I was right about the Gamemakers wanting the Arena darker for some reason, I think. The Arena is now in total darkness and I can only see the faint outline of the trees and bushes, I can barely see Katniss who's only a few centimetres away from me. I can hear a lot of things though, animals run around all in the same direction and cry out in fear like there's something out there they desperately want to escape. Somethings out there, something is spooking the animals. I hear them run fast away, and some even whimpering. Somethings out there and that's why the Gamemakers made the Arena so dark, something deadly has entered the games. But What? I hear wolfs growling at something and instantly snap my head in the direction of the sounds, they are close but not close enough to see in this darkness. Then I hear something that makes my blood freeze and my body shake, I hear three distinctive loud growls that makes the growls of the wolf's turn into whimpers. Then I hear one on the wolfs yelp in pain only silenced after the sickening sounds of bones shattering replaces it, whatever is out there its close and unfortunately those wolfs have just come face to face with it. The other wolfs try to run, I can tell by the way their feet stomp on the ground desperately trying to escape, but one by one the wolf have their bones crushed and go silent. Whatever it is out there it's fast, deadly and efficient. But what is it? I wish I could see it, see what we're up against but it's impossible with the lack of light from the moon and the stars. I have a feeling this is what they want, the Gamemakers want us scare and to leave us wondering what it is that's going to kill us. They want us scared, they want to make this moment fall of tension for the audience as they wonder with us. What's coming to kill us? I hate this, being left scared and wonder what danger is moving around in the darkness. All I can do is hear whatever it is stomping around and wonder what it is, all I can tell is that there are three of them, they growl and they are fast deadly predators. I would give anything to just be able to see those creatures the Gamemakers have sent to kill and terrorise us.

"No wait!" I hear someone scream and my stomach sinks as I know who that voice belongs to, it's Karl, Karl has come face to face with his death. I hear him scream and then gag as I hear his bone being crushed and smashed, the cannon fires instantly and to confirm it Karl's face appears in the sky. I have to cove my mouth with my hands to stop myself from shouting at whatever it is that killed him, Karl was a nice boy and although I hardly knew him I did know he never did anything to deserve dying like that.

"We might need to climb higher" Katniss says bring my attention back into the game. "Whatever it is its getting closer" I start to hear its feet stomping but it doesn't sound that big, I think we should stay here, that we should just stay still and be quiet. "It might spot us here"

"No we should stay here and stay quiet" I tell her before she could move. "We are hidden and the darkness might be effecting it just as much as us" I don't really believe that the darkness is blinding it like its blinding us but at least it makes me feel calmer, a little bit calmer anyway. "We chose this tree well and it should hide us from anything but the cameras of cause"

"Ok" Katniss sighs although she sounds fine we are so close together that I feel her shaking, I'm shaking too but I must remain calm to stay alive. "We'll stay here"

Nearly as soon as she said those word we have to shut up and pray our shaking bodies doesn't give away our position to whatever it is approaching, I hate myself for this weakness in my body but I can't help it and nothing I try seems to stop the shaking. It's the darkness and the sounds of its stomping feet that's making me this way, plus hear Karl's bones being shattered and crushed by whatever this thing is has me shaken up. What on earth has the power to kill three wolfs and a strong boy so quickly one after another? What has the power to crush bones like they were made of glass? Whatever it is it can't be good, it's already got me scared without me even seeing it and it's that unknown, all the unknown things about this thing that has me scared. Everything I know about this thing approaching us comes from hearing it, it must be big and heavy from the sounds of its feet stomping, I know it's an animal from the way it growls and I can tell it's deadly by the sounds of its victims dying. This thing is deadly, dangerous and has me scared, all without seeing it I know this and that's what the Gamemakers probably want, us scared and our imagination driving us wild with fear as we try to imagen what this beast can possibly be.

