Summary: My rendition of an alternate universe-ish fic that poses the question, "What if that strange magical substance that flowed from the sky were to have a strange effect on Belle's eyes, thus causing her to go blind? And what exactly WAS that substance that came from the sky (besides the spell getting to be broken on the castle and its inhabitants)?" Enjoy my story! Please try to be kind with critique for this is my first attempt at a Beauty and the Beast fanfic! Thank you!
Never had it rained harder than this night. Everything went by in a nasty blur for Belle; from when she raced back to the castle to now as she kneeled down next to the Beast's sad wounded form. Belle wore a horribly worried look upon her face, "Beast…please don't leave me!"
Rain mixed with tears on both Belle and the Beast's faces, "Belle…you came back…"
Belle paused then managed to bring a light filled smile to her features, "O-of course I came back…" her eyes drifted over his bloodied form, "Oh…none of this would've happened if I had just…this is all my fault!"
Beast brought a large paw up to cradle her cheek, "Maybe…maybe it's b-bet-" he let out a painful cough, "better this way…"
"No, no, don't say that…don't talk like that…" desperation was crystal clear in her voice and her bright eyes.
Then what she and he completely thought would be the Beast's last words became spoken, "At least…I was able to see you…once last time…"
Everything became completely silent as the Beast's raised paw slipped from Belle's face and claimed the floor as a friend.
Belle's eyes grew wide with horror, "Beast…?" she then broke into a sad and desperate sob, "No…no…please…please don't leave me," she threw herself over his large torso, "…I love you…"
The moment those magical words left her lips was the moment when the last petal fell from the enchanted rose. And that was also the moment when the mystical shower of magic fell from the sky. Right before Belle's bright brown eyes her beloved Beast was rising from where he was resting and began to be engulfed in a very bright light. It was then that Belle's eyes began to burn.
"What…wha-…ahh!" her hand flew up to cover her tightly shut eyes before blacking out into oblivion.
