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.
Vivian hadn't expected for Abel to ask this question. She should have known the man would pry about her. Though he didn't know about her, everyone knew her to be the wife of Leonard Carmichael and the human who had passed the second exam during the gruesome exam which had left many examinees dead by the end of the test.
"I am from Bonelake," she answered. The man must have been curious about her origins as she was one of the rare human women who had passed the exam. It was obvious that one would be curious to know and find out more about her, to see if she was hiding something that was not to be known. After all, how could one explain her still being alive after even the vampires and pureblooded vampires had died during the whole ordeal?
"Where in Bonelake?" he questioned her, taking the tea which he had poured for himself earlier, Abel took a sip from it, "Are you sure you don't want to drink tea?"