I listen to the beast walk right to the tree we are in and come to a halt underneath it, it growls up at us like it knows we are here. How can it know we are here? We picked this tree because it will hide us, we picked it because of the thick leafs covering every branch and that its branches are also hidden by the hundreds leafs on the branches of other trees. It should know we are here but it does, how does it know we are here? As if on cue the moon appears but it's brighter than normal and lights up the Arena like it was I light just switched on, the Gamemakers want a show and we are expected to perform under this spotlight of unnatural moon light. I look down and gasp as it not one pair but three pairs of dark red eyes looking up at us, long tongs lick their three lips as they stare at us as if we are a tasty snack. We probably are to them. It a dog, a large dog with dark black fur falling out in places revelling bite and claw marks, stab and slash wound from its previous fight we heard. It's a dog but it doesn't have one head it has three, all have dark red eyes staring into our souls and making us shake more in fear, razor sharp teeth in their mouth ready to snap our bones and blood from its previous kills stains its neck and around its mouth. It's not a normal dog, ignoring the fact it has too heads this dog is twice the size of any dog I have seen before and nearly as tall as a human, a normal dog isn't as strong as this one whose muscles are large and powerful and a normal dog doesn't have eyes that look like blood.

"It spotted us" I tell Katniss not taking my eyes of that monster dog below.

"What do we do now?" Katniss asks as she too stares down into the blood eyes of this… this dog.

"We may have no choice but to fight it" I say griping the handles of my new axe tightly. "But this thing looks tough and it won't…" Katniss's hand covers my mouth mid-sentence, I was about to ask her why but then I hear it. I guess Katniss has better hearing then me because it's only now when I see that the Careers are approaching, there twig snapping feet is giving them away as they approach and the beast below hears them to. Its head snaps towards the sound of the Careers feet stomping on the ground breaking twigs and rustling leafs. Then I hear them stop in their tracks as they see the beast below us, thankfully all their eyes on the beast and not up in the tree on us.

"Cato" Glimmer asks clearly scared and about to wet herself, her eyes are wide and she clings onto Cato's strong powerful arm like a scared little kid. Cato just lightly brushes her off and now after seeing how gentle he is with her I know there's something going on between them, the only reason why she's with them instead of dead in a ditch somewhere is because she's fucking Cato. Glimmer is uses in every way but I have to admit she is good looking, Cato's probably only keeping her for sex as there's no way a brute like him can feel any emotion. "What do we do?"

"Simple we kill it" Clove says throwing her knife at the beast aiming directly for one of its heads but when her knife digs into the flesh of that thing it doesn't even flinch and only growls loudly in response, forcing Clover take a step backwards.

"I got this" Marvel says before he throws a spear at the beast but before it hit its make the beast catches the spear in one of its mouths and snaps it in half, Marvel just stares at the beast in disbelief as his broken spear falls to the ground. "What the fuck is this thing?"

"I don't now but we must kill it" Cato answers him drawing his sword and the other Careers nod at him readying their own weapons. Cato has a large tow handed sword that has a blade that shines in the moon light, Marvel draws a shorter but equally as shiny sword, Clove readies two more knifes one in each hand and Glimmer gets her bow ready although she clear doesn't know how to use it as aims it at the beat with shaky hands and her aim is much too low to hit her target. "Clove attack from the left, Marvel the right" Cato orders and both Clove and Marvel spread-out without any complaints. "I'll attack it head on Glimmer cover me with your bow"

"Ok" Glimmer replies with a voice just as shaky as her hands aiming her bow.

"Peeta stay back and attack when I tell you to" Cato continues to order and my eyes quickly find Peeta, he's holding a short sword just like Marvels and just as shiny. "Everyone getting read this things about to attack"

Katniss and I remain quiet trying to be as still as a pair of statues, we're trapped and I don't know which is deadlier, the Careers or the beast. I guess we are about to find out as the battle between the two are about to begin. The Career's take up position awaiting Cato's orders, the beast is growling using its three pairs of eyes to keep them all in its sights. The beast has a taste for blood and wants more, it's injured but that barely seems to affect it as it grows and readies itself for battle with the Careers. The beast moves first charging towards Cato but Cato doesn't show any signs of fear, he smirks like everything is going the way he wants it to.

