We made it

Y/n POV

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. The sun slowly rises and people start to get up. I kick out the fires and we start walking, I shift into a lion and the smaller kids climb on my back. We walk for four solid hours and then take a break. Some people nap, others eat. Everyone is lost, they don't know what to do, I don't know what to do. We're back on the road, my eyelids flutter closed and I shake my head. The sun starts to set and we set up camp. We'll be at the Encanto by tomorrow. I walk around and Miguel sits down,

"You sleep, I can't" I mutter as wraps clean-ish cloth around my palms, they're starting to bleed and he lays down. Once everyone is asleep I fly up, we're so close. We should have kept walking. I look at our group, it isn't a lot, twenty three people and counting. I let out a shaky breath and rub my face. I wipe away the tears and wait for the sun to rise. It does and people start to wake up. I get them walking as fast as I can.

I let the kids ride on my back. After an hour and a half we reach the Encanto. I sigh with relief and Mateo sprints to me, the kids slide off me and I shift into myself. He hugs me.

"Thank god you're okay" He mutters in my ear and turns to Miguel, Abuela addresses everyone and Pa hugs me. I hug him back and break down.

"I got you, you're okay" He whispers and strokes my hair. I sob. He leads me into the Madrigal casa and into his room. I sit on his bed.
"I-I" I gasp

"Deep breaths"

"I killed a man" I sob "He was attacking people, they all left except for him, he was going to hurt the kids and I killed him" I sniffle

"Good" and I look up "Mija, you did the right thing." He hugs me again and I look in the mirror, I look horrible, my face and clothes are dirty, my hair is a mess, and I have dark bags under my eyes. My arm bandage has blood seeping through and I look away. My cheek is bruised and scabbing.

"Let's get some food in you" Pepa says and sits me at the table, I stare at my food.
"You need to eat," Julieta says and I take a small bite. When I finish my food I take a shower, I feel better. I change into a red skirt that stops at my knees, a white tank top and I leave my hair down. I rub my face, I look better. I examine my cut, it's dirty, I clean it and wince. I wrap a bandage around my arm and take a deep breath. I walk out and look for Abuela, I find her and she hugs me
"Thank you mi vida" She says and I smile slightly "Thank you for protecting them" I nod and Miguel runs up to me. He hugs me and I chuckle. His arm is around my shoulder

"She's amazing isn't she" He teases and I roll my eyes

"She is" Abuela confirms

"I should have taken you with me" I mumble and Abuela takes my face in her hands

"You got them out, that's all that matters, you protected them. You." I nod and she kisses my cheek. I sigh and walk with Miguel to the town square. I'm exhausted.

"I'm going to go back" I say and he nods "we'll have houses built soon" I smile

"Y/n, you don't need to be strong for me, I know you're human and I know you haven't slept in two days" he says softly and my hands shake in his. I hug him tightly and he hugs me back before I walk up to the Madrigal casa. I look at my hands, they're raw, slowly healing. I sit at the trunk of a tree in the shade.
