Cynthia's POV

I woke up to a knock on my door. I sat up, rubbing my eyes. I stretched, letting out a yawn.

"Cynthia? You in there?" Came Hiccups voice from behind my door.

I smiled, and pushed the covers back. I got out of bed, and walked over to my door.

I opened it to reveal a smiling Hiccup.

"Happy thirteenth birthday, Cynthia!" He exclaimed.

I grinned, "good morning to you too, Hiccup."

He smiled more, "I have a surprise for you back at my house. Would you like to come see what it is?"

I rolled my eyes playfully, "Hiccup, you know I don't like my birthdays to be a big deal."

He chuckled, "I know, but that doesn't mean we can't celebrate. Did you want to come see my surprise or not?" He asked.

I smirked, "fine. I'll be right out." I say before shutting my door.

I walk over to my bed, pulling out a box out from under it. I pull the top off of the box, and take out my usual clothes.

I push the box back under my bed, and stood up. I laid my clothes on my bed, and quickly get dressed.

I walk over to my small desk with a big slab of glass attached to my wall. I run a comb through my hair, and pull my hair into my usual ponytail.

I walk back to my door, and open it. I see hiccup leaning against the wall, and smile.

"Okay. Ready." I say.

He smiles as well, and we walk out of my house together.

We make it to Hiccup's house, and he stops me right as we get to the front door.

"Close your eyes." He says.

I tilt my head, "why?" I ask.

He sighs playfully, and stepped behind me. He wrapped his hands over my eyes, and I giggled.

"What are you doing?" I ask.

"If you won't close your eyes, then I'm doing this." He says.

I roll my eyes, and stumble slightly when he starts to lead me into the house.

"Okay, you ready?" He asked.

I nodded, "I guess." I say.

He uncovers my eyes, and they widen when I see a big cake, and box wrapped up with a string next to it.

I smile at him, "Thanks Hiccup. Though, I still wish you didn't go to all this trouble."

He shakes his head, "Its no trouble. Really."

I give him a doubtful look, and he gives me a reassuring smile.

"You want some cake?" He asked, motioning to the cake.

I looked at it, and nodded. He walked over to it, and out a slice on a plate. He handed it to me, and I took it slowly.

"Thank you." I smile, and begin to eat.

"And after we finish the cake, I've got a present for you." He said, getting a slice of cake for himself.

I looked at the box next to the cake, and smiled.

"You know, I do appreciate all this, but you didn't have to do it." I tell him.

"I know. And I also didn't have to let you live with me three years ago. But I did, and now I'm throwing you a birthday party. You deserve it." He explained, smiling brightly at me.

I smiled sadly, looking down at my necklace. Hiccup seemed oblivious to what he just said, and went to sit down on his couch.

I look around, before quickly finishing my cake. I place it down on the table, and quietly back away to the door. I open it, and step out. I quickly close it again, and reach a hand up to grip my necklace.

I step down off of his porch, and run into the woods. I ran until I ended up at a cliff that was above a quiet ocean.

I grip my necklace tighter, and went to the edge of the cliff.

I sat down, letting my legs swing off the edge of the cliff. I bit my lip as memories resurfaced, and close my eyes loosely.

"I thought I might find you here."

I quickly turned around to see Hiccup standing there.

I blushed, "How'd you know I was here?" I ask.

"This is your favorite place to come when your upset...you've made that quite clear in the past few years." He mumbled, walking to sit by me, his legs swinging off the edge like mine.

I looked down in slight guilt, "I know..." I say quietly.

"Also this was where you and your parents liked to come to relax. It's only natural this is where you'd go. Though, after what happened when we were eleven, I wish they hadn't picked a spot that had a cliff to relax." He chuckled.

I smiled slightly, "Yeah..sorry about that." I say.

He shakes his head, "I understand." He paused, "why did you run off?" He asked.

I looked back out to the ocean, "Well, you mentioned the five years I lived with you, and some memories resurfaced...I-I just needed to clear my head." I explain.

He smiled slightly, "Do you still remember the story?" He asked.

I looked at him, "of course I do...how could I not?" I ask.

He shrugs, "I don't know, but you know," He dragged out the know, "I could use a refresher." He finished.

I give him a look, "You seriously want to relive all that?" I ask.

He nods, "talking helps." He says.

I sigh, "Fine. The whole thing started on the day before my fifth birthday."
