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.

The findings- Part 3

Vivian replied, keeping her voice as even as she could, "How long have we been here?" she inquired. As Dutan was going clocking the time, she hadn't bothered to time their entry in the storage room. 

"Around forty minutes. We have a good amount of time still to find their belongings. It is good that we don' have anyone coming in here or it would be really difficult to hide and get out," Dutan looked around the room, seeing the length of the ladder from which she had just come down, "Here, take this. Let me go get another lantern," he gave his lantern for her to hold while taking the unlit one with him, walking straight and taking a right which led close to the doors of the storage room where the spare lanterns were burning softly.

Once he had disappeared horror came to form on her face.
