2 Your new name will be Aryen

It was the day where Lyra started her nightmares, while she was only eighteen years old when she was taken to be a test subject of an unknown drug that made her suffer for four years. 

She was an intelligent working student that fell on the hands of inhumane people who unconditionally experimenting her mercilessly. 

Nevertheless, revenge gave her strength to survive, while she bears the pain whenever they take her to test new drugs before trying it to another person. 

Vague memories emerged on Lyra's mind, but each of it was like a thousand needles piercing her heart, making her feel weak with unknown heartache. 

With deep pain on her veins, tears started to drop on Lyra's eyes, she doesn't know where she is, but suddenly there was a warm finger that gently wiped her tears. 

When Lyra open her eyes, a young man seems around twenty-six years old is smiling, but his eyes shows a deep sorrow while staring at her with tenderness on his face. 

His appearance is handsome, with thin kissable lips, high nose, long eyelashes and a pair of beautiful brown eyes that looks like made of jade. 

Seeing an unfamiliar man sitting on the edge of the bed, Lyra turned her head to look around, until she noticed that it was a big luxury room. 

Blinking her eyes with confusion, she looked back at the young man next to her and speaks with an unfamiliar clear voice like a water drops in a silent forest. "Who are you?" 

Lyra: "..." What happened to my voice? 

"You don't remember?" The young man asked with gentleness on his voice while scrutinizing Lyra's confused face after she speaks. "It's your new voice.." 

"New voice? How is it possible?!" She widened her eyes in disbelief, but Lyra can only think of the effect from the drugs that were injected to her body.

Although she couldn't comprehend the possibilities, Lyra tried to recall who he is, but she still has no idea. "I don't think I can remember you.." 

She tried to think but her head started to hurt when she attempts to remember what happened after the day she was been taken as a test subject. 

"Don't force yourself, there are things you might not remember after we escape." The young man said while his hands stroke Lyra's head like taming a beast. 

Not forcing to recall her nightmare, Lyra cannot recall how they escape, or rather she has an incomplete memory of what happen in the past four years. 

"What happened?" Lyra asked with confusion, but aside from her speculation that the young man knew who she is, her heart feels comfortable with him. 

Shaking his head in response, the young man forced a smile, but the next question made Lyra felt dumbfounded with a trembling heart. 

"Do you remember how you died for you to escape?" The young man said with grief and a teary eye, but deep in his heart was like a hundred of knives piercing without mercy. 

With a wide eye in disbelief, Lyra tried to ask. "Died? How did I die? But.. How am I still alive?.." Her voice is shaking while her heart began pumping fast. 

"I know it's hard to believe, but it's much better if you will remember it yourself." The young man said with hesitation, but the sadness on his voice cannot be ignored.

Lyra's mind doesn't give her an answer, there are vague memories, but it only hurt her head whenever she tries to remember the past. 

"My real name is Xiru, but from now on, you will call me Arren while your new name will be Aryen, my little sister." he said while scrutinizing her face. 

Digesting his words made Lyra feel complicated, she looked at Arren's eyes when she asked. "A new name? Changing identities? Are you telling me to forget..." She was interrupted.

"The lab already thought that we were dead. We can only live with a new identity unless you want them to find out that we are alive but it will put your daughter's life in danger." Arren immediately explained. 

"Daughter? That's impossible! I was only 18 when I was taken in the lab!" Aryen's voice is shaking, but every word she said felt like her heart is being ripped apart. "Are you telling me.. Someone touched me?"
