Cloudy skies pierced her eyes as she opened them to see a wet and leaf trodden world around her. Her clothes were clinging to her and she didn't know where she was or who she was.

Confusion skittered through her mind, the name Sebastian kept going through her head. She tried to get to her feet and found that she could, although a bit dizzy, she vaguely remembered the horror of last night. Rain lashing down at her, she passed out from sheer fright, exhaustion or a combination of it.

Wearily, she climbed up the steep bank and saw a skinny road disappearing into the bush on one side and then extending as far as the horizon on another side.

Deciding to walk in the latter direction, she hobbled along for awhile, coming to a bend in the road, she saw a cabin through the trees and a whirl of smoke lifting through the branches.

Bracing a hand on her hip, she walked down the broken stairs and made her way to the cabin. Knocking on the door, hearing no response, she pushed the door open and saw a young dark haired handsome man sitting by the fire.

"Brooke, I was out all night searching for you, where were you?" Sebastian got up and walked towards her.

Brooke moved forward towards him and felt a cramp seize her thigh and collapsed.

Thanks for the reviews!
