This is my contribution to this week’s Monday’s Finish the Story, brought to us by Barbara Beacham. Thanks Barbara for another great prompt!
Finish the story starts with: “The team employed the use of Nightshade to get the information they wanted from their captive.”
Their captive sat staring at the floor with unseeing eyes. Robbie turned to his audience. “See boys? This is how we do business in the Nightshade Clan. Total submission, and without a drop of blood being spilt.”
He slowly circled his prize, careful to let the echo of each step beat into the room before following with the next. “This is why we are the most evolved of the Clans. Because we have moved beyond the need for baseless violence.” He waited for the murmurs of approval to die out before continuing.
“The Roses, they like to stab with their thorns. And the Iris’s..” He rubbed the scar which marred length of his arm. “The Irises, now they like to work slowly.”
He stopped in front of the chair and grabbed a handful of hair, snapping the head back to stare into a pair of cloudy white eyes. “And we will afford them the same courtesy.”

I think I’d rather just have a quick and violent end. It’s a horrible thought, being drugged and helpless while the Nightshade Clan do their worst. Great story!

Thankyou! there’s no specific story, but there’s no harm in practicing a ‘gratuitous violence’ scene once in a while, is there? 🙂

Ooh, I like the way you’ve written this. Total submission without bloodshed sounds very sinister and quite frightening. Poisons – and drugs like nightshade – are dangerous things, especially in the wrong hands! Well done, Az. 🙂
