10. Note

My dear readers,

I need to inform you that I'm ending the "Dark" series. I'm just not invested in it anymore.

I know you all must despise me, and I won't blame you if you want to send me many angry reviews and messages. However, I'll write out what happens in the rest of the series so you all can still see what happens.

CHAPTER 10

Belle suffers from stomach pains and Babette comes into her room to torment her. Cogsworth tells Adam about what Babette has done, and Adam breaks out of his cell and goes into Belle's room. She is about to die, but Adam saves her with True Love's Kiss.

It also breaks the curse that Babette placed on him and Lumiere.

CHAPTER 11

Lumiere, having been turned back, grabs a sword and lowers it at Babette. She taunts him and dares him to kill her. She uses his hesitation to escape in a swirl of smoke.

BOOK 3: THE DARK END

Belle and Adam capture Babette and prepare to have her executed for what she did. But Lumiere feels remorse for what happened and offers Babette a second chance before her execution. Babette agrees, feigning regret when all she really wants is to avoid death.

Through a series of events, Babette ends up redeeming herself and falls back in love with Lumiere. They end up finally marrying.

I hope this satisfies you all. Again, I apologize greatly for this. But I am working on the book I've been writing for years and I've really wanted to focus on it.

I love you all,
