It has been a month sense my friend, Breanna, had dissapeared. Most of the town was confused, including her mother, Theresa, who was shocked as well. She never thought her daughter would run away. Theresa said she almost had a heart attack when she arrived home from work to find her daughter not in the house. We all fear that she might be dead, but Theresa is in denial about it, and wants to continue the search. She said, and I quote "She can't be dead! She probably made it somewhere safe, like a homeless shelter far from here". I just hope that when we find her, half of her hasn't been eaten by a pack of wolves, I don't want to see my friend torn to pieces.

Earlier, today, around 2:54, I had arrived home from school to find a CD on my doorstep, it looked like a CD that you'd burn something onto, seeing as it was mostly blank. I pick it up and observe the CD, the only thing written on it was "MEOW :3" in Sharpey, The O was shaped as a heart, which, the only person I knew that wrote like that was Breanna. I take the CD up to my room and put it in my CD player, it starts, of course, and shows a video. To my surprise, I saw Breanna, her hair was of course curly and unbrushed, the color matched her dark hazel eyes, which stood out against her lightly tanned skin that was sprinkled with freckles. She wore her usual outfit a grey hoodie, black sweatpants, and purple penguin designed socks that went up to her knees, i know they do cause she sent me a pic of them on christmas.

The only thing off about the video was her cat, not that it was doing something bad, but that it wasn't there! Along with Breanna's eyes, they were red red and puffy, as if she had been crying just before she started recording. She starts to speak, her voice soft, but just loud enough to hear. "Hey there, um, who ever see's this, I don't think you'll care much, but, my cat, Shadow, she died.". That's right, I remember her telling me that, it happened somewhere at the beginning of Feburary. It worried me how upset she was, I mean, yeah, she did love her cat alot, as if it was her child, but, she acted as if she was being taken away from her mother, who she loved as much as her cat. "I feel as if it's my fault she died, If me an my mom had money, we could have brought her to the vet, we could have saved her, or at least put her down do she wasn't in pain" I see her start to tear up at the "But my stupid ass couldn't take care of her, and that's probably why she died. Though, my mom said she probably got kitty aids or kitty lukimea, she looked it up and said that cats can get alot of diseases out of the blue" I sigh slightly at the though of how bad of shape her cat was in, and they couldn't have buried her either, It was winter, the ground was still covered in snow, and the ground was to hard, so they had to throw he out with the trash. I start to feel bad as I watch, noticing the tears streaming down her face, hearing her voice crack as she spoke, "We had to throw her out with the trash and I think it's just horrible, I, um... I'm gonna go".

Then the video stops, another part starts up, this time, wearing black fake cat ears and black cat tail "Hey, me again, my mom is concerned about how long i've been sad for, she says it's ridiculous, but she doesn't understand, Shadow was my baby!" she starts to get angry, as if this was the most important thing to her "My mom just doesn't understand, she'd act the same way if I died! But sometimes, I hear a voice, and maybe a meow even? It's probably the grief is driving me crazy, but I feel I'm sane, right? Well then again, was I ever sane?".

The video stops and starts again, showing her again. She wore her cats old collar, and I couldn't she the headband that the cat ears were attached to. The cat ears were bandaged as well, along with the tail where it should clip onto her shirt. "Hey guys, And before you ask anything, I kinda hurt Sha-, I mean My ears, yeah, my ears..." That was strange, I swear she was gonna say shadow, something about this was kinda, unsettling. "I've been hearing the voice more vividly, I think it's shadow, it will usually call me Mama, like shadow did" She said smiling.

Then the video stopped, I hoped that that was the last of it, but I was wrong, another video started, she looked the same, and the bandages weren't there, And she had this strange over joyed smiled, along with a black dot on her nose, and black whiskers, just simple cat make-up. She started to speak in a high pitched voice, "Hello! Mama said I could talk to you all, through her body of course, she doesn't want me talking for long, Right Mama?" Her voice suddenly went back to normal "that's right Shadow! I'm so glad to have you back!" She switched back to the high pitched voice "Now me and Mama are together for ever!" The high pitched voice purred.

The video stopped and started again, like it did the few times before. "sh-shadows not here right now, its been a few weeks and she's starting to scare me, she even took control of me and threatened Alex, this kid I hate, and I want her to leave. I thought i wanted her back, but, I don't think this is her, she's... different" she said normally, looking around all paranoid like, her hair was even more knotted then usual. I pause the video and look closer, and for a second I thought saw...No, it was just my head, but I swore I saw the tail stitched to her skin when she turned, around to look behind her, and even the ears stitched to her head. But it was just my mind, I'm sure of it "I, I thing I know the meaning insane now" She held her head, rocking back and forth.

The next video kinda scared me, It was just her speaking in a high pitched voice "Mama want me to leave, but I don't want to, I love her, I thought she loved me, and I'm not leaving" she said, she started to giggle, bursting into a full on maniac laugh, she needed help, and no one realised, until it was to late.

The video stopped, and the last one started, and I gasped, the bottom part of a cat mask, more specifically, the mouth and nose of a cat mask, was stitched to her face, over her nose and mouth, blood dripped down the front. Through the opening of the mouth were sharp rubber cat teeth, in the shadow of it, I saw her real mouth, it was smiling. And her eyes were no longer brown, but a glowing greenish gold, like her cats eyes were, and she just said one thing "I had to kill Mama, now I never have to leave her". In the corner was the date, which I hadn't noticed till now. The date was the day she went missing.

I got the CD out of the player and brought it to the police station, telling them that I found something that might help them find Breanna, or at least know what happened to her. I'm writing this on my phone as they review the footage, they're planning on that, if she's alive when they find her, they'll bring her to an asylum. I'm not sure if that would help, I mean, yeah, she is crazy, but never in her life, would she pretend to be her dead cat, when she had told me a few days after the loss of her cat that her other cat, midnight, had run away, I think it sensed the something bad was gonna happen, cats have and intuition to know, I wish humans had that too. Now, we now what to look for when searching for her.
