I will try to answer this question but I just wanted to let you know that you posted this in the wrong area. This is a science question right? because this is the history section.

I believe that the answer is Absorption, the sound waves that come from your mouth when you scream are absorbed into the pillow, therefore reducing the sound because of the density of the pillow. So the movement of the sound goes directly from your mouth and to the pillow.  ~ hope this helps!
