AN: First of all i want to apologize for the enormous wait for the continuation...The thing is...the fanfic was finished two years ago but no matter how hard i tried...I couldn't find a beta reader. When i eventually did, i haven't heard from that person again. Yet i had to see how the story would gain more and more followers every day and it pains me to know how long you guys have been waiting. So i decided to upload the fanfic even though it isn't beta read. I hope you can still enjoy Helena's adventure though.
One month had passed, everything was packed and the Dursleys and Helena were ready to move to their new house in America, New York to be exact. The Dursleys were already outside, Vernon placed the last of the boxes in the trunk as Petunia and Dudley were already sitting in their seats of the car. Helena took one last glance in the empty house, she was standing next to the stairs and opened the small door leading to the small space under the stairs.
Her life in this house started there and so it would end there. She made her way in the small space, staring at the little shelfs, the toy soldiers she used to play with as a kid were still there, only under a blanket of dust and cobwebs. Just as she was about to grab a toy soldier she heard a car door slam shut followed by a car horn. Helena rolled her eyes as she knew that the horn was meant for her, to make her hurry. She grabbed her magic photo album and took two pictures out of them.
The first photo was with herself as a baby with her mom and dad when they were still alive, the happy family is dancing in front of a fountain as brown leaves are raining down upon them. The second photo was of herself all grown up with her godfather Sirius Black. The duo on the photo were standing before a marble fireplace and were smiling to the camera as Sirius gave Helena a hug. Fortunately she had those photo's duplicated before she was banished of the wizarding world.
She placed the photos and a self-written letter on the dusty shelfs in between the toy soldiers as some kind of a memorial. Just as she was done, the car horn went for the second time. Helena sighed as a smirk smile appeared on her face. An orange glow filled the space under the stairs.
"Come on, What's the hold up?!"; Vernon yelled at the house as he was spamming his car horn.
"Who are you yelling at?"; Helena asked to her shocked uncle from the back seat.
She could barely keep herself from laughing as she watched how Vernon kept staring from the house to her and back to the house. Even Petunia and Dudley were staring at her with big shocked eyes.
"What, is there something on my face?; Helena asked.
Vernon stared at her; "How did you get in here?"
"I used my legs"; Helena replied as she crossed her fingers. "Are you okay uncle you look a bit pale", she tried to change the subject.
"yeah, yeah...I'm fine"; he replied with a confused face as he started the car.
Helena sighed in relief as the Dursleys shrugged the situation off and made their way to New York.
The drive was long and boring and after what seemed like an eternity they finally reached New York. It didn't take long for them to find their house. It was a cozy small house with four bedrooms and a driveway, it kind of looked like their old house, it was somewhere in Queens village. To Helena's surprise it was still light outside. It was 4 o clock in the afternoon while back in Surrey it would be 9 o clock in the evening. The entire family had a serious case of jetlag, even though, they got their stuff out of the car and started to unpack.
By the time they were done unpacking it was already late. Since Petunia didn't have the time, nor the materials to cook, they decided to order Pizza. Dudley stormed to his room, turned on the computer and searched for the nearest Pizza place. He scrabbled the phone number on a note, dashed down the stairs and entered the living room; "I found one dad, it's called Freddy's Friends n'bear Pizza or something like that".
Vernon called to the pizzeria and made an order. The family waited patiently for their pizza as time went by; one hour, nothing, one hour and a half, nothing, two hours, nothing. Just as Vernon was about to call the pizzeria again to complain they heard knocking on their front door. The Dursley's and Helena stared at each other, as Vernon shrugged his shoulders and made his way to the front door, he opened it
Outside stood a man with black leather shoes, dark blue pants hold up by a black leather belt, a purple shirt with a golden badge and a nametag on his chest and on his head a matching cap. The skin of the man was on the dark side, not like a dark brown but like some kind of a purple. Vernon didn't make anything of it since it was dark outside, it could've been an optical illusion.
"I brought your pizza mister"; the man stated.
"Took you long enough, we waited for over 2 hours, i don't even think I'm hungry anymore"; Vernon replied, he looked at the man's nametag; "I think I'll have a word with your boss Mr. Afton".
Helena could see everything from where she stood. After Vernon's complaint, she could see a small feint smile appear on the man's face.
"I'm afraid you're already talking to him"; Afton replied.
Vernon stared at the man in confusion.
"William Afton, at your service"; the man introduced himself; "I'm the manager, nightguard and delivery boy at duty".
There was a moment of silence as Dudley laughed at the word "duty" and Helena rolled her eyes.
William looked Vernon straight in the eye's; "we're a little understaffed".
