AN: I had this whole story already written out, but I have decided to change it a little, so the updates may be a little slower now. And I'm sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo sorry it took so long to update, but I've been a little busy with school and I was writing another story for a book called Twilight, so I sort of forgot about this story for a while. Please forgive me???? Um, yeah so here's the 10th Chapter!!!

Chapter 10: Sam's New Life

Sam's POV

I looked around my room again. It wasn't anything special, just an old tack room in the stable where Tempest was being kept. It had a bed, desk, a few chairs, a table, and a laptop. Every day was always the same; get up at 5 to groom the horses, work Tempest and Midnight at 7, turn them out or bring them in after working them, feed them if they were brought in, and then do other chores around the barn.

Whenever I have time to myself, I go on the computer and try to find a way to get home, but it was impossible. There was no AIM or e-mails, so I couldn't tell anybody where I am. I would often go on the BLM website and try to find a way to message Brynna, but there was no way. Instead, I usually wound up checking to see if the Phantom had been brought in, but thankfully he never was. I also tried many other websites including food websites to find Clara's, a random website that Linc had set up, and I was so desperate that I actually tried the school website. They were all the same, asking you to call them or e-mail them, neither of which I could do.

I looked out of the window that was in one corner of the room and saw that it was raining. I quickly ran outside to bring in the horses that were outside, and the first two that I brought in were of course Tempest and Midnight. The last one out was another pure black horse named Blackjack. He fought me for a while, and it took about 5 minutes just to get him into the barn. It then took me another 10 minutes just to get him dried off and in his stall. I then went to Tempest's stall and debated what to do. It seemed that there was never enough to do. I tried avoiding free time at all costs because I would usually end up thinking about Nevada and everything that I had been forced to leave. My dad, Brynna, the Phantom, Sunny, and even Jake. I missed every last one of them.

I finally stood up after about 25 minutes and went back to my room. I went back on the computer and looked at the schedule that had been set up for Tempest. I could now see when each of her shows would be. When I looked, I was shocked. Her first show was only a week from now, and Tempest has only been in training for 2 weeks!! Man, they sure know how to push a horse. I went back out to the stable and started pouring their evening feeds, and I knew that I would have to do something. If we were here for too long Tempest was sure to break down before she was 7. Then who knows what they would do to me. They'd no longer have any use to me since I wouldn't have a horse anymore. I sighed and carried the buckets back down the aisle, setting one in each stall as I went past.

I'm sorry that I made this one so short, but I'm having a writer's block so I'll probably have to go back to what I already wrote. Oh well! PLEZ REVIEW!!!
