Sorry Ellimist, I wasn't terribly clear. *still miffed over fanged PC*
What I really meant was that you should take your
Prologue, and call it Chapter 1. Your next chapter, the one I'm reading now, would be Chapter 2. In other words, either have no prologue or write another one. (Read what I said about Prologues) You've got these really well done chapters with great tension builders, just as your leading chapters should be done. You have already completed your next chapters you say, and introduced new characters. That's fine, no problems there. But you need to tone it down in these chapters, otherwise your whole story would need to be written at the same hectic pace. (Not only would that be hard on you, it'd be hard on the reader).
Does that clarify things a bit better, or is it still clear as mud? LOL
Anyway, keep writing and when you've finished your book and go back to the beginning for the first edit, you'll see what I mean.
My 2c only and keep going, the story's extremely interesting.
