The Pulse of Life

Leo: Hi, Eleanor.

Eleanor: Hi, sweet boy.

Leo: This might feel a little strange.

Eleanor: I'm ready.

Leo: Just close your eyes and think about your baby.

The boy reached out with his small, dirt-stained hand.

Arthur: Be careful!

Leo: I always am.

Leo gently wrapped his fingers around Eleanor's pale, trembling hand.

Arthur: No, please!

Arthur screamed, absolute terror filling his face as a sudden, intense heat filled the room.

Charles: Good heavens, what is that light?

Arthur: Get him off her!

Charles: Sir, wait! Look at her!

Arthur stopped in his tracks, staring in shock.

Arthur: Eleanor?

Eleanor: Oh my god.

A deep, pulsing sound echoed through the grand ballroom, like a giant heartbeat.

Arthur: What is happening to her neck?

Dramatic, pulsing veins became visible beneath Eleanor's skin.

Charles: It looks like energy, sir.

Arthur: This is impossible.

Leo: Breathe in, Eleanor.

Eleanor took a deep, sudden breath, her chest rising fully for the first time in hours.

Leo: And breathe out.

Eleanor: The pain...

Arthur: Is it worse? Should I pull him away?

Eleanor: No!

Arthur: Tell me what you feel!

Eleanor: It's gone. The pain is completely gone.

Arthur: That can't be right.

Leo: I told you I wouldn't hurt her.

Leo kept his hand perfectly still, his eyes closed in deep concentration.

Arthur: Her color is coming back.

Charles: Her lips are no longer blue, sir.

Arthur: I don't understand this. This defies all medical science.

Leo: Science couldn't save her today.

Arthur: Who are you?

Leo: It doesn't matter right now.
