"Azalea. Wake up. Please." Naomi whispered quietly. Tears clouded her vision as she held her younger sister. "Please..Please.." Naomi felt pounding fill her ears. Strong, steady beating. She closed her eyes and winced in pain as blood ran down her arm. The pounding faltered for a minute. Naomi squeezed her eyes shut tighter. There it was. Strong and Steady. Naomi let out a gasp. The stinging sensation erupting from her right arm became almost unbearable. Push through it, Naomi. Push through it. Strong and Steady. She held Azalea to her chest, as the blood from her wounds stopped bleeding and slowly became covered again with skin. "There you go, Zel. You're doing great." Naomi whispered. Strong and Steady. She lay her sister on the ground. Her arm couldn't hold the pressure. A puddle of her own blood dripped at her feet. She inhaled sharply and focused on the pounding in her ears. Its rhythm began to slow and sound more distant until it was merely an echo. "No! No!" Naomi called into the distance. "Please, come back!" Blood began to run from her eyes. "Please.." she whispered. Strong and Steady...Please... Azalea shifted slightly and opened her eyes just enough to see the blurry outline of Naomi's figure. "Zel! Zel, It's going to be okay? Alright?" Naomi squeaked. "No." Azalea said finally. "Be your own heartbeat this time." The pounding slowed and finally ceased, leaving an empty quiet in the woods where Naomi kneeled. "No." She whispered quietly. Azalea lifted a fragile hand to Naomi's heart. "Strong and Steady" she whispered with her last breath.
Okay this is more of a test than anything. Sorry about the all the sadness haha. I'll probably go back and edit this later but baaassically I'm messing around with a new concept where I have these characters that are like "pillars" and they represent the collective Mind, Eye, Heart and Soul of all that exists. This is Naomi, the Heart. I was messing around with her abilities so I wrote this little blurb.
