"Looks like a girl, but she's a flame

So bright, she can burn your eyes

Better look the other way

You can try but you'll never forget her name"

-Alicia Keys

Today was the day that Bella and Edward were to be married, and Bella was a mix of both happy and sad. Neither one of her best friends would be here to witness such a milestone in her life before she would have to eventually move away once she was turned.

Edward didn't have to be able to read her mind or have Jasper's power to know what his wife had been thinking the whole time. TJ had burrowed her way into each of their lives and as sad as they were for her to leave, they knew she had to go. It just made one of his gifts to Bella, all the more special.

"My present is all the way over here?" Bella asked her husband as he brought her towards the back of the house.

They kept walking until she spotted Jacob and some of the wolf pack standing alongside a projector. Edward could sense the other wolves just past the trees and knew that they were watching. She ran to give Jacob a hug. When they broke apart, Jacob handed her a small remote.

"Hit play." Bella furrowed her eyes brows and did as she was told. The projector started and an image of TJ popped up.

Paul couldn't get over how gorgeous TJ looked as she watched the projector screen. Her hair was straight and down, she was wearing a gold leaf crown and she was wearing a red dress with a deep v neck plunge line.

"Is this thing on?" Her voice asked someone from behind the camera. "Okay, hey guys and Mr. and Mrs. Cullen... that feels so weird to say. I'm sorry I couldn't be there for your wedding. Thank you so much for everything you all have done for me. Hopefully when I see you all again, I'll be Trinity, Queen of the Amazons!

It brought tears to everyone's eyes at the sight of their friend, she looked happy and they all hoped to see her soon. Especially with the knowledge that he life could be in danger at the moment, for the dagger still barely glowed.

TJ couldn't help but be nervous, today she faced her last opponent and she was exhausted. The three others that she had to face didn't require her to use even a third of her strength, the only reason why they challenged her was to raise their status.

"You can do this." Ártemis encouraged.

She was called into the area and she took a deep breath. She didn't recognize her opponent and she knew every god and goddess by heart.

"Begin!"

TJ shot an arrow at the goddess and right when it was about to hit her, a wall of fire shot up and burned the arrow.

Fuck me sideways

The Phoenix demigod held her palm out as four fireballs formed and shot at TJ. TJ ran towards them and expertly dodged them, but one managed to singe the end of her hair. She threw her dagger at Phoenix and Phoenix melted her dagger. The fire acted as the perfect defense and offense so TJ couldn't get to close or she'd die.

TJ was running out of options as nothing she did seemed to work. The woman smirked and made a fire whip. She shot the whip out and TJ tried to dodge it but was a second to slow. TJ screamed at the top of her lungs as the fire ate away at the flesh on her upper arm.

She dropped her knees in exhaustion and Phoenix took that as her chance to run towards her. TJ clapped her hands together and the sonic wave blasted Phoenix across the arena. It gave TJ enough time to get back to her feet.

It didn't do anything but make Phoenix angry, rage consumed her as she realized that she was being bested by an Earth dweller. Her body engulfed in flames.

Finally, TJ knew what to do. She ran towards her and only hoped that she'd be quick enough. She dodged every flame that came her way as she ran around Phoenix as fast as she could. TJ could feel the air around her follow as she ran around Phoenix. Little by little Phoenix's flames diminish as the air that TJ was manipulating suffocated her.

Once the flames were completely gone and Phoenix lay choking on the ground TJ took her chance. She took her other dagger off her thigh and plunged it into Phoenix's heart.

The area erupted into cheers

She had won
