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.

Pool of blood- Part 5

Vivian was washing her hands after the meal, taking the towel which the maid offered her, she murmured thanks, turning around to walk to have Jamien walking towards her.

"I didn't know you were a friend of Lady Eleanor," he came to stand in front of her. He looked taller than what she had first noticed. During their first encounter, Vivian hadn't registered his appearance as he wasn't someone she knew or wanted to know of. Her intention had only been to finish her exam and leave quickly that apart from his glasses and shabby clothes, she had failed to notice his red eyes.

"I didn't know you would know anyone here at all," she remarked back to see him smile. Unlike his previous nervous self, he seemed confident with his eyes kept on her unmovingly. He smiled to her in response, pushing his glasses up his nose bridge.
