Edmund walked into the kitchen to find his mum cooking and his dad reading the paper at the table, same as any other night. He joined his father at the table as his mum set the food out. They began to eat supper as normal, in absolute silence until his mum will ask how his day at school was. But after that again there will be silence.
"How was school today Edmund?" his mum asked, right on schedule.
"Fine, I have football practice tomorrow so I'll be late for supper." Edmund responded.
"Have you talked to Nim recently?" his mum asked.
"Not since I made the football team a few months ago." Edmund answered confused. His parents never talked about Nim and his 'trip' as they called it. "Why the sudden interest in Nim, mum? " Edmund asked.
"Well, we got a call from a lady with the government today, while you were at school and she asked if Nim could stay with us." His mum replied.
"Really, Nim's coming here!?" Edmund asked.
"Yes and she is going to finish school with you this year." His mum answered. Edmund smiled, this was by far the best family dinner ever. "So Edmund, she will be arriving at the port tomorrow morning around 10:30. I would like you to pick her up and help her get settled in, which means you get to miss school." His mum said.
"Okay mum, no problem." Edmund said as he hurried to his room and opened an email Nim sent about a year ago. "Hello there my favorite invader, I bet you're already missing my island desperately. Well, before you get any ideas about storming Turtle Beach again, I thought I'd give you a heads up. You should start watching the horizon, because I might invade your island next." Edmund smiled, it's been a year since he's seen Nim, and a lot can change in a year he thought. It will be one interesting reunion.
This chapter is quite small but it gives you Edmund's point of view! Enjoy, and I hope for some more reviews! ~septemberrayne
