Excerpt: CHAPTER ONE
Nights like these make the war seem like a distant nightmare. The stars
swirl in patterns I don’t understand as I stare at them from my perch atop the
mountain of rusted and long forgotten machinery. The clashing rings of metal
sound off all around as my team of scavengers scour for resources on the ground
below. The sound is almost soothing, like a song. If only for a moment, peace
washes over me. That is, until the stretch of blue on the horizon reminds me
that our time here is limited.
Glancing out at the shadows tumbling around the Graveyard, which
expands for miles around the true mountains, I set my shoulders back and stand
tall. “Pack it up!”
The early morning sun illuminates the forest stretching across the
snow-capped mountainside and the valley we’re in. I tighten the strap of my gun
and scale to the ground before pacing behind the six-wheeled wagon. Only a few
pieces lie in the back, and I shake my head with a heavy sigh. “We’re not going
to make quota.”
“Yes, we are.” My best friend, Faith, smiles with a sense of innocent
wisdom as she runs her fingers through her long, black hair. Faith’s blue Medic
sash drapes over her shoulder. She shouldn’t be here.
“You have to have optimism.” Faith turns to one of my scavengers. “The
engineers need a sprocket rocket spring. Do we have one yet?”
He straightens and salutes her. “No ma’am, but we’re searching.”
She nods dismissively, and he continues his duties.
“Raquelle!”
A boy runs toward me. He stumbles as he runs over uneven gravel, and I
step away from the wagon to meet him halfway. I don’t have to see his eager
eyes to know that he has found something interesting.
He catches his breath. “I found a couple of relics.”
If we were looters, the relics would be our treasure. We know very
little of what the past was like, with the technology they had that was much
more advanced than ours. So, I guess that’s why I like being the Head of the
Scavenging Department. Occasionally, we find relics, and when someone does, he
or she is rewarded with extra rations or precious baked goods, like cookies.
The entire yard freezes, watching the small twelve-year-old. Having
only been assigned to the job a few months earlier, finding a relic so soon is
unheard of, but he claims that he found two. “Here, ma’am.”
