Bambi and the Duke

Disowned for being a human, Vivian was taken in as a maid at the age of seven by the Carmichael household. Serving one of the most respected and elite pureblood families in Bonelake, there were rules. Rules that must be followed by all servants and maids. Like everyone else, Vivian was repeatedly reminded not to disobey the rules. But before she could learn to blend into the background like the other servants, the Duke's young son calls to her, “Bambi.” And all hell breaks loose. ----- "What? Never seen a bruise before?" Leonard scoffed at the girl. "Does it hurt?" Vivian asked, gently kneeling beside him and examining the several bruises covering his face. "Not that much." Remembering what her mother used to do when she got a bruise, Vivian brought her sleeve to her mouth and blew warm air on it before placing it on the boy's cheek, taking him by surprise. Leonard swatted her hand away, a hint of pink appearing on his cheeks embarrassed, "W-what are you doing?" "Mama told me this will make the pain go away," the girl held her hand close to her chest as she shared her past memory. "I’m not a child!” Leonard huffed at her. “I don’t think you’re a child,” she stared at him with a crystal-clear gaze. Taken aback, Leonard locked eyes with her for two seconds before shaking his head. “Don’t worry about it. They’ll heal in a day or two anyways," he reassured her before getting up and taking a seat at the table where his books were placed. "Odd girl," he muttered to himself as he pulled the top book from the stack and lost himself in it.

Past

The little girl laughed, her laughter resonating and ringing around the house which was quiet where she was being chased by her little brother. Her small feet ran past the main hall, stepping out of the house with her bare feet to feel the hot ground burning which made her run back inside.

"Miss Vivian please refrain from going out of the house. It isn't safe to be out," the housekeeper who had been asked to supervise the children spoke to the little vampiress. The girl looked up with her dark red eyes which were darker than the others in the household. 

"It is hot!" her small voice complained looking back outside the house. 

"It is the time of noon, miss. The ground is bound to be hot because of the sun," the housekeeper was a young woman who was in her early twenties. 

The little girl stared at the ground, her eyes then looking up at the woman to ask, "Why?"
