Sam was the first awake in the bunk house, she was awake before Blaze who was sleeping quietly over in the corner near the door. She stood soundlessly and walked towards the bathroom, Sam changed into riding gear, suddenly feeling the call of the playa. She glanced at her friends and sighed, 'I should leave them a note' she thought with a shrug and she began to write.
Hey Friends/Family
I woke early this morning and wanted to go for a ride. I'm taking
Ace so you don't have to worry about me being bucked. I'll be back soon
Much Love,
Samantha Forester
She slipped out the door quietly and sucked in a large breath. She closed her eyes and welcomed the sound of the nickering horses. She skipped quietly over to the fence, and slipped under.
"Hey Ace" Sam greeted loving to the bay gelding. He tossed his head and nickered softly to her.
"Yeah, we're going out to the playa this morning" she crooned and stroked the mustangs neck.
Fifteen minutes later Sam was ready, she kicked the horse gently and he galloped off towards the bridge.
'I love the playa' she thought with a bright smile, the mustang under her slowed to a trot.
"Hey Ace, Whatabout going to the…." She broke off when she saw another riding approaching them. She squinted her eyes
"Who is that boy?" she asked Ace and he bared his teeth, in warning to the other horse. When the rider came into view Sam saw that it was Ryan.
"Hello Samantha" the thick accented voice drifted over to her from the meters separating them.
"Hello Ryan" She replied easily, reining Ace since he wanted to snap at the mount Ryan had.
"What are you doing out so early?" he asked, stroking the mares neck, as she settled under him.
"I dunno, I just wanted to" she replied shrugging.
"You haven't met our newest Solcum mount have you? This is Moon-Dust" Ryan said, stroking the mare. Sam took Moon-dust in, she was 16 + hands tall and a beautiful Palomino, Her eyes where intelligent and almost….wild. Moon flicked her mane over her broad shoulder and stared at Sam, her eyes where pleading her 'set me free again'.
"Ryan?"
"Yes Samantha"
"Was she a mustang?"
"Yes, she was. Caught by my Father's new tracker"
Sam nodded her head, not taking in the second sentence as she stared at the mustang. 'She looks so…..broken. Poor thing' she thought with a desperation that didn't show on her face.
"Hey, Look at that!" Ryan yelled, pointing over Sam's shoulder. She head snapped around and she glanced up at the mountain and saw her baby.
"Phantom" Sam breathed out smiling up at her silver stallion. As if he heard her, he glanced down at her and let out a loud whinny.
"So that is the mount my father wants" she heard Ryan breath and suddenly realized who he was. A Solcum……. .
'Zanzibar, Run' she thought hurriedly, worried about her baby. He glanced down at her confused, and then noticed the mare and rider beside her. He glanced at the mare and his ears perked forward. Sam almost groaned, he wanted the mare for his group. 'Leave Zanzibar' she commanded, not saying it but only thinking. He glanced at her and looked…..hurt? 'Oh baby, I'm sorry' Sam looked next to her and saw that Ryan's eyes were glued to The Phantom.
"Go, please, run!" she whispered and this time the phantom responded. He let out a large neigh as a farewell to Sam and galloped away. Ace neighed back as a farewell and started dancing nervously, he wanted to follow.
"Shhhh baby" she soothed lovingly, stroking his neck.
"SO that was the phantom" Ryan asked, obviously dazed
"Yes" 'Keep it simple, keep it short. That might make him stop talking' she thought and looked over to him, he was staring where the phantom use to be.
"He's…..Magnificent" Sam nodded in agreement and Ryan noticed her quietness.
"Samantha" he said, and she turned to look at him. He placed his hand under her chin, making sure she couldn't look away.
"I will not hurt him. I do not condone what my father is trying to do to that stallion" he said, with a small smile, she smiled back
"Thank you Ryan." She said and looked over to the range. She felt ace move and whinny to someone behind them. Sam turned and saw her friends and Jake trotting towards them.
"GUYS!" She called, turning ace. Jakes eyes were narrowed, noticing who was beside his Sam.
"Hey Sam" Julia greeted, reining Popcorn
"Hey Julz, Danielle, Nick, Joss, Jake" She said, smiling at the last name she mentioned.
"HI" everyone said with a grin and looked at ryan.
"You all know Ryan?" at their nod "This is the Solcums new mount, Moon-Dust" she introduced the horse and Ryan patted the palomino.
"Can I speak to you Sam?" Jake asked stiffly, she nodded and kicked ace into a trot and followed Jake on witch.
"What was he doing so close?" He demanded as soon as they where out of hearing range.
"What?" Sam said completely confused
"He was holding your chin and whispering something to you" Jake told her jealously
"……." Sam was shocked "You saw that?"
"Yes, we all did" he said waving his hand to all of their friends who were watching them, even Ryan.
"He saw the phantom" she said simply, making his angry look fade slightly
"WHAT?" he asked shocked
"Blackie was on the range when he was talking to me about moon-dust, he grabbed my chin because I wouldn't look at him and he WASN'T whispering to me, he was telling me he wouldn't tell his father about the phantom!" She said annoyed. Jake blushed and looked at her.
"I'm sorry Sam, you know I hate all Solcum's" he said, taking her chin just like Ryan did and forcing her to look at him.
"I know" she said, smiling slightly. He bent down and placed a small kiss on her lips, as another form of apology. What they didn't see was Ryan glaring at Jake and gritting his teeth when Jake kissed her.
"Jake?"
"Yes, Sam"
"Diablo wasn't with Blackie….do you think he's alright?" Sam looked down and Jake smiled at her head
"He's fine, you worry too much, brat" she glared at him.
"Why must you call me that?" she demanded, he just shrugged and grabbed her hand. He kicked Witch into a trot and Ace followed.
"You two are so CUTE!" Danielle cried happily, making the pair blush. Nick chuckled at his girlfriend and tugged her off her horse and into the saddle of his in front of him. She smiled at him and Julia rolled her eyes, taking the lead of Sweetheart. Ryan was still glaring at the spot where Sam and jakes hands met when a loud neigh called from the mountains.
"What the" Everyone said and turned towards the mountain
"Diablo" Sam breathed
