I sat in the front seat of my father's car with my hands on my lap, my back straight and my head held high with a stern glare right on my face. My father had the same expression on his face grasping the steering wheel ever so tightly his jaw clenched. The air was tense filled with anger and confusion from me. I looked over at my father and gave a small sigh letting my shoulders fall and my head slightly drooping.

"I still don't understand why I have to leave…"

My father gave a small frustrated sigh but giving a small sad frown.

"No school wanted to take you in dear. Kept saying your record is very well known for your… "creative arts". So you will be living with aunt and uncle to go to New Holland High till I can find a school that will take you in. Don't worry, you have your cousin Victor. Do you remember him dear?"

I gave a small shrug. Its been a many years since I have even seen my beloved cousin. I gave a small smile though, I still call him when given the chance, telling me his crazy adventure with Sparky and the other undead pets.

"Yeah, we still talk."

"Good, maybe he can help you make some new friends and make you right at home. Won't that be nice?"

"Yeah I guess… it would be nice to have friends…"

My father glanced at me at the corner of his eye and gave a small smile. I smiled back but drop my gaze back at my hands

"And if you behave you may get a new kitten."

My head shot up in surprise. I once had a cat who been with me been since birth but she died when I turned thirteen, now sixteen almost seventeen old Junior in highschool still no pet. Which theres not much to complain its hard to get a new pet when you are practically raised with a loyal pet at your side since birth. But since I started high school again I'm basically a loner with people always picking on me, I wouldn't mind a new companion.

"Really?" I asked softly.

"As long as you behave yourself young lady. If you can stay in the school for at least a full semester with no calls from the principal, teachers or you aunt and uncle then yes you may have a new pet. Deal?"

"Deal." I replied with no hesitation.

Father nod as well not taking his eyes off the road. I just hope my life in my new home is better than my last.

~New Holland~

"Dear is the guest room ready for Iris?" Susan Frankenstein asked her husband Ben Frankenstein.

"Yep, everything is prepared for when she arrives. I can't believe it's been ten years since we've seen her. I wonder how much has changed." Ben said with a thoughtful look.

"We'll see when she gets here dear. Victor was so excited to hear that she was coming, I'm so glad that he still talks to her even after all these years. Your brother said that Lavender has been ignoring her own sister! That just so sad." Susan said with a small frown.

Ben wrapped an arm around his wife's shoulder and gave a small frown as well.

"They have been having their ups and downs for years dear. From what Lewis said Lavender only cares about social life instead of her own sister. Heck Lavender went far enough saying she has no sister all."

Susan gave a small gasp.

"Then why doesn't he send Lavender here instead? Maybe we can straighten her out."

"That's what I said. But Lewis said that Iris couldn't get into any school since her… little incident from last year happen. So he saw it fit better for Iris to come here instead. Hoping a new environment might do her some good too, maybe even open her up a little bit make some friends. Don't worry he said he will deal with Lavender when he returns home."

Susan and Ben said nothing else but stared at the comfortable guest room that will used by their niece. They had cleaned it out wanting Iris to place her own nicknacks inside to make her feel right home hopefully. Victor had even helped out by placing out some gifts he always wanted to give her but never given the chance (or had the money to do it). Most of the gifts are paintings of ballerinas in dark forest either dancing around or giving a certain pose. Others were either paintings of Norse, Egyptian, Greek or Roman Gods. There is even a little book shelf on the side of the wall filled with horror, science fiction, syfy, drama and mystery genre of books.

Lewis Frankenstein said they will bring some things that Iris wanted to bring so she she has something to do if she had the free time. They had agreed to it wondering what their niece will bring.

"Is the guest room ready?" A slight deep voice asked. The couple turned and smiled at their son, Victor. Victor didn't really change much the only thing that really change was his height. He wore a loose button of shirt and a pair of black pants. Right beside him was Sparky looking rather old but happily wagging his stitched tail.

"Yep and Iris should be here any minute. Are you excited to see her again?"

Victor gave a small smile.

"Yeah. I sometimes forget we're cousins. Feels like we're siblings or best friends since we get each other." Sparky gave a bark at Victor making him chuckle.

"Other than you Sparks." Sparky gave a happy bark.

