The training center is a cacophony of clashing steel and the rhythmic thud of bodies striking pads. Under the sterile, blinding glare of the overhead lights, you grip the rope, your muscles straining as you pull yourself higher. Out of the corner of your eye, you spot them—Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark. They aren't looking at the instructors or the weapons; they are looking at you. The infamous pair from Twelve, the ones the Capitol is already obsessed with, are watching you with a piercing, silent intensity. As you hang there, suspended in the air, you wonder exactly what they've found in you that warrants such focus.
