CHAPTER ONE:

A thick mist is settling in as Samantha Forster rides through it barely being able to see a meter ahead of her, She is putting a lot of trust into her little bay mustang Ace hoping he can sense more than she can.

Suddenly Ace comes to a startled halt he can sense something.

"Ace, what is it?" Sam asked

Almost as soon as Sam finished her sentence an unfamiliar whinny reaches her ears.

Sam strained too listen but it was quite distant, instead she urged Ace towards it, the horse that neighed sounded lost and alone. Sam didn't recognize it at all. It was unlike any she had familiarized herself with.

As they rode towards the neigh a horse faintly came into sight, Sam's eyes were already straining to see, but what she saw came as a shock, it wasn't the Phantom nor was it one of his group, it was a glittering sterling silver mare.

Sam and Ace came to a halt; the mare turned her head in their direction and bolted.

Sam urged Ace on. She had never seen this horse before.

After nearly 20 minutes of searching they found her again. She was hidden quite well in a patch of dense pine trees.

Sam quickly dismounted and ground tied Ace, and silently walked towards the mare.

It didn't take long before the mare noticed Sam walking in her direction but most of the fight was out of her, and besides that, she was stuck.

"Hey pretty girl" Sam whispered walking within a meter of her "Are you stuck girl?
The mare just stood and stared at Sam.

It took nearly half and hour until the mare was untangled from the trees.

Once Sam finished untangling the mare she was even more beautiful than Sam thought.

She was fine boned and about 15 hands tall. Her eyes were deep and intelligent, she reminded Sam a lot of the Phantom.

Tears came to Sam's eyes as she thought of the Phantom. She hadn't seen of the great silver stallion for nearly 6 months. And she had heard frighting rumors that Linc Solcom had gotten too him. At first Sam dismissed them but after a few months Sam started too believe they might be true. She couldn't bare it if something actually did happen too the Phantom. This new wild horse was all that Sam felt she had of the phantom.