The family gave a small laugh enjoying the moment they were having.

`*Knock* Knock*

The family perked at this with Sparky barking and running in circles.

"I got it!" Victor said happily. Victor ran out of the hallway to the door with his mother giggling and his father shaking his head with a smile on his face. When Victor hit the last step of the staircase step he fixed his hair and shirt trying to look presentable to his uncle and cousin. When he got near the door he open it to see a man that looked exactly identical like his father but with a five o'clock shadow some silver going in his slick black hair from age. The man smiled at seeing Victor and his eyes wide with surprise.

"Victor?"

Victor can only smile at his Uncle Lewis with a small nod. Lewis gave a small laugh and open his arms embracing his nephew.

"Oh you have grown so much since the last time I saw you!"

Lewis pulled back seeing that Victor was giving small smile.

"It's good to see you too Uncle Lewis. How are you?"

"So far alright so far my boy. How have you been?"

"I've been good."

"Hello Lewis."

Both Victor and Lewis turn to see Ben and Susan with warm smiles on their faces as well.

"Well isn't it my brother and his lovely wife how are you two?"

"We're just fine Lewis. Now wheres my favorite niece at?" Susan asked with excitement in her voice looking over her brother-in-law's body. Lewis couldn't help but chuckle slightly happy to see that his brother's family is excited to have Iris in their home.

"She fell asleep in the car. I didn't have the heart to wake her just yet…" Lewis looked over to see his daughter's head leaning on the window sleeping ever so peacefully. A hand grasped his shoulder giving a small squeeze, Lewis glanced at the hand and to see who it was connected to. Only to see Victor give a warm smile.

"Don't worry Uncle. We'll take care of her, some of my friends are excited to see her. I'll try to help her in anyway possible."

Lewis looked back to his daughter and sighed.

"I know you will be there for her my boy. I just worry for her." Lewis walked away from his nephew to wake his young daughter up.

When he got near the door he looked at his daughter once more time. She has long blood red hair that went down to her bum making her pale skin even more pale and her hair even more red. Her round face flawless yet so tired looking with slight bags under her narrowed eyes. She was slightly thin with a pear shape body, not a sick or stress thin but a healthy thin. Lewis couldn't help but chuckle at his daughter's choice of clothing. She wore a long sleeve shirt, the toros part being black and purple stripes while the sleeves being purple that had been rolled up to her shirt tucked in black waist shorts with black suspenders on. She wore purple tights with black wide fit lace up wedge shoes, or whatever his daughter called it. On her hands she wore fingerless gloves with silver rings around her fingers.

He shook his head and lightly tapped the glass to wake her. Iris gave a small groan but looked up and blinked several times glancing around noticing she was in the car and no one in the drivers seat. Looking up at the window her father looked down at her with a small smile. He looked at hers eyes, her beautiful blue eyes the reason why they named her Iris in the first place. She glanced around for another second and realize they were at her cousins home. Her father stepped away from the door as she plunged it right open forgetting she was wearing a seatbelt she tried to get out of the car only to be forced back in.

"You forgot your seatbelt, dear." Lewis said with a smirk.

Her daughter gave a small cough and tried her best not to give her father the finger.

"No? Really? I haven't notice." Iris said rather sarcastically.

Her father chuckled and helped out of the car removing the seat belt first. As she finally got out of the car she was grabbed in a tight loving hug by her aunt.

"Oh my lord! Iris you have grown so beautiful! And you grew out your hair! Oh my you look so much like your mother." Iris blinked several times in slight shock of what just happen. She soon smiled ever so softly and embrace her aunt as well.

"Hello Aunty Susan. I'm alright thank you. And you?"

"Oh well enough. Just excited to have another girl in the house." Susan replied with much joy in her tone. Iris just gave a small chuckle at this.

"Well isn't it lil Iris. How about a hug for Uncle Ben?" She turned around to see her father's twin. Rolling her eyes she hug the man as well.

"Hello to you too Uncle Ben. How are you?" She asked as she pulled back from the embrace

"I'm well dear. And you?"

"I've been okay." Ben gave nod, but knowingly she was giving half the truth to him but let it go knowing his niece hasn't been her best.

