--The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
“The rules of the Hunger Games are simple. In punishment for the uprising, each of the twelve districts must provide one girl and one boy, to participate. The twenty-four tributes will be imprisoned in a vast outdoor arena that could hold anything from a burning desert to a frozen wasteland. Over a period of several weeks, the competitors must fight to the death. The last tribute standing wins.”

“She wanted to speak, to tell the fey to leave so she didn’t have to, but she couldn’t. Ever. If she did, they’d know her secret: they’d know she could see them. The only way to survive was to keep that secret; Grams taught her that rule before she could even write her name: Keep your head down and your mouth closed.”
--Wicked Lovely by Melissa Marr “She concentrated, repeating the rules and warnings in her mind like a prayer, a litany to keep her focused. Don’t stare, don’t speak, don’t run, don’t touch. She took several calming breaths. Don’t react. Don’t attract their attention. Don’t ever let them know you can see them. The familiarity of the words helped her push back the edge of desire, but it wasn’t enough to make it anywhere near comfortable to be around him.”
