"Come on mum, you can't be serious. I mean what's life without taking a few risks." Rory short for Aurora questioned her mother.
"It's a life lived safely, Aurora." Her mother answered sternly before giving her a brief kiss on the forehead.
Sadly...

Aurora sulked as her parents and brothers along with Reina stood around her.
They didn't seem to understand what she was going through.
"you seriously can't still be sulking." Mike said when he looked at her
"you took something so important away from me and you stand there and say 'I can't seriously be sulking'!"
"oh please Aurora you should be greatful for your new face."
"I should be greatful!" aurora yelled at Mike enraged
"you wanted a fresh start. I gave you one now be greatful " "you are really a ass--"
"aurora darling." their mother cut in. Her tone was sweet but it was daring.
"look I'm glad you guys gave me a chance, but changing my face something that identifies me as me without speaking to me was unfair."
"aurora you worked for an organization that disabled mafia's those mafia's you disabled now know what you look like. Hell that Jacob guy knows what you looked like." her father tried explaining
Aurora sighed, she knew they were right she was just looking for a reason to be mad.
"so what's my new name? I oblivious can't be Aurora Rossi."
Her mother handed her an ID "Samantha Drake."
"Drake?" aurora questioned
"my median name." her mother explained "you darling are going to be known as my niece."
Aurora nodded looking into a the mirror she kept close. "Samantha Drake." she whispered.
"We know this isn't ideal but it's what's going to work for all of us right now" her mother sighed
"We are going to do our best to keep you hidden." Aurora's father said with a sigh as he took a seat
"hidden? Where?" Aurora's curiosity spiked. She wanted to know. She didn't want go be kept in the dark about anything concerning her future.
"At a boarding school in England." her mother said.
Aurora chuckled "England?" She shook her head she wasn't stupid she knew there was more then this story of them wanting to keep her hidden in England. There's something they wanted. "What's the actual reason y'all are sending me to England for?"
"excuse us?" Chris said walking closer.
Aurora huffed at the fact they were going to play stupid "I've been in this game for a long time. You wanna keep me hidden you hid me behind your high walls and never let me leave the house. You bring in a tutor one you trust with your life to teach me. You don't send me halfway across the world. So I'm going to ask again why are y'all sending me to England."
Samuel sighed shaking his head. His twin was good he had to admit that.
Reina stepped forward no longer wanting to hide the truth "We need you to become close with one of the students there. His family is becoming a problem for us and they are searching for you more then anything right now."
Aurora looked at her family sadly before laughing "You guys are no different from Jacob and everyone else who only wanted me in their lives to use me."
"That's not true darling." her mother stepped towards her and aurora walked backwards to maker sure there was a lot of distance between them.
Mike enraged by seeing the look of hurt on his mothers face because of Aurora's actions lashed out. "You are a spoilt brat! Your family is in danger, you are in danger and all we need for you is to get up and fight like the rest of us but you would rather act like a little bitch."
"Mike!" his father yelled having not liked the way he spoke to his sister.
Although aurora was hurt she knew Mike was right. But she was just so tired of having to be the one who had to stand up and fight. She just wanted it to be someone else's turn. Blinking her tears away she looked at her family "when do I leave."
Reina didn't agree with all of this. She felt that it was unfair and that aurora is still to young to be doing all of this. Seeing aurora submit made her angry to the point she huffed and walked out the room. She wasn't the only one who left though. Nick and Samuel followed her.
"Its going to be all over soon my dear." her father said as he kissed her forehead. Aurora would have believe him if only he believed what he was saying himself. He walked out the room with his wife who sent aurora a sad smile.
"You leave in two days. I'll go get everything ready." Mike said as he also left, Chris following him not far behind.
"You don't have to do this you know." Matthew said after a minute of silence.
"You and I both know that's not true Matt. I have to get up and fight like the rest of you, on the plus side at least I'm not new to this."
"You can run away.." Matthew blurted out
Aurora let out a small sad laugh "and go where?"
"Anywhere. I'm sure you have save houses. You can't tell me you've lived such a dangerous life but don't have places to hide when things get so bad"
"all my safe houses are only accessible by my face. Without my face I can't go in. The people I could run to for help? I can't go to them now because I don't have my face."
"Its why you were so angry we did this without talking to you." Matthew realised
"yes!" aurora cried out "my face. The one I was born with. Y'all took it away without even asking me if I was okay with that." aurora took a deep breath "but it's done, it's over and done with so there is no point of me sulking and crying about it."
"for what it's worth. I'm sorry." Matthew apologized
Aurora smiled "Its okay. Look I have to start getting ready for England."
Matthew walked over to her and kissed her forehead. "let me leave you to it"
