Prologue
Ebony's footsteps sounded like boulders as she pushed her way through the eerily silent crowd. "Hey!" people yelled as she pushed them over, making her way quickly to the front of the crowd to see the commotion. Then, she saw it. Her best friend. Hanging by the arms, thick red blood trickling down his fingertips. His face was bruised and bloody, unrecognisable even.
Ebony fought a scream, trying not to cry. Crying wasn't allowed. Seen as 'weak'. A real citizen of the new world would never cry. Hardworkers don't.
The humming sound of drones could be heard, getting louder and closer. Four or so of them came and unchained his arms and lifted him high into the air, away from the crowd. That was the last they'd ever see of him.
Chapter one
Ebony tied her dark long shiny hair - the very thing she'd been named after - into a loose messy bun behind her head, gritting her teeth while doing so. Sweat dripped down her forehead as she lifted the massive, hot pot full of a thick chemical-smelling liquid.
