"sssh... Annie, don't cry. Everything is going to be alright." smiled Hans with a croaking voice to his granddaughter. With a trembling hand the former prince wiped the tear away from her cheek.

"But grandad..I don't want you to go!" said Annie with big red eyes.

"Me neither, sunshine.. but that's life. Everything has it's time." She was the only person to whom he couldn't lie to. She was too pure, to innocent to be changed by the monster that he was.

"Grandad?"

Hans' eyes flickered open once more, feeling already Death at his door. He wouldn't give in.. not yet anyway. Everyone had to bow down to him, kings and beggar's alike. he had to be strong, for her sake. "Yes, sunshine?"

"Are you going to see grandmother? Can you give her my greetings?"

Hans gulped to keep his tears at bay when Annie mentionned his late wife. She had passed away 15 years ago, but it still felt as yesterday. "I...I.. don't think I will see her, Annie" whispered Hans with trembling voice.

"Why not? you two belong together, always and forever!"

Hans burst now fully into tears and his vision blurred. Vaguely he saw a shadow come towards him, and he recoiled before realizing it was his granddaughter hugging him. "I've done horrible things, Annie... Your grandmother... she saw the man I used to be, and tried to pray as much to God to forgive me. But I don't think I have ever repented in His eyes."

"Then God is just terrible!" exclaimed Annie in anger. "I don't care what you did! you're still my grandfather!"

"Oh sunshine... don't say that!" said Hans with a reprimanding tone. However, the trembling in his voice didn't make it that convincing. "God... just makes the rules of what is right and wrong. I didn't follow them.. and what happens when you don't follow them?"

"You'll get punished?" Annie's eyes went watery at the thought of seeing her grandfather being punished.

Hans blinked, and blinked once more when he saw a black figure standing at the door... Death was getting impatient. "Sunshine.. Granddad has to sleep right now..."

His son had to get his granddaughter out, kicking and screaming at the top of her lungs on how unfair God was to him. the former prince swallowed as he saw the figure come forward. Oh, yes he was afraid of what will be done to him in the Afterlife. The Scythe blinked in the descending light, and his breath went quicker, and the sweat formed on his brow..

"Stop!"

Hans shifted his head to the left, to see a familiar face in the seat next to him. "Have you come to gloat, Queen Elsa?" smirked Hans to the winged woman. "Well, you certainly have the first row seat for the event of the century!" Hans laughed hallowly, but coughed when his breath stocked.

"Your granddaughter..." spoke Elsa as the black figure kept itself at bay by her glow.

"I swear if you'll hunt her for my sins, I'll go out of Hell myself to rip you apart!" threatened Hans as he tried to get upright. He failed however and another coughing fit took hold of him.

Elsa stayed quiet for a while. After her death 20 years ago, she had begun to hunt the prince in his dreams for what he had done to her sister. At first she relished in it to see her former enemy crumble under the weight of Anna's feelings of betrayal and pain.. untill she realized she began to affect the other family members of the prince as well. It didn't do her much.. untill she gave Hans' wife a heart attack, causing her to die...

She had never forgiven herself for that; even when her sister and Kristoff told her that she was in her right, she couldn't keep the memory out of her killing an innocent human.

still the guilt ate at her, and she began to talk to him, even when he didn't want to hear her. It took 3 years for Hans to break that silence. It took another 5 years for them to become... friends in a way. And after another 2 years... they fell in love.

Which was actually creepy to think about it since Hans was already in his 60's and Elsa forever her 21 year old self.

"I will not hunt one member of your family, nor your descendants.." spoke Elsa softly.

"Thank you" breathed Hans out with a pained gasp. "But still... why are you here?"

"You know why..."

"Elsa... no... stop." gasped Hans in more shorter gasps as Death came closer and closer. "You don't need to do this! Your family is waiting in Heaven for you to come back!"

"I don't belong there." said Elsa as she took Hans' aged hand in hers. "I killed an innocent human. How is that I get to stay in paradise, while you simply did what you needed to do to stop me?"

"It is still done. And even good intentions can lead to Hell." whispered Hans as the sleep began to take over. The prince's heart stopped for eternity at that moment and Elsa watched as Hans' ghostly figure left its body. as it did so, the prince's appearance turned into its 23-year old self once more.

Immediately, dark shackles appeared arround the prince's wrists and the floor vaporised, revealing the firey depths of Hell below. The prince shuddered at the tormented screams he could even hear from such distance. Soon, he would join them in eternal punishement.

"NO!"

As he fell down, Hans could hear Elsa scream and he looked up - or where-ever up is - to see Elsa fly downwards with him.

"What are you doing?! Get out of here!" screamed Hans as Elsa took hold of him.

"No, I have as much sins on my back as you!" retorted Elsa as she fought against the prince's attempt to untangle themselves.

"Don't be such a heroic idiot, and get to your family."

"You are my family, Hans!"

Shock went through the prince and he wanted to retort when the fire burned his ghostly form to crisp. He was dying, being reborn, and dying again... and this was only the first part of his punishement.

They crashed down, and Death released Hans from his shackles, knowing full well that the prince couldn't escape without wings like Elsa's. His unseen eyes narrowed to the Angel next to the condemned prince: He didn't like when things didn't go by the Book. However, every entity was bound by choice, something He had to bow down to.

So the silent figure vanished to do his eternal work once more on Earth, leaving the two on the firey pits of Hell.

"My my... what have we here..."

Hans shook like a leaf when the Judge Minos came forward. He would condemn which Circle he would be put to... and he already knew which one.

Treachery. The lowest Circle of all...

Suddenly Hans felt himself being roughly taken by the collar, and felt Elsa's lips upon his. He felt her cold fingers roaming arround his neck and shoulders and he couldn't help but lean in as well.

"uhm... Greed... Anger... Treachery... But, I see those came all from Lust..." Minos scratched his beard at such a complicated condemned. His eyes then locked on Elsa's burning wings. "Ah.. falling Angel, that explains it."

Hans screamed when he was thrown down the abyss but sighed in relief when he felt Elsa take him safely downwards. All arround him he could feel the aroused noises of succubus and he blushed severly. "Why.. why did you do that?!"

"I couldn't just see you fall all the way to Treachery. Lust is one of the furthest Circles of Hell. Its.. the least I could do, although I wish I could do more."

"You've already done enough... now please... for my sanity, return to your family." begged Hans.

Elsa sighed. "Fine. But, I want to have one favor in return."

"Which is?"

"When you return to Earth in one of the next months... give me some... demonstration of your work." whispered Elsa in his ear.

Hans frowned, but then smirked at her request. Who said Angels were all Innocent?
