A/N : This is me - RunawayBaby. I changed my username. Anyways - I am so sorry I haven't posted in a long time. I have been insanely busy. Alright - here goes ... Oh yeah - and please review, it lets me know if I am portraying your tribute correctly!

Lia's POV (4)

We rest in the woods while we wait for the hovercraft. It gives us time to catch our breath. We got loads of supplies and weapons of all types. My adrenaline is running hight, because I am in a death arena, but I calm my shaking hands and open a pack with the clue inside.

Alive without breath,
As cold as death,
Never thirsty, ever drinking,
All in mail never clinking.

"Hey guys - check out the clue!" My fellow Careers gather around me.

"What does it mean?" asks Helix. "I don't know, genius, that is what we are supposed to figure out!" Skyler gave him a push. Sheesh, tensions are sure running high here.

"Alive without breath ... what can be alive without breath? Air?" I wonder aloud. "Probably not, when have you seen air be alive?" Helix snarly replies. I out the clue in my pocket and promise to think about it tonight.

We head back towards the Cornucopia and set up camp there. Gem starts a fire and I scoot up towards him.

"Hey, should we ask the girl from 6 - Malinda to join our alliance? We are short a Career since Chase bailed on us." I ask sweetly.

He turn towards me. "Maybe, if we can find her - she could be of assistance. But first I want to take down that Milo kid form 10. He is stealing the tributes!" He glares and turns back to his fire.

I want to laugh. Who cares if someone else is killing the tributes? Shouldn't we be glad that it is not us? I don't understand people sometimes.

I settle down in my sleeping bag, close to the fire. Gem awkwardly gets up.

"I'm going to see if I can find some water." he sort of mumbles. Skyler looks up from the clue. "Well, take a weapon or two, we have enough!" she grins. Gem rummages through the weapons and comes away with a sword. Hailey breaks he silence, "I'll come with you." She grabs some knives and the two of them jog off.

It is a few minutes after they leave that I realize, we had about 10 full water bottles. What is up?

Saryn's POV (7)

Alive without breath,
As cold as death,
Never thirsty, ever drinking,
All in mail never clinking.

We all hover over the clue and I can immediately feel my brain go into overdrive. Alive without breath. Hmmm

"Could it be a fire?" Kieran asks. "Not as cold as death," says Sasha. True, true.

Never thirsty, always drinking. "I think it has to like, live in water," I say. "Yeah, but the mail part. Why would a lake get mail?" Kieran asks.

"No, mail, like armor." She still looks confused, so I explain further. "Mail is like a scaly armor - "

"Fish!" Sasha exclaims, then quickly clamps a hand over her mouth. We all sit quietly waiting to hear if anyone heard us. Silence falls and the woods grow darker around us. "I think I saw a stream a while back. I bet there is fish there. And even if that isn't the clue, we can still get some food." Sasha stands up and we all follow.

"I should go by myself. I have the weapon. Besides, no offense, I am the quietest." I say. My other two allies don't quite like this idea, but with a little convincing, I prepare to head out.

My heart is racing in my chest. But I need to do this to get back to Asher and Siel, my only family. And my friends. I take off my shoes and put them over my shoulder - a secret i learned in District 7. Keeping quiet and trying not to breath loudly, I make it to the stream. I am about to attempt to catch a fish when I hear voices. I quickly scale a tree, thank goodness they are all tall and sturdy.

It's the boy from 1 and the girl from 2. He is laughing and making no effort to be quiet. He picks her up and is twirling her around, she is giggling. They seem almost normal. I shake it off and think about trying to catch a fish. I have never done that before. After a while they hear noises and decide to leave. So there is something the Careers are even scared of. I wonder if it is the little psycho from 10. He was insane at the bloodbath. I make my way down the tree and then walk into the stream. I fill up the bottle and then prepare to bring it back to our camp when I see a fish by my feet, nipping at my toes. It is a salmon. I raise my axe and the water fills with blood.

I carry my kill back to camp and Sasha and Keiran help me gut it. I see a small piece of paper embedded in its gills. I take it out.

Our next clue ... but first, the dead in the sky rise.

Eta's POV (11)

Darn that Career. The one that got me with her knife. I think she is from 1. Anyways, I should be lucky I made it out alive. Not like the ones who died during the bloodbath.

Sunny and Chase are sitting on the floor and talking about strategy. I have pretty good allies. Chase is big and strong - and an Ex-Career. I wonder why he didn't join. Although whenever anyone brings it up, he seems to go all cold.

The other little one, Jessabel is not back yet. She probably got lost, being young and all.

The Capitol seal rises in the clear night sky. It begins to flash the fallen. The boy from 3, who was really smart. The boy from 8. The boy from 9, he fell off his platform. And Jessabel? I hear Sunny gasp and I know it is true. Our little ally has not made it out of the Hunger Games alive. I bow my head and have a moment of silence of her memory while the boy from 11 makes his last appearance to any of us.

I am incredibly sad. I shouldn't be. I should be brave. It is a fight to the death. But that little girl will never see her family again. Sunny opens her pack and takes out the clue - which could help us.

Alive without breath,
As cold as death,
Never thirsty, ever drinking,
All in mail never clinking.

"Wow. That is hard." Chase says, smiling. Sunny grins at me and I pipe up, "But we can solve that, easy as, as ... a piece of Capitol pie!" I say that mostly to perk up my allies spirits but for the entertainment back in the Capitol. Maybe I will get sponsors.

I decide to start from the bottom up. So this thing is alive, but doesn't breathe. So it is probably not a human.

Always drinking. That is some sort of water reference. Chase is going to have to pick up that one.

Mail as in armor? So is it a person? Is it like a medieval knight, they had those a long time ago, before the Dark Days.

The thirsty line really gets me. So that doesn't sound human, it is probably a thing. So it is an ocean, or a river. My mind is going a million miles a minute.

Maybe it lives in the ocean, like a "Fish." I say the last part aloud. Chase jumps up and claps me on the back. I discovered the first clue!

Milo's POV (10)

Clue? I didn't pick up a clue. But as I rummage through the sack of someone's pack that I snatched, I find a piece of paper.

Alive without breath,
As cold as death,
Never thirsty, ever drinking,
All in mail never clinking.

It makes absolutely no sense to me whatsoever. I put it away and think about it later.

I am prepared for the night. I have a blanket, but the weather seems ok. I bolted to the forest, but it was near the ocean, so I could strike like a cobra on my kill.

Milo the cobra. I like that. When I win, everyone will call me that.

I drift off to sleep as the sky shows my kills, their last wishes, never heard.

I dream of blood.

Malinda's POV (6)

I see Atticus's face in the sky and feel immense guilt and sorrow. He is gone.

My only love. I had passed him in the halls wandering the Capitol at night. We stayed up and talked, until the morning. About our family. He was nice, not the cocky, self-centered boy everyone else saw. He had an older brother with a girlfriend.

His family was big and always there. Unlike mine. I wonder if they even are watching me. I am well hidden near the beach, in a cave made by sand. I will look at the clue tomorrow. I am exhausted.

I just want to sleep.

Well, here were your tributes! Take the poll on my profile to see who should win! I won't necessarily follow the results ...
