I only have read a few of the phantom stallion books so please bear with me is some of the facts are mixed up.
And English isn't my first tong so the grammar may be a bit off
Summary- Sam like Jake and Jake likes Sam, but they won't admit, but when Sam goes missing will Jake be the first to realize? And who will be the one to rescue Sam? Will Jake realize his true feelings before its to late?
Sam sat on Ace's back as she rode him to Jen's house , they where about half way there when Ace stopped dead. The first thought that went threw Samantha's mind was it was a bad to try riding Ace bareback
"Ace, boy what's wrong" Samantha asked her mustang, then with out warning Ace reared up, when Sam hit the ground she could hear the sounds of a rattle snake Ace took off not in the direction of the ranch. Sam stood up and saw the snake it hissed and made its rattling sound. When out of no where came a flash of white, it took Sam a moment to realize it was The Phantom stallion that had once been her blackie. His secret name was Zanzibar the secret name only she knew; it was what kept the bond between Sam and the wild Stallion so close. Phantom reared up coming down on the rattle snake killing it instantly so he could protect the only human he loved. Sam stood breathless she didn't get to see her Zanzibar much, or up close to where she could almost pet him.
"Zanzibar" She cooed to the mighty stallion "My Zanzibar"
CRACK
The stallion's head flew up at the Sound of someone coming; He turned in a rear and galloped of disappearing into the morning mist
"Who's there?" Sam said realizing how vulnerable she was with out a horse. No answer. Then Sam felt a big pain the the back of her head, then darkness.
Sam awoke sometime later Not knowing where she was, she looked around and all she saw was darkness.
"Well hello there" Came a gruff voice from behind; Sam realized that her hands and legs were bound together.
"Who are you what do you want with me" Sam yelled; the man came into the room it was some gruff looked middle aged man.
"I was hired to keep you away from those mustangs so we can catch that Phantom stallion" The man told Sam "Now be a nice gal and go to sleep" he said hitting Sam in the back of the head again knocking her out.
Jake was helping Wyatt mend some fencing that came down in the last farm over at River Bend when Jen came riding up on Silly
"Hey have you guys seen Sam she was supposed to meet me a while ago" Jen asked them. Wyatt and Jake stood up and looked at Jen, they knew it wasn't like Sam to take a long time to get to her friends, Jake looked at them
"Maybe she stopped to see the wild horses?"
Jen frowned and shook her head "If she did she still wouldn't be almost three hours late"
A worried frown came across Wyatt's face.
"That's not like Sam at all" he said as he stopped what he was doing and hurried into the house. Jake took Silly's rains as Jen hurried after Wyatt.
15 minutes later Wyatt came out "Jake you stay here in case Sam come home by her self" Wyatt told Jake since just recently one of the new horse buck Jake from the saddle and Jake had gotten hurt, not that bad but he wasn't allowed to ride, Doctors orders.
"Fine" Jake said softly as he handed Silly back to Jen and watch the two ride off in search for Jen, Jake didn't think much of it because if Sam had gotten hurt or fallen Ace would have been back at the farm by now. He continued to fix the fence, deep down he had a bad feeling, but he kept pushing it down.
The man looked out the window where he had thought he saw a flash of something white, Sam began to wake,
"Hey girl you think that stallion of yours followed you here?" he asked half amused, Sam gasped hoping it wasn't true what she feared most was the Phantom losing his freedom.
"He wouldn't" Sam snapped "He's a wild horse… He's not mine" Sam told the man
The man laughed "Keep telling yourself that, but that horse is like your puppy dog at times and man could that puppy dog run, that's why we need to capture it both ways we can sell it for big money. Sam wanted to kick they guy and run, but she couldn't she had to find a away to brake free and save The Phantom. A tear rolled down the side of her face Oh Zanzibar please if your out there get out of here she thought of his secret name that no one knew she hoped he wasn't here, if he was that could mean trouble. Then Sam heard the sound of horses' thundering hoofs as it galloped away. The man looked out the window, wondering if someone was coming, but Sam knew that the sound belonged to Phantom. He had followed her here, but what was in store for them both next?
Jake was almost done with his work when he saw a flash of white at the top of the hill. He looked closer and there he saw the Phantom stallion rearing as if trying to get Jake's attention. The stallion stopped for a moment and then he galloped down the hill heading strait for Jake, he came to a sliding stop about 15 feet from Jake. Jake had known this horse since it was a foal and could see in his eyes that there was something bothering the horse, and some how Jake knew that it was about Sam. Why else would this stallion come up to him after all the times when Sam was the only one the stallion would approach.
