A/N: I DO NOT OWN JACK, ELIZABETH, WILL, OR EVEN COTTON'S PARROT!! AS MUCH AS I WISH I DID, I DO NOT!!!

"'Snot possible!" Barbossa cried when he saw the ex captain making his way toward him. "How in the blazes did you get off that island?!"

"Jack?" Will said looking at him in complete confusion.

"Father!" Calli shouted when she saw him. Jack looked at her for a moment, gave her the apology look again, and then turned back to Barbossa.

"Tis a secret, Barbossa. Anyway, Elizabeth is safe, just like I promised, she's all set to marry Norrington, just like she promised, you're going to die for her, just like you promised. So we're all men of our word here, except for Elizabeth who is indeed a woman."

"Shut up! You're next after the girl." Barbossa snapped with a sneer.

"You really wouldn't want to be doing that just now." Jack said slyly.

"No, I really think I do."

"Tis your funeral." Jack said with the same tone of voice.

"Why don't I want to be doin' this?" Barbossa asked, knowing the whole time that Jack was going to make him ask.

Jack climbed up the hill of treasure so that Barbossa and he were only a foot away from each other. They started talking, but Callista could not hear what about, from where she was standing. The next thing she knew, the pirates were heading out of the cave, leaving only Barbossa, Jack, Will, and herself. And a few pirates to guard the three with the captain.

Calli was busy trying to steal the pirate's sword when the silence of the cave was cut short when Jack through Will a sword then pulled out his own. Will went over to Calli and shoved her guard into the water. Callista was free and ran over to pick up a dropped sword.

She decided to get into the action, not wanting to be useless. She took over a fight Will was having with three pirates, distracting one of them to her. Will had easily beaten his pirates but he looked over at the girl and saw her fighting perfectly on her own. When she was done, Will asked, "Where'd you learn to fight like that?"

"It's in my blood, and it helps when a boy who used to sail lived at the orphanage where I was growing up." She said laughing. However, she immediately was caught in another fight with another pirate. The swords clanged through out the cave, only stopping momentarily as Jack had turned skeletal. "What's he doing??" Will asked.

"I don't know, but it's a good idea." Calli said, not really sure herself of what was going on.

Elizabeth ran into the cave where she saw Jack skeletal as well. Then, after a short reunion between her and Will, the fights broke out again. Will and Elizabeth teamed up to take care of three of the pirates, leaving Calli on her own. She was doing quite well until the pirate proved to be stronger than she was. He thrust a nasty blow to her arm, sending her flying onto a mound of gold. He cornered her and held up his sword, swung it down, but before it hit her chest, Elizabeth pushed him, the sword slashing her lower leg.

Callista gasped and looked down at the deep wound. "I'm so sorry, Callista! I tried to push him out of the way and then he-I-oh…" Elizabeth said with such guilt of hurting the child.

"'Snot your fault, Elizabeth. Just-strip me a cloth from that dress." Calli ordered clutching her leg with one hand and pointing to the pile of dresses with the other. "Ah. Nasty cut." She muttered.

Elizabeth did as she was told and started to wrap her leg but was interrupted by another pirate that had emerged from outside the cave, not telling them that a band of pirates were sailing away with the Pearl at that very moment.

Callista took over the wrapping and crawled over to a safer part of the cave, viewing the fights before her. Jack and Barbossa were still at it with each other, not realizing that the two immortals could not kill each other. Will and Elizabeth had taken care of the pirates in the cave and were making their way to the chest of Cortez where Jack had a nice little plan.

Jack tossed the coin he had to Will and pulled out his pistol as Barbossa did the same and pointed it at Elizabeth who was frozen in place. A shot rang out from Jack's pistol.

"Ten years you save that shot; now you've wasted it." Barbossa said.

"He didn't waste it!" Will's voice rang out from behind the chest. He dropped the medallion and the coin that were covered with blood; Will's blood.

Barbossa opened up his shirt to reveal blood soaking it quickly. He stared at Jack and said, "I feel…cold." He fell and that was the last they saw of Captain Barbossa.

Will and Elizabeth looked at Jack and Callista. Jack was hugging his daughter on the ground and helped her up. She leaned on him as they walked toward the entrance of the cave with the other two. "I'm sorry, love. I should have taken better care of ye." Jack said looking toward the ground.

"Don't be. I sailed the whole ocean looking for you and here you are and where ever you go, I go. I can take care of myself. I'm not a little girl anymore, Father." Calli said.

"To me, you'll always be the same as I last saw you. Can you handle a sword?" Jack asked.

Will cut in, "You should have seen her! She was better than me!"

"'O course she was! It's in her blood!" Jack said laughing. "Now drop us off at our ship, if you'd be so kind!" He said as he helped his daughter into the long boat.

"Oh, um, Jack, about the Pearl…" but Elizabeth didn't have to explain. Jack knew as soon as he realized it was gone.

"They did what's right by them. Couldn't ask for anything more than that." He said in a solemn voice.

Once they had gotten back on the Dauntless, Jack was put below deck, along with Callista, saying they were fugitives of the law and worse than that, pirates. Elizabeth pleaded with Norrington, "But she's only a girl! How could she possibly do any harm?"

"One can never be too careful, but if you feel so strongly about it, she will be in your care." He said, smiling a bit.

So Calli was able to stay with Elizabeth until they got to Port Royal. She knew that at that time Jack would go back to the noose. How could she lose something she spent her whole life looking for?
