The thing that opened the door was like a black specter, it was a humanoid being but all the darkness and shadows seemed to be absorbed into its very being. It seemed to scan the room before its head faced towards me, bringing both eeriness that made me believe it was looking at me even though you couldn't see if it had eyes, there was also an unknown amount of terror when being faced by such a thing saying that my life was no longer going to be my own.
Not knowing anything I just sat and stared at it while trying to hide my fear, for even if i showed it fear what would that do for me? Trying to figure out what to do was impossible, my little legs would make it impossible to run away from it. The terror was so great I hadn't even noticed that my arm was now completely healed.
Suddenly it seemed the specter pointed towards me then waved towards himself as if it wished for me to follow behind it. I was unsure why it wanted me to follow and not knowing what may happen I continued to sit there staring at the doorway. After a few more moments of staring off I heard a raspy voice speak out.
"This child seems to have been born blind" as the specter walked towards me I did not look away from the doorway that it had entered through. As it roughly picked me up in its arms it stared into my face and I noticed that even at this close of a distance I could not make out anything other then shadows and blurry image from behind inside its hooded figure. The specter began to walk out towards the door with me in its arms and at this point I finally noticed. That when I turned my head back to look at the figure of my mother once more, I could no longer see her. She looked just like the specter that carried me, a blurry outline of shadows...
It looks like this specter was partially right, while I may not have been born blind, I had begun to lose part of my sight and whoever this specter was mistook it for being blind at birth

I was brought into a room by the specter, but not knowing why nor being able to look around as I could barely make out what anything around me was I decided to sit tight and stare at nothing. as he began to rummage to what may have been boxes he finally came back towards me carrying a oval shaped item.
I had begun to believe the specter was actually a man due to his voice, but he did not seem to be similar to the man I had drank the blood of. He did not have the same scent that made my hunger spike like that of the one beforehand. I'm not exactly sure what but something was telling me in the back of my head that he was similar to me, though I also had no idea what I was either.
While in my own thoughts I felt the coldness of metal placed upon my face, the oval shaped item must have been a metal mask? Being unable to see clearly what it was mad me unsure and before I could pull my face away from the cold, a searing pain hit me as the cold went from a cool touch to that of a burning flame.
"AHHH, GRRHAH"
Not knowing anything I could only yell out because of the pain and squirm on the floor as I grunted and screamed, wishing that the pain would stop. I could sense that the specter like man stood nearby watching it as it happened. What felt like hours of searing pain may have only been minutes but I could not tell. Finally as the pain died down I started to feel my consciousness start to fade away. As I began drift away the man spoke once more.
"This mask is a mark. A mark of the children of Taboo. The ones that have sunk there teeth into there own flesh a blood. While you may become a powerful being in the future, you will be forever tainted as one that drank its own mothers blood until she was no more."
As the last of my consciousness left me the last things I heard was a chuckle from the man as he said " you will be treated quite differently, heh, quite differently indeed"
