Hikari (The Pack x Kingdom Hearts)

Darkness

"Even in the deepest darkness, there will always be a light to guide you. Believe in the light, and the darkness will never defeat you."

"Heads up!"

Rob flinched as he felt a thud against the tree he was leaning against, bits of snow going past his head. Smiling, he patted the snowball in his own hands, and jumped out from behind the tree, chucking his snowball as hard as he could at his assailant.

"Gah!"

Rob smiled as his snowball hit Preston square in the face, Preston stumbling back a bit in surprise. He raised an arm and brushed off the snow from his face with the sleeve of his black fire hoodie, shooting an angry glare at Lachlan, who suppressed a laugh.

Growling, Preston bent over and scooped up more snow from the ground, but before he could form it into a ball, another snowball smacked him in the back of his head, and Preston stumbled forward into the snow with a loud yelp.

From behind him, Jerome and Mitch, who had been hidden in the trees behind Preston, howled with laughter as Preston jumped to his feet.

"That's not fair!" Preston yelled angrily as he shook the snow from his hair. "Why are you guys just after me?!"

"Because you're out in the open!" Called Lachlan, who was behind a tree a few feet away from Rob, Vikk not far from him with a snowball in his hands.

Rob ducked behind his tree for cover as Vikk's snowball flew across his head, missing him and smacking into the tree next to him.

The Pack had come together in Canada for their yearly vacation, and were currently fully enjoying their vacation, having decided to take a break from vlogging and play around in a forest right behind the lodge that they were staying in. That had escalated into the snowball battle that they were currently in, as Jerome decided that it would be funny to randomly pelt a snowball at Rob's head. It had all spiraled downhill from there...

Rob was pulled out of his thoughts by a snowball collided with his arm, and he whipped around to see that Vikk was facing him, unsuccessfully trying to hide his giggles from him with an arm over his mouth. Rob scooped some snow into his hand and ran out from his cover, yelling "Come here you little jag!"

Vikk ducked as Rob's snowball flew by him, retreating back to his own cover. Rob heard Jerome and Mitch laughing again, and looked over to see that they had once again pelted Preston with snowballs, Preston covered again in snow.

Lachlan, having gone unnoticed, managed to catch Jerome and Mitch with his own snowballs, hitting Jerome's shoulder and Mitch's head.

Seeing that the others were distracted, Rob once again crouched to grab more snow, but as he grabbed it, he heard a loud gasp from behind him. Startled, Rob shot to his feet, whipping head around to see that the gasp had come from Preston, who was staring up at the sky with a look of mesmerized fear on his face, Mitch and Jerome with similar looks as well. Frowning, Rob looked up to see what was happening, only to hold in a gasp of his own as his eyes shot wide open.

There were was what seemed to be clouds of pitch black appearing in the sky, eating away at the light as they formed together and spread, the atmosphere growing darker as if it were turning to night. The darkness continued to spread until it completely covered the sky, swallowing the sunlight completely as the forest was cast into shade, the only remaining light coming from an ominous purple glow that now resided in the darkened sky, casting long and eerie shadows in the land below.

Shivers were sent down Rob's back as a sense of foreboding washed over him, and he quickly looked to his friends, only to see matching looks of terror on their faces.
