Chapter One

The breeze shifts, a sudden, violent jerking motion turned the flags of port Gattis in from sea, an eerie uproar, then nothing…everything, still once more.

"What peculiar whether….don't you think Arjuna?" The Governor moved away from his bedroom window, turning his attention to the young servant girl, Arjuna, who stood insecurely at his bedroom doorway, fiddling with her wrists. Clearly her attention was one other matters.

"Girl did you hear me? You impudent cow!" he sneered, grabbing her wrist he jerked it sharply causing her to cry out, and bend to his will. "You will listen when I talk, and you will be punished for your rudeness tonight!" he hissed in her ear, the foul stench of his whine soaked breath made her skin crawl. "Is that understood?" he continued, allowing his gaze to slip from her face, down her slender neck, to her collar bone, and further down, making her turn a shade of red.

"Y-Yes sir!" she gasped, as he pressed is cold, greedy lips to her neck. Mmm, now--" he smirked, "--shall we continue your punishment?" His cheeky smile was revolting, his hands cold on her shoulders. "No---please.." her small meek cries were ignored as he worked his way to her mouth, crushing his thin lips to hers. Yet, like a gift from divine heaven, there came a raping at his door.

"Governor Morrick, Lady Morrick has retuned from her trip sir." Governor Morrick cursed under his breath, and pulled away from her, much to her relief. "Do not think you are so lucky." he laughed coldly, "We will continue this later, now get out of my sight." he swiftly cuffed her over the head once, and watched her scurry off down the hall, towards the servants quarters.

All was quiet on deck of the Black Pearl, aside from the deep snoring emitting from the crews quarters. Even Jack the monkey was lolled into a peaceful sleep, entranced by the beautiful calmness of the sea. And yet, there was a very unusual whisper over the water, a calming voice, a distant voice, chanting, almost rhythmic, the voice pulled Captain Jack from his sleep. His eyes fluttered open, adjusting to the dark surroundings of his quarters.

"Mmmm..Wh-Who's there?…" He Sat up, rubbing the sleep from his eyes. "Gibbs, if that you---" He stood, gaining his footing. "Gibbs?--" Jack waited a moment, there was no reply. "Of course not…if it were Gibbs, there would be bad singing." he flopped back to the bed. Just as he got comfortable, the voice came again, louder this time. "Jaaaaack!"

The way the phantom voice called his name, sent chills up his spine. Jack abruptly sat up, "Not Gibbs…." He hastily stood, dressing. Once he was dressed, and armed with his pistol, he slowly opened his door. At first, just enough to stick the barrel of the pistol out, then when there came no reactions to that, he slowly opened the door all the way. Prepared for anything, yet he saw nothing. The deck was deserted, this sight brought relief. "Nothing…Just as I thought." he lied to himself with a chuckle.

Jack took one last look around, just in case. He strode in his drunken way, to the edge looking over. The water was as smooth as glass, not a single ripple. "Unusual…" he stared at his reflection in the water. "Baah!" He turned back, "Silly superstitions got the best of ye Jack!" He laughed.

"JAAAAAAAAAACK SPARRROWWW!" The voice screamed, causing Jack Sparrow to freeze in his steps. A sudden, violent wind picked up, it tugged and pushed at the sails, causing the ship to jerk unexpectedly, waking the entire crew. Jack felt that chill run up his spine again, "Calypso?.." he slowly turned.

"Jack Sparrow.." The sea maiden herself stood, in front of the sea savvy Captain, her hands gently clasped together. Jack had to admit, he wasn't entirely sure if he were dreaming or not. " To what do I own this….midnight visit?" he smiled suavely. Calypso smiled her most sneaky smile, "The touch of destiny bring me hear tonight." Jack stared at her oddly, "Touch of destiny? I thought that was Will Turners thing?" He wiggled his singers. Calypso laughed, "Aah but Jack you too have a touch…"

"I do hope this is a good touch?" he looked a bit weary. "If you make it that way." In the blink of the eye, she now stood in front of Jack, so close he could feel her breath. "Jaaack---" she cooed, lulling Jack into seductive thoughts. "Yes?.." He smirked.

"Captain!---" Gibbs stopped short of his sentence upon seeing Calypso. "Dear mother of God--Calypso.." He stopped where he stood along with the rest of the crew. Calypso stared at the crew a moment, then turned back to Jack, "You and your crew will go to Barbados, and attack Port Gattis." she smiled, "There you will meet with your destiny. Weather you choose to except your fate, is up to you."

"Port Gattis?" Jack cocked his head to the side slightly, "What will I find there?" Calypso laughed, "You will know when you find it…." with those least of enlightening words, she disappeared, once again, the water was calm. Jack looked around for a moment, then turned to Gibbs. "You saw that right?"

