The problem

Liberty coughed again. This wasn't normal. Had she been poisoned?! But why just her and Lemo, Arina was also there, so why wasn't she coughing? What was happening? Liberty fell to the ground, and Lemo rushed over to heal her. "What's going on?" Liberty asked. Arina could be.. not Arina. An imposter maybe? "I don't know.." Arina and Lemo seemed to answer at the same time. Liberty thought to ask Queen and King Nova, the gods of the sky, for help. But when she looked up, the sky had turned grey. Smoke, of course! Liberty thought to herself. How had I been so stupid? "It's coming from the forest!" Lemo said, louder than usual. The group ran to the stream, Liberty gather clouds from the sky to soak up some water. These clouds were smoke clouds, so they carried less water in them, but it was their best attempt at putting out the fire. When they got to the source, there wasn't a lighter or torch. No sign of arson throughout the whole forest. Definitely not lightning, so what started it? After seemingly hours, they had put out the fires, Lemo had to use her powers constantly and was left very tired by the end of it. The team knew whoever started it could still be here, they had to stay. Arina saw a shadow dart behind a tree. Arina mouthed "She's over there", pointing. She walked quietly towards the tree, hoping to surprise them. Liberty and Lemo got there seconds after. Arina looked surprised. "What is it? What happened?" All that was left on the tree was scorch marks. Arina seemed lost in thought. "Arina!" Liberty waved in front of the seemingly unconscious girl. An hour later, Arina woke up in a hospital bed, with Liberty, Lemo, and Mrs. and Mr. Kenady sitting next to her. "She's awake!" Arina opened her mouth, hoping to explain, but only one word came out. "Olivia"
