Cali looked from Jack to will trying to figure out how they were going to get from the beach to dauntless. This crazy plan that jack was so sure was going to work, didn't seem like the easiest of all plans. Jack was too busy muttering to himself trying to figure out the first step to his plan he didn't see Cali watching his every move. She didn't know why Jack didn't recognize her but she had to be honest, she wasn't sure if she wanted him to know her. Having no one know her these past years gave her the leeway to finally get some of her life together. Of course she didn't exactly know if she wanted to go back to her old life of pirating or stay in her rich poised life now, where everyone knew her because of Governor Swann. No she never figured out which life she wanted more, she loved being in a stable home where her only worries are which dress she'll have to wear to the tea tomorrow, but she missed the smell of the sea and the wind on her hair. She missed the freedom of never having to dock, except for food. She missed listening to the oldest crew member telling old stories about Davy Jones and Calypso. She missed hearing her mother's laugh and her father's loving embraced. Most of all she missed her brother. The one man in her life who wouldn't leave her alone, the one man she trusted the most with her life. Her brother the man who gave her jewelry to keep her mouth shut when he broke one of her father's rules. And when he went to be with another captain and another ship it nearly tore her apart. He promised to visit when he was at the same port as the rest of them. He promised to not get hurt and to never get in trouble with any pirate, unless necessary. He promised to always be with her. This is why he gave her a locket. He had got to a smithy and paid lots if money to have it engraved with his name on the back of it. So she would always remember him. Though how could she ever forget. As Cali had been in her daze she had forgotten that she had been looking at Jack. Her hand went to her chest where her locket hung loosely against her heart. She signed and hoped that they would be moving soon otherwise she would soon be getting too emotional for every bodies liking. Looking up she noticed Jack looking at her hand which was still wrapped around her locket.
"Where'd you get that locket love?" Jack asked, trying to remember where he had seen it.
"A man gave it to me, so that I would always remember him," Cali replied noticing Jack frown when he heard her answer.
"Well where is this mysterious man?" Jack asked trying to make his voice sound even.
"I don't know, he disappeared a few years ago," Cali replied with a sign.
Jack pursed his lips together, he didn't want to think that this beautiful women in front of him had another man out there that she was "in love" with. Little did he know that they were in fact siblings and it was only sibling love. Jack shook his head and decided to tell the two about his plan.
Jack and Will went straight to the dingy picking it up and heading for the water. Cali followed straight after them and went to stand in between them. She put her hands up to somehow help the men portage this little boat under the water and get them to the dauntless.
"This is either madness or...brilliance!" Will exclaimed.
"Remarkable how those two traits coincide" Jack replied with a laugh. Cali just rolled her eyes at the two men, trying to focus on the fact her feet were just barely touching the ground underneath her.
She didn't realize how close they had been to the dauntless when she bumped into Jacks body. Jacks head turned to look at her.
"Careful love" Jack said with a smirk, Cali couldn't help but roll her eyes at that comment.
Jack pushed the boat up and over his head and Cali's and made a mad swim toward the rope that was leading up toward the ship. Jack started climbing it and hadn't realized that Cali had started swimming up towards the open air. Will seemed to follow right after Cali leaving Jack at the bottomed on the Sea. Shaking his head he, decided to follow the two up toward the sea level. Once up there he took the lead and started to climb the same rope he had perilously tried to climb. Cali looked up at the boat and realized there was another rope hanging into the sea water waiting for her to climb it. Swimming over to the other rope Cali started climbing it just as fast if not faster than jack.
"Eh, love what the bloody hell do you think you're doing?" Jack whispered not wanting to give away their positions.
"Well what does it look like Sparrow? I'm climbing a rope like you are. "Cali replied sarcastically. Jack seemed to realize her tone and gave her. Raised eye brow, Will who had been climbing Jacks rope, finally caught up with them.
"What's going on here?" Will asked. Jack looked down and shook his head not wanting to answer the whelps' question. He continued to climb making sure he made it to the top before Cali did. He grabbed the rail and pulled himself up and over on to the deck of the dauntless, Cali and Will following right after him.
"Everyone stay calm! We're talking over the ship!" Jack yelled to get their attention.
"Aye! Avast!" Will yelled from Jack's right side, Cali and Jack both looked at him while the crew of the dauntless started laughing at them.
"Really William!" Cali whispered yelled at him. Will just looked at her sheepishly trying not to be embarrassed by the situation.
Cali noticed that one of Norrington's men walk forward with a smirk gracing his face. She thought she remembered him being called Gillette.
"This ship cannot be crewed by two men and a woman. You'll never make it out of the bay." Gillette said with the smirk still gracing his lips. Jack just looked at him with a smug expression and finally replied.
"Son, I'm captain jack sparrow. Savvy?" Jack said with a smirk now on his face. Cali couldn't help but knee again roll her eyes at Jack's arrogance. She noticed Jack raise his pistol to Gillette head. Gillette seemed to notice how he wasn't going to win this battle and immediately ran to the dingy with his men following right behind him.
Watching as the Royal Navy left, Cali turned towards Jack with a questioning look on her face.
"What's the second part now Sparrow?" Cali asked with sarcasm clear in her words.
"Cut the Ritter chain and all the ropes dealing with the sail, we'll then wait for them to come with the interceptor, and swing on to it, then sail into the horizon." Jack said speaking fast and quickly to get everyone moving as fast as they could.
