RAZE

Ugh. Sickening bastard is yelling again to that poor metal, which disturbed me from a nice sleep. I yawned, my mouth fully open and stretching my heavy limbs. I help myself to sit-up on the edge of a soft sofa and felt the soft fabric on the floor that soothes my still lethargic senses. I brushed it with my toe fingers. It's very soft fur that tickles me.

And I can't help but to start giggle in every friction my feet make against it.

"So you make an entertainment yourself with that...furry carpet, huh?"

Sickening bastard stands in front of me, smiling. He is not angry anymore? He smiles often this afternoon, a very distinctive kind from the attitude he had shown this morning. He doesn't have the scowling face anymore and he doesn't give me crushing grip, either.

"Furry carpet" I repeated his word. Perhaps he refers to this soft fabric under my feet. I sighted as I felt empty because of my mind still unable to recall words.

"Yes. That is a car-pet, this is a so-fa."

He pointed the things he's naming for me to understand. He sat beside me and patted the comfortable furniture where I am seated "This is So-fa" he smiled but he averted his gazes from me. I feel like his trying to avoid meeting my eyes but Why?

"So-fa..Car-pet"

He still shuns me but I chose to ignore, not making it a deal; I practice the words he taught instead.

"You're good. Now, you have to..Err. C-change your clothes because they are dirty."

His eyes were still fixed to other things while he talks to me.

Oh, does he talk to other things in this room? Hmm..Maybe? If he is talking with me then he should be looking at me, right? But which thing he is talking with and why he is the only one that can hear it? Does this mean that things can talk but why can't I hear them?

"Do do you know how to change your clothes, eh...or do you want me to help you with it?" He is now blushing, his ears turning red.

He is weird. What's happening to him? What if he turned scary again? I have to protect myself.

I crossed my arms, embracing myself while carefully glide on the sofa away from him.

He felt my movement then he turned to check and see me this time. "Raze, no. I am not going to do what you're thinking. Of course... I will let you change your own clothes.Pss" he scoffed followed by more hisses, only heard by him. My eyes were following his every odd movement then, he stood up and went inside a room and bang the door shut very loud. I flinched.

I sighted in relief on the other hand. I thought he's planning to eat me again or hurt me. But what is that change clothes his saying?

No one's going the answer my query so I stood up and roamed the entire room. Checking every material placed in here. I wonder which one of these things... sickening bastards was talking with awhile ago.

My eyes caught the picture (painting) hanging on the wall. It was picture of a weird looking person. His hands were on his face and his mouth forms a big 'O', he seems like he is screaming. Does sickening bastard talk to this person in the picture?

It looks it's going to say something, let alone its opened mouth. So I move my ear closer to the painting and waited for it to talk to me...

But

There was silence.

This is making me angry. "You...Speak" I commanded the picture to talk to me. Maybe you're asking where I learned those words. Of course from sickening bastard, remember this morning? He commanded me to speak even I don't know any words.
