Chapter 5
Speak
625 tossed and turned in his sleep before he woke up. As he awoke he looked at the clock. One forty five in the morning.
625 moaned,'' Not now.''
He got out of bed and tried to shake Marina awake, then he whispered to her softly,'' Wake up. I need you to tell me where the...''
Marina woke up and glared at 625,'' What is it doggie?''
625 didn't talk.
'' What? Hungry? Thirsty?''
625 nodded his head side to side.
'' What is it?''
625 whimpered since he didn't want to talk.
'' Show me''.
They left the bedroom and 625 pointed at a door.
'' You want to know what's in the closet?''
625 pointed at another door.
'' You want to know what's in my mom's room?''
625 slapped his forehead.
'' I'm getting a drink of water. Want a drink?''
625 moaned.
He followed her downstairs.
He found a bunch of newspapers scattered around the kitchen floor.
What is this? A recycling center? You're turning the kitchen into a recycling center! Way to ruin a kitchen, 625 thought. He picked up the newspapers.
'' What are you doing?'', Marina asked.
625 still didn't talk.
'' Need to go out?''
What? 625 thought.
Marina put a leash and collar around 625.
This is ridiculous. If Gantu saw me wearing this, I'd be humiliated for the rest of my life, 625 thought.
625 didn't budge, no matter how much Marina tugged on the leash.
'' Okay, I guess you don't need to go out''.
625 frowned.
'' Water?''
625 closed his eyes as he moaned. Then he spoke,'' No water! No water!''
'' Did you just say something?''
'' Yes, no, oh!''
'' What's wrong?''
'' Look just tell me where the bathroom is''.
'' Don't tell me you're going to drink out of the toilet''.
'' Yeah sure, I'm going to drink out of the toilet'', 625 remarked, sarcastically.
'' Okay? The bathroom's upstairs''.
'' Which door?'', 625 groaned,'' Come on''.
Marina followed 625 upstairs.
'' Which one of these five doors?'', 625 asked.
'' First one's a closet, second one's my mom's room, third one's the bathroom, fourth one's a closet, and the last one is the attic.''
'' Why do you have two closets? Oh! forget it.''
He went in the third door and looked for a light switch, which was far beyond his reach,'' Blitznak! Can't reach, Marina turn on the light for me''.
Marina turned on the light.
625 pushed Marina back to her bedroom,'' Now be a good girl and stay.''
He walked backwards towards the bathroom,'' Stay, stay, stay, stay.''
He was in front of the door,'' Good girl''.
He slammed the bathroom door.
'' Did he just talk or am I dreaming? That's right I'm in a dream, dream, dream, dream'', Marina said, starting to lose her mind.
Then she fainted.