Cali went and immediately started cutting the ropes for the sails, while Jack and Will dissembled the Ritter chain. Cali looked up to see how much longer they had and it was a good thing she looked up when she did, because there was Norrington coming with the interceptor. She couldn't believe that Jack's plan was actually working. Looking up to see if Jack had noticed, she was surprised to see Will right in front of her.
"Jack says we have to hide, before Norrington can see us. That way we can grab a rope and swing across" Cali just nodded and went to a hiding spot behind a big barrel in the corner. No one could see her and no one would notice if she had managed to get to the ropes and swing across. Virtually invisible.
As Norrington's men crossed on to the dauntless with Norrington right behind them she saw Jack and Will already moving towards the ropes. Getting up from her spot she ducked and crawled towards the ropes getting there the same time as the men. Jack started handing a rope to Will and grabbed on for himself. He turned to Cali with a hand extended.
. "Come on love haven't gotten all day," Jack said trying to get Cali to take his hand. Cali scoffed and put her arms around Jack's neck, while jack scooped her up and jumped off the dauntless. Cali didn't close her eyes or scream like Jack had expected she would, she just landed on her feet let go of Jack and started cutting the ropes that Norrington and his men could use to swing back onto the interceptor.
Cali didn't even realize that Nathan had been on the ship as well, until she turned around to see him starring right at her in disbelief.
"Cali? What the bloody hell do you think you're doing?" Nathan yelled, his face scrunching up in anger.
"You wouldn't understand Nathan, no one can understand!" Cali yelled back, not caring at all if he was angry at her.
"So you're stealing a ship with a pirate for no damn reason?" Nathan was completely furious with her.
"I have my damn reasons Nathan, you wouldn't understand the reasons I'm doing this for" Cali replied not even caring if he was concerned anymore.
"Cali if you just trying to prove a point, you've proven it. Now get your ass back here, before Norrington sees you helping a pirate." Nathan was now looking over his shoulder to see if Norrington was close.
"Go to hell Nathan! You're not my brother, nor are you my father and you're sure as hell aren't my lover so you don't get to tell me what the hell I should and shouldn't do!" Cali yelled cutting the last rope with her sword. She was turning away when she heard Norrington yelling commands again.
"Sailors to the interceptor! Now quickly!" Norrington yelled as he saw the three of them on the other ship.
"Thank you commodore, for getting us ready to make sail. We'd have had a hard time doing it ourselves!" Jack grinned has he saw one of Norrington's men try to swing across and miss. Cali just couldn't believe his plan had worked.
Cali looked and saw that Jack was looking once more at her.
"What?" Cali snapped at Jack.
"Nothing love, just didn't think you would of followed us." Jack replied
"I did say I wanted an adventure didn't I Sparrow and this is an adventure." Cali stated trying to figure out what Jack was going on about. Jack never replied, just turned his head and looked forward.
Will was looking around the deck of the interceptor taking in the very details of the ship. He couldn't believe he actually stole a ship. Commandeer as Sparrow would say. But that didn't stop the fact that Will was no a pirate, or fugitive. Nothing would stop him from hanging and he did this all for Elizabeth. Elizabeth, Will thought, as he looked out at the open sea before him. He could still just make out Port Royal in the distance, the vast port that he grew up on after the shipwreck. It had been so long since he sailed, and it still made him miss his mother, the ache that had just begun to heal was slowly reopening. But if Will got Elizabeth back then he knew for sure that that ache would go away. He signed and turned his attention away from the sea to go searching through the downstairs quarters. Leaving Jack and Cali on the deck by themselves
Cali turned away from Sparrow not understanding his stupid pirate method. She quickly walked to the railing behind him and looked out towards the sea. Taking in a big deep breath, she felt her heart stir at her being back on the Sea. Leighton, her brother was still out there and she was positive he was alive. Positive that he had escaped Davy Jones and was out there searching for her, like he always searched for her. She wondered if the news of their ship wreck got back to him. She wondered if anyone out there new she was alive, maybe if she was alive her parents where alive. Her mind was swamped with her past that she didn't hear Jack come up behind her.
"Troubled love?" Jack asked raising his eyebrow in question.
Shaking her head, she looked back towards the sea.
"Then pray tell, why are you looking like you've lost the most precious thing in your world." Jack said smugly.
"Wouldn't you be if your family is missing," Cali said back to him.
"I suppose this Miss Swann was really close to your heart then." Jack replied shifting a little closer to her.
Cali turned her head in surprise realizing what she had said to him earlier. Nodding her head, she desperately wanted to get away from this subject matter. Turning away from Jack she started to walk away, she was surprised when Jack reached out and caught her wrist to stop her.
"You know love, I don't appreciate liars" Jack said looking straight at her. Cali looked at Jack with a raised eyebrow, wondering if she had let her guard down. Was her face that predictable?
"Captain sparrow I have no clue..." Cali started to say but was interrupted when Jack raised his hand to cut her off.
"I repeat again love, I don't appreciate liars on me ship. So either you start telling me the truth or I throw you off" Jack stated with, looking Cali straight in the eyes. Cali was confused. Did Jack remember her? Did he recognize her from long ago? What gave it away?
"I...um...I-I-I...ummm...I have to go" Cali said ripping her wrist out of Jacks grip and running towards the stairs. She couldn't stop to think, she just knew she had to make a run for it. Finally reaching the stairs that lead to under the deck, she made a break for freedom of not telling Jack the truth. If she told him, he wouldn't understand.
Does Jack know? Is Cali ever gonna tell Jack about their past? What about Nathan? Questions that will all be answered in due time my pretties! In Due time!
