Recently, I started a new novel. It's book one in a series and for a while it was going really good. Now, however I can't figure out where it should go from here. in the novel itself. So far, what I have is this:
"Prologue
Lightning lit up the midnight sky, turning it a brilliant purple. At the same exact moment a floodgate opened and rain began pouring down, soaking the solitary figure of a girl sitting upon a rock. She didn't seem to notice the sudden downpour, her vivid green eyes stared straight into the sky as though waiting for something to drop out of it. If anyone had been around to see her, they'd notice the blood that dripped from her mouth, and the venom-laced tears that rolled down her ivory skinned cheeks. But the truth was that there was no one around to even notice her presence. Maybe, even if there had been someone around to see her, they'd fail to notice her. Maybe, just maybe, she'd be safe from the prying human eyes that would undoubtedly stare.
As a human, she'd never been particularly beautiful. Her hair had been the one aspect of her physical appearance that she'd been able to say was beautiful. It was waist length, straight, and a brilliant shade of blood-red. Girls everywhere had been jealous of her hair and she'd loved being the subject of that envy. After all, it was the closest she'd ever come to feeling beautiful. Until he came along. With the arrival of Damien Darkvein, my whole life changed. He was beautiful, ethereal almost. No one knew his story, or anything but his name really, no one but her. He'd shared everything with her and in return she gave him her heart. They dated for a short time, six months, before he told her the one thing he'd kept at bay: he was an Undead Shifter, an immortal race of beings that descended from both Vampires and Shape-Shifters. Oddly enough, she hadn't been afraid or even disbelieving of his confession. In fact, she'd wanted to know more. She was his soulmate, he said, and he wanted to claim her as his own. She agreed to his demand and they set the date to transform her from fragile human to invincible Undead Shifter. The plan had gone without a hitch...until the last second.
Her parents had come home early from their anniversary dinner and things had gotten out of hand. Damien had been forced to hide in the shadows and watch as she destroyed her family. They'd been chased out to the beach by Hunters where she was shot. It wasn't a mortal wound, but she couldn't Shift with a wound in her leg. After making sure the Hunters had been killed Damien took her to safety and took off into the night sky to gather the rest of their Clan. She'd been waiting for six hours now and she was starting to get worried. Her eyes watched the sky anxiously, waiting for the familiar sight of Damien's Black Dragon. For several minutes there was nothing except for the lightning that occasionally lit up the sky. "
Any suggestions?
