Hybrid [Mavin]

Chapter 5 - Scared

As soon as Geoff walked into the room I tackled him in a hug, burying my head in his chest. He stumbled back slightly when I basically jumped at him and I gripped the back of his shirt. I couldn't see his expression but he gently pat my head. "Ok ok I understand, we'll leave. Ryan we don't have any lets plays scheduled do we?" I looked back at Ryan and he checked his computer before shaking his head. "Alright, just keep doing your work guys, I'll see you tomorrow." They all nod and Geoff leads me out. I take a quick glance back at the guys looking at Ray's worried expression and Micheal's glare.

As soon as we got back into the house, thankfully having no one there I pulled off the beanie. "What's wrong Gav?" I looked back at Geoff and back down at the beanie, why did talking have to be so hard. It didn't help though that I knew few words. I knew a bunch mostly because of listening to my master and the guards talk, but I mostly knew commands like 'follow' and 'sit.' 

I decide to shrug and Geoff walks in front of me, drawing my gaze to him. "What's wrong Gavin?" I just shake my head, moving my gaze away from him again. Geoff sighs quietly and hugs me, "Gavin I'm here for you, you know that right?" I nod, gripping Geoff's shirt tightly. Geoff pulls back and smiles at me, hands on my shoulders. "How bout I teach you some things? Then later we can play some games, that sound good?" I smile weakly and nod.

Geoff explained what everything in the house was and what it was for, he even went online and showed me some things also teaching me new words, new objects, animals, everything I either wanted to know or what he thought would be important to know. I still haven't spoken even though my vocabulary is much larger, but I am thankful to Geoff for teaching me words. 

Geoff and I now sat on the couch playing some game on his Xbox one it was called, I think the game was called Peggle. This game was so much better than the game Ray showed me, Titanfall I believe. I even beat Geoff a few times and actually smiling. It was nice having fun and not worrying about things for once. However as soon as we stopped playing, which was around midnight, I found myself worrying and thinking again. My smile instantly faded and I looked at the floor.

I looked at Geoff, well at his arm. I still didn't know what those drawings were or how they are staying on his skin, I thought ink washed off or faded when drawn on skin... "What's wrong Gav?" I looked up at Geoff and back at his arm, hesitantly pointing to it. He looked at his arm and back at me, "their tattoos. It's like drawing on your skin but it's a little different. The ink is in the skin instead of on it which makes it stay, well it's the easiest way I can explain it..." I nod, I understood but I guess that's why he explained it so simply. 

Geoff stood and stretched, groaning as he did so "well I'm going to bed." I nod and watch Geoff disappear around the wall. I stay in the lounge for a little while until heading to my room. I look at the piece of furniture I now knew as a bed. I looked at the bed and then to my corner, I guess it wouldn't be bad to sleep somewhere else... I walked over to the untouched bed, running my hand over the soft fabric of the blanket. I pulled the blanket back and hesitantly crawled inside, easily finding myself in a comfortable position. I curled up into a ball and pulled the blanket over me, this was a lot nicer than a corner. I quickly fell asleep, enjoying the comfy bed.

I jolted awake when I heard glass breaking downstairs. I could hear thumps but I didn't know what it was and I was a little afraid to find out. Before I could even leave the bed my door was kicked in and there stood 2 guards who quickly made their way over to me. They pulled me out of the bed, both holding an arm each behind me and one with their hand on my head pushing forward so I was hunched. I heard another pair of footsteps and my master stood in the doorway. I shook madly, why, why now, everything was just starting to get better. My master smirked, walking over to me "found you, your a fucking bitch do you know that!" I flinched when he yelled, my ears pressing back against my head and my tail wrapping around my leg tightly. "I won't harm you, I can do that when we're back home. Lets go." I struggled when one of the guards handcuffed my hands behind my back and threw me over their shoulder.
