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.

Winter's ball- Part 3

Vivian saw the shadow that was behind the wall. It wasn't that it moved but that was the only wall that had a bigger shadow that fell on the ground that the rest of them. It was the ghoul who was hiding behind the wall.

Remembering how Nicholas had told them that one of his ghoul named 'Everest' had been not listening to him, she turned around to look at the ghoul that was still behind the wall which hadn't stepped out into her complete view. The Lord had been worried as it was out of character for the creature of the dead to behaving like this and this made her wonder if the ghoul had come to see her without letting its master know, or was it another ghoul? When she had asked Nicholas on the name of the other ghoul he had called it 'Narcissus'.

The ghoul was to listen to Nicholas' commands and words as they were part of him. They were born from his pain and anguish after his mother's death.
