Footprints in the Snow
By: SoraBioRox95
This is just a story I started writing, it's my first Phantom Stallion so be brutal with your reviews, I'm used to constructive criticism. I got the idea by the snowstorm I'm currently gazing at. O and by the way, I don't, nor ever will own these characters, Terri Farley does, but I do however own the plot. (even though there isn't really one) P.S sorry that there isn't really any fluff (yet) for now I just want the stubborn old Jake who hasn't yet learned how to swallow his own pride.
Chapter One, The End of Fall
"Well I guess this is it Brat, the end of fall." Commented 18 year old Jake Ely as he watched one of the first snowflakes drift on to the Nevada soil. Sam and Jake were out riding Ace and Witch on War Drum Flats. "Here comes winter."
"I just hope it won't be as bad as last years." Replied 15 year old Sam, last year her father, Wyatt, had lost nearly 15 of his cattle. Sam shivered at the thought. "I'm glad we still have Buddy though." Buddy was a cow Sam had rescued when he was only a calf; he had barely made it through one of the hard blizzards last year.
"Well we have better things to do than stare at the snow, let's go help your Dad with the winter preparations." Jake turned Witch around, "Coming Brat?"
"Yah, Race ya!" called Sam as she breezed by on Ace giving him his head. "See you at the finish line!" Jake was caught off guard.
"That's cheating Brat!" he called before he swung Witch around and sent her into a full gallop. Minutes later they were home, they walked out their horses and pastured them, and Sam snuck Ace a treat, congratulating him on their win.
"You only said it was cheating because I was going to win." Said Sam casually as she walked by Jake.
"Okay, sure, if it will help you sleep at night." Said Jake flashing her one of his lopsided grins.
"Whatever cowboy." Said Sam as she walked into the house.
Sorry that chapter is really short.
