I am assuming that the sounds are all mixed. Some movies are louder when music is theme music is playing and when it stops, voices are very low. So this second one is just volume adjustment.

Is it normal for a cat to be this scared?<br /><br />It is normal if there is one person that it won,t run from.

But what if she's younger? If I meet her can I get arrested, even though her profile said she was 18?<br /><br />I would think if you were with her and she was thirteen or such, the arresting officers would look at what is the fact here, and that she is underage and the law is broken and you get arrested.
