The Return of Sam

The Return of Sam
The last time Sam had visited Camp Half-Blood it hadn't ended smoothly. He could somehow remember that  Hallie was being scolded by Chiron and himself about injuring a newly claimed Apollo camper. But, he had made up with Hallie by getting her to help tease Fran and her 'best friend' Tom about them getting together and leaving them both blushing.

Yes, Sam thought, its good to be back. The taxi he was in stopped and her dug into his pocket for change to give the driver. Thrusting the money in the cabbies direction he climbed out of the car, picked up his rucksack and brought it to his shoulder. Staring up at Half-Blood Hill he head the taxi speed away and he began climbing up it, making his way up through the knee-high grass and towards Thalia's Pine.

At the top of the hill he could make out to figures and when he got closer he smiled when he saw his sisters standing there. Although Hallie was only his half-sister he loved her still the same.

Standing on top of the hill, Francesca Adams stood waiting for her brother, her cheeks were flushed red from the cold and partly still from the memory of what Tom had done to get her away from getting into trouble with Chiron for what someone *cough*Hallie*cough* had done to a Hunter which included breaking her arm, or was it her leg? She couldn’t remember…

Looking down to the bottom of the hill she could feel the excitement start to creep up her body as she spied the taxi which surely held her brother stop at the bottom. Her eyes lit up as she spotted the familiar figure of Sam climbing out of the taxi with a bag in hand.

But before she could walk off to run to greet her brother she was stopped by Hallie, who put a hand on her arm, causing Fran to look back to her half sister, “Can you please not mention about what happened yesterday, I-I don’t want Sam to know, I don’t want him to be disappointed.”

Fran suppressed a smile, it was rare that anyone at all got to see this side of Hallie, even her, putting her hand on top of Hallie’s, she patted it and said, “I will Lia, I promise.”

A Smile tugged on the side of Hallie’s lips as she said, “Don’t call me Lia!”

“Only if you say that me and Tom are only best friends!”

“Never!”

“What’s this about my little sister and a certain son of Jupiter?” A deep voice came from behind them and they spun around to see Sam standing there with a smile on his face.

“Sam!” Fran said, throwing her arms around her brother and burrowing her head in his shoulder, Sam flashed a smile at Hallie before wrapping his arms around his younger sisters.
