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.

His Secrets And Lies (Bwwm)

"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.

The boys glanced between themselves, and I held my necklace tightly. "What do you mean?" Marko asked. I stared down at my soup thinking to myself that if I stared hard enough, maybe the bowl would break and I could escape. I didn't even want to hear what she had to say. "She's just a bit strange, is all. I mean, burning down your childhood home would count as strange, right?" I stopped breathing altogether. It was deadly silent, but Dwayne tapped my foot with his again.

Indecisive (COMPLETED)
After my escape, and yet another but brutal last year at the same high school, my school sent me their condolences and made sure to inform my future college of my past.

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. The only thing that's changed is that I'm not the only one on his Hit List. My friends are too. I was finally happy after what happened to me during my junior year of high school.
