A/N: Well, hello again my dear readers. A little late Christmas present to my fellow Christmas celebrators. Now,this is the last chapter that contains letters, -gasp- but don't panic, it is not the end of the story. After this chapter, this story will become a bit more AU, just a warning. Next chapter, I will address whether or not I will be continuing on. Apart from that, thank you all for reading.

Enjoy :)

Rumpelstiltskin,

The Queen was gloating today, when she came to visit me.

She said that she got it. She was so happy that she got this thing. What does she have, Rumpelstiltskin? And why is it so important?

Is it the Dark Curse she was speaking of before? The one she wanted to learn about through me. The one I was suppose to know about but still don't? Is that what she now has? I bet it is.

She said that I failed, and that you failed too. She says that everyone has failed, but her. Failed at what, I am not sure, but I suppose it still has something to do with what she has newly attained. She said that we should have protected it better.

She was laughing at me again. So triumphant and glorious. She tells me that I am nothing but a valuable chess piece in the game you play. She says you should have kept me safe. You should have protected me. And you should have, but I should have fought too.

Maybe if I had convinced you that you loved me. Maybe if I would've refused to leave. I could have be braver. I could be with you right now, safe and warm in the Dark Castle, yet here I am, trapped in this cell. Cold, and alone.

I hate it here. I hate being alone. I hate being without you. I hate her, and her triumphant laugh. I hate the cold and the dark. I hate it.

This is another chance for me to be brave, yet I am so extremely scared.

Save me, Rumpelstiltskin, I do not want to be one of her chess pieces any longer. I want to be with you.

Forever yours,

Belle

Rumpelstiltskin,

I must write fast, for there is something coming. A dark, frightening cloud is looming. It won't be long until it gets here, won't be long until it takes over. Consumes us.

Is this the Dark Curse? She spoke of it, said she found it, said it was coming. It must be, it simply has to be. This is no normal storm, no, that dark cloud is swimming with magic, I recognize it.

She said the curse would banish us, take to some far off place where none of us are happy. Where we are frozen and forgot. Helplessly cursed. Where are we going? Where is she taking us?

You need to help me. Break the curse, Rumpelstiltskin, please break the curse. I know you can do it, I know you can. You have to.

She says our happy endings will be taken away. But what happy ending for me? I am not happy here, maybe in this new world, we will be together.

She says that we will forget. I will not forget you, I will not, I promise. I mustn't forget you, I just can't. Please don't forget me. Don't forget me, I won't forget you.

It is coming. It is getting closer. It is almost upon me. Help me Rumpelstiltskin. Save me. I will not forget, I will not forger about our forever. You promised forever.

I love you. I truly do and I know you love me. And if all else fails, you must know th-

Rumpelstiltskin,

I awoke in a cell that I did not recognize.

This is the curse, isn't it? It is the same, but I feel different. I didn't forget you, I promised that I wouldn't.

My head hurts. It pounds and screams and yells inside my brain. I don't not know what is happening. I think I have finally gone crazy. Or maybe this is the curse. It is as if there are two different people inside my head competing for control.

I'm Belle. I am a princess. My mother became sick a died when I was young. I have one sibling. I love to read. My sister is Sera. I am friends with Snow White and Prince Eric. I am brave. I made a deal with Rumpelstiltskin to save my land from the ogre wars. I fell in love with him, he fell in love with me. I chipped a cup. The Queen captured me and locked me away. He still has the chipped cup. I, I...I.

I'm Isabelle French. I am the daughter of a florist. My mother got in a car accident when I was young. I love to read. My sister is Violet. I don't have many friends. I am the crazy girl. I worked in 's shop to help pay my fathers debt. I fell in love with him, I think he loved me. I tried to comit suicide, I have two worlds in my head. My father locked me up. I am the crazy girl.

I am crazy. I am crazy. I am not crazy. I am not!

It is real, and you are real, and one day we will read these together and I will know that it is real. I have all the letters with me. It is real, I know it is. It has to be. This can't be it. This can't be all there is, there has to be more.

You need to break the curse. Help break the curse Rumpelstiltskin. Help me. Please help me.

Isabelle French loves , but I, Belle, love you Rumpelstiltskin.
