I began The Carousel Series nearly 20 years ago. "Manipulating Fate" is republished here in its original form, unchanged. That means you get to see all the mistakes; a lack of punctuation, bad grammar, and sorely needing an editor. The bones of the story are solid and I'm still immensely proud of what I created with this series. This was the first time I'd written a sequel, and although it's rough in places, I think it built quite well on its predecessor.
"Manipulating Fate" is the second story in "The Carousel Series". You need to read "To The Shock of Miss Louise" first, else wise you will be sorely confused.

Swan Song || The Lost Boys - & The One Who Found Them...
❝ I lost you in the silence, bleeding through the walls; a sorrow came that ceased to leave & took you from my arms... ❞ - Draconian, 'Dishearten' || A fanfiction based on the movie The Lost Boys 1987 x OC 🥀 || ❝ I urge you to be mindful with the choices you make & the risks you take. Be mindful how much trust you pour into the world & the people that roam it. You may believe in the good in every soul you encounter, but the sad truth is that not everyone has something good to offer... Many a kind smile hides a vicious heart ~ ❞ Faint beams of cold silvery light gave birth to one of the most bizarre scenes I had ever witnessed in my life & without a doubt would ever come to witness, the blood freezing in my veins when I saw the intruder's face for what it truly was: a distorted masquerade revealing human features as well as monstrous ones alike, bleeding an expression trapped between blind amusement & rampant wrath; embedded in it a pair of orange-red eyes, glowing like dying embers in the pool of darkness, & where once a careless smile had graced his young face I could now see two large fangs instead of regular human teeth, ready to grab & tear flesh from bone. It was in that moment that I snapped out of my trance-like state & managed to force myself out of the paralysis that had grabbed hold of my body; my survival instinct took over at last & I jumped up in my bed to back away from the man who turned out to be exactly what I thought he was: A vampire.

Once I got my new identity, I tried to start anew. Moving me to a new place was the best thing the police and Dr Matthews allowed me to do, but it still didn't stop this nudging feeling that kept coming over me. I don't know why, but for some reason, I could tell that my kidnapper (Mr Blue) was going to come back for me. --- On the two year anniversary since my abduction, the past comes back to haunt me.

His Secrets And Lies (Bwwm)
The banging starts again but this time a lot louder. I can hear the girls screaming up stairs. I pick up my phone and dial 911. "Hello this is 911 what's your emergency?" "There are a bunch of wolves outside my house. I think they have rabies or something I'm not sure." The banging gets louder and I can feel my face getting wet from the tears. "Mamm did you say wolves are there?" "Yes Yes there are wolves about 10 of them out here in my front yard. I need help!" I hang up the phone and sit on the end of the stair case. I close my eyes and start praying. Something I haven't done in a while. "I have faith, there is a god. I have faith, there is a god, I have faith, there is a god." I repeat over and over. The glass breaks and I start screaming. I stand up and try to scramble up the stairs. The door comes falling down and there are about 10 wolves standing in front of my door. A woman emerges and walks toward me. She snaps her fingers and the pretty brown wolf is in front of me. Right there by my face. "Ridanna you know what to do." Her teeth is wrapped around my neck and she sinks them in. I try to scream but it's hard to. At first it hurts but now the pain no longer exists. I feel like there is no such thing as pain and I feel light as if I can float off the Earth. Fine as hell white boy with a pro-black activist fall for each other.

Pretty When I Bleed: A 1987 Lost Boys Fanfiction
FINISHED AND COMPLEATED She swore it would never happen again. But monsters don't care about promises. He's cold, cruel, and impossibly beautiful. A twisted blend of tenderness and torment. One moment, he's biting her lip and calling her his canvas. The next, he's running her a bath with rose petals and chocolate. She hates him. She aches for him. And she can't stop going back. This isn't love. It's obsession. It's bruises hidden under bunny-hoodie sleeves. It's blood in the bathwater and whispers in the dark. He's not human-and maybe she isn't either anymore.
