Maybe they were separated not to protect them, but maybe to make them weaker? And that could be why the third character is tasked with getting them together?

But as we all like the third character having abilities as well, we just have to decide who writes for who!

@ pocahontas.
Maybe the longer they're kept apart, the weaker they become and because they've been apart for all these years without ever having contact, it could start affecting more, interfering with their actual health? And the third party, who has known both for years to keep them apart, now realises that they have to reunite them to prevent them from getting weaker?

@ pocahontas.
I don't read too much Harry Potter fanfiction but I definitely have seen the "twin bond" with Fred and George, and I just love the idea of that kind of bond. And I think having it for our twins would be really good!

I'm all for it

@ pocahontas.
I'm totally fine with those face claims.

I'd kind of like to write for Serena, if it's okay with Kayleigh.

@ pocahontas.
@ starfire.

Had to give them a google to know who you were on about, but they look great for the face claims!

And I'm fine writing for the third character. Should be interesting as the character knows more about the twins and the situation than the twins do themselves.

@ pocahontas.
Okay...so they were kidnapped. Maybe the third character is to do with the birth family, as in even though the police gave up the search the family didn't and they knew other people with abilities and the third character is one of those people. Maybe they got wind of a small handful of people who could be one of the twins and that's why the third character was sent to get to know the handful and discovered the twin. With that one twin found, they weaved their way into the girl's life to get more information and befriend them. Then the second one has been found and the third character is told to befriend her as well because the only way the twins would believe they were kidnapped would be if they met each other and discovered it that way rather than being told by an outsider.

@ Alicia Alarcon
I like that idea!

@ pocahontas.
I don't mind either way. Keeping them kidnapped would work but we also have discussed them without the kidnapping aspect. I'm down with either way.

@ hermione granger
Well we can do one of two ways (either of which I'm fine with )

Either we could opt outbid the kidnapping thing and have them be separated intentionally, because they need protection from someone. It could either have been their parents decision or we could pull a Harry Potter lmao and their parents were killed and someone else took charge of separating them to keep them apart and Kayleigh's character is then charged with getting them back together and maybe kind of looking out for them because now they've found the girls would be safer together.

Or we can keep the kidnapping idea, we just need to decide who kidnapped them and why; like they kidnapped them instead of killing them right so maybe they're keeping tabs on them for someone else until a certain time and Kayleigh's character is the one on the good guy side of things who wants to reunite them. Or if you wanted to be more complex about it the kidnappers could have been hired to steal them for someone but double crossed their employer and now the employer as well as the third main character are searching for them.

Whatever way we choose to go has plenty of potential for plot twists and dramatic effect

Yeah I think it adds another layer and element of mystery to the whole thing

@ hermione granger
@ starfire.

Ooh, what if we go further with the hired kidnapper idea?? The twins have abilities, that's an important thing, so maybe the original employer wanted them to do with that because why else, you know? And the hired kidnappers are fine with that, whatever, so long as they get their money. Then they're approached by a third party who get them to double-cross their original employer (the synopsis says that one twin stayed with their kidnappers - so the third party could have told them to take one of the girls while they relocated the other), which they do.

Then my character is affiliated with the family but if we do it that the kidnappers were hired and double-crossed their employer, then my character could be task with not only looking out for them and trying to reunite the two, but also as their protector? Like, they've been constantly told that they have to do whatever it takes to keep the twins safe and not allow the original employer to end up locating the twins and getting them (because if they were double-crossed they'd probably still want the twins if it's for their abilities), but they also can't let the twins know anything until they find each other so it's difficult.

That way there's various layers of how they ended up separated and away from their family.
