as Cassandra and Honeymaren lead the way anna start to think "could it be true, could my father's ghost be in the castle." though, her father's ghost was haunting the castle... well she needed to see for herself.
"One of these days, you're going to have to use your father's sword."
"Where are Bernardo and Marcellus." she asked then Bernardo ran towards them
"your Highness!"
And there he is, Bernardo rushing towards them. The guard seemed a little shaken up, Anna not surprised considering what he been through. The redhead was just very relieved to see that he was alright.
"Bernardo!" Anna cheered, and then hugging her guard. "Thank goodness." then she noticed that Marcellus was not here, "where is Marcellus?" she asked, then Bernardo said "The big baby went back home to mommy.", "Okay then." Anna said,
Bernardo sighed, hugging the princess back. "I'm so glad you came. Tonight had just been so crazy."
"It's alright, old friend, you have nothing to worry about," Anna assured him. Then she put on a more serious expression. "What's this I hear about a ghost with the face of my father?"
Bernardo sighed. "Some servants got spooked by a ghost. Marcellus, Cassandra and Honeymaren and I went to find it... and it looked exactly like your dad wearing one of his old uniforms."
"He even called you out by name," Honeymaren added.
"My name?" Anna wondered.
"Yeah he was screaming out your name." Cassandra said,
"It doesn't matter Anna responded. "Something has called me here and I want answers. Even if it isn't my father, I have to find out what it is."She looked at Bernardo. "Where did you find this ghost, Bernardo?
then they heard the same voice.
Anna...
The Princess turned around, hearing the strange voice. It was weak and very quiet, nearly a whisper.
Anna... you came...My...baby...girl
Anna listened closely. The voice sounded a little louder, easier to make out. Something was indeed calling to her... and it was a voice that was almost familiar, but Anna wasn't quite sure.
"You... what are you?"
Don't you recognise me, Anna?
The voice was a little louder that time... and Anna's eyes widened. She recognised that voice instantly. All the bedtime stories she'd read as a child, the words of kindness when Anna was worried about the people fearing to come out as a lesbian, the confidence and promise that he'd always be with her.
It was indeed the voice of her father.
"Father! show Yourself to me!" Anna shouted,
At the centre of the wind, she saw a faint glow... as the spectral form of her father emerged. Pure white and slightly translucent, the ghost approached her, Anna seeing his eyes glowing a soft blue. The wind slowly died down and hovering above the mist, stood the king.
"Father..." Anna whispered.
"Do you still need proof, Anna?" her father wondered, his voice sounding more or less exactly as when he was alive, albeit with a slight echo.
Anna got back on her own feet, gazing at him. She was a little more convinced... but she still needed proof. This still could have been some sort of elaborate trick. "T-tell me something only he would know."
"You are deeply in love with Pitch's daughter Elsa," the ghost said. "You told me and your mother in good confidence and we kept your secret."
Anna blinked in surprise. "It... it is you."
The ghost smiled kindly. "Do you still doubt me, daughter?"
"No... but how can this be possible?" Anna asked.
The king slowly walked around Anna, the princess continuing to stare at the spirit of her father. Even in death, he still seemed to carry himself with the elegance and grace one would expect from a sovereign of Arendelle.
"then why aren't you in the afterlife?" Anna asked
the ghost looked at her sadly.
"my daughter i'm stuck in purgatory." He said
anna gasp then she looked at the ghost sadly "Oh, Father... I'm so sorry. This... existence must be torture for you." She said
"It is Anna. You have no idea how much pain I feel just being this way, torn between life and death," the King told her. "But you can free me, Anna. You can save me."
"I...free you? Why?"
His countenance grew dark and for a brief moment, Anna saw a skull behind his visage. The face of the spirit contorted in rage.
"I was betrayed...by a man I thought I could trust" His voice started to grow shaky and his hands turned into fists.
"What do you mean? What happened to you father?" Anna asked.
"My... my brother!" he snarled, his eyes turning red. "He killed me... he's stolen my kingdom... my wife! He must pay!"
"What? Uncle Runeard?" Anna wondered. "But he is a kind man. He has always been good to Arendelle."
"A ruse, a ruse!" The king argued. "He hated me and he hated you deeply! That is why he killed me! To take everything for himself!"
"Does...does mother know?"
The red glow faded from Agnarr's eyes, and he sighed. Panted, trying to calm down. "No... no, she does not."
Anna inwardly sighed in relief, mainly that her father was calm again. "Then... perhaps I can bring her here and you can tell her."
"No!" Agnarr shouted, his eyes briefly flaring red again. "I can't let her see me this way!... she's already been hurt enough."
"I'm sorry..." Anna whispered.
"No... it is alright," Agnarr told her. "I miss your mother dearly... but if you help me pass on, you'll be saving everyone in Arendelle from my monster of a brother."
"How? How do I save Arendelle?!"
"You must find a way to get Runeard to confess to his crimes publicly."
"There is no way I could do that," Anna argued. "He is king and he has put many of his close allies on his new royal council."
"Then... you must avenge me by bloodier means," Agnarr grimly stated, his eyes starting to shift to being red again. "Anna... you must kill him."
"What?"
Agnarr's eyes flared red again. "Kill him! Let that traitor burn for what he did to me! I WANT THAT SON OF A BITCH TO DIE!
"Father!"
Agnarr calmed down, sighing. His whole body was shaking from the rage. He knelt down, beside a large rock. Anna just stared, wishing there was something she could do. She couldn't let her father be this way, a once-great king, now nothing more than an echo of his former self."I... I'm sorry... being bound as a spirit has taken a great toll on my mind... what's left of it."
Anna couldn't help but feel guilty. Perhaps... perhaps he was right. Runeard had secretly been amassing power for himself and there was the matter of how he seemed to address her at the wedding earlier. Her father wouldn't lie to her... and Anna knew that if Arendelle was in danger, so was her beloved elsa the woman she wanted to married,
"I will avenge you father," Anna promised. "By any means necessary."
Agnarr's eyes glowed. "Good, good..." His eyes flared red again. "NOW GO! KILL THE BASTARD THAT ENDED MY REIGN!"
"I WILL! FOR YOU FATHER. I WILL KILLED THAT BASTARD FOR YOU!" Anna Yelled,
"THAT'S MY GIRL!!! GO KILL THAT BASTARD FOR ME, FOR YOUR KINGDOM!!!!! FOR ME!! KILL HIM FOR ME!!!! AND CLAIM YOUR BRITHRIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!" Agnarr yelled, as he disappeared, anna looked at her friends but to her surprised to see they were hugging each other tightly,
"w-w-w-well-t-t-t-t-that-s-s-s-something-y-y-y-y-you-d-d-d-don't-s-see e-e-e-everday." Cassandra said scared, "y-y-yeah i-i a-a-a-agreed." Bernardo said, "I WANT MY MOMMY!!!!!" Honeymaren cried, "ME TOOOO!!!" Cassandra and Bernardo cried.
