Hi, my name is Kiana, I’m the whole point this whole story worked out! Anyway this is my story!
“But mum I don’t want to move!” I screamed. “Listen we can’t go back now, it’s about an hour away from home now.” “F... fine,” I sighed.
As we walked inside and looked through the rooms, we found a box and opened it. “Wow!” I exclaimed. “What is this thing?” The box had fairies flying EVERYWHERE! Literally! As the fairies flew out, they noticed me and started to pull me in. “Hey! Wait! Stop it!” I screamed. I started to shrink to fairy size! “Aaarrrggghhh!” They flew me through the box, threw me onto the ground and started to fly away. “Hey wait! Come back!” I screamed. I grabbed the fairies, thinking they would hoist me up in the air. They didn’t, instead they lifted me up and dropped me down HARD! I chased the fairies to their palace. When I got there, (five hours later) I started to get confused, THERE WAS AN EVIL FAIRY BOSSING THE FAIRIES AROUND! “Hey! Just because those fairies got me stuck into this mess, they don’t deserve that!” I started to shout. “Hahahaha! You fool! I was the one who got them to get you here!” the evil fairy commented back. “And WHY exactly?” I shouted back. “Because you’re special, besides I need more fairies,” the fairy whispered in excitement. “Wait! WHAT?!” I screamed.
As the fairy started to give a speech about how good I would be as a fairy, I started to run. I ran faster and faster trying to get away, but instead I only made the fairies mad! They started to scream louder and louder, soon my ears felt like they were going to snap. Soon the evil fairy realised what I was doing, or at least trying to do, so I ran faster and faster and faster! Until I fell, face first and got knocked out sadly.
I woke up and found myself under the covers of my new room. As I turned over to get out of bed, I found the box on my bedside table. I opened it to see if the evil fairy was there, but instead I found a pleasant surprise, there was a note and a bear. The note said, “Hello, I hope you love this home as much as we did. Love Jade the last owner of this house.” After I read the note a doctor came in. “Hello Kiana, glad to see you’re awake! You had a nasty bump right to the head and fell right to the ground!” The end
