Reaching the bar that William was currently sitting at, Cali sat down and ordered a glass of water. She couldn't believe what just happened between her and Jack. She didn't know if she wanted to believe what just happened between them. It had been many years since Cali had talked, never mind seen Jack Sparrow and within a matter of a couple of weeks, she was already making out with him. What was wrong with her? Cali signed and put her head on the end of the counter. She tried to keep her breathing steady and calm down her raging heart. But no matter how hard she tried Cali couldn't get Jack out of her mind.

Will looked over and noticed that Cali had put her head on the counter, he noticed how stiff her shoulders were and couldn't help but wonder what was wrong with her.

"Cali are you alright?" Will asked. Cali didn't lift her head when she heard Will's question, she did however sigh. Long and deep.

"William I am perfectly fine, I just didn't sleep all that well last night." Although she clearly knew that she did in fact sleep better than she had in years.

"Was it Sparrow? Did he do something? Cali?" Will asked angrily. Somehow he had ended up getting to the source of Cali's problems without even a minute to think about it. Cali shook her head, telling Will that Jack did not do anything wrong at all.

"No Will, Jack did nothing wrong" Cali replied.

"Jack? Since when was he Jack" Will said. Cali once again sighed but this time she lifted her head from the counter to get a look at Will.

"Well that is his name William" Cali pointed out

"Cali, I didn't think you should come on this trip in fear of you getting hurt but now I see it as in fear of you falling for a pirate. Because that's what he is Cali a PIRATE!" Will shouted the last part at her. Cali knew that if she stayed in this bar with Will she would do something she would regret and knowing just that is why she got up and walked towards the door.

"Cali were in the world are you going?" Will yelled

"Away from you William, I'm going somewhere were I'm not told what to do and am treated like an equal." Cali said finally going out the door. She thought she heard Will say something back to her but she could honestly care less.

Cali walked around Tortuga not really sure what she wanted to do this morning. Not many people where walking around and the only people who were, where the merchants and store keepers. Of course she could now she the few whores walking the street after their late night conquests. Cali couldn't help but chuckle to herself at that last part. She wasn't very well liked among them and she liked to keep it that way. As she continued to walk down the streets she noticed that someone was looking at her, she turned towards them to see if she might recognize them. As she turned Cali was once again graced by Giselle.

"So it is you, I thought so yesterday" Giselle said as she moved towards Cali.

"Hello Giselle" Cali replied, she might as well get this little bitch fight over with.

"What the hell are you doing here bitch? I thought we had a deal when you left Tortuga" Giselle stated to Cali.

"Well it looks like the tide has washed me back now doesn't it" Cali said back to Giselle. Cali wasn't sure how she was once again going to get out of this. Giselle could start all hell and not even care what it would do to her reputation, not only that but how much attention it would draw to them both. Giselle wasn't the only one in Tortuga Cali didn't want to see.

"Yeah I can obviously see that Catherine, but why are you here?" Giselle asked, her eyebrows starting to frown.

"Jack Sparrow needs a crew and I'm just helping." Cali said shrugging her shoulders. Giselle just huffed at her, while crossing her arms over her chest.

"Why are you even near Jack Sparrow Catherine?" Giselle said with tone in her words

"What's it to you Giselle?" Cali asked clearly not concerned with Giselle's rising temper

"Jack Sparrow is mine Catherine; he always has been since the day he took me to his bed." Giselle said smugly

"Huh so would that mean all of Tortuga is yours since you've invited them to your bed Giselle?" Cali said raising her eyebrows condescendingly.

"Go to hell Catherine" Giselle said to Cali

"Already there Giselle, but you would know that since you're here as well" Cali started to walk backwards knowing full well that at any moment Giselle could very well blow up and Cali knew what that meant.

"Where the hell are you going bitch?" Giselle yelled as Cali was walking away

"I know this is a hard concept to handle Giselle but I may be the only person who doesn't want to be in your company. God knows what diseases you have." Cali shouted over her shoulders as she continued walking. What she didn't expect was Giselle to come up behind her. Giselle raised her hand to slap Cali but another hand quickly caught Giselle's wrist instantly stopping her.

"Now Giselle, you weren't planning on harming Ms. Swann here were you?" The voice to the hand said. Cali didn't recognize who the person was. She couldn't help but notice how familiar the voice sounded.

"Let go of my hand, Mason" Giselle spat, trying to get her hand away from him. If Cali's eyebrows had not been attached to her head they would of surely flew off at that particular time. Mason Calloway was one of the most slimmest pigs Cali had ever met and not only was her standing in front of her saving her from being slapped but he had been following her since she set foot on this blasted Port.

"I will if you walk away Giselle" Mason said back to her in a deep voice, he was practically charming her to leave. But with Giselle all it took was one man to walk up show the little bit of interest and she was sold. So it really didn't surprize Cali with Giselle walked away giving Mason a longing look. While he just gave her a nod. Probably making sure he can get laid later on that day. Cali scoffed and walked away from both of them.

"Now is that anyway to say thank you to the person who saved you?" Mason yelled as Cali walked away.

"I could have handled that by myself thanks, I didn't even ask for your help." Cali replied walking back to the pub she had spent the previous night at. Mason ran to catch up to Cali coming in front of her to stop her from walking any further.

"Yeah you could of but I didn't want to damage your pretty face their Catherine, oh sorry my bad, I believe you go by the name of Cali Swann." Mason said with a smirk on her face. The only difference between Mason's smirk and Jack's smirk was the fact that Jack's smirk made her woozy.

"Move Mason I don't have time for you" Cali said once again pushing Mason out of her way, this time he stayed behind.

