Okay, so I lied. I got bored and I didn't want to work on my homework so I decided to just go ahead and type a new story. I am still trying to find a good transcript of AWE but am having no luck. But I'll keep trying. Anyway, here's Dead Man's Chest! Hope you all enjoy it and review!

Summary: Calise returns to Port Royal to attend the wedding of Will Turner and Elizabeth only to make some terrifying discoveries. Now she races against time to help stop Cutler Beckett from destroying piracy forever!

Chapter 1

It was raining. It's not just raining, it's pouring, thought Calise as she wandered the streets of Port Royal. It's been a few months since the Black Pearl incident and she wouldn't be back if it was not for one thing – Will and Elizabeth's wedding. She heard about the wedding through sources she had in Port Royal. Well, actually, it was Groves that informed her about the wedding. She had been keeping in contact with him since she left. At first she wasn't going to come, but instead changed her mind. The couple saved her life as well as Jack's, so the least she can do was attend. But she wasn't going to make herself known. The last thing the couple needed was controversy and for her to come in contact again with Commodore Norrington. So, disguising in sailor's clothes and hair tucked up into a hat, she made her way up to the church. Looking around, she found herself looking down at the harbor and she stopped. Calise noticed ships coming into port but froze when she saw the flag. These were ships of the East India Trading Company. Shit, she thought as she raced toward the church. After her uncle's death, she has had several encounters with the EITC, mainly when she had to spring Jack out of something. I don't mind dodging their agents, but hell be damned if I run into Beckett, she thought. She had encountered Beckett several times during the eight years that she had spent with Jack. She shivered as she thought back on them. Cutler Beckett was a cold yet brilliant man, always willing to take down whoever was standing in his way. Reaching the church, she ran up the stairs to the second level and went for the balcony. Arriving at the balcony, she hid behind one of the columns as she watched what transpired below. "Will!" cried a rain-soaked Elizabeth as she ran to her fiancée who was in manacles. "Why is this happening?" she asked.

"I don't know. I'm sorry," he answered. He then took a look at Elizabeth. "You look beautiful," commented Will.

"You know it's bad luck for the groom to see the bride before the wedding," she said, trying to make a joke to brighten the mood. It did not work. "That explains the unexpected guests," said Will. As Calise continued to watch, she noticed Governor Swann pushing his way through the crowd to reach the couple, only to be block by two soldiers. "You," he said to one of them. "Order your men to stand down, and remove these things at once. Did you hear me?" he added when the soldier made no move. Suddenly, much to Calise's dread and horror, out came the man she feared might be here. "Governor Weatherby Swann. My apologies for arriving without an invitation. That cannot be your daughter, little Elizabeth?" Cutler Beckett said smugly.

"Cutler Beckett?" asked Swann, trying to keep his composure even though Calise could tell that he was scared.

"It's Lord, now, actually," he answered. Great, now he has been promoted, she thought.

"Lord or not, you have no reason and no authority to arrest this man," said Swann.

"In fact, I do. Mister Mercer?" he said, calling his "assistant" over. Calise knew better. Mercer was more like an assassin for Beckett. He almost killed her numerous times. "My appointment to the Royal Commission for Antilles Trade and Protection. The Commission charter, granting it extraordinary powers in matter both governmental and military. And the warrant for the arrest of one William Turner," Beckett said, pulling out a piece of paper and handing it to Swann.

Swann looked at it and gaped. "This is for Elizabeth Swann!" he declared, the despair now showing on his face. Beckett took the paper back. "Is it? How odd…my mistake," he said, rifling through the case again and said offhandedly to soldiers, "Arrest her." Both Elizabeth and Will started to struggle as they put manacles on Elizabeth; but the resistance was fruitless. "On what charges?" demanded Elizabeth.

Beckett ignored her and said, "Aha. Here's the arrest warrant for William Turner. And I have another one for a James Norrington. Any idea where he is?" Calise gaped. An arrest warrant for James? That means Beckett is here primarily for one thing, she thought. When Beckett said James's name, she knew what this was about. "What are the charges?" Elizabeth repeated.

"Commodore Norrington resigned his commission several months ago," answered Swann. Again, Calise was shocked. Why? She thought, remembering the strong, ambitious but kind man she met.

"That does not seem an answer to the question I asked," said Beckett.

"And we haven't seen his since!" Swann emphasized, trying to convince Beckett he was telling the truth about James.

"Lord Beckett!" exclaimed a very irritated Will. Beckett turned to him. "In the category of questions not answered," he continued, tilting his head toward Elizabeth. Beckett looks at her. "We are British subjects under jurisdiction of the King's Governor of Port Royal, and we demand to know the charges against us," she said, trying to contain the anger that Calise knew was building inside.

