It had been nearly two years since Wendla Bergmann's death. Since Melchior had illegally left the reformatory he knew his only option was to leave town. Of course Melchior Gabor knew he did not have anywhere close to the funds he needed to leave for America, after all he was just a seventeen year old boy who had no job. That was when he made his choice to leave town and start a new. Of course there was only so far a boy that young could go. He traveled through nearly 20 towns until he found one he felt he would be able to settle down in.

It wasn't a small town, not at all similar to the one he had previously resided in. The reason he had decided to stay in this town was because of an incident that he had heard about while passing through town. There was someone in this town attempting to stir up some controversy. Of course it was working, after all this individual seemed to be spreading the same sort of Atheistic beliefs.

Of course the young man had no idea what he had just gotten himself into. He was able to find a cheap apartment in the 'bad' part of town. Of course Melchior found nothing really dangerous about this place. In fact, he felt he had the best chance to find the one stirring up all these troubles. This was probably the thing he needed to forget about all the problem that had been his fault in his previous town.

His first day in his new home began when he heard yelling in the apartment underneath his. Of course this noise irritated him, after the long journey he had just embarked on he was in no mood to be woken up by bickering couples. Of course this could've been a good thing. After all, if he wanted to meet this stranger he would have to get his ass out of his house.

Meanwhile, a 16 year old female had been woken up by her older brother. It was time for her to attend her school; of course it was scandalous to most people. After all, there were boys and girls mixed together in the classroom. Oh my! One might see a female's unclothed knee. To this brunette the worry about this school was absolutely ridiculous.

"Marlisa!" The young females mother shouted, she only had an hour to get ready for school. The brunette finally rolled out of her bed and walked over to the door.

"Mama, I'm up! I'll be down for breakfast soon." The female shut her door and walked over to her burrow. Marlisa opened up the drawer and pulled out the small clump of weed she had been hiding from her family. Of course she was smart enough to never smoke in her house. It would be considered another controversial thing if people found out a sixteen year old female was smoking pot after school.

Of course she had no real reason for it, but what reason did anyone ever have for doing anything. At this point Marlisa had begun to disagree with everything that was ever taught to her as a child. It had all happened that one day 4 years ago.

She was only 12 years old when it had happened, her oldest brother was visiting with his wife and they were sleeping in the room next to hers. It was late when she heard some one moaning , then there was begging. At first the innocent female knew nothing else other then praying then she noticed her brothers voice. That was when she left her room and traveled to the room next to hers.

"Marek..." She said as she opened the door. It was only a few quick moments but she saw her brother on top of his wife thrusting into her. The girls hazel eyes flashed over the couple's body and she stumbled back. Then she heard them both of them say words that she had only heard her father say.

"Marlisa!" He shouted while rushing over to her. She looked down for a quick moment and shuddered. "You must go back to bed and forget about this, ok?" The female nodded and ran back to her room. So many questions were swimming through her head. Since that night she began to read materials those would've found inappropriate for a female. Let alone a female as young as her. After reading these books, she learned that lots of it contradicted all that was taught to her as a child.

The brunette slipped her little bag of marijuana into her satchel. She quickly got dressed in the schools uniform and ran downstairs. Not many people were up so she was able to finish her breakfast in peace.

"I'll be home by supper." She said as she lefty the house. Marlisa left the house in a hurry and crashed into a tall brown haired male. He looked at her oddly and she looked right back.

"Way to be polite, jackass." She spat before leaving. After that encounter Melchior had a feeling this town wasn't the best place.
