She seemed to have changed location.
Horris was right, someone did pick her up.
But just not the nice old lady or happy family he was hoping for.
A man had picked up Merlene.
His name was was Axle, and he drove a massive truck.
Axle wasnt exactly Horris- As a matter of fact Horris and Axle were probably opposite as they come.
Finally they arrived at Axle's house- It was a small, narrow house.
It had a kind of cottage feel and it was very dark, not just in color.
Merlene began to cry again.
"Daddy!" She cried for about the 5oth time.
Axle did'nt say anything when Merlen cried, he just ignored it.
Actually Axle didnt really say much at all.
The next morning, Merlen woke up in a strange room.
Merlene was used to strange, butnot this type of strange!
"Daddy?" She asked the air.
Nothing, no one answered.
Merlene was all alone in the strange room.
The next few years continued to as quite boring for young Merlene.
She only ever saw Axle early in the morning.
He would set out her food and leave.
Merlene wasn't entirely sure were he went, but it didn't really bother her much.
On Merlene's 5th birthday, Axle stayed home all day with her.
The one thing he said to her was "Tommorow you will attend school."
School? "What is school?" asked Merlene asked.
Axle never answered Merlene's questions.
This made Merlene sad.
"Why don't you ever answer any of my questions?" She asked as curious as ever.
"Because of my religion" Axle answered.
"What's religion mean?" Merlene asked.
"You will find out at school."
"But what is school?"
Merlene was just so curious, about everything.