Vernon nodded in understanding.
"But hey you're right, I'm late so, here goes"; William cleared his throat; "We at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza are sincerely sorry for your discomfort. As a token of our apologies we offer you a free complimentary pizza. We wish you an excellent day and hope to see you soon again at a Fazbear entertainment establishment, where fantasy and fun come to live... Have a nice evening".
William handed the pizza to Vernon and made his way back to the pizza place. As William had turned around, the Dursley's and Helena had a good look at the back of Williams shirt, there was a head of a brown bear with a black top head and bowtie on it. It faded into darkness as William disappeared out of sight.
The family went inside to the dining area and opened the pizza box, inside, on top of the pizza was a pamphlet whit the text:

Petunia and Vernon locked eyes with each other, they nodded. Helena saw it but was way to hungry, to think about it. They ate the pizza and they all went straight to bed.
Following morning Helena was awoken by knocking on her bedroom door.
'huh... I-I'm awake"; she murmured as she heard someone going down the stairs.
With a deep sigh she crawled out of bed and made her way to the bathroom. while taking a shower she wondered who had woken her up and why, Afterall, they had just arrived in Newyork and it was still summer so they still didn't need to go to school.
When she was ready, she made her way to the kitchen for breakfast. Upon entering the kitchen, she noticed that everyone was already sitting at the table, even Dudley. As Helena took a seat everyone was staring at her.
Vernon cleared his throat and smiled as he asked; "Did you sleep well"?
"Sure did, but what's with the wakeup call?"; She replied.
Vernon and petunia locked eyes with each other again, while Dudley was now curiously staring at his parents. Clearly, he had also no idea why they were woken up.
This time it was Petunia who started to talk; "Well, Vernon and I had a talk last night and we thought about our future here. We thought, that it would be a good idea for you two to get to know the neighborhood for a bit while we finish the last touches to the house".
"Sure, no problem"; Helena replied.
Just when Vernon and Petunia looked relieved, Helena continued;" But I still don't see what that has to do, whit us waking up this early while it's summer vacation.
Vernon sighed and replied; "Look were not talking about just going outside and wander around the neighborhood, we want you two to spend your time usefully, we want you two to find a summer job".
At the mention of the word job, Dudley spat out the entire gulp of coffee he had just taken.
"Oh come on, it's just a summer job. It's not like you have to work every day of your life. It's a good way to get to know the neighborhood and you can get some money for it. Besides we took the liberty to arrange a job interview for you two, at that pizza place. That man really needed some extra staff"; Vernon explained annoyed by his son's reaction.
Helena stared at Dudley and sighed as she eventually agreed with her aunt and uncle.
"it's settled then, after breakfast I will drive you two to the Pizzaria"; Vernon stated.
Just as promised, they got inside the car and made their way to the pizza place.
It was a 15-minute drive, as Vernon drove the car up the parking lot and stated that they had arrived.
The trio got outside of the car. In front of them was a fairly big building with big windows and a big, glass double door with above it a big sign with that same bear head that was on the back of Afton's Shirt. There were also neon letters that read out; "Freddy Fazbear's Pizza". The building looked kind of old, there were cracks in some of the walls, and some of the neon letters barely gave light.
The trio made their way inside, as they entered, they found themselves in a giant dining area with four rows of tables. Right of them was a door leading to the bathrooms and a stage with closed curtains. On the other side of the room was a door reading 'parts and services', to the left of it was a smaller round stage with closed curtains. To their left there was a small carousel, a door leading to the kitchen and two hallways.
As on cue, Afton entered the dining area; "Welcome...Welcome, to Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. I've been awaiting you two". He pointed at the first row of tables; "Please have a seat".
Helena and Dudley did as they were told. Afton went and sat on the other side of the table right in front of them. He grabbed two pieces of paper and stared at them. After a minute or so, he placed the papers neatly on the table in front of him. He looked at Helena and Dudley as he started to explain; "So... I'm not gonna lie, I was very surprised when I got a call from mister Dursley yesterday evening, asking for jobs non the less. You have no idea how much I can use the extra help".
He stared at Dursley for a while, his face was kind of expressionless. It was then that Helena noticed that Afton's skin was indeed on the purplish side, it gave her the creeps. Mister Afton noticed this and started to stare at Helena. He stared at her for so long that there was an awkward silence in the room. He kept staring at Helena as a small but creepy smile appeared on his face, it made her so nervous that she faked a cough to break the awkwardness.
Mister Afton snapped out of it and continued; "I've been thinking ever since, what jobs would fit the best with the two of you". He took one of the papers in front of him and handed it to Dudley; "I could use a delivery boy, no worry about transportation, you can use a scooter from here. I take it you can drive one of those?"
