Jack hasn't been a vampire for long. His sire was going to feed, but has a gift for discovering "potential": a mortal's latent supernatural ability. Jack was just oozing with it, so he was plucked from his old life and plunged into an entirely new world.

Months down the road and Jack wasn't showing any signs of said potential. Years pass. His night powers are weak, less than even the gutter variety undead. Worse still, Jack has been showing signs of ghoulification; a nasty process where vampires lose their humanity entirely and become dangerous feral beasts. His desire for blood keeps increasing and his physical features are becoming increasingly frightening to look at. Disturbing gaps in his memory when he walks into the shadows to feed. The Elders are concerned. They might have to dispose of this fledgling before it can hurt someone or reveal their presence to the mortals.

Jack's sire stands up for him at every turn. There was potential there. It's still there! There must be more to this. Jack's his, and he believes this is a temporary setback.

Jack slips into the shadows and ends up in a liminal, in between sort of space. He can traverse it well, walking out of the world and stepping back in at his desired destination. Miles traveled in seconds. This traveling is exhausting without proper protective magics, and it's what's turning him feral. He doesn't understand what's happening, and his sire doesn't know either...
