Callista🌸

Callistas pov:

My name is Callista and i am fifteen years old , i live in a greek island with my father, mother and sister , right now I'm running away from my mother with a horse , because i was grounded for not behaving like a lady and running around the streets with my Little cousin tasho , anyways my mother doesn't scold me much and tells me to do what i want and father has always said that i should always follow my heart and be a brave woman , but right now father is on a ship doing some type of trading anis nit back yet so my mother is worried for our safety . It has been two days since i have ridden the horse and thankfully i am not in trouble but i am so mad because father is always working and never takes me with him , so now I'm hiding behind our villages olive tree with my pet goat and singing my favourite lullaby. 

Third person pov:
Callistas father david just got off from his ship and is now greeting everyone in the village,. Callistas family is famous among their neighbors not just because they have a lot of money but also because callista is known to be very beautiful , with her chestnut and brunette hair her grey and emerald green coloured eyes but most of all her cheery , bubbly and innocent personality . After greeting everyone dave goes to meet his family who is in the center waiting for them but one of them is missing their chestnut (callistas nickname)   who can be Heard singing from the famous olive tree , david knows that callie (nickname) is mad but he also knows that she will forgive him in a heartbeat that's how she always has been as he goes near the tree the singing gets louder and when callie finally knows its her father she turns away from him and sings louder , but david just smiles and says : " callie my love , dont be mad please I'm here now and I'm sorry", callie then turns around and insists to her father saying : " but why don't you let me go with you too baba" , david just smiles and says : " callie you know why my chestnut because you are the hero of our family and when i go to my trades you have to protect them right ?" To this callie instantly smile and stands up and hugs her father , her father chuckles and hugs her tighter then after letting go he asks in a joking manner : " have i ever told you about this olive tree before?" , callie knowing what he's saying plays along and says: " hmm, more than two hundred times maybe ?" They laugh and both just stare at the sea but this father daughter moment is ruined by a ships sound not just any ship though this is the barbarians (kidnappers) ship , they specifically cone to these place from the ottoman dynasty and kidnap beautiful girls to be a part of their sultans palace . Knowing this david and callie quickly run towards the path back home by also warning everyone , but it seems like the barbarians are not going to take every girl just one which safiye sultan ordered them there head pasha  with his assistant Golge who is mute and deaf , look around the village looking at every girl who would be callista but there is none , then abdul pasha spots a big house towards the mountains and knows for a fact that this will be where Callista lives . They quickly go to the house and vanessa (callistas mother) spots them from her window and they act kike normal vanessa praying David drinking water , the door bursts open and in come abdul pasha , golge hatun and seven other guards , abdul pasha goes to callistas father and asks him : " where is Callista ?"  , To which david replies in a fear f his daughter : " i sent her to venice last week " abdul pasha obviously doesn't believe him they all search the whole house but there is know sign of life then abdul pasha looks behind callistas mother and goes there , callistas mother in fear quickly comes forward begging the pasha that callistas not here , but the pasha only grabs her by the hair and throws her on the floor this gets a quick and loud reaction from Callistas sister shouting her mothers name abdul pasha slowly turns around and there is a hole in which you can see callistas fearful eyes looking at the pashas victorious ones he slowly opens the small hidden door which looks like a floor and takes out his scroll with callistas  copied picture whispering to himself : " Callista" the pashas then take callista out and take her outside the whole village is watching with pity feeling sorry for the girl and her family , knowing what was the fate of Callista her father and mother shouting and crying for her to come back and Callista being carried on golges back screaming , kicking, shouting and  crying but golge hatun doesn't budge but in reality golges heart breaks doing this but she was ordered so she couldn't do anything . But its no use.

Sultan Ahmed's Pov:

In was walking with reyhan agha to my destiny or in other words my father Sultan Mehmet khans room , but when i got there i didn't expect to see all of the servant's in the terrace of the room with safiye Sultans back facing towards me but when she turned around she was crying and then she in a shaky voice said : " Ahmed as you know when a sultan is no longer alive and there is a reign to protect he gives his throne to his eldest son or brother but as he doesn't have any more brothers and he only has you and mustafa , now your the owner of our life's and this dynasty" , i looked inside my father's room who was on the bed with a white sheet above his head and then turned to safiye sultana who now continued : " From now on ahmed you are Sultan Ahmed Han " to this everyone bowed to me even safiye sultan , so this is it now i thought that i was gonna die today but now i am the sultan of the world , I'm too young for this position but i know that mustafa is only five years old and now its all up to me . Its been only a day and after my fathers funeral i an supposed to be throned as the new sultan , my validem also came back from edrine and hugged me tightly , behind her was dervish pasha who has basically raised me and is very closed to my mother and me so i respect him a lot , now everything is almost fine but the issue is that my mother and safiye sultan hate each other too bad i cant keep  a eye on them . Today i got ready and went in safiye sultans room where all of the royal family was safiye sultan , Handan Sultan , Halime Sultan , my two younger siblings dilruba sultan and shezade mustafa , i kissed everyone's hand and they all wished me good luck just before i was about to go mustafa came running towards me shouting :" brother brother lets play " , this instantly brought a smile to my face but that soon managed when safiye sultan said : " mustafa your brother is not just a brother any more he's the sultan now" , oh well this is my life now . There is this rule in the dynasty that when you become a sultan you kill your brothers but i didn't like that so i spared mustafa s life , now everything is complete but there is just one issue , chestnut yes that's what i call callista now because of her chestnut hair i know i sound completely mental , anyways chestnut is not here and i think safiye sultana understood because when everyone was going to the tower of justice she stopped me and told me in a whisper : " don't you think i forgot your present she will be here in a few days " that instantly made my day brighter my shoulders unstiffed and my smile genuine and i think safiye sultana saw that to because she again softly giggled and said walking past me : " ah young love , young love ! " , This made me blush so hard . When we opened the doors everyone was waiting for me and i became very nervous again , i quickly told the guards to close the door , dervish was confused and asked me worriedly what was wrong but i couldn't say anything i just wanted water and dervish quickly got it for me and then i said : " i cant do this dervish , what if i ruin the ottoman dynasty "? , dervish put a hand on my shoulder and told me : " you can do this my sultan , you can and will be a great sultan , take a deep breath in and out " , i did as he told me but it didn't work and dervish noticed that so he told me : " think about what makes you happy ahmed , think of positive things , think about something that gives you light and makes your roots grow" , i instantly thought of Callista , i know weird but i  fell in love , i thought of how she makes my hearts Roots grow and just seeing her portrait makes me happy and lightens my day and that she will be here in a few days thinking about callista calmed me down in an instant  apne i ordered the guards to open the door and he shouted "ATTENTION YOUR HIGHNESS SULTAN AHMED HAN IS HERE" everyone bowed to me and i signaled them to standup and ordered zulfikar pasha , one of my trusted janissari to tell them that i won't kill mustafa . When that was done everyone  shouted "LONG LIVE SULTAN AHMED LONG LIVE SULTAN AHMED!" , When that was done i went to my room but before my room there was harem in which a lot of girls lived and spent there time there , when i passed a agha shouted ATTENTION YOUR HIGHNESS SULTAN AHMED HAN IS HERE , all the girls stood up and bowed to me but no one caught my eye , i know they all are beautiful but no other girl's beauty compared to callistas , she is something else and my wish to meet her is now very desperate and i dont want to sleep with her i want to love her and cherish her and just want her to do the same , and something tells me she will anyways i went to my room and saw my mother there .
