Chapter 8

"Jake! Phone!" Bryan yelled trying to find Jake in the house. He heard a Who is it coming from Jake. "Wyatt! He sounds kinda paniced." Byran now said standing in frount of the door that led to Jake's room. Jake slowly opened the door and went to the phone. He thought it was going to be Wyatt yelling at him and then fire him. And the worst part was that he deserved it.

"Hello?" Jake tried to keep his voice calm.

"Jake! Do you know where Sam is?" Wyatt asked hopeful.

"Uh, no Sir. Last time I saw her is when she went home with Jen and Ryan." Jake replied, now worried.

"Oh. We called them already. Sam hasn't come home, Ace and all the other horses are still here. She vanished." Wyatt said now worried, more than ever.

"I'm on my over Sir." Hanging up before Wyatt had another word.

Sam stretched and looked around. It was pitch black out. She couldn't see a thing. She got up shook. Its freezing out here! Where am I? Then everything came back to her. She took a deep breath and took a step forward. She had no idea where the heck she was. Its ok, just go the oposite way you came... Where was that? She felt the tears roll down her face. She was lost and cold, if only Jake was here he'd know what to do. Jake? Hes the reason your here. All he would do is to lie to you again. Sam thought trying to reason with her self. She heard a rustle in the grass behind her. She turned and whispered.

"Dad?" Something jumped on her back and a sharp pain hit her shoulder. She felt the warm blood free falling off her skin onto the cold hard ground that she was also falling on. Her mind flashed of pictures she didn't even know she had remembered, of when she had fallen off of Blackie. Then her head hit something hard and she didn't see anything but black.

Jake ran from the phone to grab some needed supplies, flash light, first aid kit, boots, blanket, hat, coat. Then to Witch with tack.

"Whats going on?" Luke Ely came out of the one of the stalls that he was fixing up.

"Sams gone." He answered shortly as he threw the saddle over Witch making sure it landed softly. Luke disappeared into the darkness of the night. He came back with, Bryan, Quinn, Nate and himself. They all tacked up and rode towards River Bend.

"Any news?" Nate asked Bryanna who was outside waiting for them.

"No, Wyatt and the hands are out over by the springs, so can you guys head other directions?" She said as she handed them all walkie talkies. "These will connect you to the house, and if need be I can call out the others. We're on station 4." They nodded and headed out.

Jake tried to follow tracks with his flash light but it was hard in the dark and it was starting to fog up. He was scared for her. Even though she couldn't freeze he knew that something was majorly wrong.

"Jake! Lets split up! We'll cover more ground. Its late and we don't have much time till the sun comes up." Luke called.

He nodded and went his seperate way. He tried to look every way at once.

He'd been looking for hours now. But he refused to give up. After all it was his fault. He sighed and called out one more time. "SAM! Please answer me!" he didn't want to lose her, he..he loved her. Thats when he saw her.

Byanna was waiting by the radio, hopeing someone would call soon. Just as she did it started to beep.

"What?" She gasped in to the phone.

"Its Jake. We need an ambulance, someone now! We're pretty close to the back road. About 5 miles straight. Hurry!"

"What?"

"Now!" Jake cut her off. "I found Sam."

There ya go, hope you enjoyed. :) I'll UD soon promise!
