Brown Vaginal discharge

I am not sexually active, and I have not had my period yet.  This morning when I woke up, I found my panties to feel sticky and wet.  Thinking it was just a lot of normal discharge, I went to put new underwear on.  Surprisingly, the large amount of discharge was brown! This has never happened to me before, so I smelt it to see if the smell could indicate whether it was my period kicking in or what.  It did not smell like iron or blood, it smelled like...barbeque sauce, the exact barbeque sauce that I had for dinner the previous night.  I know this cant be normal, and I am very worried, please help!
