It's an odd thing to think about…the Heartless are obliterated by the Keyblade, sent spiraling into oblivion. And yet, they are drawn towards the weapon. They cannot resist its luster, although it costs them their 'lives'.
So why do they come, only to be killed?
I know. They want…they want—
Have you ever begged for forgiveness? Gotten down on your knees, clasped your hands in a prayer stance? Have your eyes ever fill with the tears at the horrible fear of blameworthiness? Have you ever said you'd do ANYHING to be forgiven?
Now consider Heartless.
They cannot pray for mercy. They cannot cry. All they can do is come to the source of their pain and hover about it. They cannot even beg!
What they want…need…is—
Now who becomes the monster? Is it the Heartless? Or our Keyblader of Light? Is Sora to blame? After all, the Heartless are far from innocent. But perhaps…don't they deserve vindication too? Even though their brethren are slaughtered before their dark encrusted eyes, they still come. They still tried. They still desired…
So why do they come?
So why do they even bother?
It's because…they want to be absolved.
They want to be Light too.

A drabble about Heartless, and why they come. But seriously, I always wondered why they were attracted to the source of their death. Very interesting…so this is my take on it! XD If you ask me, the Heartless are just a tad slooooow…
