Chapter 1: Captivity
Disclaimer: I don't own Deadman Wonderland! If I did I would be the happiest person in the whole world... well less then happy if I owned BLEACH... but if I owned both I'd be so happy, much more happy then just one ... oh well! READ ON PEOPLE!
My life, it changed so fast within a single day. I am, no wait, I was Ume Takashito also know as the popular girl of the local highschool. The girl with long black hair, glowing light gray eyes, and two red streaks that framed her face. The Ume Takashito you once knew, is now gone and has tranformed into an inmate at the infamous prison/amusement park called Deadman Wonderland. How did I get here? They all say that it was a planned thing, that how I used to be, was all an act to hide the monster inside. But that wasn't true at all.
I was working at the local grocery store, restocking the shelves and whatnot. The store owner, who was a friend of my dads, had agreed to let me work part time since my dad wouldn't lend me the money to buy my best friend Mami a birthday present. This year I wanted to get her something she wouldn't expect, like a new charm for her silver bracelet or maybe that really nice dress she wanted but couldn't afford.
Smiling as I turned around, I gazed out the store window at the people on the streets. However, the smile I wore was wiped off my face when I saw Mami's boyfriend Yuuki, and he was with another girl. By with I mean with, as in they were making out right in front of the store his hands were all over her, it made me sick to my stomach. Walking out of the store, I decided to confront the girl and Yuuki. Tapping on his shoulder and clearing my throat, he looked up at me angrily at first but then a little worried.
" Ummm... " he started, but before he could say anything the girl glared at me.
" What do you want? " she said with a silver tougue.
Ignoring her I asked Yuuki, " What do you think your doing? Have you even concidered how Ma-" but I was cut off by the girl slapping me.
" You don't ignore me girl! Now if you don't want anything, leave we are busy. " she said pulling Yuuki towards her.
Mami had always said I had a bad temper, but I think this called for it. So I punched the girl in the nose as hard as I could. Technically, it was self defence, she hit me first. Her nose gushed blood onto the sidewalk as her eyes flared with rage. Yuuki just stood there, not knowing if he should be concerned for the girl or scared of her.
" Kira... " Yuuki said hesitantly.
Her name is Kira, good to know when I text Mami about this later. Kira stood up abruptly and glared daggers at me.
" Did I ruin your pretty face? " I said sarcastically while also smiling innocently.
Too bad my innocent act didn't make her laugh, 'cause instead I got punched back in the same place I did her. My face soon was the complete reflection of hers as my nose bled. I put my hand to my nose, took it away, and looked at the warm blood that was currently staining my fingers. That's when everything blurred, and adrenaline blinded me as well as my senses.
When I could think clearly I opened my eyes and screamed. Limbs and bodies we scattered all around me, people stared in horror at the masacre. Looking down at my clothes I was soaked in blood that was, from the look of things, not mine. The police came later and took me into custody. My one phone call was to Mami, I explained the whole thing to her. She didn't cry though, just silently hung up, leaving the dial-tone to buzz in my ear.
I sat in that cell for awhile, I didn't sleep at all for fear that I might wake up not knowing what's going on in the world. I'd rather see all of it as my personal hell unfolded. The next day they took me to court, I denied nothing and kept a stone face until images of me were put in my face. They looked nothing like me it was as if I was a different person, especially the red claws I saw upon my hands that tore through the people I slaughtered.
As I was ushered out, shock was the only emotion my face held, a familiar voice peirced the veil and tore it off clearing my vision.
" Ume!" the familiar voice called, who was that, I wondered turning my head.
Mami! That voice belonged to Mami, she was calling my name as tears fell from her emerald eyes.I smiled at her, as an effort to show her I would be fine. But was surprised when she threw something at me that shined and glittered in the light. Luckily, I caught and hid it before the gaurds noticed.
The men transported me in the back of a heavily armored truck, I didn't see the reason why though at the time. I was alone back there though, so I took the item out of my pocket and gasped. I was a charm bracelet, with only one charm. A locket, inside of it was a picture of the two of us.
Suddenly the truck came to a hault and I was escorted to a building inside Deadman Wonderland, a place they called G-block. They let me out of my shackles and left me in a room by myself. That's where I'm telling this from anyway, right now, inside of a cell. It had everything I needed though, bathroom, bed, and a television.
Today is my first day here, and what I just explained to you, that's what I've been relaying inside my head for the past half hour. The door to my cell, that I shall now refer to as my room because I can go in and out as I please, and a scrawny looking guy with glasses came in.
" Hello , my new little bird how are you enjoying Wonderland? " he said a little too happily.
I decided not to give him the pleasure of a reaction from me, so I rolled onto my side facing away from him.
" Aww my poor little bird. " the man said.
If he hasn't realised it yet, he is majorly annoying. Eventualy he left, after explaining to me all the rules of this place then finished by throwing a catalog on my bed. I decided to lay there for awhile, making sure he was gone before going outside myself. My door slid open in front of me, and I poked my head out to look around. I saw there wasn't anyone to the left, but sadly there was a guy standing there to the right. Stepping outside, my door shut and I stared at the guy. He was muscular looking, had darkish skin, jet black short hair, tall, and had an eyepatch over one eye. Lifting a brow at him, he smirked and leaned against the wall.
" Who are you? " I said rudely, not caring how I came off anymore. He laughed and his grin widened.
" Hello to you too, I like your attitude. " said the still unnamed guy.
" Answer the question! " I glared.
" Crow, " he said, " I see you've met Tamaki from that expression. "
So that was the scrawny guys name, huh.
" I'm Ume, now buzz off. " Might as well be mean, I need to keep my gaurd for this twisted looking place.
Crow laugh and said, " Sorry kid but I'll call you Vulture until you prove yourself here."
What on earth did he mean by that? And what was with the nickname.
" Whatever, " I smiled " but please don't call me kid. "
He laughed again, " Wow you are feisty to a point. I guess you'll survive here. " he said walking away.
What the hell was with him? Oh, well I don't care anyway, I thought keeping a brave face until my door shut. Then I let my mind wonder and expression soften as I looked through the catalog. I was tired after that and skipped getting food to go to bed. The last thought I had that night though was: I hope this is a nightmare.
