Hello everyone! I am starting my first Deadman Wonderland story, so I hope you enjoy it!

Disclaimer: I do not own Deadman Wonderland.

. . .

I opened my eyes, and awoke from my nightmare-filled slumber.

Above me, I saw the black, dirty ceiling I've awoken to for the past four years. I slowly got off of my rusty bed that was chained to the wall, ignoring the pain in my back.

I smoothed out my blood-stained white dress and walked to my long mirror in the corner of my cell.

I looked at my reflection in the mirror. I had long, midnight black hair tied into a long side ponytail with my bangs covering my left eye, the tips of my bangs and hair dyed blood red, and one of my eyes being ocean blue, the other a deep shade of red.

I looked at my door and saw that the staff had left some food for me. Being in G-Block, the staff would leave food for me and the others here occasionally, since the only chance for us to get some Cast was the occasional Carnival Corpse, but hell, only the lucky ones survived that.

I've done a few Carnival Corpses, and I've won all of them. It's probably because of Ryuko.

Ryuko is the demon that's inside me. She's also the one that put me in this place. When there's a Carnival Corpse, she takes control of my body, and I think she's killed every person she's fought.

I've also been able to figure out when she takes control of me. When I'm in control, my right eye is ocean blue. However, when she is control, my right eye is the deep shade of red.

Ryuko is the only one I've been able to talk to since I've been here, but she's also the reason I can never see Yoh again...

Yoh...

"#3348!"

I was snapped out of my thoughts when I saw a guard looking down at me. He said, "You've got another Carnival Corpse. Come on."

He grabbed my arm and dragged me out of my cell.

It's time to shine, Reiko! I heard Ryuko say.

I know... I replied, before letting her take control.

. . .

I was able to see the Carnival Corpses that Ryuko participated in through my eyes, but she was the one in control.

This time, she was fighting a girl about my age: she had long, wavy brown hair, frightened green eyes, and was wearing the dark green jumpsuit that the inmates outside of G-Block wore.

"It's time for Carnival Corpseeeee!" The announcer yelled over the cheers of the crowd. He continued, "In this corner, we have the cute, shy Robin!"

The gate opened for the girl, and she nervously walked out. Ryuko smirked. This one will be easy. She said. I didn't respond.

"In this corner," The announcer went on, "we have the undefeated Bat!"

That's who Ryuko was. The Bat. I'm not even really sure if it's a bird, but she's probably as scary as a bat, most likely even more.

Ryuko's gate finally opened, and she walked out, cool and collected, keeping that same infamous smirk.

I sadly looked at Robin's frightened expression.

I'm sorry...

"Let Carnival Corpse begin!"

. . .

And that's the first chapter! I hope you guys liked it. This is actually my first try at a Deadman Wonderland story, so I hope I did okay! Sorry it's so short.

I know I didn't tell much about Reiko, but trust me, there's a lot more, and it's really depressing. Be prepared.

Anyway, see you guys next time!
