Katniss quickly found her place on the podium. She was only one of three people who were safe from the move. Peeta quickly grabbed her hand to comfort her. She looked over the crowd. Everyone in front of her stood in straight lines waiting. Her eyes quickly found where her mother was standing. Prim standing beside her, desperately clutching the suitcase that each of them was required to pack in case their names were drawn.

"Welcome," The mayor said as he approached the podium. "The way this will work is simple. The names of every head of house in the district have been placed in the tumbler. I will pull the names out one at a time. Everyone's who name is chosen will be escorted to the empty warehouse by the train tracks. After all the names have been called, you will have an hour to say your goodbyes before you are escorted onto the trains for your new districts.

"Let's start with those being sent to District 1"

Katniss quickly let the events that she was watching unfold without paying much attention. Families that she knew all of her life were being told that they were being required to move from the homes that they had lived in all their lives.

"Gale Hawthorne" the Mayor continued. Katniss's heart sunk. She was prepared for that moment. She had been for a while: since the President made his original announcement.

"Where is he being sent?" Katniss whispered to Peeta.

"District 3," Peeta whispered back. "At least there he can avoid the mine."

Katniss tried to forget about the proceedings. She thought about the woods. It had been almost a year since she stepped foot on the other side of the electric fence that surrounded District 12. Her hunting routine was broken the day that Romulus Thread took over as Head Peacekeeper from District 12. She was not paying attention when her mother's name was called to go to District 6. Peeta squeezed her hand a little tighter. She looked at the looks in her mother's eyes. The look that told her all that she needed to know. Katniss waited for the proceedings to be over before she walked over to Prim. Prim ran at her and latched onto her waist. The familiar squeeze was tighter than usual. "I don't want to leave you," she, her eyes blurry with tears.

"Stay with Mom, and be on your best behavior. Keep up with our studies and focus on training." Katniss whispered to Prim and she pulled the crying girl into her arms.

"Go to Mom now," Katniss said as she nudged Prim towards her mother. She latched onto Katniss hiding her crying face into Katniss's dress.

"Stay strong little duck" Katniss whispered as her mother picked up her suitcase and walked out of the old abandoned warehouse. Katniss pulled her crying sister away, nudged her to follow her mother.

"Did she leave already?" an unsteady voice behind her almost whispered. Katniss turned to see Rory, Gale's middle brother standing behind her. Katniss had tried not to think about Gale much lately. She did not get a chance to say goodbye to Gale, and part of her was glad about that. Since the first time she stepped on stage for all of Panem to see, her relationship with Gale had been strained.

"She is gone Rory," She said. She could not hide the pain in her voice.

"I was hoping to tell her goodbye." He said with a sad tone. "Gale is gone too. He did not say goodbye to anyone, he just went straight to the train that will take him to 3.
