Aurora kept staring out the limousine window trying to block out what her parents were saying. She had just finished High School, she had been valedictorian and her parents had high hopes for her.

Although all her marks were practically perfect, what she really wanted was perform on stage to sing, dance and act in Operas and stage shows. But her parents had other ideas. They had already planned her future out for her. Aurora just wished that they had let her in on it.

"Aurora with your marks you could excel in university and become a doctor, a lawyer or a politician like your father" Her mother Janice told her kindly Aurora used to admire her mother she was beautiful with blonde hair always elegantly styled that suited her heart shaped face perfectly, Pale flawless skin all of which Aurora had inherited from her. Most of all, her mother was smart and she used it to the best of advantage in the partnership that she and her husband shared helping run the country.

"Your mother is right; performing is not a respectable way to live your life" Aurora's father joined in crushing her dreams. Alexander Davis had been the Prime Minister for two terms and seemed to be on a role, tall with bright blue eyes that Aurora had inherited and brown hair he had this whole look about him that said Do-Not-Mess-With-Me.

Aurora herself was tall and slim, with her mothers blonde hair that reached past her back when it was out, heart shaped face and fair skin. She had her father's bright blue eyes and a stubborn disposition to match.

Aurora loved both her parents she really did, but Performing on stage is something that she had wanted to do since she was younger she took dancing and singing lessons and was fantastic at both. She did debating and Drama at school and got leads in all the school plays. She had been building to this for years and now after all her hard work her parents were telling her that she couldn't do it.

"Mum, dad" Aurora finally turned to look at them "I have wanted to do this since I was five-

"We thought you would have grown out of it by now" Her father interrupted.

"Well the point is, I would be going to university part time and performing in between, I couldn't be a performer forever, this is just something I have been working towards since I was about five, I am old enough to take care of myself, I am an adult now, I want your blessing for this, but I will it with or without it"

The limousine pulled up to their destination, a benefit dinner which put an end to the conversation. It was time to play the perfect family. The door opened and her father stepped out and gave his hand to her mother to help her out. Then he offered his hand to Aurora which she took as she stepped out. The reporters were there snapping away, watching everyone arrive and go inside. It was all smiles and answering some questions then they were inside. Aurora was used to this, pretending everything way ok; it was like wearing a mask.

Masquerade people's faces on parade, Masquerade hide your face so the world will never find you…

Once inside they were seated near the front of the richly decorated conference room, First part of the night was dedicated to telling them about the benefit then entrée was served. Aurora made polite conversation with the family across from them, in particular Kyle a spoilt brat her age. He was taller than her, with blonde hair and brown eyes. To many he was gorgeous but Aurora knew his insides were poison. On the outside he was the kind of person that her parents wanted to see her with. To Aurora he was an annoyance that would never leave her alone.

During the main course Aurora escaped to the balcony, high above the city on the 20th floor of the hotel, looking around Aurora knew, just knew her parents weren't going to let her live her life they way she wanted. But despite what her parents were saying she knew she had to do this, wanted to do this.

It's my Life she thought furiously. Then she was interrupted by the worm that was Kyle, first trying to feel her up, then telling her that dessert was served. She moved quickly back inside to the table not wanting to be alone with him.

It happened later in the night anyway when Kyle asked her father if he might dance with her and her father said yes, Great Aurora thought sarcastically. They practically pushed her in to Kyle's arms, so that left her no option but to follow him out on to the dance floor, for a slow dance.

Aurora stared out past Kyle's shoulder trying to ignore him, and what he was talking about, himself.

"Women just seem to fall for me, there is something I have that just attracts them and I know you feel it" Kyle said pulling her closer and letting his hand that was on her back drift lower than was acceptable.

"The only thing I feel right now is you feeling up my backside" Aurora reached behind her and removed his hand from where it had wondered.

"Don't deny it Aurora, your parents want us to be together it is ok, you don't have to fight it anymore" He tried to pull her closer and kiss her, Aurora having had enough pushed hard against his chest and once she was released walked away, leaving Kyle shocked in the middle of the dance floor.

The rest of the night was a blur to Aurora really, her mind was really else where. On the future she wanted. This wasn't the first time that she and her parents had fought over it. But frankly she was sick of it. She loved her parents she really did but they were running her life and they would continue to do it unless she did something to stop it.

Over the next few weeks she continued to talk to her parents about her future career opportunities, they still would not permit it. She was planning to teach them a harsh lesson, that it was her life and she would live it how she saw fit, with no help from them.

Aurora organized a one bedroom apartment, two jobs: one at a café four days a week, waiting on tables and the other as a Promotional dancer. She was to be part of a six girl team that danced and posed for photos representing "Vodka Cruisers". It wasn't her dream job but the pay was great and it was only a few hours three nights a week. Aurora organized to trade her car from a BMW (A gift from mummy and daddy) to a cheaper Toyota, she used the extra money, plus her savings to secure the bond for the apartment and pay for her university tuition fees. She had decided to do a bachelor of arts part time two full days a week and even offered to baby sit for her new neighbor one night a week when she went to her AA meetings. On top of this, she was going to pursue her dreams to perform on stage.

She knew did all of this under an Alias name, Anna Davidson. She had the feeling that she wouldn't get far, if she couldn't cover her tracks.

Once she was sure she had everything she secretly started moving things to her apartment and buying things she would need. She had prangs of guilt that she was just going to disappear, but she planned on writing to her parents, so they knew she was ok. Aurora even went as far as to buy hair dye; she planned to dye her blonde hair to dark brown just as an extra precaution.

Finally it was time, she pretended she was going to a friends place for the night and said goodbye to her parents, they didn't know she was even gone until she didn't come home the next day. As expected.
