Ch. 11- Tragedy Strikes

Sam woke the next morning and sat up in her bed. She couldn't remember any of what happened after Jake waved goodbye. She rubbed her head and quickly pulled back. It still hurt pretty badly. Sam glanced at the clock and it said 9:30. Obviously Wyatt wasn't making her go to school today and she was glad. She carefully climbed out of bed and put on some jeans and a t-shirt. She looked at her hair in the mirror, sighed, and pulled it back into a ponytail. She went down stairs and into the kitchen and found Jake sitting at the table eating a huge stack of pancakes.

"What are you doing here? Why aren't you at school?"

Jake smiled, "Can't a guy surprise his girlfriend once in a while? My mom told me I could stay home today and I thought I'd come spend the day with you. Wyatt and Bryanna both went into town for a day of relaxation when I told them I'd stay with you and Gram is gone too."

Sam walked over and sat in Jake's lap, "So we have the whole house to ourselves all day?" Jake didn't even respond. He wrapped his arms around her and softly kissed her.

He was about to pull back but Sam wrapped her arms around his neck, "Please don't stop." He leaned back into the kiss and they sat like this for a while. Suddenly Jake pulled back, "Why don't we go up to your room?" Sam nodded and stood up. She felt dizzy and almost fell but Jake steadied her before he picked her up and carried her to her room. He laid her on the bed and then lay next to her and began to kiss her again. Sam was eager at first, and then pulled away and sat up.

"Is something wrong?"

"Do you really love me Jake?"

Jake looked startled and sat up too, "What do you mean? Of course I love you. I'd do anything for you."

Jake was about to begin kissing her again, but Sam, for some reason, didn't look convinced, "What were you doing with that girl at school yesterday?"

Jake looked very confused for a minute then remembered what she was talking about, "That was just some girl that was asking questions about what happened."

Sam still wasn't convinced, "Are you sure? Because I think she was flirting with you."

Jake tilted her chin up so she was looking him straight in the face, "Yes and I told her I wasn't interested in her and that I had a girlfriend." Sam smiled and leaned up and began to kiss him again. They broke apart and lay back down wrapped in each other's arms. Sam sat up suddenly, "Did you hear that? It sounded like a horse trotting over the bridge." Sam got up and looked out of her window. The Phantom was standing by the 10 acre pasture looking around. Jake came to her side and saw him too, "What could he want?"

Sam quietly opened the door and stepped onto the porch. The stallion shied but then stood still. "What is it my Zanzibar? Is something wrong?" Just then she could hear screaming horses in the hills behind the ranch. Zanzibar took off around the barn and up the hills. Sam dashed into the house and began to put on her boots as Jake came up behind her ready to go. They ran outside and saddled Ace and Witch. The horses carefully made their way up the hills and when they came to the top, they saw something that made them shy. Sam gasped, "That's one of the Phantom's mares!" The stallion was standing over the dead mare not wanting to leave her there. Jake and Sam jumped down and the Phantom ran off towards the rest of his herd. Sam kneeled next to the mare and began to cry. Jake kneeled beside her, "What's wrong Sam?" Sam sobbed into his shoulder. Again he repeated, "What's wrong Sam?" Sam cried into his shoulder for a few more minutes before answering, "It's Snow White, Danny's mom."

AN: I know this chapter was kind of short, but I wanted to end it right there. I couldn't think of anything else to add in. Hope you like! Plz Review!Kat
