My name is Kao(pronounced Kay-oh), but I'll be speaking for Evan (pronounced eh-van) too. Evan and I are twins, we're even identical. When we were kids our mother used to dress us in the same outfits and we got the same haircuts and stuff. It was crazy, no one could tell us apart, they still can't.
Our parents were cray rich. Our dad does something for the government, but we're not allowed to know what it is, because it's a 'security risk'. When we were kids Evan was scared that our dad was an assassin. It was pretty ridiculous. Our mom didn't work, she spent a lot of her time painting and taking care of us when we were little. She still paints a lot, but she's gone most of the time playing tennis or going shopping with friends.
Evan and I have always been best friends. It sounds cliché, since we're twins and all, but that's how it was. Neither of us was very extroverted, so we kept to ourselves.
Evan was the first to discover that he had a gift. One day he woke up and there it was. He could control two elements, air and water. It fits him, of course. Air and water are supposed to be very happy and free elements, and he's like that a lot.
He spent hours practicing, he could make little balls of water fly around our room and turn them into ice marbles, and he could levitate our pet dog five feet in the air. I was sick with jealousy, but it didn't look like I had a power. What a letdown.
It was a few days before my power developed to. I could control earth and fire, which was cool. I could light candles and throw rocks at people without actually throwing the rock. I figured out that fire didn't burn me, and I could make plants grow.
It was Evans idea to show mom. He made a necklace for her out of ice, which was a nice thought, but kind of misguided. Mom was cool with keeping our powers a secret, as long as I gave her lilies whenever she wanted them and Evan made her ice necklaces that never melted. It was stupid to try, really. Dad came back and asked mom why we had a bunch of apple and cherry trees in the backyard when it was to cold to grow them, and why she had a necklace made of ice. Mom tried to tell him it was nothing, but she really can't lie to him, and Dad sent us here, after asking Evan to make him a few more ice necklaces so he could sell them. And that seems to be it.
(Evan, who is reading over my shoulder, wants me to tell you what we look like. So here it is.)
We're both tall, blond, and kind of skinny. We've got green eyes, and I guess we're really pale, compared to a lot of people, but we're from Maine, so it's not that weird. (Evans wants me to add that I have an earring, and that we're both 'hot', according to his ex.) We're not that into fashion, but Evan has a thing for skinny jeans, and I tend to wear similar clothes, for the sake of messing with people.
(Evan wants me to say that he didn't really say that his ex thought he was hot, and that I have mis-represented his personality traits. He says that he is not that naive and girly in real life. I have to agree with him, because he's threatening to dye my hair black while I'm sleeping.)
