There was a great deal of spying on both sides of the Spectrum. The traversing folk, or those who belonged to one side, but could easily pass for the other, also known as the Eyes of Gossip, were making a fortune. They didn't offer their information for free, and no one wanted to have their news muddled.

      It had been like this a few months ago, but not on such a large scale. On both sides, a baby girl was going to be born. But the rumor was that either the boy, one born on each side a few months ago, or this new baby girl(again, one on each side), would be the Hero, and Anti Hero.

        Both sides wanted to steal the other's girl, in hopes of either converting her, or using her as leverage. Neither side knew the other was plotting the exact same thing.

        The moment had arrived, and both baby's, low born, were beautiful. The parents on the Light side were overjoyed. Her eyes (e/c). The tuft of hair on the back of her head was (h/c). They named her (Y/n). The excited parents quickly ran to tell their neighbors, and left (Y/n) alone, because, they told themselves, this would take only two minutes. Unfortunately for them, the shadow waiting in the corner needed only seconds. The baby was in his arms, and he disappeared out the window before the parents returned. They never saw her again.

      Ida was the child from the Dark side, and she was not as much missed by her parents, who took one look at her apple red eyes, and mop of onyx hair, and knew that they didn't care whether she disappeared or not. They left the nursery to escape the incessant crying, and when it abruptly stopped, they were curious. They were surprised, and although they felt a twinge of sadness, they continued their lives, and pretended it never happened.

       Young Ida stared at her kidnappers hatefully as they passed though one of the only mildly reliable portals between the two sides.

       (Y/n) looked at the strange, red eyed people who were holding her. She didn't know what was going on, but as soon as she passed though the portal, she had some feeling that she shouldn't be there. She was put into a dark room, with another child scowling at her, and glaring intensely.
