Chapter Three

A Serious Matter

"We're going to get caught, you know," Bella scolded as she followed her brother to a dingy in the dark night. "We're never going to hear the end of this." Willy rolled his eyes to himself as he lowered the dingy into the dark sea. Bella carefully crawled down the side of the ship using a rope ladder. A slightly muffled scream came from the girl as she missed a step and almost fell. Willy looked over the side of the ship and tried not to laugh. "Quiet!" Willy quietly yelled. Bella rolled her eyes and carefully took her place in the small boat. Willy followed pursuit and soon they could see the Empress, The Black Pearl and Captain Barbossa's ship, The Triton, all in the distance.

Bella couldn't believe what they were doing. The girl sighed and thought that what they were doing was the most stupid thing on the planet. No, the whole universe. Willy sensed the worry that Bella felt Numerous times he opened his mouth to speak but immediately closed it, not knowing what to say. Finally, after minutes of silence, Willy said, "Quit worrying. We'll be fine." Bella rolled her eyes but was confused. She didn't understand how Willy knew that she was so worried. "How did you--?" Bella began to ask. She could tell that her twin brother was wearing a grin. It was a grin that she had only seen on one other person and that was Captain Jack Sparrow. "It's this twin ESP thing," Willy explained. "You should try it some time."

The waters raged later that morning and the storm was becoming unbearable for the three ships that were captained by Pirate Lords. "Will!" Elizabeth called out as she tried to keep control of the Empress. Will turned to look at his wife. She shouldn't be doing this, Will thought to himself. "Go down below and check on Bella and Willy!" Will heard Elizabeth order. He nodded to his wife, knowing that she probably didn't see his gesture towards her. But he did as she asked and made his way below deck to the cabin that the twins shared. Will pushed open the door to walk inside and was created by the voice of a woman.

"'Ello, William Turna," the woman said. Will quickly snapped around to see Calypso laying in his daughter's hammock. Calypso wore a sea green sparkling dress and a matching pendant. "What do you want?" Will asked. His glaring eyes never left the goddess' face. If he looked in a mirror, he definitely would've saw his tan skin becoming red with anger. "You, William Turna," replied Calypso as she gracefully sat up.

Captain William Turner II looked around for his children, eagerly. They were no where in sight. "What have you done with my children?" yelled Will. A smile appeared on the dark crimson lips of the sea goddess, Calypso, as she approached him. She held out an outstretched arm. Will noticed that in Calypso's grasp was a folded up piece of parchment. Will took it and before he could ask the goddess what it was, she was gone.

With trembling fingers, Will Turner slowly unfolded the parchment that Calypso had handed him. His eyes narrowed as he read:

William Turner,

I, Calypso, Goddess of the Sea, wish to have you by my side once again as a lover

and Captain of the Flying Dutchman. You have exactly a week to decide what you would like to do.

If you decline my offer, you shall face my wrath and possibly never see

your wife, children and friends ever again.

Calypso

Your children are in my hands now. They're looking for the Fountain of Youth.

Will crumbled the letter in his tan and strong hands. So many thoughts were running through his mind that it was hard for him to sort them all out. He could hear the sound of his teeth grinding against each other and he could feel his blood boil underneath his skin. Calypso had gone too far this time. A loud breath managed to escape his lips, as if he had been holding it the whole time he read the letter from Calypso. He turned to walk up to the main deck to inform everyone that Bella and Willy were no longer on the ship. Half way up, he heard a scream and the loud movement of boots on the deck. Will Turner stopped in his tracks, with eyes wide. He knew that scream. He had heard it plenty times before. It was the scream of his wife. The scream of Elizabeth Turner.

A/N: Dun dun dun! I like how this chapter turned out even if it is slightly short. I especially love the cliffy! Hehe. Thanks for everyones reviews so far, especially to those who are still with me after reading Beautiful Miracles. Thanks to even the newcomers. I love reviewers! Chapter 4 may take a while to be posted. I still haven't decided if the baby will live or not. 3 reviewers have stated they want the baby to live but one has stated that a mysterious miscarriage should happen. I'm so torn! So, to help me decide... give me ideas on how the baby should die or how it should live. Even names and gender ideas are helpful! Thanks! Now see the little cute button that says submit review? click it! it'll make me happy!
