I can't tell Cato that the arena is a clock. It's against the rule. maybe he will figure it out, and stay safe. I can't help pondering over the thought that the arena is a giant clock. I need to tell Brutus. "Brutus! Brutus!" I shout running around the whole apartment

"Clove! What's wrong!" He shout he comes running in

"The arenas a clock" I tell him. He looks at me like I'm mad.

"What?"

"The arenas is a clock" I repeat. I drag him over to the tv and where my paper and map is stations. We take a seat I. The couch "I mapped out and took into addition the odd goings on. And came too the conclusion that the arena is a clock. You see" I point to the map. "The lightning hit the tree at exactly midnight and the blood rain at exactly 1 am and pm. The arena is divided into 12 sections. The arena is a dome" I tell him. He takes the paper and scans it

"Clove your a genius" he tells me. "We need too get this too them and quick" he rushes around looking around for the box which turns too a keyboard.

"But we can't. It's against the rules" I tell him

"It's not if it's done subtly" we run too the elevator and go down. We go to the cashier part or the public game centre. "Hi. I would like too send a message with this" he tells the woman. I look around and see people cheering and shouting. I look at the screen to find Cato fighting with Blight.

"Brutus!" I shout slapping his back. He turns around

"Crap! Can you hurry please" he tells the woman. He writes down the message on the paper given to him and hands it back. The woman pushes a button on the box and the light goes off. I watch the screen to see Cato kicking Blight into a pall tree. Blight stands back up and swings for Cato. Failing that Cato grabs the arm he was trying to punch with and bends it back. Grabbing a knife from Cato's belt, Enobaria stabs Blight in the top of the back sending a shock through Blights back and leaving him Bleeding and fitting on the ground. Cato finishes him off by stabbing him repeatably in the stomach and chest. He walks away with a cut on his arm and ripping through his clothes which before hand were smothered in blood. They all saunter back too the cornucopia. And I watch the sponsor gift float down to land in Cato's hands. He opens it. I don't know what the gift is. Or what the note says. He takes out a small extendable dagger. He takes out the note. The camera goes behind to see the note. It reads

"Tick tock, watch the hours, stay safe - Clove" he should understand that. If not Enobaria will he hands the note to Enobaria. Spinning around Cato looks aross he runs round one side of the cornucopia. He pulls his hands over his head and rests them on the back of his head. Enobaria looks around and turns to Cato.

"Do you understand what she's saying?" Asks Enobaria "watch the hours? What does that mean?!" She shouts to the sky. Cato still looks around. He begins to count. Come on Cato, you get this. I think to myself. Cato begins to nod and Laugh. He runs to Enobaria.

"The arena. It's some sort of clock" he says

"What? Don't be stupid" says Enobaria

"Listen. Watch your hours. Tick tock. Everyone hour something happens. The lightning tree, blood ran and the breast. It's a clock!" He says. Gloss looks over to Cato

"How do you know? To be sure?" He asks

"I'm not sure. But I think that's what she's hinting at. Trust me" says Cato "the sun is just at the highest point so that means. That giant tree is midnight and midday" says Cato. I watch the ground shake below Cato's feet

"What times it now?!" Shouts Cashmere

"I'm not sure!" Shouts Cato. The middle begins to shout. "Come on. Get to the inside!" He shouts. They all run and hold on to the straps that hold the weapons. Gloss makes sure Cashmere is in safe and it gets fast. And fasting. Spinning around. In a split second Gloss' hand slips and he flys onto the rocks outside.

"Gloss! Gloss!" She shouts and she watches her brother holding on for dear life. He looks up to his sister as the cornucopia spins faster. And he let's go. Sending him into the water below. "Gloss! No! Gloss" shouts Cashmere. It begins to slow down and stop. Everyone drops to the ground. And Enobaria throws up into the water. Cashmere runs to the water edge and sees blood rising too the top "Gloss! No!" She shouts. She pulls her head down and her hair drapes down into blood filled water. "Gloss" she says. Cato pulls her up and hugs her

"It's okay" he says and she cry's into him "come on. We have too go" he says. They all stand and walk away they sit on the beach and wait. I look at the map it shows that Gloss' tracker is deactivated. He is dead. The cannon sounds. And it begins to get dark. Tomorrow it would be 3days he would have been gone and now there are only: Beetee, Wiress, Johanna, Finnick, Enobaria, Cashmere and Cato left. This is a very short games.
