Hey there! This is my second fanfic on here. It is a whole new story from the first one, though I'm not done with that one, and I'm not done with this one either! :D If you want to, just check out my other story, it's based off Maximum Ride and called 'After Angel'. This story, on the other, is not based off anything, really. It's a story that I created, but I use real people in it. To be more specific, K-Pop stars...if you go to my page you'll understand why. ;D But it really has nothing to do with Korean culture, I just borrowed the people. My storyline is based off many things, so if something sounds familiar, that's why. Hope you like it! I will also have this posted on very soon! (:

SECRETS UNTOLD

Summary: I may seem like the perfect girl. I compete in various singing competitions, take violin and piano lessons, and also take up martial arts. So yeah, my life is freakishly normal if not perfect. That is why when I was finally shipped off to a private school in Seoul, my perfect life started to take a turn. 18 is supposed to be the golden age, the age where you make decisions by yourself and become an adult. Well, I became an adult, alright; that and so much more. I experienced situations which I couldn't comprehend and unexpected circumstances that left me dumbfounded. If only my mom hadn't signed that stupid contract! Would I still be chained to a demonic woman if it wasn't for her? And only if I hadn't met and trusted that...boy, that strange angelic boy, would the decision between earth and hell still be so difficult? And now I was only a week away from having my freedom taken away from me. A week away from having my life totally ripped to shreds.

A week away from Hell.

Preface/Chapter 1: Park Mina feared that she was infertile. Of course, she knew this wasn't the case. Of course she was perfectly capable of having children, but you couldn't blame her for thinking so. In the last year, she had given birth to and lost 3 kids. Two of them died even before they were born, inside her, and the other in the doctor's hands, only a minute after it was born. Mina had mourned for them deeply, but she was determined to have a child of her own. Her husband, SeungTae cared very much for her and he too wanted a kid, but he was worried about her.

"Are you sure you want this?" he had asked.

"Of course! You know how much I want a child, Seung-ah, and we both want to raise one!" She had replied, defiant.

"I know, Mina, I know, I want a child too, but—" she had cut him off.

"Then what's the problem? But what? I've lost 3 children already, I'm not going to lose another one." Mina had ranted on.

"But I don't want to see you struggling. I hate to see you in pain." SeungTae had said.

After a minute of silence, Mina then replied again with a much softer tone. "Mianhae. But I want this child. More than anything. If we get a child this time, it will be worth the struggle."

"And if we don't?"

Mina exhilarated a frustrated sigh. "We will," she had said determinedly. "We will." she had confirmed.

And here they were again, most likely doomed to the same fate. The fourth baby girl had survived enough to be born into the world, but it was doubted if it would actually survive any much longer; the little baby girl was very ill.

That night, the baby grew even more sick, hours away from the doors to death. It was confirmed, the doctors had said, that the baby would die. Mina requested to be alone to grieve in quiet. An hour later, at midnight, something very strange happened. She was curled up in her hospital bed, face buried in her hands, crying her eyes out, when all of a sudden, someone called her name, in a sing-song tone.

"Park Mina."

The voice was only a few inches away; it was right next to her hospital bed. She slowly looked up.

Her screams were muffled by her visitor's hands. The woman before her was definitely creepy. She was tall and thin with dark hair and red highlights. Piercings were all over her face, but despite it, she was still pretty. Her nails were like talons, red with black flames. She wore a leather jacket, ripped jeans, and bright red lipstick. The thing that was scariest about her though, was not her piercings or gothic appearance. When you looked into her eyes, it was as if you could see yourself being torn apart to shreds. As if your heart was being squeezed of all its blood. As if your soul was burning in her very eyes.

The demon-like lady dug the palm of her hand into Mina's mouth and she was reduced to muffled sobs. The wretched woman finally removed her long white hands from Mina's face and with those pierced-red lips, she gave her a big, creepy smile.

"You took a much shorter time to calm down than the others." she curiously noted.

"U-uhh...who are y-you?" Mina stuttered.

The woman laughed cruelly. "It is not who I am that matters," she said, "but why I am here." Mina gave her a blank but frightened look.

"Your child will die. Your child will die tonight, in a few hours." the evil woman told her bluntly. Mina's fear dissolved, quickly replaced by anger.

"You don't know that! You don't know! My baby could live! I'll make sur—!" she was cut off.

"The child will die. Unless I can do something about it."

"How?" she finally asked. She didn't question what the strange woman was talking about or what she would do to save her child or even who she was. But one thing Mina did know: she was desperate for any way, now, to save her baby.

The cruel woman chuckled once more. "Don't you worry about that. There's only one thing you have to do. The only thing you need to worry about, Park Mina, is signing a contract for me." Mina gave her another blank look. She had no idea what the woman was talking about.

"Make a deal with me."

"What kind of deal?" Mina asked her warily.

The woman's sinister smile broadened, sending a shiver down her spine. "I will let the girl live. I will give her at least 17 years of a normal life. A life which she can cherish and enjoy."

"Yes! Yes?" she urged her on, now eager.

"I will let your baby live under one condition. When the child turns 18, she is mine."

"W-what?"

The woman laughed softly. "I don't mean to say I will take her away, not exactly. The girl is still your daughter no matter what. But when she turns 18, if I call for her bidding, she will come. She will do as I say. For that, I will promise her life." the woman told her.

"I-I don't understand." Mina said in shock.

"Not to worry! Just understand this: I am allowing your daughter to be cured from this illness. I am going to let her live, and when she turns 18...she will complete a task for me. All you have to do to ensure your daughter's survival is...sign." the woman said as she pulled out a contract from inside her jacket.

Mina looked at the document in front of her. If she was in her right mind, she would have asked the woman what exactly she meant. How could she cure the baby if these professional doctors couldn't? What did she mean that at 18, her daughter would complete a task for her? Who was this strange woman before her? Mina would have asked her all this if she was thinking properly, but at the moment, she was not. In fact, Mina was doing completely the opposite. She was a desperate crying mess, determined to keep this child alive no matter what. So without any hesitation at all, she pricked herself with a pin lying nearby, and pressed down on the contract.

With a quiet WOOSH, the woman had curled up the contract and tucked it away.

"Blood always works the best," she said with an eerie smile, "Blood seals the deal." With that, the lady was gone, leaving Mina to wonder if this had all been a dream, or if it was actually reality.

Well, yup, that's it! Hope you liked it, and if I get any feedback, that would be great. But I think I'm going to continue anyway whether you give me feedback or not lol. But...it's still appreciated... :D

Oh and, BTW, I know this is not specifically under one category...I just didn't know what to put it under as...it's in Misc and Anime/Manga though it is not really lol...just thought I'd put that out there to anyone who cares! :)
