More Chapter 3


Hello, my lovely peoples. How is everyone this fine day? I'm wonderful, thank you for asking. Can anyone believe that it's February? I live in Park City, Utah, in the mountains, where it is usually below freezing until at least the beginning of March. Most years, every thing is covered in snow. But not this year. There's almost no snow this year. It's sad.
In the last part of my story, Anny asks Shawn why she is the only one who can stop Dalen. He says he can't tell her anything until she agrees to do it. Shawn tells her that once she knowns the information that can destroy Dalen, she will be in danger from Dalen's assassins. Shawn gives Anny three days to decide and talk to her mom about talking to Shawn.


The next morning, I knew I had to help IFPA. I couldn’t let the fairy kingdom get destroyed by a madman. On the other hand, I didn’t know what I would have to do, or why I was the only one who could do it. But, even as my mind made up excuses, I knew that my heart was set on helping.
Shawn had told me to talk to my mother. I got out of bed and went to find her. She was in the kitchen.
“Hey, Mom. Can I talk to you about something?” I asked as I sat at the table.
“Good morning, sweetie. Of course you can.” Mom said, putting a plate of french toast on the table in front of me. It looked and smelled really good. French toast was my favorite breakfast, and I usually only got it if I made it myself.
I didn’t know what to say to her. How do you tell your mother that you talked to a strange man in your backyard in the middle of the night? I decided to just go for it, and hope my mom didn’t freak out. She did know Shawn, supposedly.
“I talked to Shawn Millock last night. He told me about the fairies and the war. He wants me to help IFPA end it. He told me to meet him somewhere at 1:30 on Saturday,” I said quickly.
Mom let out a sharp breath, her face pale. “I knew this would happen. Did he tell where to meet him?”
“No. He said you would know.”
“I do.”
There was silence for a few seconds, until I looked up from my breakfast and asked, “Why didn’t you ever tell me about this? About fairies, and the war, and Clara?”
“I didn’t want you to get involved with IFPA. Our work is dangerous. I was trying to keep you safe. I guess it’s too late for that now.” She looked at me seriously. “Kyle doesn’t know anything about this either. You can’t tell him. Promise me you won’t tell anyone,” Mom said.
“I promise.”
“Good. Now, finish eating.”

Fairy Wars Chapter 3

Wish I had something like that to keep me
on track when I'm writing
Hey peeps. I'm back. I know I haven't posted anything in a really long time. I've been too busy editing my story and getting it ready to read. It's ready now, well at least part of it is.
Let's so what was my last post about? It's been so long even I don't remember. Wait, my last post was the Christmas special. I think the post before that was my story. What happened in that part? Let's see... Shawn told Anny that her great-grandmother Clara Bonded with a fairy (If you want to know more about what happened, read this), which makes her and all her female descendants, including Anny, have fairy blood in their veins. Then Shawn tells Anny that he works for a secret organization called IFPA. He tells her that she is the only one who can end the Fairy War.

I stared at Shawn, shocked. How could I be the only one who could stop Dalen? It didn’t make sense. I was just a normal teenage girl, if there even was such a thing. I didn’t know anything about fairies, and I didn’t even have proof that they were real. I just had this strange feeling in my gut that was telling me to trust Shawn, but I wasn’t sure if I trusted that feeling.
“That can’t be right. Why am I the only one who can stop him? Why me?” I argued.
“I’m sorry, Anny. I can’t tell you any more until you agree to help us,” he answered  apologetically. “It’s for your own safety.”
“I can’t agree to help you unless I know why I’m the only one who can.”
Shawn looked at me seriously. “Anny, if I tell you why you need to help us, you’ll become a target for Dalen’s spies. If he sends assassins after you, which he probably will, the only place you’ll be safe is with IFPA. This is dangerous information.”
I laughed. “Assassins? Seriously? You think he’d try to kill me? That’s ridiculous”
“To keep this information safe, yes, I do. Look, I’ll give you three days to decide. If you want to help us, tell your mother you talked to me, and meet me at 1:30 on Saturday. She’ll know where. I need to go.” He stood up to leave. “I hope you come. Just remember, if you don’t do this, the whole fairy kingdom could be destroyed. We need you.” He walked away, leaving me sitting alone in the darkness.
I stood and walked over to the ladder. Before I climbed up, I turned at looked back at the spot where Shawn had disappeared. I stared into the darkness for a few seconds, still not entirely believing everything Shawn had told me. In one night, I had found out that I was part fairy, there was a secret organization who protected fairies, and I was the only one who could save the fairies from a war. It was unbelievable.
I shook my head and climbed up to my room. It was late, and I was tired. I’ll figure out what I’m going to do tomorrow, I thought as I lay down in my bed. I was asleep within seconds.
