Cold rain pounded on the pavement, Brooke ran down the isolated road. A pair of headlights chased as the car gathered speed.
Screaming in fright, Brooke ran as fast as she can. The car sped after her. At the last second, Brooke tripped on some weeds and tumbled down a steep embankment on the side of the road. Rolling down the hill, she hit her head………………. Where am I? was her last conscious thought.………………..and blacked out.
Rhythmic dripping rain awoke Brooke. Slowly she adjusted to the throbbing pain of her head. "Where am I?"
"You're in my cabin," a soft male voice broke into her rambling thoughts.
Slowly Brooke turned her head. "Who the hell are you?"
"You don't remember me?" he seemed confused.
"Some one give this guy an Oscar." Sarcasm overlaid her tones. "Obviously I don't remember you, I don't know who the hell I am." Laying her head back down gently, Brooke ignored him.
"You don't know who you are?" he repeated.
"That's right, how did I get here? Where is here?" Brooke asked.
"I found you a few feet away from my woodpile, when I went to get wood for the fire tonight. Here is a place called One Tree Hill in North Carolina. I just moved here and I met you today at school. Your name is Brooke Davis. Beyond that I don't know. My name is Sebastian."
Ignoring him, my name is Brooke, seems to fit. She tuned back in as he said something about going back into town. No, I can't go back to town, then he'll find me.
"Anyway the roads around here will be flooded because of the storm, so taking you anywhere will have to wait until tomorrow. You seem okay for now, no broken bones, or internal injuries." Sebastian assessed her.
"Great, I'm going to sleep." Brooke pulled the bedcovers over her head and went to sleep.
Sebastian sat in front of the fire, staring at the lump in his bed. It's only a matter of time now.

I know this chapter is short, the next one will tell you how Brooke got to where she is and a bit about her amnesia.