"The charge is conspiring to secure the unlawful release of a convict, charged and tried for crimes against the Crown and Empire, and condemned to death. For which, regrettably, the punishment is death. You do remember a pirate named, I believe it is, Jack Sparrow?" answered Beckett.

"Captain," the couple said automatically. They glance at each other. "Captain Jack Sparrow," admitted Elizabeth.

"Yes. I thought you might," said Beckett. "But for the moment I am interested in the current whereabouts of his charge, Calise Barbossa," he continued. Will's and Elizabeth's eyes went wide and Calise froze. What the hell does he want with me?! she thought. As if reading her thoughts, Will asked, "What do you want with her?"

"Besides being raised by Sparrow, she is the daughter of a late pirate lord. This makes her very valuable. Moreover, Sparrow will be more likely to rescue her than the both of you," answered Beckett. Calise knew he was right: Jack raised her like his own. He cared more for her than any person in the world. But why does he want Jack? Unless…

"That doesn't make sense," said Elizabeth. "She helped us save Jack. Why didn't you make an arrest warrant for her?" She has a point, Calise thought.

"I want her to come to me. Once she hears about your imprisonment, she will come to try and rescue you. If she heard that she was wanted for arrest, she wouldn't attempt it. Moreover, if she heard that I was the one after her, well, let us say she would go into deeper hiding," he replied. Damn straight, Calise thought. As she watched the guards take the couple away, she remained where she was until everyone was gone. Stealthily leaving the church, Calise began it think, Alright, Beckett wants Jack, which is nothing new. He also wants me to lure Jack here, since I make a much more tempting bait. But why? He must finally heard about how Jack got the Pearl. He wants what Jack knows. And he wants that compass. She wandered for a while trying to figure out how to help Will and Elizabeth. Beckett was right, if she did hear that he was here, she would not attempt it, knowing that he wanted her. But she was here, unfortunately, and it was only a matter of time until Beckett found out. Which leave Calise with one option – confront Beckett. This is going to be the end of me, she thought.

After finding out where Beckett was staying and where he placed his office, Calise snuck into the fort. Apparently, Beckett was being lax on security. Climbing the wall to the balcony of the office, she picked the door open and entered. The idiot wasn't here yet, so she took a set next to where the door opened. As she expected, the door opened and Beckett walked in. Closing the door, he appeared to not to have noticed the uninvited guest until said guest spoke up. "I see that you have not changed a bit. Still as ruthless and ambitious as ever," she said, watching in amusement as his head bolted up and turned around. She smiled. "Hello, Cutler. I hear that you are looking for me. Or should I say you are looking for Jack," she greeted, giving him a sly smile.

"Miss Barbossa, what a pleasant surprise! I didn't expect you for a week, at least," said Beckett, slowly trying to reach his pistol.

"Don't think it," she warned as she pulled her own. Beckett stopped and stood straight. "I am listening intently," he said. Calise rose, keeping her pistol trained on the man, she walked slowly up to him. "I was actually was here to take in a wedding, but it seems that you have changed my plans. So I'm here to see what you want this time. Oh, and Mercer, you can come out now, slowly and no weapon. Or you are going to find yourself unemployed," she added. Coming out of the shadows was Mercer, slowly and holding his hands out. "That's better. So Cutler, why do you want Jack, besides wanting him dead?" she asked.

"You don't know?" he asked back.

Calise smiled. "I was right. You do want his famous compass. Seemingly broken but not. It points to what you desire most," she answered. "Well, unfortunately for you, I haven't seen Jack since Norrington let him go. But, I wonder why you want the compass. Your powerful enough to get anything you want, unless…" she trailed off, walking toward the globe. You want something that you can't get unless you find the person who knows the most about it," she continued. She turned back to him and said, "You want the heart of Davy Jones, is that it? You have heard how Jack obtained the Black Pearl. You want the heart so you can control the seas," she stated, knowing that it was a fact.

"I knew you would figure it out," Beckett said admiringly.

Calise smiled and then turned grim. "Because I know you. With the heart, you will be able to rid the seas of piracy, killing men whose only desire is to be free," she said coldly.

Beckett slowly walked up to her until they were face-to-face. "It's about power. Power to control profit. All it is good business," he said, staring into her eyes. Calise matched his gaze. "They have the right to live. No one should have the power to control that," she whispered.

"We'll see about that," he said as he made a grab for her. Calise reacted, dodging his attempt to seize her. Regaining her footing, she made for the balcony, only to be blocked by Mercer. Instead of stopping, she continued to run right into him, causing him to fall backwards. She proceeded to jump over the railing, falling into the water. "Let her go," ordered Beckett. "This may work to our advantage."
