THEY WERE TOO LATE. Sharp flecks of metal and splintered wood rained onto the stone floor of Wolstencroft and into Jane’s face. She squeezed her eyes shut as she fell backward and smeared the blood across her face in a diagonal line, stinging as the shards sliced deeper in. She wiped away the stuck pieces as the smell of rotten garbage overwhelmed her and fumbled around the dusty-aired hall, fingers trailing across the shaking walls and rumbling floor boards. There was too much filth and chaos for her to see anything, but it didn’t take long before West found her. “Are you okay?” She nodded fearfully. Undeniably, they smelled the rancid decay and knew what the reek was. Jane glanced at the main entrance again, and inhaled. Without delay she jerked her face away and gasped for a breath that wasn’t the sickening stench of rotten death—her lungs protested and shrieked in queasiness, as she heard the loud steps and sniffing of something around her and moving in quickly. She heard a clatter of fighting and growls, mingled by screams and wounding howls. Jane knew she’d die if they found her, but she also couldn’t ignore their threats, the cries of the people they were hurting, crunching and severing wings from their back. …show more content…

'Hello! Anyone? Can you hear me? Bloody hell!' Spittle soared from Charlie Winton's mouth as he swore into the inky chamber around him. A sticky sweat dampened his armpits and broke out in tiny beads along his forehead. His breath caught in his throat as he strained to hear, desperate for any sound to break the silence that threatened to smother him. Time crept along, each laborious moment stretched like a taut rubber band ready to burst. Pebbles of loose scree and razor sharp chunks of newly broken coal stabbed painfully into Charlie's abdomen and chest, raising bright red welts, as he edged his way closer to the gaping hole before him. Faint light from his headlamp showed piles of dust and coal flakes, broken timber and layers of thick,

It’s gone, the escape ship. My last chance at getting home slips away from my finger tips, every breath I take the closer it gets to getting home where where I’m supposed to be.

Sophia’s mother’s grip tightened around her small body as the rotting floorboards above creaked under the pressure of solid combat boots. Quaking with fear her mother knew that they had no chance. Two worn hands gently held her lifeless cheeks, as her mother, consumed by terror and love, kissed her forehead and placed her in a dark corner. With the small beams of light that slithered their way through the cracks, the confused little girl saw tears streaming down her mama’s pale face. The haunting sound of boots stomping with pride ceased as they stood above them like animals callously hunting their prey. She raised her quivering finger up to her chapped lips as the piercing sound of gunshots split the silence and a frenzied spray of metal showered down, missing them by inches. The floorboard above was torn up revealing her mama to the monsters. Sophia remembered being frightened when her teacher read a

A feminist is a person whose beliefs and behavior are based on feminism (belief in the social, political, and economic equality of the sexes). Jane Eyre is clearly a critique of assumptions about both gender and social class. It contains a strong feminist stance; it speaks to deep, timeless human urges and fears, using the principles of literature to chart the mind?s recesses. Thus, Jane Eyre is an epitome of femininity - a young independent individual steadfast in her morals and has strong Christian virtues, dominant, assertive and principled. That itself is no small feat.
I stared in horror – that wall was stained with gruesome blood stains. What the smell was became all too obvious and I felt the need to vomit… that motion put away and forgotten in an instant when the shuffling of feet rustled behind me. Panic. I turned around in a blur, my eyes huge and watering. My stomach stirred in the slightest. A lamp? Indeed, a tall standing lamp radiated a warm light only a few metres in front of me. Was it real or a figment of my abused mind? Curiosity would get the best of me, lending me a tiny spurt of energy to boost me on my feet. Teetering footsteps led me forward cautiously, random tremors reminding me of my weakness. The lamp was close enough to touch, its friendly warmth the only hope in the world to me. Basking in it for some slow seconds, I wondered, maybe there were more things in the room that hadn’t been revealed to the naked eye? Turning sharp on my heel, I let out a blood curdling screech as I came face to face with the most horrific thing I had ever seen. Huge fly-like eyes took in my paling complexion, and a lopsided smile of stinking razor sharp teeth mocked me. Rancid skin that looked like the algae layer that sat upon a swamp bubbled and oozed, trickling down a sharply shaped ‘face’. Flight or fight reaction chose the obvious option and I turned back again to run. Where, I did not
