I keep walking like nothing is happening, but this noise , I can't get it outta my head . I feel like it is tormenting me . It keeps telling me things I don't want to hear nor do. It's telling me to run but I don't listen. I want to turn around but i can't . I think to myself what if it is bad. I don't turn around i keep to myself.  I am thinking to myself why the one time i am alone this has to happen. I don't want to die. Then this cat popped out of nowhere and followed me to where i was going, i stopped to get snacks at the grocery store for the cat and i. I sat down and i fed it because it looked very skinny and very unhealthy. Then I start walking back on the street that I was i hear voices a bunch of voices. Like they are right inside of my ear. I am getting paranoid I can feel my body get colder, but it was just the wind. I put the little kitten inside of my backpack, I can feel her little feet shivering. She must be cold. I wrap her in my jacket that was in  my backpack. As i start to get closer to the hotel i can still hear the voices talking to me, they keep saying things that i can't understand. I can't put it together the words aren't real. I'm just hearing things. As i get closer i begin to realize i left my wallet at the store. I have to go back i say. Maybe i will go back tomorrow. But maybe someone will steal it. So I go back and right as i turn around and i see a little old lady. She looked kinda lost and confused on what she was doing. I asked her
“ they there are you okay? “
She said “yeah i'm okay i just dropped my keys , can you be a dear and pick them up for me?”
“ yeah , are you headed anywhere , do you know where you are doing ?”
“ yes i am okay i know where i am going , thank you .” 
I finally get back to the hotel to get some rest. I wanted to get some dinner so I went down to the little gift shop and i bought a tv dinner and some tuna. I pay then I leave. I get back to the room and i see open my bag and the little kitten is still there , sleeping . She is a girl so i'll name her olive. I finally get to go to sleep i make olive a little bed next to me. I fall asleep.
I wake up at 2:00 in the morning i see this shadow in the mirror in the bathroom, it looks like the old lady i had seen. I get up to see what is going on. I get to the bathroom and right as i step in the tv turns on , i get startled so i just hop back in bed with olive. I wake up the next morning and there are people knocking on my door and i put olive back in my bag .“Hang on kitty, be quiet for me”

The hotel i was staying at does not accept pets i had to hid her. They told me i had to check out.  So i checked out and booked a flight home. First i go to the store to buy stuff so i can take olive on the flight with me,  as soon as we got back to the airport, the cat started to meow , then seconds later i heard nothing. She was sleeping the whole time. Finally the long flight was over and we were home.
