A/N in case you have come here from the hot 100 page and want to know more ( scroll down to start the actual first chapter) 

The robots rule earth. The girl only known to her owners as reject #5642 doesn't own her name, she doesn't own her body and she doesn't see a future on the artificial island she grew up on.

After a chance encounter with a new reject-boy and unearthing her true mother's slave collar, she is lead on a path to discover more about herself than she could possibly imagine. When the machines come to her door to harvest her younger sister, #5642 is thrust into a head-on collision with the whole robot world order. Her foster parents give her one desperate secret mission. Protect her sister and get her to #5642's real parents in the machine capital. The future of humanity rests on it. Soon #5642 must run for her life, fight for her existence and to do that she needs to discover her real past.

In a desperate hunt across the ruins of America #5642, her sister and a reject-boy called Hunter must out run the Artificial Intelligences and the cyborg's known only as 'The Continuity'. The same ones who master minded the robot apocalypse 20 years ago. To succeed she must discover the meaning of the resistance plan 'Destiny Rising' and the only key she has is her human birth name. Emily, Emily Banks.

As she runs the machines begin to realise what she might represent, the last bitter ember of human resistance. Can a girl like her possibly be capable of what it takes to change the world? She has to, because she doesn't know it, but she is the cyborg's daughter.

"I was born a slave, but it doesn't mean I have to die like one." said Emily carefully picking up the phase bracelet.

@Kanakaix . If I could keep hitting the like button and have it +1 each time I would be putting a hole in my phone

Authors note. This is a new book. It's not a direct sequel to I'm a Cyborg's Pet. It's set in the New Mechanical Order world 20 years after Cyborg's Pet. It's going to be different, but we are not sure how. Possibly younger, fresher, cleaner we haven't decided. It's a sketch so far but feel free to say what you feel.  New Chapters starting Thursday 10th March

Thanks so much to  @starstruck3759252 for the new cover - what do you think?

Emm's POV

"Emm, Emm come away from the edge please," Little Jenny pleaded her eyes putting spots of worry in her round face.

The wind washed through my auburn hair, waving it like a flag of defiance.

The barrier on the edge of the island, had rotted and fallen away. Long ago it had taken the eight-second drop into the cobolt sea below. The deep sea thrashed like an furious wraith on the Island's metal legs far below. Doing so make it's frost white hair appear along with the song of static it would beat out. It was a good song, I would find my narrow hips swaying to it sometimes. The drop would kill me but on this island with these chains, death was a friend.
