Dark Fate

Prologue

Yugi sighed. He had always been different from the other Carpathian males. Unlike the other Carpathian males, he had never lost his ability to see colors or feel. He was an ancient, a Carpathian who had spent years on this earth; he should have lost those things long ago. But he hadn't. He instinctively knew he wasn't near his lifemate. The only women he knew closely where Tea and Mai and they already had lifemates. Tea was lifemate to Tristan while Mai was lifemate to Joey.

"Hey Yugi what's going on," Joey said coming over to Yugi.

Yugi turned his head and forced a smile.

"Still struggling with the demon?"

"Joey can I tell you something," Yugi asked with a sigh.

"Sure. You can tell me anything."

"I've never had to deal with it. I still see and feel."

Joey raised his eyebrows.

"I'm not lying. My lifemates not near but I still feel and see color. I don't understand it Joey. I've always been more like the female Carpathian's then the males. I don't have the darkness inside me or the instincts to kill," Yugi said sighing.

"Don't worry bout it Yugi. You have to admit though that what you do is pretty impressive too."

"I guess. But I feel the earth's pain and…" he trailed off unsure of how to say it.

"Hey Yugi, Joey. What's going on," Tristan called approaching them.

"I'm just…"

"Yugi here's a little confused on why he's an ancient but can still see colors and feel." Joey explained.

"You guys are joking right? Come on Joey that's impossible," Tristan said as Joey shook his head.

"I don't know why but I don't have the abilities all other Carpathian males have. My gifts are more akin to females," Yugi said sighing again.

"Cheer up buddy. I'm sure we'll figure out why soon enough," Joey said cheerfully.

"I hope you're right," Yugi said sighing again.

None of them had any idea how true Joey's word would become.

A/N: Thanks for reading. Yes, it's short right now but that's because it's just the prologue. It'll be longer as the story progresses. I don't know why but one day this story just popped into my head at McDonalds. I'd been reading a lot of Christine Freehan books and I came up with this. Well I'll update as soon as I can.
