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.
Property of Queen Chrysalis
