Born Into Darkness
Crimson eyes watched him from across the room. They bore deep into his own dark onyx ones. The red eyed man walked forwards and began to converse with a woman in a grey uniform. After a minute or so, with one last glance towards the black eyed boys, he departed. As soon as the door closed many women rushed over and began to wrap silky green towels around him. One of them opened her lips "he is beautiful."

The crimson eyed man walked down several stone grey corridors, he halted when he came to a black door. He turned the knob, pushed it open and strolled inside. There were two people present in this grand room; one of them expressed the emotion of excitement on their face, the other was impassive. They seemed to be waiting for the man to utter something:
"They have been born". These four simple words changed the atmosphere immediately.
"Congratulations my Lord" a blond haired man with cold grey eyes spoke, his head bowed.
The woman with thick black hair let out a squeak. "What have you named them, my Lord? Are they powerful?" she spoke, the excitement ever present on her face.
"The eldest has been named Hadrian, the younger is Ivan, and yes, they display extraordinary amounts of magical talent. Did you expect any different, Bella, they are my heirs after all" The crimson eyes narrowed as he laced that last line with venom.
"No my Lord, forgive me" the black haired women spoke with fear evident in her voice.
"What are the arrangements going to be, my Lord?" The blonde said despite the anger radiating from the black robed, crimson eyed man.
"The same as we have discussed previously Lucius. They will both stay with them until the age of four, this is when they shall come and join me."
"Don't you think it would be wise for you to see them occasionally, my lord, so that you are not a complete stranger?" The woman looked at him from the corner of her eye with an incredulous look on her face, as if to say 'you have a death wish'.
"Yes Lucius, I have already considered this possibility" the man hissed.
"However, I do not wish to spend any amount of time with them when they are needy and intolerable. Hence, I will be sending you to visit them. You will take a small amount of poly juice potion and visit them every Saturday for an hour." The blondes pale face turned an even whiter shade at this statement.
"If you even think about using my appearance for anything more than what I have just told you, there will be dire consequences. Is that understood?" The red eyed man spoke, just above a whisper, yet it was capable of striking fear into any man.
"Of course, my lord, I would never dream of it." Lucius declared.
"Good. Do not forget what I have told you two. You are the only ones who know about their presence, if you even utter a word to anyone, you will be dead." As he said this he turned his back and walked out of the room, leaving two very nervous individuals in his wake.
"That could have gone better" the blonde haired man uttered.
