Wyatt and Jen rode into the yard, they didn't see Jake working and they hadn't found Sam, but they did find Ace. He came cantering once Wyatt whistled, but no Sam.

"Jake!" yelled Wyatt; he needed his help to grab Ace. Jake didn't come like he usually did. That's when Witch came galloping into the ranch yard, a limp in her step. Wyatt jumped off his horse ground tying it and rushing over to the mare. She was leathered in white sweat and looked like she was scared out of her mind. Wyatt saw the mare was tacked up, but no one in the saddle. He knew Jake had gone after Sam, but why had he left the ranch. He would only leave if he might have an idea where to go He looked at the ground out side the 10 acre field there were hoof prints of an unshod horse, and the marks looked like the horse was in a hurry to notify someone. Could it be the Phantom, Sam showed so many times when he helped her in the past, but no he's a horse he wouldn't do that plus he's a wild stallion.

Sam sat on the floor next to Jake, she didn't know why, but having him there with her made her feel better then being all alone. Jake looked at her

"Don't worry I won't let them do anything to you Sam"

Sam looked at him "How could you stop them, you're tied up"

"Sam, I'll find a way"

"Ok" She told Jake not really sure that he could

"I promise you Sam"

Sam didn't answer in stead she looked at the Phantom who had begun to pull the rope again. Then in one fast movement the rope snapped and the Phantom took off at a gallop back to his home. Sam watched him run free; as she watch she wished she could run free with him, free to go home.

It was a half hour later and Wyatt was on the phone with people trying to see if they had seen Sam. Jen was out tending to the horses. She heard the horses out side start to get loud so she went out side. There in the yard was the stallion Sam had always loved and talked about, The Phantom. At the same time Wyatt came out of the house seeing Jen only a few feet from the barn.

"Jen what are you doing?" he asked as he walked up to her.

"Look" she said pointing at the great stallion. Wyatt looked and for the first time since the stallion was a colt Wyatt could see it was Blakie Sam's lost colt. He looked like he did when Sam got home from school the many years ago and he wanted her to come to him.

"I think he wants us to follow" Jen said to him

"No… we have to find Sam not go playing around with that horse" he told her his eyes not leaving the stallion, who stood not fleeing from the two humans.

"But sir" Jen stopped as she thought of something she could say to convince him to go and follow the horse "All the times Sam knew something was wrong and went to go help him, maybe he's returning the favor maybe he knows where Sam and Jake are"

"Why would you think the two are together?"

"Well there were unshod hoof prints and then Witches shod hoof prints following them, Maybe he was here before and Jake followed"

"Jen, He's a wild animal all he cares about is his heard"

"Sir Sam is his heard to him think about it if she sees him all the time he trust her, he may consider her his heard…she did raise him…. please… I'll stay here in case some how she comes home you go follow him please I have a good feeling about this"

Wyatt looked at her he had never known Jen to be so pushy so he agreed then the stallion trotted forward right up to Wyatt and Jen he bobbed his head; he was so close to the two that they could reach out and touch him.

"I think you're right Jen" He grabbed his horse and got on, The Phantom still hadn't moved Wyatt looked at Jen "Stay here call you parents, but stay here in case she comes home on her own" Wyatt told Jen. He turned to face the Phantom

"Ok…Blakie" he used the Phantom's old name hoping it would help "Show the way" The stallion turned on his hind legs and took of at a gallop with Wyatt and his horse in quick pursuit.

Sam leaned on Jake she was thirsty and tired

"Jake do you think he'll come back?"

"No"

Sam moved off of him so she could look at his face "Why not?"

"Sam be real he knows this place is bad he got captured last time"

"But he brought you here maybe he'll go find dad or someone"

"He won't come back Sam, he's been away from his heard to long he'll go back there"

"I know, but…" Sam trailed off she didn't know what to say half of her wanted the stallion to come back, but the other half wanted him to go far away from here and never come back.

Jake looked at Sam then something clicked in his head

"He may come back"

Sam looked at him puzzled at what he said

"He…He may count you as part of his heard"

"What…what do you mean?"

"Come on Sam don't you see it. All those times that he saved you all those times that you seen him touched him" he stopped and wit ha smile he added "and ride him"

Sam looked at him startled that he knew "What no he's a wild horse I can't ride him he's wild"

"Sam come on I know no matter how hard you try and say you didn't I know you did or do" Jake looked into Sam's eyes "I think he does think you are part of his heard and he doesn't want to let you go"

"Maybe your right Jake, but how can one wild stallion set us free"

"Well what you said before maybe he went back and got someone else to follow"

"Maybe" Sam agreed not to sure that it actually happened "But most likely he's with his heard keeping them safe"

"Maybe" Jake told her.

AN-What his the name of Wyatt's horse anyone know?
