THOMP.
The sounds echoed alongside her heartbeats as each second was dire to save him.

Her pleas were left in her head, unsaid, but demonstrated through her teeth-grinding movements.
Her foot splashed the spilled blood all over her gown but that was the least of her concerns as more pressing matters laid before her.
"No!!"
