Chapter 4
The Past
Sadly, I don't own Frozen. But it would be fun to! :)
The rowboat rocked backwards and would have fallen into the sea if it wasn't for the horse that had hit her. It put its hoof in the boat to keep it steady. "Hey!" Elsa yelled in annoyance at the rider of the horse. This was going perfect, as soon as she gets out of the castle shes knocked down by a horse. She brushed the hair out of her eyes and looked at the rider in anger. Then her anger faded as she looked at his face. He looked amazing. He was tall and slender, with auburn hair and sideburns. "I'm so sorry, are you hurt?" The guy said and she blushed, trying to act cool. She was nervous around these kind of people. God, he looked gorgeous. She just hoped he wouldn't shut her out as well as Anna.
"I'm.. um fine." She said, hoping she didn't say something to offend him. He smiled at her and got off his horse, stepping into the boat and held his hand out for her. "Oh, thank goodness." She reached out to take his hand and stood up, their eyes meeting and they shared a moment. The man snapped out of it and realized how rude he had been for not offering her his name, so he bowed and said. "Prince Hans of the Southern Isles." Elsa snapped out of it, he was a prince? That would explain why he looked so posh. She smiled at Hans, curtseying. "Princess Elsa of Arendelle." His face lit up. "Princess..? My lady." He bowed again. Elsa couldn't help herself, she smiled again. No man had been so polite to her before, but then again. The only man she'd ever met before was her father.
Then the horse bowed as well, lifting its hoof off the boat and it tipped backwards, sending Hans toppling onto Elsa. "Oh.. Hi again." She said a bit nervous as he was so close. She liked him a lot. Then the horse realized what it had done and slammed it's hoof down on the boat. And this sent Elsa toppling onto Hans. "Oh boy.." He exclaimed, feeling ashamed for what was happening, and embarrassed. She looked at him and tried to resolve the situation before it got out of hand. "Ok, this is awkward.. Not that your awkward, but just because we're.. Your gorgeous." Then she blinked. "Wait, what?" Why had she just said that? Oh god, this was getting out of hand.
Hans looked at her, maybe he'd be able to sort this out better. "I'd like to formally apologize for hitting the princess of Arendelle with my horse.. and for every moment after." This made her eyes widened. He must think she was that princess. She quickly spoke up. "No, no. It's fine. I'm not that princess. But if you'd hit my sister Anna, I don't know what would have happened." She looked at him and smiled. "But luckily for you, Its just me." He looked at her and smiled, amused. "Just you?" She smiled back and relax. This was going better than she thought it would. But then the bell rang and she realized what it meant. "The bells.. The coronation.. Oh, I need to go. It was nice meeting you though!" She gave him a wave and ran off, leaving him and his horse on his own. He waved to her as she left, and so did the horse. "Oh no." He said as he felt the boat tip, and he took as breath as the boat fell in, sending him tumbling into the water. He went under and he swam to the surface, gasping for breath. That girl was so lovely, it almost made him laugh at what had happened. It was just like a prank his brothers had done to him 4 years ago...
4 years ago, in the Southern Isles.
Hans walked through the quiet halls of his families castle, he felt so lonely these days. Three of his brother thought it would be funny to start ignoring him, it had been going for a year now. He was getting sick of it. He watched as his brothers Daniel, Kenny and Aidan walked into the corridor and stopped. Hans walked up to them, his anger rising in his chest. "Ok guys, this isn't funny anymore. Quit it!" He yelled at them, but it didn't do anything. Aidan looked around and frowned. "Did you guys here anything?" Daniel and Kenny shook there heads and they shrugged. "It must be the wind." All three of them started to walk off and Hans glared at them, walking after them and waved his hands about. "There's no wind in here you idiots! It me, Hans! Your brother!" He still got no response.
He hated being the youngest brother for two reasons. One, because he'd never get the throne that he wanted so dear and two, because all his brothers made fun of him and treated him like a child. Did they think it was funny? Or where they all just plain dumb? He sighed, thinking he needed some fresh air. He walked slowly out the castle too the docks, sitting on a bench and rubbed his eyes. At least he couldn't be hard on all of them, his eldest brother George, was like a father to the rest of them. Whenever his mother and father were away George would run the kingdom, probably so he was ready when he did become king.
But even George made fun of him in a way. He'd hear George talking about him to his self when George was alone. He'd say things like "Poor Hans, is he ever going to grow up?" or "He'll never learn." This angered him. He didn't need George to worry about him, he could take care of himself. Why should he care what Hans does or doesn't do? He should be worrying about himself. When mother and father died George would be the one forced to take over. Hans would storm off whenever his brothers mocked him like that, when it seemed like they were helping him. But he knew, he'd seen it all before. Aidan was the second oldest, he should have been setting an example with George. But now he was walking past Hans like he was apart of the wall!
He sighed, getting up from the bench, watching the people getting off the boats and boarding onto them. He walked alone the dock until he heard the sound of hooves and he frowned, stopping and looked around. He saw two horses galloping towards him and his eyes widened, but he wasn't quick enough and they slammed into him, making them step back. His feet were inside a rowboat now and he was still off balance. It started to tip and he breathed. "No no no no." One of the horses hoofs slammed down on the rowboats inside and he cried out in shock as the force of it sent him falling over. He heard the sound of laughter and he growled, looking for the culprits. His face fell when he saw them, Flint and William. He was really annoyed now, this was the second prank they did today. Flint and William were to twelfth and eleventh in line to the throne, so Hans was the only brother they could pick on.
Flint laughed. "Good aim, I think we got a whole in one, Will." He got off his horse and smiled, walking up to Hans, laughing harder when he saw the look on Hans face. He looked like he was about to blow. "Did we blow your top little brother? Sorry 'bout that, here I'll give you a hand." Flint held out a hand to his brother, but stayed outside of the rowboat. Hans reached up to take his and but flint took his hand away. William's horse lifted its hoof up and the rowboat tipped, knocking Hans over again. Then the horse slammed its hoof down again and sent him tumbling again. William and Flint laughed harder. "Ahh, this is priceless! Best prank ever!" Flint got back on his horse and William's horse took its hoof up again. Both boys started to ride away, laughing.
Hans tried to clamber out of the boat in time but it was too late, the rowboat was already rocking backwards. He cried out trying to grap at something but he fell into the water with a splash. He went under water and he gasped as he breached the surface. He clambered onto the docks and watched his brothers riding out of the docks. He was drenched. His anger was building. "Those guys are going to pay when I'm older. I'll make sure of it."
A/N: I hope you guys liked this chapter. I wanted to do a chapter with a bit of Hans' past in it, so this is it :) I hope you like it and if you do, I might do some more. I still need ideas for what happens with Elsa at the end.
Review
Shinigamilover2: Ohhh.. That sounds good! I think I might use that :) Thanks for the idea!
FrozenDaily: Yeah, sorry about that. I wish I could have made that part better. Marshmallows! XD I love it! I'll add it too my idea bank for Olaf. And I might still make Kristoff a villian. I haven't really decided on anything like that yet. So Hans might not be the villian after all... :)
