Between Bonds and Freedom

Inside, the room was unnervingly pristine. The bed was empty.

Carefully tied restraints hung limply from the sides of the bed, their ends neatly tucked as if mocking the chaos now erupting. The sheets were smooth and unwrinkled, as though no one had ever laid there.

But it was what lay in the center of the bed that drew all attention: an emerald gem, glowing faintly, its surface smooth and flawless.

Tamara's eyes widened in disbelief, her mind struggling to process what she was seeing. Her breathing quickened, and her hands clenched into fists at her sides. She let out a guttural yell, her voice raw and filled with fury.

"What the hell?!" she bellowed, the sound reverberating through the room.

Victoria stepped in behind her, slower, more hesitant. Her usually steady composure cracked as her body visibly trembled. Her wide eyes scanned the room, taking in every detail: the restraints, the untouched sheets, the glowing gem.
