It was weird, the Changing. It was like someone was showing Aurora a film of her life, but they disappeared after they had been shown — the memories vanishing like a puff of smoke. Aurora could only watch, she couldn't keep the memories, once they had been showed they then disappeared from her brain forever.
The first memory came to the front of Aurora's mind fast. It was strange. She was watching her younger self sat at a meeting table with an old woman whose blonde hair was tightly tied back into a tight bun. Aurora could tell that her younger self was terrified — she was griping the chair tightly and digging her nails into the plush cushion.
"Subject A0 — "
" — A0?" her younger self inquired, "I don't understand!"
"That is quite normal," the older women said in a weary voice, "now, your new name is Aurora."
"Aurora? I don't like that name! Why can't I have the name mummy gave me? Where's Stephen? Where's my brother?" she cried, banging her small fists on the table.
"Now Subject A2 is slightly occupied at the moment but —"
" — where's Stephen? Où est mon frère? Où est ma maman? Je veux aller a la maison! [Where is my brother? Where is my mummy? I want to go home!]" Aurora's younger self cried, getting more distraught by the second.
The older woman pushed a red button on her desk and a moment later, Aurora's mother came rushing in — wearing a white lab coat and a clipboard tightly held in her hands.
"Mummy!" the young girl cried, running up to her mother and hugging her, "Where's Stephen?"
Her mother brushed two loose strands out of Aurora's face and tucked them behind her ear. "I'll take you to him now sweetheart. But Stephen isn't Stephen anymore, his name is Thomas now."
"Pourquoi avons-nous de nouveaux noms? Je ne les aime pas. [Why do we have new names? I don't like them.]" younger Aurora quietly murmured to her mother, still under the scrutinizing glare of the elder woman.
"I'm not finished with Subject A0 yet, Delilah." the woman said sternly, "We have still have some blood tests to run."
Delilah scoffed, flicking her brown hair over her shoulder. "I will be taking my daughter, Ava, and I shall run the test myself. I am a suitable doctor, don't you think so?"
Ava scribbled something frantically onto her clipboard that Aurora and Delilah couldn't see, before waving her hand, meaning they were free to go.
