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.
She stood outside the room on the patio, her hands holding the rails as she leaned forward to feel the cool breeze that had traveled from one land after another through the forest to touch her face and go on its way. A soft smile settled on her lips as she stared at the horizon, the sky meeting the forest lines which stretched wide and far.
How long had it been? Thought Vivian to herself hearing the chirping birds that flew in the sky as it was the time of dusk. The music was sweet and soft which was tranquil to her mind which had been bubbling with plenty of questions over the past years.
Hearing the room door open, she didn't turn to look but a wider smile appeared on her face when the person put his hands around her waist, leaning in to kiss her on her cheeks.
