Artemis's P.O.V

The sunrise was really beautiful, I sat with a bottle of rum in one hand and the map on the table. For some reason Barbossa thought because I was the goddess 'Aphrodite' that I would be smarter than the rest of them.

And I totally agreed.

I started to examine the map, just as Jack sat down beside me. He peered at the annoying thing and said "Up is Down"

"Huh" I replied. Confused. "What do you mean?"

He didn't look at me, so I gently pushed him away from the map.

"Up is Down" I muttered. I looked at the ancient writing " Well that's more than a little bit unhelpful"

"Why are these things never clear" Jack asked.

"Because there not meant to be" I replied.

"That's even more than less than helpful" He said.

He was talking to himself for sure, one strange man alright.

"I'll just take some of your rum" I said, stealing his bottle.

He didn't even snatch it back. I frowned. This was weird.

"I love the sea" he said randomly.

"Who the hell are you talking to Jack" I asked.

"What, did someone say my name?" He said, looking around "Never mind"

He was going nuts, like I know he was already crazy, but he was acting a lot crazier now.

"I prefer rum, Rum's good" Jack muttered.

His eyes darted back and forth.

He looked towards the map and turned a circle in the table. "sundown. And rise. Up"

"You're not really making any sense" I said.

"Huh?" he asked. "did you take my rum bottle?"

"Yeah, and you're not getting it back"

"Why not?" He replied.

"because it's a vile drink that turns the most respectable men into complete scandals"

"You just quoted her" He said, pointing at an upset Elizabeth.

"I know" I replied.

"How?"
