Chapter 6-Answers among confusion
"What do yeh mean, not while they were livin'" Jack said, not as sure of himself now. "I meant exactly what I said, CAPTAIN Sparrow. They weren't livin' when they did that to yeh, oh no. Did yeh really think yer own friends would do that to yeh? No, I thought not. They were possessed by greed. Unlike their normal selves. Let's just say it was a change in th' wind, savvy?" Jack frowned. "Ah, not catchin' on as quick as I'd have hoped. Oh well, you'll see what I'm sayin' to yeh soon 'nough." Ragetti pulled out Rowena's dagger from his belt.
"Now, yeh'll do as I say and no one gets hurt. . .yet." Rowena looked at Jack, who gave her a somewhat comforting look as they followed Ragetti down the road. Ragetti made them walk in front of him for the rest of the journey, poking the dagger lightly into each of their backs in turn. Rowena clutched her arm, which was bleeding heavily. Jack grimaced at her, then looked forwards when Ragetti poked him a bit harder with the dagger to keep him walking.
"Yer crew resides in Isla de Muerta. I think we'll pay 'em a visit." Ragetti whispered to Jack hatefully. "If they want to see yeh, that is." Jack turned around just enough to see Ragetti's eyes give off an evil glint.
Ragetti led them onto rowboat large enough to fit fifteen people. He placed Jack next to him, and Rowena across from them both. "Yeh know, why don't yeh tell me what's goin' on with me crew, and we'll strike up a bargain. What be yer side. I'll do most of anythin' if yeh tell me." Jack tried to reason with Ragetti. "Shut up, fool." Ragetti snarled, and knocked Jack out with the side of his pistol. Rowena drew in a sharp breath. Now she was alone on a rowboat with an immortal man, who at the moment wasn't very happy.
Now Jack wasn't awake to comfort her. She felt a chill creep up her spine, and when she looked up, she saw Ragetti's face two inches from hers. "Welcome aboard, CAPTAIN Rowena." He helped her up onto the deck and threw her down at his feet. "Yeh'll do exactly what I tell yeh to, got it?" She nodded fearfully. "Now, off to Isla de Muerta. Take yer friend, Mr. Sparrow up on deck and tell me when he wakes." He shoved Rowena to the ground again, and she got up as soon as she walked away. 'How did he know my name?' She wondered to herself, dragging Jack up next to her on deck. She collapsed onto him when he was fully aboard and didn't move.

Jack opened his eyes and saw gray sky above him. His head throbbed painfully, and there was something lying on him. He lifted his head. Gods, how it hurt. He saw Rowena resting her head on his stomach and smiled. She was sprawled out next to him, save her head, and was breathing heavily. His grin disappeared when he observed his surroundings. 'Where the bloody hell am I?' He thought to himself. "Yer on the Bloody Mary, CAPTAIN Sparrow." Ragetti's rough voice sounded form behind him. He turned around. Ragetti was standing over him, glaring down at Jacks head.
'He read my thoughts!" Jack repeated to himself. "Aye." Ragetti said, turning from Jack. "It comes in useful sometimes." And he walked back to the wheel.

Rowena stirred. She opened her eyes and saw Jack staring behind him, eyes wide. "Jack?" She said groggily. Jack turned quickly at the sound and clutched his head. 'Not smart.' He reminded himself. Rowena rubbed the sleep from her eyes and looked around. "This is Ragetti's ship." She said. "Aye." Answered jack, his voice low. "And Rowan? Try not t' think anythin' too important, savvy? Ragetti has a knack for reading minds." Rowena widened her eyes, and heard Ragetti shout from his place, "That I do Jack, that I do." Jack raised his eyebrows.
"Savvy." She whispered. It wasn't a pleasant thought, knowing that Ragetti could hear every word she spoke, and every thought that crossed her mind. Even this one. "Don't worry, luv. I only listen when I want to." Rowena jumped at Ragetti's voice. "What's wrong luv?" Jack asked her. "Didn't yeh hear what Ragetti just said?" She looked up at him, he looked worried. "He didn't say anythin', luv." Then Ragetti's voice erupted in her head again. "Oh, he can't hear me luv. It's just you and me." Rowena screamed. Ragetti was talking inside her head. Suddenly her mind clouded over, and she blacked out, falling into Jack Sparrow's open arms.
"What do yeh mean, not while they were livin'" Jack said, not as sure of himself now. "I meant exactly what I said, CAPTAIN Sparrow. They weren't livin' when they did that to yeh, oh no.
