Howo can I continue this story?

I am writing a story and I finished my first chapter but am unable to continue with chapter 2. I would love some ideas if you have any. So basicly my story begins with Sarah on her way to a cabin in the woods for a vacation away from everyone. She wakes in the middle of the night to the brightest moon she has ever seen in the sky and decides to go for a walk in the woods. Then we cut to Kaden, the vampire, waking from his healing rest in the ground. He cannot sense anyone around and so feels it is safe too rise. (He cannot sense Sarah because she is a True Witch but she does noto know) He opens the earth and rises up into the air, dresses as the same time, closes the earth below and floats back down. Sarah walks up and sees him just as he is floating back down and makes a noise. Kaden turns toward her in shock but he has the red eyes and pointed teeth of a vampire ready to feed. Sarah screams and faints...... And so ends my first chapter. I have no idea how to continue it.

Howo can I continue this story?
Sounds kind of cliche.





But anyways, she could be taken back to the cabin by Kaden. Or Kaden can take her back to his place and he could help her become conscious. Or he could run and leave her there and someone else can find her. Someone who probably knows Kaden as a human and not a vampire. Or she could just wake up in the morning in her cabin and think it was all a dream. Or wake up in the forest alone in the morning.





Good luck!
Reply:He takes her to his lair cause shes beautiful and wants to either make a feast out of her, or convert her to becoming a vampire also. He questions why he is unable to sense the girl, and then she awakes. They begin to talk, she is scared of him but he begins to love her. Later, his brother comes, who is a bit younger and very handsome (but he is very vicious) and he goes to kill her, thats when she discovers her true potenial as a witch and unleashes ridiculous power.
Reply:I like what Melissa said, about him taking her back to his lair. He does it because he cannot make up his mind: she is beautiful, so does he want to use her to feed on or does he want to make love with her and potentially make her his bride? Then, he decides he ultimately wants to hold her captive as his girlfriend, before making her a vampire. When he holds her captive, after a few days she unleashes her insane, unknown power as a true witch.





that's a good continuation if i've ever heard one!!!

Reply:if this is a book you want to sell, let me mention that there isn't much of a market for vampire novels unless they have a new and unique twist.. lots of them have been done so make sure yours is new.





Suggestion: you should make a new chapter for the switch to the vampire, and each time you change point of view. You don't have to but it would help the reader keep the story straight and who's doing what. If you don't make new chapters with each switch, be sure to put in a break using *** on a blank line.





Also if you're not clear on Point Of View (POV) you need to get a book or two and read about it. it makes a world of difference in writing a readable story. Just the short part you wrote here shows you're getting the POV's mixed up.. keep one to a chapter or section





Do you know where the story is going to go? What is going to happen (at least in general)? The story will not write itself, but it will carry you if you let the characters do their thing. You could do the next part with Sarah waking up-- where, when, and with whom are the questions...
