Chapter One
Samantha Forster whistled to her little bay mustang. Ace lifted his head and looked in her direction. "Come on buddy time to go for a ride." He trotted up to the fence and nuzzled her arm. Sam caught him and led him into the barn. Ace smiled when Sam tickled his nose. "Silly boy." Sam said , as she brushed his bay coat. After she was finished she saddling and bridling him.
They set out at a jog toward the bridge.
Sam was going to look for the Phantom, but instead she found Jake Ely jogging down the road. "Jake!" Sam called. He acted like he didn't hear her. Sam made Ace lope to catch him. "Jake." Sam said , when she was beside him. She realized that he had earphones in. He still couldn't hear me, Sam thought. Sheturned Ace in front of him ,he stopped and took his earphones out. " Hey." He said. " All I get is a hey. I've been chasing you for five minutes." Sam said ,dropping her reins on Ace's neck. " Sorry." Jake said, walking around her. "Where are you going?" Sam asked, following him. " Home." He answered.' Do you want to ride with me? Jen's out of town." Sam asked. Jake stopped and faced her with his hands on his hips and nodded "yes".
"What are you thinking about ?"Sam asked. They were headed toward Three Ponies Ranch. "Nothing." Jake lied. "Your not a very good liar, Jake." Sam said. " I saw Star." He said. "Really. Where." Sam asked. "I was driving home from school and I saw her standing at the entrance to lost canyon." Jake said. " We should go find her." Sam said ,as they turned into the Elys' ranch yard.
Sam hoped off Ace and tied him to the hitching post, then followed Jake into the house.
" Hey Sam." Quinn, Jake's brother, said. "Hey." Sam said. " Where's Dad?" Jake asked, leaning against the counter. "Checking the fence line." Quinn said, jumping onto the counter. "I'm going to go change." Jake muttered as he trotted up the stairs.
"What's been going on, Sam?" Quinn asked. "Nothing much." Sam answered.
Jake came down the stairs slipping into a gray T-shirt. Sam looked at him, but couldn't look away for a strange reason. Quinn laughed." What's so funny?" Jake asked, stopping at the bottom of the stairs. "Nothing." Quinn managed through his laughter. "C'mon Sam." Jake said ,heading out the door.
They went out the door to catch Witch, Jake's black mare. He caught her and saddled her.
They mounted up and rode off toward Lost Canyon. " Wonder why Star is away from Monument Lake?" Sam asked. Jake shrugged his shoulders. "When I talk to you its like talking to a tree only quieter." Sam said looking at him. Jake smiled. A blue tarp floated across the road.
Ace got scared and bolted. Sam wasn't ready, so she flew over Ace's shoulder into Witch's path.
Witch stopped with her legs braced. Jake jumped off and squatted next to Sam. " You alright?" Jake asked. "I'm fine." Sam said, standing up.
Her pants were ripped from the pocket down
to the knee.
Sam looked at her pants," Gram is going to kill me!" Sam looked around, "Where's Ace." Jake was smirking at her." What do you think is so funny?" Sam asked. Jake pointed. Sam turned to see a black tail getting smaller and smaller. "I'm gonna kill him." Sam said. Jake got on Witch and helped Sam up.
