Terrible Things

A/N

This one is about Mason and Amber (Hiccups daughter). Mason is telling Crookedface (who is one of his sons) about his mother, who died giving birth to their children. There. So now let's get on to it!

Maison to Crookedface

By the time I was your age, I knew just one thing. I'd never find someone to be with forever, never find a love. One of the many things I was wrong about, was this simple thing. That's when I met your mother, the girl of my dreams. She too loved me, and we joined each others lives. I treasured her as she should've been, my perfect Amber. So timeless and perfect, she should've lived forever. One day, she told me "We're going to have kits!". It was with great joy, I told my friends and family. But when you and your siblings were born, something went wrong. It shouldn't have, she had everything and everyone she needed. But sadly, your mother died that night, leaving me alone with you and your siblings. I avoided you, thinking you'd blame me for your mother's death. It was my dearest friend, who opened my eyes to the light. He said even though your mother had been his daughter, he didn't hold it against me or even blame me that she'd died. And so he told me that you would be more likely to hate me for staying away, than the death of your mother. I ran back to you, and as you know have taken care of you. But I hope that you learn that life can do terrible things. And I hope and pray that what happened to me, won't happen to you. I can't bear to see your pain, for it's my pain too. So if you ever fall in love, just remember this: life can do terrible things. And the only reason I'm telling you this now, son is to prepare you now, so you won't be so broken as I me. So you're not so naive and think nothing will happen. Son, you should know of this. Your face is crooked, a deformity that should've never happened. But no matter what happens. If anyone taunts you, or tells you you're useless, just remember one thing. My friend - your grandfather - is deformed too. And he's the leader of your clan. *sighs*. The one thing I'll never get over is that our family has suffered
