Chapter 1
(Authors Note – This is my first time writing a story so wish me luck!)
Four year old Samantha Forster was getting ready to go on roundup with her dad. All of the Fosters' neighbors thought Sam was too young to go on roundup, but Wyatt knew better. Sam has been spending time with her horses since she was a baby. Her mother always had loved the horses until her mother had passed away.
Flashback (Wyatt POV)
I saw Sam run after her mother who was about to get into her car. Sam wanted to go with her mother to go see the wild horses on the range. Louise told Sam that she would be right back to help her brush Sugar out. Sam ran back into the barn pouting, I walked up to my wife and told her to be careful. Louise said that she loved our whole family no matter what happened in the future. I told her I loved her too and I was wondering why she told me that and walked back to the barn.
(Louise POV)
I woke up that morning and had a bad feeling that something bad was going to me today and I would affect my friends and family. I got a call from one of my friends saying that there are wild horses that need to be observed. So that evening I was about to get into my car, but Sam ran up saying that she wanted to go. The bad feeling I had felt earlier started to creep up my neck again I also had this pounding sensation deep inside of me to say no. I told her no and she immediately started pouting, it tore me apart inside to see her like this so I told her I would help her brush her pony Sugar when I got back. She still ran away into the barn pouting, that's when I saw Wyatt leaning against the barn doors. Wyatt started to walk towards me and he told me to be careful. The weird feeling crept up my neck again and I told him that I loved our family no matter what happens in the future. He told me he loved me too and he had a weird look come across his face and he turned around and walked into the barn. I sighed and got into the car and drove out to wild horse valley. I stopped my car on the side of the road and got my camera out and started taking pictures of the wild horses. I saw a flash of ivory/silvery white horse coming straight to my car. I started to panic because I realized that this was the legendary phantom Stallion and I had disturbed his mares and he was out to get me. I started my car and started to drive away. I turned around still while driving and saw that the stallion was ten feet away from me, the brake got stuck in the pedal. I started to pray to God to keep my family safe and that I loved them and that is when the impact came and my world went black.
Present (Sam POV)
Today I am going on roundup with my dad, I am so happy. I hope I can meet the other kids like me that I had heard my dad talking about I know that they live on Three Ponies ranch, but that is all I know. Gram was going to drive the truck and the wagon, while my dad and I were riding our horses. Everyone was meeting at War Drum Flats to start the roundup. When we got close to War Drum Flats I saw seven people sitting on top of horses. I saw the people on the horses when we got closer, judging off of the shocked look on the six boys faces they thought I was a guy. Also probably off of my face it was shocked too.
(Jake POV)
It is roundup time again and now we are packing our horses to go on the two week trip. I have seven brothers from the oldest to the youngest it is Kit, Adam, Nate, Bryan, Quinn, and me. My dad was talking about a person named Sam from River Bend ranch that is coming on roundup this year. I thought Sam was a boy's name so I thought Sam was a guy well my brothers and I were shocked when Wyatt and this cute little girl rode up on two horses. I swore my jaw was probably on the dusty ground of the playa. I looked at my brothers and they were all smirking at me, but Bryan and Quinn who probably looked the same as me. I finally shut my jaw and Kit started to introduce all of us. Wyatt and my dad were talking under the tree while we got acquainted. Sam said hi and introduced herself as Samantha Forster. Quinn started to laugh and said that Samantha was a girly name and by now we were all off our horses and Sam said that it is her long name, but to call her Sam. Quinn said ok Samantha, Sam launched herself at him and started to hit his chest. Bryan had to take Sam off of her by her waist and I could already tell that this was going to be an interesting roundup.
I do not own any Phantom Stallion characters or people I give all of the credit to Terri Farley who is an awesome author.
