hand placing a kiss on his forehead.
