My Eunoia

Slowly opening my eyes, trying to reach the face of the two people in front of me using my little hands. "My beautiful daughter is awake." My mom has golden hair and green eyes with a gentle smile. My father beside her gently touched my cheeks and I smiled at them affectionately. On that day they name me Eunoia which means pure and good spirit. Me and my family live a simple life in a town called Gremon. Gremon is located on a hilly mountain near the ocean. At the age of five, I have great memories with my mom and my dad. We danced together in the fields, ate delicious food, told stories, and laughed happily. Whenever my dad goes to work, I ask my mom to pick me a good book from the book shelves. I love reading novels and fantasy because I feel like I was one of the characters in the story. At the age of 15, I often sneaked out while my mom was too busy doing house chores, so that I could get books at the library near us. One day while I was heading home, I saw a lot of people at our house. I ran as fast as I could to see what was the cause of the commotion. Tears came flowing through my cheeks as I saw my mom's lifeless body on the ground. I dropped the book that I was holding and ran towards her. "Mom!Mom!" I cried as loud as I could until I had no voice. Everything change from that day, my dad often comes home drunk I don't want to see him like that but it became worst. I cried every day because without the presence of my mom around the house it makes me miserable. How I wished I hadn't sneaked out of the house. Maybe I could have saved my mom from the thieves. Still the thieves were not caught I want to avenge them but I can't do anything about it. My dad was often quiet and he would just sit all day and look at the portrait of my mom. I could not bare to see him sobbing all night because of mom's death. Weeks after my mom's death, my dad committed suicide. He hung himself on a tree next to our house. He leaves a note on the table before he commits suicide, saying "I'm sorry Eunoia". I was just moving on with my mom's death and now I have lost my dad. The townspeople were angry at my parents because they abandoned me and they told them that they were bad parents. I wanted to tell them that they were not bad parents. They gave me all the love and care. But sometimes I ask myself, do they really love me? Why on Earth would they give me so much suffering and pain? Why did they abandon me? Now I live alone in our house and it felt empty and dark, all I could hear was the echo of my weeping. Day after day, my neighbors gave me food, but as time passed by they stop giving me food because they see me as a spoiled kid who relies on them. From that day, I planted my own crops, I started to work at the library to earn money, I started to become independent. Then I realized that life was very difficult. I was cleaning at my parents room I found a necklace in a box at the drawer of my mom. It has an ornate round emerald stone. I feel something odd and connection in the necklace when I wear the necklace. Then memories started to appear at my mind but it was vague but I remember that there are a lot of smiles who were wearing medieval royal clothes. I felt shocked about that weird memory so I hide the necklace in my cabinet. I am now 18 years old and I am trying to rebuild my life again after the death of my parents. I always pray that everything will be okay. Suddenly a loud voice reached out to me. "Eunoia!Eunoia!" It was my friend Jasmine. "Are you alright?"she asked. "I am fine Jasmine" I reply with a smile "I thought you were daydreaming again." I just smile at her. I am lucky to have her as my friend. We both work at the library. Jasmine is a beautiful, kind, and gentle girl. We are now at the seaside, this is the place where we usually hang out after work. After eating we packed up our things and went home. Someone's Pov We need to protect her at all cost. We might not know for what Herbert has been plotting this time. I know sir I will keep an eye on her because we cannot bare to lost another life. I know that she will be ready soon. After the meeting I went back to my usual spot where I watched her through the window. I am always mesmerized by her beauty , her long gold hair, her dark eyes, her fair skin, and her bright smile that could easily light up the dark night. I have been the witness of all her suffering and I deeply sympathize with her. That is why I promised to myself that I will always be by her side and protect her at all times. There were numerous times that Herbert's men tried to killed her but good thing I was able to defeat them. Even though Eunoia doesn't know me, I know that she will know me soon because the times has come for her to go back home where she belongs. While watching her I heard a rustling sound behind the house so I went to the backyard, there was a mysterious man standing he is surrounded by luminous dark light. He muttered some words but soon after he disappear in thin air. I try looking around but he is gone. I will report this incident tomorrow morning I need to be more alert next time. I went back to my spot and I tried looking for her but I couldn't see Eunoia. Then I heard a shout coming from the backyard. Eunoia's Pov I was about to sleep but I heard a noise coming from our backyard. I went to the kitchen and grab a pan I hold it very tight. I am afraid while walking towards the door. I gathered all my strength and slowly turn the knob at the door. I open the door as fast as I could and throw the pan in the air while closing my eyes. "Get Out or else!!!!" I slightly open my eyes and I am shock for what I have seen....
