The sunset came, and all the vampires were still sleeping. They could walk in the sun without turning into ashes, but it made them weaker than usual, and the sensation of having the sun's rays on their skin was not something they enjoyed.
For that reason, Damian, who was a human, was already awake by early 7, and the other human servants of the castle were the same.
He left his room for a quick bite, yet unexpectedly, Gerard was in the castle's hallway, staring at him.
"Good morning. Where are you going so early?" Gerard asked, leaning against the walls of the corridor.
Damian had to pass by him if he wanted to get some food — the kitchen was in that direction — so avoiding Gerard was almost impossible, but not fully impossible.
There was a door right next to Damian. If he was not mistaken, that was the bathroom, and the perfect place to avoid Gerard.