"Clove, Marvel attack now" Cato calmly says and Clove throws her knifes at the beast, both her blades hits the beast in tis front right knee causing it to fall and grind to a halt. Marvel attacks next driving his blade deep into its stomach until the hilt of his sword smacks against the soft under belly of the beast, but through all this the beast doesn't make any signs to indicate it's in pain. Marvel barely has time to pull his sword out and jump back before one of the beast's three jaws tries to bite him, it only just misses biting off his arm. "Peeta follow me, Glimmer cover us"

"Yes" Glimmer clearly terrified replies firing an arrow but missing her target by miles. Cato and Peeta charge the beast both stabbing it in the opposite side that Marvel just di but again the beast hardly flinches, Glimmer fires another arrow but his time she hits one of the heads in the neck. Again the beast doesn't seem to care, but Glimmer may have made a mistake. The beast looks at her licking all three of its lips and charges, Glimmer fires again and misses again. "Cato help!" She cries out as the beast reaches her. "Cato!"

"Glimmer" Cato says as the beast takes her right arm in one mouth, her left leg in another and her head in its middle mouth. Seconds later we hear Glimmers bones snap and crush as we watch blood pour from the three mouths of the beast. A cannon booms and Glimmers face appears in the sky confirming the horror we just saw, Glimmer is dead. The beast drops what's left of her body and turns back to face the Careers this time with Glimmers still warm fresh blood dripping down its three mouths. "Clover take out its knees" Cato says his voice trembling and hands shaking in anger, maybe he really did love Glimmer and weren't just using her for sex. "Everyone else cut open that things belly and rip out its guts"

Cato charges the beast lost in rage as Clove takes out its left front knee taking away both its front legs and causing it to fall slamming its head into the ground with a loud thud. Marvel and Peeta have no choice but to follow Cato and are charging behind him but quickly catching up as Cato's large heavy sword weighing him down. Together all three of them reach the beast and drive their swords into its side, the beast fights back snapping its head round to bite them. Cato and Peeta dodge the attack and escape while pulling out their swords, Marvel though isn't as lucky. One of the beasts heads bites, it wipes him around and throws him in the air where the other two heads catch him and tear his body in half. The cannon fires and Marvels face appears in the sky, three tributes dead within ten minutes of each other, the Gamemakers are really burning through us tonight. Cato quickly attack again slashing the beasts side causing a sea of blood to flood out of the beasts side, soon the beasts falls over and dies as Cato's feet and shines becomes stained with its dark red blood that's the same colour as its eyes. Katniss and I stare in horror as we watch the blood flood the area around our tree, we try to remain silent and not gasp at the sight of the gore and carnage below. But even once the beast is dead and bleed white Cato still continues attacking it, slice and dice its flesh so every organ in its body falls out and even then he continues. It isn't until Peeta stands between Cato and the dead beast that Cato finally stops, although at first it looked like Cato would just continue his assault and cut right through Peeta to get to the beasts mutilated corpse.

"Cato its dead already continuing this is just a waste of time" Peeta tells him and at first it looks like Cato's about to run him through with his sword but instead he just nods. "We should get moving"

"Yeah your right" Cato says turning his back to the beast. "You have your girlfriend to find and I have a seven to kill" Cato smiles at the words seven and kill. "Her District Partner was just killed so we should find her crying somewhere"

We watch them leave walking off into the distance but Katniss moves quickly making me jump at her sudden movement, she jumps down to a lower branch and then climbs down to the blood covered ground around our tree. I sigh and climb down jumping over the pool of blood, while most of it anyway as I land at the edge of the pool. I walk over to where Katniss is picking some objects off of the ground, when I get closer I see that she's picked up Glimmers bow and is collecting her arrows. I start to help her without saying a thing in case Cato, Peeta and Clove are still in ear shot, I pick up several of the scattered arrows plus the backpack she was wearing when she was… when she was killed. I walk over to Katniss and hand her the arrows and the pack.

"Wait here I'll go get our things" I whisper to her. "We should find a different place to spend the rest of the night" Katniss nods and I go back up our tree, I quickly pack our merger belongings and climb back down to Katniss. "Come on let's get going"

Hopefully that will be it for tonight. Hopefully the Gamemakers will let us have a good night's sleep. I hope that the Careers fighting, dying and killing that beast will by us some time of peace before the Gamemakers try to make the games more fun, hopefully this will be the last blood shed tonight. But that's not the case, unfortunately as we walk the cannon booms for the fourth time in such a short period.
