All at once I started packing a bag as quickly as I could, of clothes, and valuables. I saw my cat rush in, her eyes filled with fright, at that instant I knew we had to leave now. I finished throwing as much stuff in my bag as I could, then grabbed my wallet and a couple of other things, (incase this was it and I would never come back here). Together with smudge, (my cat) I flung myself out of my window with him safety in my arms, purring as we reached the ground. I didn't know what was going on but I kept running and running  till my feet felt like bricks and till I had no idea where I was.
