Was it possible to have your heart pound through your chest?

Because Noelle felt like hers was.
She was running as fast as she could. Her senses were tingling but she still didn't feel part of her body. If out of body experiences were a thing... she was having one.

She was sending spell after spell over her shoulder towards the wall and ceiling where the monster was. She knew how fast it was but was too numb to actually think about that right now. The portal and everyone going through it was her concern.

A flash of light made her look over her shoulder as she ran. Hirsch. That man.. that lasso of fire. Noelle didn't concentrate on that though because she was soon facing front again, running as quickly as she could. "INCENDIO DUO!!!" She yelled with everything she had pointing her wand in front of the monster. The portal was right there. And Noelle was about to go through it!
