Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Dallas. Poor girl! A discharge from her vagina isn't normal and this can be a sign of something serious like a pyometra. While she is a young cat, this can happen in cats her age, and it would cause her a lot of pain. It could also be she has a bladder issue. I would take her into a vet as soon as possible to have this diagnosed and treated. Taking her into an ER vet now would be best. I hope this helps!
