Haunted Hearts

A r r i v a l

Hello! For those of you who know me, you know that I created this AU, and something else... For those of you who don't, welcome! And I hope ya like Tim Burton's Nightmare Before Christmas...

You had just arrived to the neighborhood, you weren't sure what to make of it. On the photos it seemed lively and colorful, but now that you've arrived it seemed cold, desolate, Haunted, and bland...

The first house you instantly took notice to was a large, tower like house, it appeared to be sentient due to the two cat-like eyes that followed you everywhere you went... It made you uncomfortable that was for certain.

You noticed someone walking by, he wasn't human by any means, he reminded you of a rather large puppet, but, rather odd, like something out of a child's Halloween cartoon, his fingers were colored like a black and white snake and he appeared to have spiderwebs and spider decorations all over his hair.

"Well hello there!" The figure noticed you almost instantly, he walked over, he was much taller then you which made him somewhat intimidating. "I'm Eddie, Eddie Dear! Who are you?"

You swallowed, unsure if you should answer or not, you took a deep breath in and exhaled sharply before saying, "I'm Y/N, Y/N L/N, I just moved in." You told 'Eddie' and pointed to the house which resembled a black cat...

"Oh! I heard that place was haunted by a spirit, then again, ghosts fill our town! So don't be too worried about it." Eddie told you, his tone appeared to be cheerful and giddy, you didn't trust it. You simply nodded your head before you slowly shuffled away from him, but were caught by a shorter puppet who reminded you of the sun turned red...

"Hi! I'm Sally Starlet! It's a pleasure to meet you, Y/N! You should definitely come see one of my plays here soon!" The sudden light that illuminated from the sun made you jump back in caution, you gave her a quick thumbs up before running to your house.

You noticed that the house had an abandoned look to it, there were cobwebs everywhere. So, you decided to give it a quick clean, after you finished cleaning your new home it looked much better then before and was more lively.

"This is better..." You mumbled to yourself as you sat down on the freshly washed couch, you sighed in an exhausted way, you began to contemplate on going outside or not, unsure whether you wanted to meet the other residents or not. Surely nothing could be as terrible as that sentient house though, right?

Just as you were beginning to slouch, you heard a knock at your front door. You instantly got up and stared out of the peephole, what stood before the door was someone with grey skin, a sour look on their face, and the look of a mad scientist...

Your breath became extremely shallow as you opened the door, this being didn't seem like they wanted to meet you, and to be quite frank, you didn't want to meet them either.

"Oh, I was hoping you wouldn't open the door." The person looked up at you, his sour and grouchy look seemed to increase, "I'm Frank... Dr. Frank Finklestien Frankly..." He mumbled and looked away.

You couldn't help but slightly snicker at the 'Frank's' middle name being Finklestien. You quickly took a deep breath and extended your hand as you introduced yourself, "I'm Y/N, Y/N L/N, sorry for my rudeness by the way, your middle name amuses me-"

You tried to be as respectful as possible. Frank stared at your hand expressionlessly for a moment before extending his own hand and shaking it. He then walked off, leaving you to your own thoughts... You shrugged it off however and went into your house.

Little did you know, tomorrow would be MUCH more eventful...
