This is my first fan-fiction and I hope that everyone likes it. National Treasure: The Secret of Page 47 is the story after the second movie National Treasure: Book of Secrets. So I will be making everything up since this is a new story.
First of all I, I do not own National Treasure or any of the characters in these series. But I do own some of the original characters that I will place to make my story unique from the original movie. I hope that all the National Treasure fans will not get mad at me for twisting the plots.
I hope you enjoy it!

Chapter One: The Beginning
"Daddy!!" cried a young girl around the age of five, "Daddy, Daddy!!"
A man around the age of thirty, smiled at his daughter and carried her, swung her around, "Hello darling. You missed me?"
The child nodded and hugged her father dearly, "I missed your stories, Daddy! Can you tell me the story again? How you found the City of Gold?"
He laughed lightly and nodded, walked up the marble stairs towards his daughter's bedroom. She jumped out of her father's embrace and laid down onto her bed, waiting for her father to tell the story. He couldn't help but smile at his beloved daughter; he walked over at sat down by her side.
He started to tell her how he and his wife, the young girl's mother, found the legendary City of Gold. How his great-great-great granddaddy was accused of being part of the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln; how they found clues which led them to Paris, England, Washington D.C, and to the Black Hills. He also told her about the President's Book and how he was able to get note of it. She looked at her father in wide-eyed since she could never get tired of her father's adventures.
There was a knock on the door, and the two turned to see her mother smiling at them.
"Story time again, Rosaline?" she asked walking over and sat beside her husband.
The young girl, Rosaline, smiled and nodded excitedly at her mother and continued to listen to her father's voice as he resumed on with the tale.
Soon enough, before even the story ended, young Rosaline fell asleep. The two parents smiled lightly and whispered their young daughter goodnight before leaving her bedroom.

"As you may see the Civil War affected the North, since now they would not have any harvest which was only in the South…"
Affected the North… thought fourteen-year-old Rosaline Gates as she typed the information down onto her laptop. Harvest…only in South…
"Rosaline?" called a male voice.
"In my room father!" exclaimed Rosaline. "I'm currently doing homework!"
Her bedroom door opened revealing her father, Benjamin Gates. He was currently around the age of forty but was still healthy as if he was in his twenties. His hair was still black but was slightly revealing white hairs. Ben smiled at his daughter, seeing that she was watching the History Channel. Rosaline Gates was a lot like him, having his black hair, but inheriting her mother's blue eyes. But not only her physical features but also she inherited his love for history and his sense of adventure and trouble.
Ben entered her bedroom and lightly closed her door. His chestnut eyes surveyed her bedroom, oak furnishings and having an 1890 feeling in the room. Ben also noticed that there were many books lying around the place, and seeing that it was all history, and all of her books from school.
"You should clean you room, Rosaline," Ben commented, while avoiding the books on the floor. "Mom wouldn't want to see this."
"I know dad," Rosaline answered, her sapphire eyes never leaving the computer screen. She fixed her glasses as it was slipping from her nose. One hand left the keyboard and reached for the remote and she paused the T.V. before turning to her father. She lightly titled her head down, looking at her father above her glasses, "Anything you want, dad?"
Benjamin laughed lightly, "Hey, I want to spend some time with my favorite girl. Is that such a crime, Rosaline?"
The raven haired chuckled and shook her head, "No, father. But I have a huge Civil War presentation due in a few days. I want to make this good, since we're presenting it in front of the class. And my teacher is expecting mine to be the best since I am a Gates."
Benjamin nodded and said, "True. I'm just here to remind you that the dinner party is tonight. Mom is also going to bring a close associate of hers tonight. His name is Mr. Orlando Carter. I also heard from your mother that he is bringing his son. I don't know his name, but be nice to them. Promise, Rosaline?"
Rosaline sighed, even though she hated dinners with people from her parent's workmates, she nodded her head, "I promise, father."
Ben smiled and walked over and kissed her on the forehead, "Good. Now I will leave you to return to your homework."
He turned and walked to the door and opening it; before leaving he reminded her, "Make sure you good look. The dinner is around six, don't be late, dear."
"I won't, father," Rosaline said as she turned back to her homework.
Ben nodded and left the room, closing the door as he went. Rosaline sighed once more; she took of her glasses and leaned back onto her chair. Her sapphire eyes went dark as she went into her thoughts.
This is going to be one long night…
