Chapter 1
SECRETS
***
I wrap my arms around his neck to deepen the kiss. He carried me towards the bed and stayed on top of me. I've been with different guys but this guy is better. I moaned when I felt him in between my thigh, his so turned on but I still wanna have fun. He's already topless so I ran my fingers from his chest down to his abs and v line then he moaned. God, that turned me on.
I pushed him and now I'm on top of him. He was watching me with so much lust and I know I'm looking at him the same way. I sat on his crutch and glided myself. I can't help but moan while his hands was roaming around my half naked body. And now he changed our position and was now placing his finger inside me when-
"Ruby! Open up!" Fuck! What does she want?! We didn't reach halfway, yet here she is ruining our moment. I pushed Adam and put on my clothes. "Oh come on, Babe. Just... don't mind her. Let's finish what we started."
"Shut up, Adam. Put on your clothes and leave." He was about to say something when I opened the door and went to look for Nina. I'm gonna kill that bitch!
I went downstairs and saw her on the couch grinning. I gave her a glare.
"What is wrong with you?! Don't you know the word privacy?! Ugh! Stop grinning!"
She laughed so I sat beside her and gave her a smack. "Ouch! I know you and Adam where having se-"
I cut her off. "We were just making out because you interrupted- " Adam walked down the stairs and waved at us then left the house.
"I didn't mean to interrupt you, sistah. Tumatawag kasi ang mommy mo. I didn't answer it because the call wasn't mine."
She called? Strange. She doesn't call at this type of day. She only calls every weekend. Ano naman ang problema ng babaeng yun? I visited her last week and parang may iniisip siyang malaking problema dahil palagi nalang siyang tulala. I better call her dahil parang may mali eh.
The moment the phone rang she answered it. "Ma, bakit tumawag ka?" I heard her sigh "Anak, marami kang dapat malaman. It's not good to talk about in the phone, so pwede ka bang pumunta dito as soon as possible?"
Mom's voice sound so worried. What does she want to tell me? I told her that I'd come and ended the call.
"Anong sabi ni Tita?" I faced Nina and sighed. "She told me that marami daw akong kailangan malaman. She sounds like she was about to lose me." Kumunot ang noo ni Nina at tumingin siya sakin na parang may ideya.
"Paano kung kukunin ka na ng dad mo? O baka naman ampon ka lang? My gad! Baka kukunin ka na ng mga alien- aray! Bakit nambabatok ka ha?!"
"First of all. Matagal na akong walang ama. Second, hindi ako ampon. Magkamukha kami ni Mom. Third, anong alien ang sinasabi mo?!" Nagpeace sign siya sakin and I rolled my eyes at her.
"Magbihis ka na. I'm leaving in 30, you'll have to come with me." Aayaw sana siya but I stopped her. "No buts, Janina."

We arrived at our mansion. I've been staying with Nina since I turned 18, two years ago. I wanted to be independent and start making my own life. I meet her on my first day of Senior years when she suddenly bumped me. So long story short, we became bestfriends
I was busy locking my car when Nina spoke. "Ruby, aren't you surprised why your place is so quiet? Where are the guards, maids, butlers? It's impossible that your Mom wouldn't need them."
Oo nga noh? Where are they? "Pasok tayo. Just keep quiet." I've never seen our place this quiet. Even if there are times na walang made, meron namang guards o butler.
"And isn't it weird that the surrounding is cooler than outside your gates? Impossible namang may aircon dito sa front yard nyo?"
What's going on here? Something's really not right. Parang ibang bansa dito. Napakalamig.
When we entered the huge main door, the temperature fell even more. It fells like we're in Antarctica, the wall looks like its covered in ice.
I searched for my mom. The place doesn't look like a wreck. Everything is where its meant to be.. The only problem is the silence and the falling temperature.
Janina's face became serious and told me that maybe my mom left but she was interrupted by steps coming from the stairs.
It was my mom. But something's changed. Her eyes look so dull and lifeless. Her beauty looks like it's glowing. But something about her aura makes me doubt that she's my mom. What happened to her? Who is she?
"Hello, dear. I thought you would never come."
The way she talks sent shivers to my spine. This is not my mom. My mom's voice sounds like music to the ears. But now, it sounds like toxic when she calls.
"Who are you?"
"Seriously, dear? You don't know your own mother? Well ain't that painful to hear."
Nina was holding my hand so tight. Like she's on guard.
"That's not Tita Sophia, Ruby. I don't trust that bitch." Pinukol siyag ng masamang tingin kay mommy.
"You shouldn't have called me that, young one. I was trying my best to be thoughtful and friendly. But... isn't it better to show you what I have without telling you the truth?"
When she stepped forward, three meters away from us. She showed her palms and what really shock me was the bullet sized ice that showed.
"Let me introduce myself. I am Khione, a nymph that creates ice and snow. Because of that freaking father of yours, you were maid. I used to be happy having you but I keep having this dream that you will take my power. I made you stay in this world, I gave you a happy life. But what would you repay me?! Taking away my ability?!"
"I don't know any of this, Mom. And you can have it all to yourself." I just want my sweet mother back.
"Oh, I know, Darling. But the only way I can have it is to kill you... and your friend. Don't want any information out of this house right?"
