Very sorry if there is anything confusing in there, like first person or the wrong tense. This was in first person at first, but then the author and I changed it. We might've missed something, but I'm pretty sure I got everything left over. Also, this was written a little bit differently. Most of the book's been past tense so far, but this was in present tense, so I had to change that. Tell me if I missed something. And if you don't understand a word, that's because the author is British and they use slightly different vocabulary there. Just mention it below.

After being told to change into the clothes that they had given her, Amy pulled on the tight black pants cut off at the knees (She had never seen anything like it), a long-sleeved shirt, and black and grey rubber shoes that Alli called 'sneakers,' shaking like a leaf throughout the process.

    Re-entering the training room, Amy sighed shakily as a crowd of people gathered around the arena that she would most likely be killed in. Smiling at her, Alli nodded reassuringly as she handed Amy a bottle and a whistle.

    Amy looked at her quizzically and she merely shrugged in answer. "We have to ensure that you are the real princess and not a doppelgänger pretending to be her. If you are truly her, your power will guide you. You will know what to do when the time comes" Alli said.

    Walking into the centre of the crowd, Amy realized that the place was bigger than she had originally though it was. She could die in a matter of minutes and all she could think about was how her mother was a troll. Ocliv, the only person she kind of knew in this place, had been taken from her and now she was about to prove herself worthy to these people. She didn't even know why she was proving her worth, for she didn't even want to be a princess. Amy felt stupid, scared, and overall unnerved at the thought of what people were about to do to her.

'You are AMY BROWN, (or Tria Crystalwood) you survived in the Academy for a long time, you can do this! You can do this! Be strong!' she thought to herself.

    Whilst they geared up, she waited, chanting the same thing over and over.

Be strong, Be strong, Be strong.

    The temperature in the room began to rise, and Amy closed her eyes and rolled her shoulders to release some of the tension that resided there.

Be strong, Be strong, Be strong.

    Breathing deeply in and out, she opened her eyes once again. Gasping loudly, Amy said the worst of the mild and rare swear words that she had heard in the Academy, staring at the ring of fire that was ablaze around her small body.

    Amy looked for a way out, spining frantically in a full circle and whimpering quietly when she saw that she was trapped. Amy then realized that she was also no longer located in the training room, but in a forest.

    "I'm stuck in the middle of a fire among plenty of dry wood with no way out," she whispered to herself. Okay, think... think! Amy! think!... think. Think. Think!

    Looking down at the things that had been placed into her hands, Amy frowned deeply. Even though she had water, that amount wouldn't put out that much fire and she couldn't just throw away the only resource that could save her life. Amy pulled the string that was attached to the whistle over her head so that it was resting on her chest and she had one less thing to carry. Closing her eyes once again, Amy focused on that slight buzz that sat at the back of her brain. Recalling the way it had felt when she had stopped both Ocliv and herself from dying that day at the cliff, she tried to bring it to the surface and concentrate on it hard enough, until she felt as though she had a tight grip on it and it wouldn't slip away.

    Breathing in and out Amy calmed herself.

Be Strong!

Trying not to lose concentration and therefore lose her grip on the ball of energy that she held inside of her, Amy placed the whistle in her mouth and began to blow it calmly to try and get the attention of anyone in the arena. Feeling the energy begin to buzz in response as it felt her urgency, she felt the fire starting to lick her arms and legs painfully, growing larger. Amy growled loudly as the pain increased.  Dropping the whistle from her mouth Amy screamed in frustration.

    'I don't know what to do.' she admited. 

    'Calm down'. A voice whispered soothingly in her head and she jumped in shock.

    "Who's there?!" Amy shouted, but nobody replied.

    'You need to calm down'. It whispered again and she tried taking its advice, taking deep breaths and focusing on slowing her heart rate down. 'Good, now, place the bottle of water at your feet. Remove the lid and close your eyes'. It commanded urgently. She did as she was told, clumsily placing the bottle on the ground as the heat of the fire increased considerably.

    'Now, repeat what I say out loud'. The voice's soothing whisper urged her, and Amy nodded.

    'Impertos Aqua An Emberdos Largos'. It whispered, and Amy repeated the chant. 

'Harness that power you felt several seconds ago as you chant'.

She did as it said, realising that her hands were moving back and forth on their own accord. The heat began to subside and the pain from the fire disappeared completely. Amy sighed with relief.  She opened her eyes,  and discovered that she was back in the training room, with the crowd looking at her seeming shocked, slightly scared, and very windswept.

    "Proven?" she asked Alli and Beranda. They both nodded enthusiastically.        

    "Good, because I'm exhausted." she said, right before everything became distorted. 

    However, the energy at the back of her head was stronger than it was before and it soothed Amy as her body tried to recover. 'You did well.' The voice said before all of her senses shut down and she was plunged into darkness.

****I don't even know why I'm bothering to say that I have permission to put this here****

I can't believe how good this book has turned out. The amount of authors writing in it and it actually works. It was a great experience to have to come up with something so quickly. I mostly write fantasy books but I also write romances too. Thanks for reading my chapter!!!
