Story beginning ideas?

I have a story idea. It’s like a buffy/twilight crossover. so this girl candy dunham is like getting married to spike after buffy dies in season 5 and then he leaves her at the alter when he sees buffy is back and in the whole crowd type thing, and candy is best friends with rosalie and alice and bella. they have a band, and candy is closest to rosalie. they like go out and stuff, and then they leaves and goes to wolfram and hart, and her and angel become friends, go out, and get married, then some unnexpected pregnancy happens because of a prophecy. I know its a really long thing but I need some ideas on how to start it off and if she should end up with angel or one of the werewolves or if rose should come back or even some random guy but please I need your help!!!

Even if it’s cliche, simply start…and get the reader engaged with the story, the character, etc. Most people give a book at least a page or two before deciding if it’s worth reading at the bookstore before they make a purchase with a new author, I think online, we do similar. Good luck with the story….you might write something like this, given your ideas:

While it is cliche, you can always begin with: It was a dark and stormy night. The alleyway cast ebon shadows amidst the refuse and the smell frightened away most would be theives. However, Candy wasn’t a theif, she had urgent business to attend where authorities and interruptions wouldn’t be following.
