this story is a little different,for one thing, Sam's mom is alive, and her and her mom move to San Francisco when Sam was little.Her mom is a famous singer and travels allot.Sam is always with her, but when Sam is 15, her mom thinks she should get a better education and a steady home.She forces Sam to move in with her dad and his new family. Sam hasn't seen her dad since she was 3 years old. She also hasn't seen a horse since she was three years old. Blackie was still her horse when she was younger, but when Sam leaves with her mom, Blackie escapes and has been on the range ever since.and now for the story:

Three year old Sam ran around the ranch yard chasing her new border collie puppy Sierra.

"Samantha Anne!Come here!"her Gram shouted.

"You are going to get your brand new dress dirty."her Gram scolded.

"Mom you wouldn't have to worry about her getting it dirty if you would have put her in it.You know Sam, she can't sit still for a minute." Wyatt said to his mother.

"I know, but it was so cute and she has no where to wear it except around the house."Gram said.

Her Gram looked up at Sam.

Then she realized that she wasn't there.

"SAM!"her Gram yelled.

Her dad turned around, he stepped off the porch and looked for his daughter.

''SAM!"her dad shouted with his mom.

Louise stepped out side from the house.

"What happened?"she asked Grace.

"Sam is missing.She was in the yard a minute ago-"Grace was cut off by her son.

"THERE! In the round pen!"he shouted.

The round pen was occupied by Sam's horse Blackie.He was being weaned from his mother Princess Kitty who was in the 10 acre pasture. Blackie was still not trained enough for him to be alone with Sam.

Sam's family ran over to the round pen.What they saw surprised all of them.

Sitting in the middle of the pen was Sam and laying next to her was Blackie.He just raised his head and looked at the small human.When she pulled on his ear he didn't do anything.

Wyatt carefully went in the pen and picked up his daughter and brought her outside the pen.

"Sam didn't we tell you not to go in there."Her father said.

"well she wouldn't have if you would have been watching her in the first place."Louise said.

"It was an accident,it was no ones fault."Wyatt said.

'You put my daughter in danger.That horse is unpredictable.He could have killed her."Louise said, her voice raising.

"Your daughter.She is my kid two you know!"both of their voices kept escalating.

"Both of you!ENOUGH!If you are going to fight, take inside."Grace said.

Louise and Wyatt continued their discussion inside as Grace played with Sam.

An hour later, Louise was coming out the door with two suitcases packed.

"Good bye Grace."Louise said picking up Sam and heading toward her car.Grace looked up at the house and saw her son looking out the window."

"Sam..."

"Sam..."

"SAM!"

Samantha woke up in a start.

She looked around a saw her mother sitting next to her.They were on a plane going back to their apartment in San Francisco.They were coming back from New York after a big concert for her mom.

Last week was Sam's fifteenth birthday.Her mother had bought her a dog as a present.It was a little Maltese puppy.Sam had named it Betty.

She looked out the window,thinking about her dream.That was the last time she ever saw her father.Now it was just her and her mom, and Daniel. Daniel was her mom's body guard.Ever since Louise became a singer, she was always worried something might happed to her or Sam, So she hired Daniel.HE went where ever they did.He was always there.He even had his own separate room in their apartment.

'Sam are you okay?''her mom asked her.

"yeah I'm, fine, just really tired."she answered.

"I've been worried about you.I think all this traveling is getting to you.Which is why I have made a decision."

"What are you talking about?'Sam asked her mother suspiciously.

'I have made plans for you to move in with your father.I think you should get a better education than just a tutor that comes with us.Your flight is next week."Her mom said.

Sam just looked at her mother, not believing what she was hearing.

WELL! What do you think.Should I keep going or not.TELL ME!!!!I need to know!I also might change the name.If anyone has any suggestions, you know what to do...REVIEW!
