Hi people! This is a story about what I think might be on Page 47 from the President's Book of Secrets. It is a National Treasure Pirates of the Caribbean cross over. I have tried to make it as historically accurate as possible. If there is any grammar mistakes please excuse them. Enjoy the story!

Disclaimer: If I owned NT, PotC and their charters I wouldn't be writing this would I?

Prologue

It is a peaceful night on the coast of North Carolina. A single pirate ship is sailing on the ink black sea. Her captain is sitting at his desk in his cabin writing in his ships log.

Then out of no where, BOOM!

The Captain gets up. He runs out to see what the noise is. When he sees the source his eyes widen.

It is an East India Trading Company Ship.

"How is this possible?" yells the ships first mate "I thought the Lords defeated them.

"Just in the Caribbean! They must still be operating in the Carolinas" the captain yells "brace the sails we'll try to outrun 'em."

"We can't!" yells the fist mate.

"Ready the cannons then! We'll be in for the fight of our lives!" yells the Captain at the crew members that are awake. "And you, wake up the scaly wags that are still asleep," he orders his first mate.

The crew members obey instantly.

Shouts ring out, echoing across the sea. The captain looks out at the enemy ship though his telescope. 'Yes,' he muses 'this really will be the fight of our lives.'

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Kill them all show no mercy!" yells Lieutenant Robert Maynard.

'As much as I want to follow those orders I can't,' thinks Paul Jefferson as he stands with his fellow sailors. 'I have something more important to do.'

A friend of his told that this pirate had a clue to a great treasure. Of course there were many such rumors but something in his gut told him it was true.

After a while the Lieutenant orders "Prepared to board!"

'Finally,' thinks Paul. He and the other soldiers run across the gang plank and boards the pirate's ship.

Paul runs out of the way of the coming soldiers. He tries to get the location of the captain's cabin from the pirates but they were all mum about it. Finally one of them spoke.

"It's over there," stutters the pirate, pointing to a door at the stern of the ship "please don't kill me!"

"You re gonna die any way," smirks Paul and sticks his bayonet in to the man s stomach.

Paul pulls out his bayonet out, ignoring the man's scream of pain and runs across the blood spattered deck. He throws open the door praying no has damaged the room.

It appears deserted. And there is an open book lying on the desk.

Paul smiles. He walks over and looks at the book. It is the captain's log.

He scans the last entry. It appears to be the right one but maybe he should read the entire book.

A shout of Huzzah, is heard outside. Paul opens the book to the first page.

Then he hears Lieutenant Robert Maynard saying "Blackbeard is dead! I want every man alive to get off the Queen Anne's Revenge unless he wants to drown!"

'No!' thinks Paul, as the rest of the sailors laugh, 'the clue is still on the ship!'

But he knows it is pointless to protest no one is going to believe him. He rips out the last entry and walks off the Queen Anne's revenge, sad that the treasure is lost. At least he could pass down the story and the clue to his descendents.

The story and clue was passed down to Paul's daughter Charlotte. She didn't have any children so she passed them down to her nephew, Tomas Jefferson, and for some reason, the story was lost.

Review for this poor starving writer?
