Author's Note: Just a little more than a drabble. I'm not really sure what's going on, but I'm putting it here because I was envisioning Cloud when I wrote it. It's going under KH because of the Underworld and the Heartless and whatnot.


You're such a pretty little thing, lost and alone in the shadows. Blue-eyes, blond hair, pale skin – everything about you glows. Like a lone firefly at night, you shine in the darkness; there's such pure, innocent light radiating about you.

But the light doesn't make the darkness go away; it only shows you that it's there. Like a moth to a flame, we will come, and we will smother you, devour you. There will be no innocence left, nothing but a flickering, dying flame that once shone brightly. We will ensnare you and we will leave you to die.

It's nothing personal, beautiful; it's simply our nature.

And if you're lucky, there's light just around the corner.
