Melo: This chapter is in Demyx's P.O.V. after you've left. So yeah, I know that it's not in your P.O.V. but the next chapter will be, I promise.

Beyond the Grave

(Demyx's P.O.V.)

I sighed. How could this have happened? This was totally getting out of hand and it just started! How could one girl do this? I guess this is just part of my stupid, normal self… bringing a somebody here… what was I thinking?? She could've gotten hurt, or killed, or worse…turned into a dusk.

Sighing once more, I sat up from the bed that she once laid on. She was gorgeous, angelic even and here I was, the beast in the night, stalking her, wanting her. But I can't reveal my feelings….I don't even really have feelings. They're fake like the carbon copy I am. But what am I supposed to do? If this really is a feeling…a feeling from a heart…does that mean I still have one?

I placed my hand on my chest, begging for a heartbeat to be there. Alas, nothing. I sighed and withdrew my hand, wanting to cry, wanting to scream. Is it really this simple to fall in love? I've been here for I don't know how many years… and to top it off, I've never sensed so much energy coming from a human. Maybe it is that thing called "love". Vexen has stated I don't know how many times that we cannot have feelings, and apparently it was scientifically proven, but hey, scientists have been wrong before.

Sitting up from the bed I scratched the back of my head. This was far to confusing for me. Before I could grab my sitar and head for the beach, which is what I do if I'm feeling confused or left out or something, there was a knock at the door. If I had a heart, I know it would've skipped a beat or stopped. My first thought was that the superior had found out and I was done for. To my relief though, it was just Axel and Roxas. Both were dressed in a t-shirt and jeans with grins on their faces.

"Demyx, where do you think you're going??" Axel practically shouted for the whole castle to hear. I knew what they wanted. They wanted me to go to that town with them. Which, of course I really wanted to. I could see my angel again. But, it would be too risky.

Axel play-punched me in the arm and his grin became a beam, "C'mon dude, let's go! The town is waiting!!"

I shrugged, "No thanks, Axel. I'd rather be alone right now."

Axel gave me that confused puppy dog look, "But why?! You love going to the town! Did Xemnas or somebody say something to you?"

Again, I shrugged, "No, nobody said anything. I just don't feel like going."

Roxas, who was currently eating sea-salt ice cream, looked at me funny, "Is it because that girl hasn't said anything to you yet?"

I froze. That girl? She was just a girl, she was the girl! And to top it off, she was here, in this castle, with me!

Axel grinned again, "I think you hit the nail on the head Roxy old pal."

I could see Roxas scowl, "Don't call me Roxy."

Axel laughed, "Well whatever. Go ahead and do what you want Demyx. But you'll be missing out on all of the fun!"

They left. Thank goodness. It was driving me insane not to be alone. I wanted to just leave for a week and never see anything but the wide open space of the deep blue sea. To swim around with the merpeople, because that was always fun. They accepted me. So why should I care about some two-legged female somebody? Why should I? Well…that's probably because…whether I liked it or not, I was in love. Nothing was going to stop that and I was going to prove to the rest of the nobodies…that we do have emotions and that we do exist, that we're not a mistake. I was going to prove this…I was going to win her heart…if only I could find mine.
