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.
Bambi in the dark
The little girl stepped into the room which was darker than the night in the corridors of the mansion. It was a large room that hadn't been used for a long time where the objects had been covered with white sheets to avoid dust settling on it.
Little Vivian held one hand tightly on her dress, the other close to her chest out of fear. She was scared so scared that every step she took into the room, her legs shook which made her almost fall in the dark.
It had been more than an hour since Leonard, his cousins and Vivian had started to play hide and seek in the mansion. Leonard who already knew of Vivian's fright over dark had tried to keep her out from being seeker but he had failed because one his cousin, Christopher had caught on him trying to protect the girl from playing fairly in the game.
