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.

Touch me- Part 2

When Leonard had her back pushed against the wall of her room, a small gasp escaped her mouth. Somewhere at the back of her mind she knew he would have followed her to talk to her due to the quick dash she made after the carriage's door was opened but this is not what she had in her mind.

The night was cold, the whisper of the clouds that it would come to rain soon yet the atmosphere in the room felt like it had turned to one of the hot noon weather of Mythweald. Apart from the sound of their breath and the rustling of trees far away from the mansion which was like the music of the night, they stared into each other's eyes.

"Don't run away from me," said Leonard his voice collected yet his expression stated otherwise.

"I wasn't," she replied back but her answer didn't suffice the slight annoyance that had surfaced when she stepped out and ran inside the mansion.
