Story Niva 1

I started the first draft of this story in high school because our English teacher gave us journal time in class. Here's starting the second draft.


     Once upon a time in a land called Stev, a province of Kedavin, there was a fairy named Niva. Oh there were plenty of humans in Stev just as in the land you probably live in, but unlike your land, this land also had fairies.
     The fairies lived in trees in the tiny houses they built high in the treetops. Usually fairies preferred to stay in the forests; but, Niva's parents had died when she was ten years old, and she hadn't felt exactly welcome with the fairies that had taken her in. She was also very curious about the humans she had heard about in her parents' bedtime stories, so when she was 12 she figured she was old enough to take care of herself and moved into an old oak in a farmer's backyard away from any other fairies.
     Niva liked to watch the humans, but she didn't know how they would react if they saw her, so she usually stayed out of sight. From her observations she had learned that in this human family the dad was named Bob, the mom was named Josaphine, and they had two sons named Joe and Devin.
