May
As the sun began peeking its rays over the horizon and the time neared six thirty, the town began stirring with signs of life. The night watchers trickled in from their long shifts, switching with the day patrols. May hobbled into the room where Ziek lay sleeping and pulled open the torn curtains, letting the morning sun wash into the room.
"Time to get up, Ziek," she said as she began walking out of the room. "It's time for the tour." While the boy was waking up, May began getting ready herself.
Eleanor
As the sun began rising, the vampires hid away within the shadows. Eleanor was just finishing up yet another book after the conversation with some other vampires had ceased. the curtains were drawn, letting the sunlight in. It slowly crawled up the floor, making its way towards Eleanor's feet. She let it come dangerously close to her toes before pulling away. Being a vampire her entire life made her wonder what it would be like to be something else. Something that need not fear the touch of the sun. All the dreaming would not protect her from the burn of the sun. She walked up to the window, careful not to touch any light, and closed the curtains, shutting out any life. She repeated this process for all the windows in the library before leaving for her room. Guided by candlelight, she passed many vampires stationed for day watch. They looked deathly sick from all their years alternating day and night watch. Being a vampire and sleeping during the night and awake during the day did no good on the body. Many vampires had gone mad from lack of moonlight and there was nothing that could be done to save them. Eleanore was thankful she never had to experience such torture in her line of work.