"Can I get a hug from my favorite cousin?" Iris' eyes widen in surprise by the sound of the voice. Whipping her head around she notice Victor. Without a second thought she practically threw herself at him wrapping her arms around his neck, without realizing she even threw her own weight on him in surprise he fell backwards.

"Ow… hello to you too Iris." Victor said with a wince.

Iris didn't say anything, only wincing herself she used her hand to protect Victors head from the driveway.

"Hey… okay not one of my best ideas in the world." Iris hissed out slowly removing herself from her cousin and rolled over in her back. Without a warning Sparky decided to join in on the family welcoming giving slobbery kisses all over her face. The young teen gave a small giggle.

"Sparky! I miss you too sweetie but please stop licking my face!" Iris sat up looking at Sparky. She gave a warm smile but soon dropped when she got a better look at the dog. Lewis starred eye wide of Sparky in shock. He had heard the tale from his brother and daughter what happen to the poor dog but seeing for real was a bit of a shocker. The family held their breath wondering how the relative would react.

"You know, when you said you brought Sparky back I didn't think you made him looking like a stuff animal dog with so many patches." Iris said rather bluntly getting a good look at Sparky with curious eyes. Lewis moved forward to get a better look at the old dog as well. Sparky gave bark getting some attention. Lewis couldn't help but chuckle.

"Can't help but agree with you dear. But it still Sparky." Lewis said with a smile.

Victor let out his breath that he had been holding in since Sparky appeared. Even though he told his cousin he really didn't know how she would react to it in person. Lewis and Iris didn't find it frighten or disturbing at all, they would have wanted to do the same as well if there love ones had passed away. Lavender is another story though, she would have freaked out and would have said so many unkindly things about it.

Victor stood up from the ground and helped Iris up to her feet as well making Sparky fall from her lap. She brushed herself off making sure no dirt was shown on her black shorts. Glancing around finally she got a good view around the neighborhood. Everything looked rather nice, green lawns, rose bushes almost on every lawn, well except for the one next door only to have more various flowers and bushes. Everything look rather friendly, almost 1950 styles in New Holland. She couldn't help but smile seeing how she like old and new things in life, being in a new home might not be so bad after all.

"Is there anything you need to bring in the house dear?" Susan asked after some time of silence.

Iris gave a small nod and went to the car and opening the trunk. In the back was some boxes of clothes, books, 3 different guitar cases, a banjo case, some records, a big 80's stereo and a record player. Grabbing the boxes first she placed them on the sidewalk then her beloved beatbox, record player and guitars. She could tell her her aunt and uncle were rather surprised by this, having such older music unlike most teens they would just be carrying a Ipod of a sort to hold their music. Iris is one of those teens but rather like old fashion as well.

"Now where on earth did you get a stereo at?" Susan ask as she bent down to grab one of the boxes.

"One of my friends families has a whole collection of these things. He gave me one for my birthday because he knows how much I love these things." Iris said easily with sad smile.

"You know Jason still wants to talk to you. So does Mia and Jax." Lewis said softly to his daughter. Iris gave a small nod. Victor stared at his cousin, remembering those three name are some of the closest friends she has. But three? She had a little bit more friends from what he could remember. He let it go when he notice she looked rather sad of hearing the names. Victor picked up the boxes filled with clothes knowing his cousin won't anyone near her "precious babies".

"I'll show you to your room if you like." Victor said with a small grin. Iris glanced up holding her stereo in her hands, glancing over at her father trying to see if it was okay. If it was really happening. Lewis gave a small nod to the house with a look with much pain to see his daughter leaving him. Iris gave a small nod and walked over to Victor and followed him in the house. No, her new home.

Authors Note: Hello! My first Frankenweenie fanfic! I really love Tim Burton movies and this one was cute not to do a fanfic on! I really don't know how you guys will feel about an OC being in Frankenweenie but I read Frankenstein by Mary Shelley and saw that Victor had a cousin and that they were close (I am not doing incest people just no) and I just thought this story up. I might not work on this much because I am currently working on another fanfic How to train your Mage on HTTYD. So that has my most attention right now but I have had this on my computer for a while now and well I'm just going to post this if you guys like it great I will work on it a bit more. If you don't well okay.

Review and Fave.
