I'm a Monster ~ Frozen Hans Love Story (On hold)

29 ~ Second Chances

Agnete's POV

I kept crying until there was no tears left. Geir hold me tight the whole time trying his best to comfort me still not fully succeeding. Even when I only trembled in the loss of tears he kept caressing my back listening every cry escaping my lips.

"Agnete, could you please tell me what's wrong?" he nuzzled his head closer to my ear.

My breath was still uneven and I couldn't say a word.

"You know you can tell me anything, right?" Geir continued after realizing I wouldn't say anything.

I was hardly able to nod, tears forming in the corners of my eyes once again.

He smiled, I could feel it against the sensitive skin of my neck.

"I let them to die", my voice was quiet yet so meaningful.

"What do you mean?" he asked after a while. I could hear from the tone of his voice he thought what I said was ridiculous.

"I could've helped them but I didn't. I could've stopped Elsa", I assumed Geir had no idea what I was talking about but it ended up he knew about the execution. So I told him the whole story apart from Hans's confession. I wasn't ready to speak about it, not yet.

~~~~~~

It had been over an hour since Anna and Kristoff left and I started to panic. "They're dead", I whispered to myself looking at my shaking hands disgusted as if I had their blood all over them. I know it was insane to think like that but I was there, I could've interposed it.

"You cannot blame yourself. You did all you could at that state of mind", Geir suddenly spoke out making me figure out I had said it out loud.

"But I should've done more. And it's late now..."

"Stop that!" he gripped my upper arm and pulled me to face him, "Look at me, sister."

I rolled my eyes before meeting his sky blue ones, "You can't change it, no one can. And now I'll never get my second change", my voice broke in the end.

"For the millionth time: we can't know it yet", he was surprisingly calm. "It's only a matter of time when they'll be back and tell us what happened. There's no point to speculate it before."

"But-" I started but he interrupted me telling he would take me into my chamber to clean myself up. I burrowed my head on my hands not wanting to know what I looked like after sobbing like a little baby. I'd rather not to cry again so I kept quiet and kindly followed on his tail.

Reaching the door of my room he opened it saying, "I'll make sure you'll be the first one knowing what happened, okay."

I nodded trying to slide through the doorway but he blocked my way still having something to say.

"He'll be okay. I know that's the last thing you'd want to hear - even if you're denying it - but I can somehow feel it. And I promise I'll try to be a better-"

"Wow, Geir! I got it, please just... just go", I pushed myself past him and shut the door behind leaning on it. Geir had never been sentimental type of guy and that's why his sudden outburst got me completely out of guard. He had to have noticed the situation was one of the hardest I had ever faced.

That's because you've never been in love before... a little yet so familiar voice echoed in my head.

~~~~~~

I didn't realize I'd fell asleep before someone rushed into my room making me jump out of my bed. Raising my head I saw Anna before me.

"Agnete, are you okay?" she sounded rather worried taking my hand gently on hers.

Fixing my posture I nodded my head, "Yeah... I think I am. You just scared me."

"Oh goodness, I'm sorry!" she exclaimed, "Your brother just told me to come to you immediately so I did, literally... I have some news." the tone of her voice grew serious.

I swept the smile off my face too, "I need you to tell me."

Anna simply nodded, "Of course. You're kind of like the key factor in this... however, there's not everything right with my sister. Unfortunately, we only now found out. You know I would do anything for Elsa and that's why I decided to give her a second chance. But when it comes to-"

"Anna!" I cut off her rambling, "I'd want to know what happened to Disa and Hans."

"Oh, yes naturally", she stated as if the idea of telling me only then pop into her mind, "They're both fine, we made it just in time", Anna said and was about to continue the lecture about Elsa when I embraced her.

"You have no idea how terrified I was not knowing the answer", I sang out, "If they hadn't survived, I'd have always threatened myself as a murderer... I left them there and went to get you, remember?"

"Oh Agnete! It wasn't your fault at all", she smiled at me warmly. "You did the right thing, Elsa is more than hard to convince, you know? No don't cry, it's okay."

I hadn't realized tears were rolling down my face before she mentioned it, "It's just so relieving", sighing I wiped the tears off. I'd told myself not to cry anymore but it seemed to be a broken promise already. Nevertheless, I didn't mind thinking about how they were alive... how he was alive...

Only a few hours later;

Anna's POV

"And that, my loyal citizens, means that you'll have a new ruler for the time we'll be gone", I announced from the balcony of the castle, "There is no need to worry, you are going to like them - a lot. Please welcome my official deputy, a temporary Queen of Arendelle and my very old friend princess Agnete of Northern Kingdom!" I theatrically showed my hand to the side to make some room to Agnete. 

It took some time to get her ready after explaining the plan but it was all worth it because I couldn't imagine a better fill-in than her. Looking at her waving to the crowd, charming them immediately made me feel very proud of that decision.
