Calypso and Callisto
Hey ya'll! This is Miranda working in place of Marie. Marie is currently working on a British Literature paper, so she doesn't have time to work on this. So I will be doing this with some of Marie's ideas.
This is our first attempt at a PotC fanfic. Marie and I had this little night where we just kinda sat back and watched the first two. We haven't seen the third one yet unfortunately. This is started in DMC, but we're also going to have some hints of AWE in this, from what we've read. What if Calypso had a younger sister named Callisto? Calypso had Davy Jones whereas Callisto will have Lord Cutler Beckett. Yeah, it's a Beckett/OFC fic. He's cute!
The summary: Lord Cutler Beckett asks Will Turner to bring the sea goddess Callisto back to him before going to find Jack Sparrow. When Will does, Callisto is angry at first but as time passes, she softens up. As the days pass, both Beckett and Callisto find that they are beginning to fall for each other. But what happens when Callisto's love for the sea gets in the way? Will she choose Beckett...or the sea?

Background: Callisto was only 11 in human years when her parents were brutally murdered by Calypso, who was 19 in human years. Calypso tortured Callisto and left a crab-shaped brand on her arm. After being tortured for nearly two days, Callisto was thrown out by Calypso, who then told her that she was not strong enough to defeat her. Callisto has made it her goal in life to kill Calypso and avenge her parents' deaths.
Will Turner was confused. He had just been dragged from the prison and brought before Lord Cutler Beckett just so that he could get something from Jack Sparrow! This was an outrage. But before he could say anything, Beckett began speaking.
"There's another thing that comes to mind. Before you do this, I want you to go and search out a certain person. A woman by the name of Callisto, the sea goddess."
Will gave Beckett an odd look. "And how exactly am I supposed to find her?"
"Don't worry. She isn't that hard to miss. There is an old crone who lives in Port Royal who claims she met her and earned her favors. Go to her and if you can persuade her enough, she will tell you how to find her," the lord replied, turning to Will, his arms crossed over his chest.
Mercer came over and unlocked Will's shackles, allowing him to move. "Go now." Will looked from Mercer to Beckett to the balcony. Silently, he left the room.
Will stood before The Sea Captain, a well-known tavern in Port Royal. This was where Beckett had said the crone was. He entered and found many respectable gentlemen and pirates as well. There was a dim corner of the room and there sat the crone, holding a glass of brandy in her gnarled hand. Will approached cautiously and sat down.
"I apologize for this, but may I ask you some questions about the sea goddess Callisto?" The crone's head shot up at the mention of the goddess's name.
"Me name be Arabelle. What ye need to know?" she said.
"I need to know where she is," Will said. Arabelle looked around before leaning closer.
"Go to Isla Durme. Wait for a full moon and wait for the tide to break the shore. When that happens, Callisto will appear and dance upon the shore with her Naiads. The only way to capture her be to call her name and say durme durme. She will be able to be captured and brought to where ye want her. She will obey ye then," Arabelle said gently.
Will gave her a tiny smile and gave her two schillings. "Thank you for telling me all that."
Will was staring out at the island of Isla Durme, its beauty captivating his eyes. It was nighttime and he had been sailing for three days. He hoped that Arabelle hadn't misled him. The tide began to break the shore and he heard the singing of a young woman. Looking back, he saw the form of a woman rising onto the shore along with many male and female forms. All of them were dancing wildly, hair fanning out behind the females. Will took this as his chance. He sailed closer and yelled.
"Callisto!"
The dancing stopped and the group parted to a female. Will's eyes widened when he saw her. She was more beautiful than Elizabeth! Pale skin glowed in the soft moonlight.
"Durme, durme..." he said loud enough for her to hear. Callisto's body went rigid and she melted away, appearing on his boat next to him. He was shocked and stepped back a little. Up close, she was completely breathtaking. Blue eyes were set in a beautiful, yet childish face. Soft, smooth curves made up her entire body and chestnut hair reached down to her waist, just barely brushing her bottom. She bowed her head before him.
"What is it you want of me?" she said softly.
"I need to take you back to Lord Beckett so that I can rescue my fiance," Will said. Suddenly, he didn't want to give this beautiful goddess to Beckett. Who knew what he would do with her?
Callisto spread her arms in submission, looking back at her Naiads who stared at her with confusion. Will could feel her heart breaking; it hurt her to be separated from them. But he wanted to save Elizabeth and in order to do that, he had to give Callisto to Beckett. He let out the sails and they sailed off into the darkness.
Miranda: Well, that's it. Finally we're done with that!
Marie: Yeah, but don't you think you're going a little too fast Miranda?
Miranda: Yeah, but I really want to get to Beckett. He's so sexy!
Marie: Miranda, you say this almost every time we watch Dead Man's Chest! Don't repeat it!
Miranda: BECKETT'S SEXY! SAY IT WITH ME YA'LL!
