Unnamed

I was in a cage, somewhere I didn't recognize, someplace I didn't recognize.  "Somebody help me!"  I yelled at the top of my lungs.  Around me were a few torches, lit with bluish-green fire.  Wait, bluish-green fire?  As I started thinking about who could've captured me, I glanced up at the torches again, and one of them went out.  That's when I stopped thinking.  I already had an answer.  Since the torch went out, a few seconds later I saw a Changeling lighting it.  Queen Chrysalis.  I knew she was behind this.

But then I noticed something kind of shiny that the Changeling was holding on to.  A key!  As I tried to grab it, I was hoping that it wouldn't see me.  As I got closer and closer, something caught my eye.  I saw a door opening, and then I glanced back over at where I was reaching.  The Changeling was staring into my soul, at least that's what it felt like.  It shocked me so much that I closed my eyes.

When I opened them, I was in bed, just waking up on a Saturday morning.  Had that all been a dream?  It seemed so real.  "Honey!  Come down!  You're going to miss breakfast at your favorite restaurant!" I heard my mom calling me from down the stairs.  "Wha- Oh!  Sorry, mom!  I'll be there in a few minutes!" I jumped up out of bed, just to step on something sharp.  I winced at the pain, but I kept going.  I got a quick shower, and brushed my teeth, and that's when I thought something was watching me.  I opened my closed bathroom door, but I saw nothing.  Weird.  I could've sworn something was there.  Just then I heard a faint crackling sound.  I jerked my head back, and hurt one of my neck muscles.  I screamed out, and I heard someone coming up the stairs.  Just then, I heard someone try to break down my door.  "Are you alright, Jason?!" I heard my mom yell through my door.

"Yeah, mom.  I'm alright.  I just-"

"Why did you scream like that?  You scared me half to death!"

"I pulled a muscle in my neck, mom.  I'm fine."

I finished brushing my teeth, and went to get clothes for the day,  When I realized I needed to pick up the thing that I stepped on when I got out of bed.  It looked somewhat shiny and black, with something engraved on it.
