This may put some people off :/looked up into the eyes of the stars that shone down upon her. She took no notice of the cat that meowed at her planted feet. The tears streamed down her eyes they would either stream from her eyes or down her face. As tears form at the bottom of your eyes they cannot stream down the actual eyes!and the moon shone bright into them making her squint.
It was too much pressure, she thought to herself, no one could have done it. She averted her gaze and it met Terrow's. He smiled at her, weakly. She was greatful that he could even muster a small smile. She smiled back, faintly.You have used the sme sructure for the way she smiles and the way 'Terrow' smiles. This makes it flow a bit oddly; I would consider changing it
Terrow walked over to her and held her hand."Anyone would have done it, EveaAgain, hard to pronounce, anyone," Evealla nodded. Even though deep inside she knew that he had just made to plant a seed of no regret into her, but the seed wasn't growing, it wasn't the right season. I think I understand what you were trying to convey here, but the sentence structure meant I had to reread it again and again. I'm not sure how to alter it so it says what you want it to though, sorry!
Terrow caught her disbelief in her eyes, he sighed knowing that nothing he could do would make the regret of failing your own family.This doesn't seem like a natural end to a sentence. Maybe it should be 'reduce the regret of failing your own family. Otherwise I don't quite undersatnd
but the seed wasn't growing, it wasn't the right season.
Terrow caught her disbelief in her eyes,
Evealla Etherting Where did you find a name such as this? It's adorable! But, it doesn't attract much attention.looked up into the eyes of the stars that shone down upon her. A good beginning though.She took no notice of the cat that meowed at her planted feet. The tears streamed down 'from' would be a more suitable term her eyes and the moon shone bright into them, making her squint.
It was too much pressure, she thought to herself, no one could have done it. She averted her gaze and it met Terrow's. He smiled at her, weakly. She was greatful that he could even muster a small smile. She smiled back, faintly. This seems kind of awkward, kind of not. Revise it?

Terrow caught her disbelief in her eyes, he sighed knowing that nothing he could do would reduce / take away regret of failing your own family.Akward ending. Very. But, it gives a give tone to the sadness.
Evealla Etherting looked up into the eyesDo stars really have eyes? of the stars that shone down upon her. She made no notice of the cat that meowed at her planted feet.I think you should discuss the cat more. Right now, it just seems out of place. Maybe she should pick the cat up, or kick it away out of her frustration with herself. The tears streemed down her eyes and the moon shone bright into them making her squint.The two ideas in this sentence don't seem to fit together. She's crying, and then the moon is in her eyes. Maybe focus on the moon. Perhaps it's reflecting off the streams of tears on her cheeks.
It was too much pressure, she thought to herself, no one could have done it. She averted her gaze anditmet Terrow's. He smiled at her, weakly.No comma. She was greatfulgrateful that he could even muster a small smile. She smiled back, faintly.I agree that you shouldn't describe them in similar forms. I would say, "She returned the smile with similar strength.
Terrow walked over to her and held her hand."Anyone would have done it, Evea, anyone," There needs to be a period at the end, since "Evealla nodded" is not a dialogue tag. Evealla nodded. Even though deep inside she knew that he had just made to plant a seed of no regret into her, but the seed wasn't growing, it wasn't the right season.This whole sentence is a little confusing. You've got commas everywhere and things don't match up.I would say something along the lines of: "She knew he meant to plant a seed of self-forgiveness in her, but it wasn't growing; it wasn't the right season." You can tinker with it a little more.
