Fairy Wars, Chapter 1...

So, now that you've met the two most important characters, it's time for you to read the actual story. This is a story about a girl named Anny who goes outside onto her balcony one night and meet a gorgeous boy named Shawn, who knows her name and says he has been waiting for her.  It is also about fairies.  The story is too long to put all in one post, so I'm gonna split it into two or three or as many as I have to.  I hope you like it and if you have any questions or comments, please tell me or write a comment. Enjoy the first part of my first successful story.

The Fairy War
Chapter 1

It was a warm summer night late in July.  The moon was full and bright.  Anny was lying in her comfortable bed in her stiflingly hot bedroom.  She couldn’t sleep; the heat was keeping her up.  She tossed and turned in the dark, trying to ignore it.

After what felt like hours, Anny gave up on trying to sleep.  She looked at her clock.  It read 1:23.  Anny got out of bed and opened the door to her balcony.  She decided to go outside and get some fresh air.

She stood on her balcony and looked out over her backyard.  She breathed in the warm night air and looked up at the sky.  It was a cloudless night, and the moon and stars shone brightly.  

Anny looked down again and saw something moving in the shadows.  At first, she thought it was just her family’s dog, Aspen.  But when the figure stepped out of the shadows, Anny saw it was a person.  The full moon was bright enough that she could see it was a man.  

She reached for the balcony door to go back into her bedroom, but before she could open it and go inside, the man looked up and saw her.  He smiled and said two words.

“Anny Farrow?”

His voice was deep, yet soft.  Anny froze with her hand on the door handle when he spoke.  She slowly turned around and looked down at him.  He was still bathed in shadows, so she couldn’t see his face.  

“How do you know my name?” She asked the man.  “Who are you?”

“My name is Shawn.  I’ve been waiting for you to come out here for weeks.” he told her.  

“Waiting for me? Why? What do you want me for?” Anny asked, now sounding a bit scared.  

“I just want to talk.” Shawn reassured her.  “Can you please come down here so it’s easier to talk without waking your parents up?”

Anny didn’t trust this strange man who knew her name, but she was curious.  She quietly climbed down the fire escape ladder to the back deck.  She cautiously walked over to where Shawn was standing by a group of chairs.  

“Sit,” she commanded him.  He obeyed, sitting quietly in one of the chairs and leaning back.  Anny moved a chair so it was facing Shawn, and she sat down as well.  “Now, what are you doing here and why were you waiting for me?”
