Today is day 9 in the arena. The people in the Capitol are probably bored. No one had died recently so no doubt they are getting bored.

We eat breakfast and just sit around when we see Marvel getting up from his seat.

"Look guys over there, look!" He says. 

Marvel is point to something and it looks like some silly tribute lit a fire. 

Cato puts Noah in charge when we go to look who it is. I bring my knives and backpack that is full with, water, food and some supplies. Cato and Marvel bring their swords and spears but I get this really wired feeling about this fire. I push it aside and we go running into the woods to go see who it is. But there is no one there. Maybe they are just around so we go around checking but still no one. There is a second fire that's been lit. We are all thinking this must be some sort of trick. I've never seen anything like this. Then all of the sudden there is a big bang and an explosion. We all look at each other.

"The mines," I say.

Cato and Marvel both look worried about the supplies and I am too. 

"Run back! Now!" Cato yells. 

We all run back towards the supplies and it's all gone! I should've listened to my gut. I knew there was something about this fire. 

Everything is gone! Noah comes to us and he looks like his foot is hurt. I can tell Cato is angry. Marvel and I go around checking if there is anything left for us but there is nothing. I look over and Noah is on the ground and he looks very hurt. 

"Cato what did you do to him?" I yell.

There is no response.

I run up to Noah and ask what Cato did to him. There is still a bit of life in him. 

"Clove, I am in pain and I asked Cato to end it for me, It wasn't his fault please don't blame him. Go on, win the games!" Noah says, the cannon fires. 

"Clove, I am so sorry." He said. 

There was my knife in him, I know Noah said for Cato to end it for him, but the person that I love so much just killed my brother. I break down crying. 

"Guys, I'm going to find who did this and kill them!" Marvel says and starts to sprint out in the forest. 

I cry for a bit, Cato comforts me and feel a bit better. I just met my long lost twin brother and he died. My parents never got to meet him. Kate never did. Willow never did. I know Kate is up there meeting him right now. We hear a cannon. 

"Marvel killed whoever did this!" Cato says happily. 

I mean all of our supplies are gone so they got to pay for this. 

But then we hear another cannon. 

"Who knows I'm sure it wasn't Marvel." Cato says. 

We wait for an hour and there is still no sign or Marvel. 

"Shouldn't he be back by now?" I ask Cato.

"Yeah, but who knows maybe he's hunting." Cato says. 

We wait for about 4 hours and still no Marvel. Did he leave us and he just wants to play by himself? But that doesn't seem like Marvel. 

It's night time now. The anthem plays and the fallen tributes are in the sky. 

Marvel comes up first! Marvel? I am really upset about this. He was like a brother to me in my opinion. Then Noah comes up. After seeing Marvel and Noah I start to tear up. Then Rue! That's when I break down. She was too young and sweat to die. I manage to get no sleep, I stayed on guard all night long, Cato needs sleep. I just can't believe that we lost 3 today. I'm sure the Capitol is happy, but I don't want to be a piece of the Capitol's stupid games.