Before Dudley could reply, Vernon stated; "OfCourse he can, he got a valid motorcycle license from when we lived back in London".
Afton looked delighted by the news; "Oh...your newbies huh? So, you don't know a lot of people yet?"
"No, we just arrived here yesterday. We're new to the neighborhood, is that a problem?"; Vernon asked.
A little bit to enthusiast, Afton blurted; "NO, No...Not at all. He can always use a map or ask directions to find his way. Not a problem at al.
Helena was totally creeped out by mister Afton at this point. Afton took the second paper and gave it to Helena. The smile on Afton's face grew even wider.
"It's your turn, young lady. From the first moment I laid my eyes on you I just knew, you were the perfect person for the job. You see, it just happened to be that I'm looking for a night security guard"; Afton explained.
"Why does she always get the cool jobs?"; Dudley asked with a jealous tone, but Vernon hushed him.
Before Helena could protest, Vernon asked; " Not to be rude Mister Afton, but this building looks pretty old, what would she need to guard?"
Not knowing it was possible, Afton's smile grew even wider, showing al of his teeth, gum and all. This time, it made even Vernon and Dudley nervous.
"Glad you asked"; he stated as he took a remote and pushed a button.
The light's in the dining area turned off and the spots aimed at the two stages turned on, music box music started to play as an announcer voice stated; "Ladies and Gentleman, boy's and girl's, it's time to welcome our best friends and hosts... Here they are...FREDDY FAZBEAR AND FRIENDS!"
The curtains from both stages opened simultaneously. On the big stage there was a purple rabbit, the brown bear with black top hat and bowtie from the logo and a yellow chicken with a cupcake. While on the separate stage there was a pirate fox, he looked very run down.
In awe Dudley started to make his way to the trio on the big stage. Just when he was about to touch the bear's nose. He felt a hand grab him and pull him back. In shock Dudley looked at who had pulled him away. It was none other than Mister Afton. Dudley wanted to ask why he had done that, but kept silent as he saw the expression on Afton's face, he looked really stern.
"I wouldn't do that if i were you"; Mister Afton whispered while wiggling his forefinger ; "He doesn't like it when you touch his nose".
Dudley looked confused at the bear and back at mister Afton. He shrugged his shoulders and went back to sit at the table.
"So, let me introduce you to our hosts"; Afton walked to the round small stage with the pirate fox. "This is Foxy, Foxy the pirate, he stands on a small stage called pirates cove, his primary function is telling story's to the children".
He walked over to the big stage; "These three form a band and take care of the music in this joint. The purple rabbit is called Bonnie and he plays the guitar, Next is the yellow chicken, her name is Chica, she's the chick of the group. Last but not least is Freddy Fazbear, I'm pretty sure you have seen his face already by now. After all he's the face of Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, he's also the main host from the restaurant and the leader of the group. Just like Chica, he's a singer".
Helena stared at the animatronics, she didn't know why, but she felt sad and scared when she looked at them. She didn't know why, these feelings just overwhelmed her as she looked at the robotic creatures. The fact that mister Afton was staring at her again wasn't helping either.
Mister Afton faced Vernon; "As you can see, mister Dursley, these robotic animals are worth quite a lot of money. It would be a shame if something were to happen to them".
"I see"; Vernon nodded.
Mister Afton walked back to the table where Helena and Dudley sat. He gave the two a pen; "Here you go. Please sign here, here and here".
Helena looked at her cousin. Without reading the paper he just signed it off and gave the paper to mister Afton. Afton accepted it, he started to look Helena's way, waiting till she signed the paper. He noticed that she was looking at him, as he explained; "just your contract my dear. Insurance and what not".
Helena looked at Vernon, who gestured that she needed to sign the contract. The girl did what her uncle wanted and signed the papers. She was reluctant, but eventually she gave the contract to mister Afton, who was at this point drooling from excitement. Afton noticed this and cleaned it up as fast as he could. He looked around but no one except for Helena had seen this.
As he took the contract from Helena, he informed; "Good, Dudley, your shift starts this evening from six o clock till midnight". He went to face Helena; "And you my dear, Your shift is from midnight till six o clock in the morning".
Helena stared at mister Afton, there was something really unsettling at his face when he said that.
Vernon cleared his throat and the trio made their way outside. On their way to the car, Helena suddenly stopped, she turned around to give the building one last glance, to give Freddy's face one last glance. When she turned around again, her uncle and cousin were already in the car. She soon followed and they made their way back home.
