AN: OMG!! My stupid computer wouldn't work all this week, and it just started to work again, and so I have to type this really quickly so that I can get it posted on time (I update every weekend). Next week I'll either update before the weekend, or after, depending on how many reviews I get for this chapter (hint hint!!!!). Anyways, here's the next chapter!
Chapter 8: Vanished Without a Trace
Jake was miserable, he had followed the tracks for an hour until they had stopped at a paved road. On the road, the marks couldn't be seen anymore (obviously!). He had then returned home, then called the sheriff, then showed him the tracks, etc.. Then came the hard part, telling Wyatt, Grace, and Brynna. Man, Jake thought, why Sam? Why not somebody else, like me? I could get away one way or another, right?
Jake went to River Bend and told first Wyatt (who looked calm but was actually ready to scream). Then they went outside and told Grace and Brynna. Grace quickly called everybody she knew, and Brynna was speechless and looked about ready to cry. Jake had had enough sadness for one day, so he went home, hoping that the sheriff would find something….

Meanwhile……
Tempest was tired of fighting. Every time she tried to pull away and go back, Lace would be too strong and pull her forward. They finally stopped when they got to a faded blue pick-up truck with a beat-up looking trailer attached to it. Tempest was led into the trailer, then tied so that she couldn't move. Sam was then thrown in as well, so Tempest settled down, thinking everything would be alright.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sam woke up and looked around. She discovered that she was in a horse trailer with Tempest. When she looked through the front window, into the pick-up that was pulling them, she saw a strange man, not Nicholas. Sam walked back to Tempest and loosened the rope so that Tempest could at least move her head. She then slid down the wall and sat in the corner, putting her head into her hands.
"What am I going to do Tempest?" Gradually Sam cried herself to sleep……
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The next few days passed in a blur. Sam ate whatever food was thrown into the trailer when he fed both her and Tempest. Then she would take care of Tempest, then eventually, a few hours later, Sam would fall asleep.
One week later, they were in Florida…….
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jake was really upset. How could this happen, he thought. He had never gotten to talk to Sam after he had said those three words. Now, almost a month had passed, and Sam still hadn't been found. Now he would never know if Sam really did love him. Everybody was ready to give up on searching for Sam. Everybody figured that she, and Tempest, were dead.
Life wouldn't be the same without Sam, and there was no other girl that could ever replace Sam in Jake's heart……
