It isn't necessary to take any action for a completed story to be protected by copyright. Copyright protection is automatic, as soon as work of sufficient originality is "fixed in a tangible medium, perceptible to human eye, machine reader or other device".
If you want the additional protection a formally registered copyright can afford, contact the copyright office in your country for the proper procedure and applicable fees.