"Aye Captain!" Gibbs dapped at his forehead with a handkerchief. "Ah, as I thought, it wasn't a dream." He turned, heading back to his quarters. "Ah, Captain! Yer orders sir?" Gibbs followed. "Jack stopped in the door way, for the longest moment he said nothing, then sighed, turning on his heels. "For now, we rest, in the morning, we continue our root to Tortuga." he smirked

"JACK SPARROW!!!!" Calypso's voice boomed over head like thunder, her will caused the entire ship to jerk forward, and the wind once again blew fiercely. "YOU WILL NOT DISOBEY THIS, IT IS DESTINY!!!" With that the wind suddenly shifted, jerking the ship, turning it. The wheel began spinning erratically, steering itself. The helmsman Cotton dared not try and regain control of the wheel as it spun faster and faster.

Jack yelped as he was thrown off balance. "Alright! Alright!!!!" He turned to Gibbs who was holding onto siding for dear life and the ship almost turned on its side. " Set a coarse for Port Gattis!!!!!" he shouted, hoping Calypso would hear his orders. Just as soon as he finished his sentence, the winds died, and the ship once again sat still, dead in the water. Jack stood, wobbling, he turned to Gibbs, who was also trying to regain his footing, "We set sail tonight…" Jack huffed. "Aye Captain…" Gibbs huffed back….

"Aah! My darling! Welcome home!" Governor Morrick greeted his wife with such fake, emotion. His wife, Lady Morrick was a tall, thin woman, almost as cold as he, if not colder to some. " I expect that the house was cleaned while I was away?" she ran her fingers over the wooden banister. "Of course dumpling, the servant girl took care of everything." Governor Morrick lead her upstairs. "Good, cause you know how I hate coming home to a dirty house." she sneered. "Of course love. Now let's get you to bed shall we? You must be tired from her trip."

Arjuna watched him lead his wife up the stairs, she knew what his game was. As soon as he was sure Lady Morrick was fast asleep, he'd come back to finish her punishment. She shuddered at the thought, she was so afraid of this man. She left the hall and went out to the balcony, the view was breathtaking, the ocean calm, the small town below nestled down for the night, the moon, casting a dull silvery glow over everything.

"Arjuna--" The Governors voice broke her from her peaceful trance, her breath caught in her chest. "Y-Yes sir?" She turned to him but kept her eyes cast down. "Time to finish your punishment.." He smiled loosening his collar. "Now, come here." he ordered. When she did not comply he forcefully grabbed her, pinning her to the wall with his own body. She yelped, feeling his hands reaching everywhere. His lips clutched to her neck, sucking, biting, kissing. She wanted nothing more than to run, she was so scared now.

"No, please…" she cried, hoping that if there were any amount of kindness in this man, that he would stop now, but he didn't he was the devil. Yet, even still fate would once again intervene. The sound of cannon fire, and the distant sounds of screaming broke his attention on her. "What in bloody hell?!" he turned dropping her. She yelped, hitting the ground. "Sir!" one of his men burst through the door, "Pirates are attacking port!" Governor Morrick cursed, "Have your men, defend the port, kill any pirate that dares set foot in Gattis!" he ordered, as he quickly walked along side the man.

Arjuna sat there for the longest moment, breathing heavily, tears clouding her vision. "That was too close…" She whimpered. "Why do you stay?" an unfamiliar voice, caused her to jump. "Who's there?!" she stood clutching her bodice. She looked around the balcony, but there was no once. "Why should you stay in a place that offers you no'ting, when you have a touch of destiny?"

"A touch of destiny?" she pondered, feeling oddly at ease, no longer frightened by the phantom voice. "Aye, a touch of destiny in you." the voice was suddenly behind her, the feeling of warm hands on her shoulders caused her to gasp slightly and jump. From behind her emerged a woman, beautiful dark skin, long dreaded hair, certain glow about her, that told Arjuna she was no ordinary woman. "who are you? Where did you come from?" She watched the woman slowly stride across the balcony. "That does not matter. Listen closely to what I say. You must run, go down to port, and leave this place…"

"What nonsense you talk." Arjuna cast her eyes out to sea. "Even if I make it out of this house, I won' get far.." She pulled the cuff of her sleeve away from her wrist, showing a very distinct scar, a sign of ownership. A circle with a line running through the middle. "He is a ruthless man, a monster. He would no doubt find me…"

"Only if you let him! You can out run him." She smiled. She stood next to Arjuna, grabbing her hand she forced her arm out,. Pointing out to port, where chaos ensued, the very distinct shape of a pirate ship on the water. "There, that is where you will go.."

"But there is a pirate ship! I'll get killed! And what if---" She turned to further question the mysterious woman, but she was not there…