"You better make time for people like me in your life Catherine because one day you're gonna need me, you're gonna need us all," Mason warned her as she continued to walk away.

"I don't need anyone; I can take care of myself. Goodbye Mason, hopefully we won't meet again" Cali yelled over her shoulder.

It turned out she happened to be very close to the pub she had been staying in that night. She walked through the doors only to come face to face with William. Cali looked up at him with surprise on her face.

"Sorry this morning for yelling at you William" Cali said apologetically.

"It my fault, I shouldn't of gotten angry at you. It's your life; I shouldn't have pushed my way into it. You're just like a sister to me and I feel protective of you" Will said hoping that she would accept his reasoning.

"You are like a brother to me as well William. I appreciate the concern, but next time just butt out" Cali said moving around him to go and grab the rest of her things from her room that she stayed in.

"Cali?" Will yelled to get her attention

"Yes, William?" Cali asked turning around to look at him.

"I grabbed the rest of your belongings after you left this morning; they're back on the ship. That's where everyone else is as well. We should probably head down there and meet the new crew." Will said pointing towards the door.

"Okay let's go then" Cali said walking back towards the door she had just came in through.

Walking down to the dock was quiet and slow. It seem Will wanted to say something to Cali but wasn't sure how to bring up the topic. Even though he said he was going to butt out of her life more, Cali knew that was just him saying that to keep her happy. He wasn't going to butt out, if anything he'll be even more annoying that he was originally. It's not like his love life is boring, hell they were going out of their way to save his love life. For the past four years that she had been staying with the Swann's she has always known that Elizabeth came first before anyone else in the household. So it didn't surprise her that Elizabeth would get herself caught by pirates and taken hostage because she is the Governors daughter. If anyone found out who Cali's family is, especially her father, Cali herself would be in serious trouble as well. She would turn out to be Elizabeth, weak with no self-defence. And she sure as hell didn't want that to happen. As Cali was lost in her thoughts she didn't notice that they had finally made it to the docks. As they arrived she noticed Gibbs and Jack walking down to the docks at that very moment as well. Gibbs looked like he was going to jump out of his own boots he was that excited to show Jack the crew he had managed to gather.

"Feast your eyes Captain. All of them faithful hands before the mast, every man worth his salt." Gibbs said pointing out the line of people waiting for them on the dock. "And crazy to boot" Gibbs finished while looking at one particular man. Cali didn't blame him, it's not like they were the best looking crew she had ever seen. Cali looked at Jack face as he walked down the line looking at each member of his new crew.

"So this is your able body crew?" Will said looking at them as well. Cali rolled her eyes; figures Will would start judging each of them before actually being acquainted. Jack ignored Will, like usual and pointed to one particular sailor.

"You, Sailor!" Jack yelled

"Cotton sir" Gibbs said quietly to Jack

"Mr. Cotton" Jack started still taking in Cottons appearance in. "Do you have the courage to follow orders and stay true in the face of danger and almost certain death?" Jack stood there waiting for Cotton to answer him, but he didn't seem to get one back.

"Mr. Cotton! Answer man!" Jack yelled

"He's a mute sir" Gibbs once again interrupted to tell Jack a vital piece of information. "Poor devil lost had his tongue cut out, so he trained the parrot to speak for him" Gibbs finished

Jack stuck his tongue imagining what he would look like without his tongue. Cali noticed that he shuddered when he finished. Once again Jack looked at Cotton.

"Mr. Cotton's Parrot?" Jack said "Same thing" The parrot squawked at Jack.

"Wind in the sails, Wind in the sails" Cottons Parrot replied. Jack turned to Gibbs hoping he would explain what the bird meant.

"Mostly we figured that means yes" Gibbs said shrugging his shoulders. Jack nodded his head.

"Of course it does" Jack said. He looked towards Will and Cali with a smirk on his face. "Well what do you think? Satisfied?"

Will looked at Jack like he had grown five heads. "Well you definitely proved them to be mad!"

Cali just rolled her eyes and shrugged her shoulders. "They'll do" she said. Jack was about to comment back on what Cali had said when he heard a feminine voice yell out his name.

"And what is the benefit for us?" The voice asked. Jack looked toward the person were the voice was coming from. He started to walk towards them; he was confused, like he recognized them from somewhere. As he finally reached the person he took off the big hat they had been wearing, to only find a women looking back at him.

"Anamaria…" Jack started to say when he was interrupted with a smack to his face.

"Suppose you didn't deserve that one" Will said with a smirk on his face.

"No, that one I deserved" Jack said back rubbing his cheek. Cali just started to laugh at him.

"You stole my boat!" Anamaria yelled at him.

"Actually –"Jack started to say when Anamaria once again slapped him in the face. Cali couldn't help but laugh at him now. But something about the name Anamaria rang a bell. She just couldn't put her finger on it. Anamaria looked like she was going to strike Jack once again when he ducked out of the way yelling something about getting a better boat and an even better boat. It wasn't until will pointed to the Interceptor, was when Cali realized that Jack had just agreed to give the Interceptor away. Cali just laughed and started to walk towards the Interceptor. Everyone slowly started to walk towards the Interceptor, all getting on to the ship and heading out towards their posts.

What do you think? What is up with Cali and Anamaria? Some hidden past of theirs? What was with Mason? Let me know what everyone is thinking about in REVIEWS! Even if you hate it, let me know! I like criticism….maybe something isn't clear, ask ask ask! I'm sorry I haven't written in forever I really really really wanted to but university is just a shit show and it's very overwhelming with everything, literally have been writing this chapter for like four months…but I guess their right slow and steady wins the race. I love hearing what you all have to say I really really really do! Love you all!
