Y/n POV

Pa runs up to me and I shift into myself

"Y/n!" Mamma cries and everyone runs out. Camilo in front
"What do I do?" I ask, my hands throb and my arm aches, I can't feel my cheek cut its deep, it must've cut all the nerves.

"You're bleeding" Camilo says and I ignore him.

"They destroyed everything, our home is gone, people are dead. Everything's gone." My voice is stronger than I thought it would be.

"Bring them here" Alma says and I look at her. She takes my hands in hers "take them here, we'll build more houses" I nod. I shift into a cheetah and take off, I arrive in my village or lack of and shift into myself. I wrap my arm up, and press a cloth my to face while I stand in front of the people

"What do we do?" A little girl asks, tugging my skirt and my eyes water

"We're going to the Encanto" I say and people whisper "Senora Madrigal has told me to take you there. It's a long way, I won't lie, and likely take us into night time. So grab food, water and anything else you want to carry" I say and turn away

People rush around and I rub my eyes. Someone touches my shoulder and Miguel stands there, he's been my best friend for as long as I can remember. He pulls me into a hug and I cling onto him.
"It'll be okay" He whispers and I pull away
"I killed a man" I say shakily

"He deserved it" I nod and everyone stands behind me.

"Are we ready?" I ask and everyone nods, the fires are out, the bodies are buried. I take a deep breath and lead them to the Encanto. We're three hours in when we take a break. I pace around, should I go back. No, a ghost can tell Mateo how we're doing. "Um, excuse me. If a ghost can hear me I would like you to tell my brother that we're coming and I have everyone I can find. Thank you." I say awkwardly and attend to the people who are hurt, I wrap up cuts and clean scratches. We walk until it's night time. I find a clearing in the woods and we set up a sad camp. I collapse on the ground and everyone starts to sleep. I lean against a tree and my hands are raw, close to bleeding.

"Y/n, you need sleep" I shake my head

"No, I can't let anything happen" Miguel sighs and I look at him "I already let something happen I took to long to get here, I could have saved"

"Don't talk like that." He interrupts and I hold my hands in my lap. "Sleep, I'll wake you up half ways through the night okay?" I nod and slump down, I fall asleep easily and am woken up. I smile and Miguel lays down. I rub my face avoiding my cheek and look at my arm,  I tie the cloth around it again, the last thing I need is for it to get infected. I shift into a bird and fly up, we're far from the Encanto, we'll make it by nightfall tomorrow if we're lucky.
