Chapter 5: Gone

Sam looked at her clock. 2:30, now it was time. Sam gathered the few things she wanted to take, and carried it downstairs to the kitchen, and grabbed some food, which she stuffed into a backpack. She then walked outside, and slipped on her gym shoes, then went ti the tack room. She got Ace and Tempest's bridles, a halter, lead rope, and a saddle that would fit both horses. After a quick glance around the tack room, she grabbed a couple of saddle bags. She quickly tacked Ace up, and slipped the halter on Tempest, clipping on the led rope once it was on. She then got on Ace, and grabbed the lead rope attached to Tempest's halter, and rode them towards the corral where the Phantom was. She then opened the gate, and hoped that the Phantom would follow her. With the Phantom following her, they walked in the La Clara river, trusting it to hide their tracks...

Jake woke up and heard the phone ringing, and his mother answered on the second ring. Jake got up, got dressed, then went to the kitchen to find something to eat. His mother came up to him, looking worried.

"Hi mom."

"Good morning Jake, you have to go to River Bend now."

"But I didn't even eat yet!"

"Grab a granola bar and go now!"

"Fine, bye." Jake grabbed a couple of granola bars, and went to get Witch. He was completely confused about the whole thing.

Jake rode into River Bend Ranch, and was surprised to see everyone standing outside looking along the La Clara. Wyatt came up to him, a shocked and worried look on his face.

"Jake, Sam's gone."

"What did she take with her?"

"The Phantom, Ace, Tempest, and some other things."

"Then she shouldn't be that hard to find if she took three horses with her."

Wyatt's face changed completely to worry. "But Jake, the tracks lead into the river and don't come out on the other side."
