District One: Phalene Papillon          

I closed my eyes,  saving my eyes from the worst of the sudden flash that bathed the arena  in light. When I opened them up, the arena had changed almost  completely. The abandoned playground had transformed into a maze of  mirrors. Audax was standing right in front of me as well.

    "In the flesh." Audax said with a smile. Confidence was oozing from him. Spencer had been that confident. He was dead.

   Three bodies mimicked  his movements. At first I thought they were mirrors reflecting him, but  I didn't think that mirrors reflected noise as well.

     Picking up on my confusion, Audax decided to speak up. "Oh these are my Mutts. Aren't they handsome?"

    A solid beam of  light fired from the weapons carried by Audax and his clones. I ducked  low to the ground, letting the lasers pass over me. I looked at the  weapons carried by the Mutts. They looked like the weapons the  Peacekeeper trainees trained with, guns. I had never laid a finger on  one. Maybe if I had, I would have known how to disable the weapons and  save myself a little trouble.

   The lasers ricocheted randomly around the mirror maze. I wondered if they would ever stop.

    I took my axe and  threw it at the nearest Audax. When I had ducked, they had moved around  and I no longer had any idea of which was real and which was not.  Thankfully, the one I threw my axe at was one of the Mutts. The Mutt  itself dissolved into nothingness, it's weapon too. I could have used  that. It offered a quick and painless death, and had to have been fairly  easy to use. The mirror behind the Mutt shattered.

    Due to the multitude  of lasers flying around, more than could possibly have been shot from  the Mutts attacking me, I guessed that everyone else was dealing with  these Mutts too. The poor maze that Audax had constructed would be  destroyed in no time with everyone throwing weapons at things that  dissolved into nothingness when hit.

   I ran over and picked  up the axe I threw. Audax and his Mutts raised the guns in sync again.  It reminded me of a barbershop quartet, missing a member of course.  There were still a few of the older men who did it for fun. Now all the  entertainers are from the Capitol. I could only imagine the song that  they would be singing.

    'Baby please don't  go, baby please don't move. I just need one more chance baby, one more  chance, to kill you with my laser baby. Baby please don't go.'

    I was do absorbed in  the song that they weren't singing, that I almost missed the lasers  firing at me. I ducked again, and threw my axe at the closest Audax.  Once again, the Mutt dissolved into nothingness. Unfortunately, standing  behind this Mutt wasn't a mirror, but Josie.

    Dang, I said it  would be a shame when she died. On the bright side, her cannon fired  almost immediately so it couldn't have been too painful. I ran over to  her body. Now it was down to just Audax and one of his clones. I scooped  up my axe, as well as Josie's. it wasn't like she was going to be using  it any time soon.

    The two clones  started to walk over to me, and as I backed into my reflection, I  realized why Josie didn't try to dodge my axe. This was a dead end. I  was trapped. The two Audax's readied to shoot the guns again. I  interrupted them, throwing both of the axes I had at once. Hopefully I  wouldn't kill the real Audax. That would be very bad. Thankfully, one of  the Audax's dissolved into nothing, letting my axe fly into one of the  mirrors, while my second axe bounced off of the real Audax, who soon  vanished as well.

    I just had one question. Where was the exit to this maze?
