In the small, whispering town of Eldermere, where twilight painted the sky in soft lavender and haunted stories lay hidden in every cobble-stoned street, lived a girl named Evily Marie Brown. At first glance, she appeared delicate, like a porcelain doll kissed by the sun. Well, maybe not quite porcelain-more like that oddly charming mug from a thrift store that had seen better days but told a heartwarming story nonetheless.
Evily had long, wavy chestnut hair that cascaded to her waist and bright blue eyes that sparkled with childlike wonder. It was impossible to miss the kindness radiating from her soul, a warmth that seemed to draw people in like moths to a flame. She was the type of person who would rescue a baby bird, nurse it back to health, and then teach it how to fly-only to have it abandon her for the sky. It was this naive goodness wrapped in bravery that made Evily, well, Evily.
Despite her pure heart, life had dealt her a tough hand. An orphan from a young age, she was raised by her fiercely loving grandmother, who had instilled in her the importance of kindness and bravery. Infused with that spirit, Evily was determined to chase away darkness with her glowing light.
But darkness, it appeared, was lurking just around the corner.

"Miss Brown, I am the butler here at your service," the butler replied. "My master wants to buy the baby in your belly." "What?!" Does that mean the abortion didn't take place?
