Y/n POV

TW mention of blood/violence

I walk back and see Camilo sitting outside. I shift into myself and he smiles at me
"How's your leg?" He asks and I drop beside him
"Good as new" I say and examine the cut

"Will it scar?"
"Oh, hundred percent, but that's okay it looks cool" I shrug and cross my legs, he laughs and sighs. I yawn and stand up, I pull him up and we walk inside, holding hands. I'm sure what we are, but whatever it is I'm happy. He kisses my forehead and I go into my room. I crawl into bed

"Night" Mateo says
"Goodnight" I say and turn off the light and by turn off the light I mean throwing a book at the light switch and it luckily hits it. I hear him laugh and I stretch out. I fall asleep easily. I wake up and quietly change into a green skirt with plants. I pull on a white shirt and tie my sandals and I walk out. I help set the table. The days go on like this, for about a week. It's peaceful. I spend more and more time with Camilo. We're eating lunch when Mateo yells

"What's wrong?" I ask and grab his arm, his eyes are focused at nothing. A ghost.
"What?" He breathes and I grab his shoulders

"What's happening?"
"Our home is being attacked" He says quietly and my heart races. "Men are burning the town, killing people" Mamma gasps and Pa stands up. I look at everyone, they're quiet. I need to help, I need to.
"Stay here" I say sterny "Senora Alma, I need you to make sure my family stays here, please" I say and she nods.

Everyone looks worried, I shift into a cheetah and run away. I hear Mamma yell and I run faster. My feet barely touch the ground, my mind races. I need to help. My heart races and I can barely breath I got home within twenty minutes, it took me too long.

I see a man run at a child named Diego and I leap at him, my teeth sink in his torso and he screams. I growl at him and stand in front of Digeo. The men gather in front of me and my heart pounds. I shift into myself and they stare at me

"Go" The people gather behind me, I'm a shield but not a very big one. "Leave!" I yell and shift into a puma and they back up. I leap at one and bite his thigh, he drags himself away and his friends jump their horses except for one. I circle around him and bare my teeth. He looks scared but doesn't back down.

I jump at him and he hits me with the hilt of his sword, I bite his arm and he gasps. He swings his sword and it cuts my arm. I clamp down on his wrist and bite harder. He swings again and cuts my face. I back up and shift into myself. Blood trickles down my arm and cheek. I'll kill him, I will, I swear.

"I'm giving you a chance" I say calmly. He holds his sword in front of him and I shift in a bird and fly around him before landing on his shoulder, shifting into a puma, pushing him to the ground and biting his neck. He goes limp and I back away, I nudge him and shift back. I feel his pulse, nothing. I turn back to the people. Many are crying, houses are burning. I look around lost.
"What are we gonna do?" A woman cries and I drag the man into the forest.

"I'll be right back, I'll take twenty minetus" I say "stay out of sight and put out the fires" they all get to work. I shift into a cheetah and run back. I see Mamma and Pa at the table where I left them. Pa runs up to me and I shift into myself.
