"What do you mean gone?" Sam asked, confused, jumping off of Apollo's back.

"Like gone! He's not in his paddock." Amanda shrugged.

"He's probably somewhere on the property… he'll have just jumped that fence again." That was when Amanda stopped. "Oh, no.. he couldn't have. That fence would hold a deer. No way he's jumped that. Are you sure he's not in there?"

"I'm positive!" Carly confirmed.

"I hate to break it to you Aunt Amanda, but Jasper can jump those fences. He jumped it last night." Amanda swirled around to face Sam.

"And you didn't think to tell me this, why?"

"It was late!" Sam shrugged making Amanda roll her eyes.

"Anyway.. We should probably go find him. He'll probably be hanging around the cherry blossom trees." Sam nodded, handing over Apollo's reins to Carly. Amanda walked off towards the house.. To the back paddock where Jasper was currently being kept.. Although not at this very moment.

"Carls, could you take him back to the barn for me and untack him? The walk down there should cool down his muscles." Carly nodded and hopped over the fence carefully to lead Apollo out of the gate. "Back in a sec." She said to Freddie, who nodded walking off in the direction of the barn. Before Sam moved another muscle, she noticed Addie and Lee hadn't moved a muscle. She stared at them, placing a hand on her hip. "Well…"

"Well what?" Addie challenged. Sam raised an eyebrow.

"Don't play stupid with me…" Then, she stopped. "Oh wait.. You don't have to play do you?" Addie took a step forward making Sam laugh.

"Excuse me?"

"You heard me."

The spoilt brat snapped. "I'm not doing anymore work!"

"Listen you big mouthed bitch!…" Sam saw Freddie spin around at that, smirking at her as she shouted at Addie." Just because you didn't have to lift one of your perfectly manicured fingernails at home.. Doesn't mean you don't here. Get your ass into that barn right now and finish mucking out before I pick you up and throw you in there myself."

"You can't tell me what to do."

"Watch me." Sam took a step forward so that she was practically nose to nose with Addie. "Get. Your. Ass. Down. To. That. Barn. Right. Now. Or. I'll. Kick. That. Same. Ass. So. Hard. You. Won't. Ever. Be. Able. To. Walk. Straight. Again." With every venom filled word, Sam took a pause..

"I-"

"Is that clear enough for you?" With a frustrated scream, Addie stormed off in the direction of the barn, and past Freddie who was chuckling. Sam was about to turn to walk away when she heard a voice.

"Mmm… I like my girls feisty…" Sam span around, narrowing her eyes as a scoff emerged from her throat.

"Excuse me?"

"Feisty. I like my girls feisty. And, any girl who can take my sister down with just words is defiantly on my list."

"You wanna' know where you can shove that damn list, you cocky little-"

"Sam!" Sam span around seeing her aunt walk back around the corner, and impatient look on her face. "Come on!"

"This isn't over." She spat at Lee who was simply smirking.

"This has barely begun… Samantha." Sam scowled at him before spinning around and rushing after her aunt, who clearly wasn't impressed at being kept waiting. Once Sam reached her, she sighed.

"What took you so long?"

"Sorry.. Had to give Addie a little push."

"Never mind.. You're here now." Amanda pointed to the left of the paddock. "You go that way.. And I'll go the other. There must be a weakness in the fence somewhere." Sam nodded and walked in a straight line, staring at the fence. There were no weak spots, no breakages. She continued walking down the slight embankment as she followed the fence line around. But that was when Sam spotted it. The metal six bar gate wide open out onto the road. Sam narrowed her eyes, knowing exactly what had happened.

"Aunt Amanda!" She yelled, making her aunt turn and come running.

"What? What is it!" Amanda came to a stop in front of her, and Sam frowned.

"Unless Jasper has achieved a sudden knowledge on opening locks.. I honestly don't think this was his doing.."

"What are you talking about Sam?" The blonde sighed, pointing to the open gate where the latch was ripped clean off.

"This isn't Jasper's fault."

"You don't mean.."

"Jasper was stolen."
