In each scene you write, you need to be looking ahead to what will come next. Now you don't have to spell this out in bold letters but little hints as to a coming event are good and will propel the reader forward. You need to make sure what you are planning for the next big scene or the little scene is consistent with your characters. You can also use this time to make minor changes in a character to make the next big scene seem right for the character. There's nothing more upsetting to a reader than to have the consistency broken by a character taking a step that they know wouldn't happen.
Also remember as you move from scene to scene that the appearance becomes darker and darker. The characters are coming to a time when they must make a choice that will impact their lives. But don't make the scenes so dark there doesn't seem to be a way out. There always has to be a little way forward.
