You were at the kitchen table at around midnight with a cupcake that had a candle on it in front of you. You took a breath before looking at the clock. Five more minutes until your birthday.

You sighed again as the belt with all your knives swayed. Your birthday was cursed and whoever celebrated it with you would get bad luck. That's how you lost your family and friends. You even got the nickname "black cat". You hated it. Tears swelled up in your eyes as you took a shaky breath.

You looked at the clock again, one more minute until midnight. You looked at your cupcake as tears rolled down your face. "I..I wish I wasn't bad luck..." You whispered as you pulled the cupcake close. The 2nd and 1st hand on the clock struck twelve as you blew out the candle. You took out the candle and hid it in the fridge.

As you walked, your knives swayed on your belt, you were wiping your tears away. You opened your bedroom door and closed it quietly. You sighed again before taking your belt off and hanging it next to your coat. You sat on your bed.

You held your hands before looking at a picture on your desk. It was your little sister and you at DisneyWorld. You sighed and laid on your bed. Tears swelled up as you remembered how the bad luck killed your little sister. You closed your eyes and did your best to sleep.

- Morning -

There was a loud banging at your door as you got dressed. "Hold on," you got your shirt and belt of knives on, "come in." You saw Toby opening the door with a box with ribbons. 'Wait... box..? Ribbons..? Oh no.' "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" Toby then noticed you crying.

"Hey, are you ok?" Toby asked, you unclipped a knife and threw it at the box. The containment was not broken, but the box flew off Toby's hands and hit the floor. "Please don't Toby. My birthday is cursed." You stated as tears rolled down your eyes.

You got your jacket on and left the room. Toby got the knife out of the box and quickly followed you. "Don't you want to celebrate your birthday?!" Toby asked, you clutched your fists as you growled lowly. You unclipped another knife as Toby was a few feet from you.

You spun around and threw the knife straight at Toby. The knife caught his sleeve and made him pinned to the wall. "Stay away from me." You growled before walking to the door and swinging it open. Jeff, Sally, Slenderman, and Ben walked in as you left and slammed the door shut.

"What did you do now Toby?" Slenderman asked as Toby pulled the knife out. "I was just trying to celebrate her birthday... I should apologize..." Toby placed the gift on a table before trotting to follow you. He knew exactly where you'd be. There was a clearing you practiced at.

Just as Toby predicted, you were at the clearing. Well, he didn't think you'd be sitting in front of the pond. Toby took a breath before walking over and sitting next to you. Before he could even speak, you spoke. "I'm sorry Toby." Toby looked at you and saw your dried tear stained cheeks.

"I'm a horrible friend..." Toby laid his hand on your back and gently rubbed it as you sniffled and allowed tears to fall into the grass.

"No, I'm sorry. I should have known that... um... little fact about... ya know..." Toby said as you glanced at him. You took a breath before pulling your knees close. "So... we're good?" You asked, Toby smiled and nodded. You smiled back and stared at the water. "Could I give you a different gift?" You nodded before Toby removed his mouth cover.

Just to check in, part of Toby's lip wasn't there. It looked like it was torn off. You released your legs as you slightly blushed. Toby leaned in quickly and gave your lips a quick kiss. You were blushing as Toby pulled away. He had a small blush spread on his face. "Well... um... Happy Birthday."

You smiled before a tree branch landed on Toby. You face-palmed yourself as Toby said "... I'm ok ..."

How could you forget the curse?!?
