Venom was with Pandora, now Razor, Nightmare, and Ignite. The four cats were patrolling the border, re-marking the scent markers between them and RevengeClan. Suddenly, Nightmare heard something as well as scented something. "Venom. I scent GlowClan." He hissed, his scarred black pelt fluffing up angrily.
Venom's bright green eyes glowed with hatred. "Ignite and I will check it out. Razor, Nightmare, stay here." He growled, padding towards the scent.
"What's wrong with it? He meowed. "Did I break it?" Every time he uttered something or even tried to move his mouth, his jaw exploded in a fiery pain. His ears twitched slightly, and he sat down in the middle of the den, looking at Breezewing questioningly.
Venom's eyes glowed with interest, looking haunting in the dank light of the alleyway. The large tom crept forward with a sadistic grin on his face, flicking his tail to tell Ignite to stay back. The dark brown tabby suddenly sped forward with an incredible amount of speed and tackled the GlowClanner, his large paw pressed against her throat. "You're trespassing, sweetheart. Explain why you're here, or you're dead!" He hissed, his venomous fangs baring.
Hawk and Drogan raced across the thunderpaths excitedly. They were almost home! Hawk smiled happily and began running even faster, glancing towards her mate with a mischievous gleam in her eye.
"Pain is the mark of a weak mind." He meowed. "I'm fine." The sandy brown tom remembered his father's teachings well. How could he not? When he and his siblings were younger, they all lived in PersiaClan with their father, Twistedstar, as leader. Their father was evil and ruthless, and taught his kits to be the same way. Echokit and Lamentkit had embraced it, but Sandkit and Frostkit had not. In the end, Frostkit had died at her father's claws and Sandkit would have too, if it hadn't been for Lamentkit, who took a severe beating for it. Twistedstar left Lamentkit for dead, but a kind Hopedash, the medicine cat, had nursed the little kit back to health.
Sandstar sighed at this sad memory, sending another shot of pain through his entire face. He hid the pain well though, his face looking like an emotionless mask.
Venom looked down at the she-cat, interest sparking in his green eyes. "You are willing to betray your clan of birth and join their enemies?" He asked, loosening his hold on her slightly. The broad-shouldered tom could smell her fear, and that earned her a deep chuckle from him. It was good that she was afraid. If she wasn't, Venom would have killed her by now.
Razor sat down, looking at Nightmare and rolling her eyes. "Now what? We can't finish the patrol or Venom will get angry." She meowed roughly, curling her tail around her paws.
An insane smiled curved the corners of Venom's mouth upwards, his eyes sining wildly. "Good." He growled. "Are their any other cats in your clan that would be willing to...defect?" He asked, curiousity tingeing his voice.
Venom blinked slowly, studying the she-cat. She looked young. The perfect age to break one's sanity. "Welcome to DarkClan." He meowed, sinking his ebony claws into her shoulder and clawing downward, creating four long gashes down her side and climbing off of her, his green eyes glowing madly. He waited to see how she would react.

OOC- I don't draw them, no. I do lineart. And yes, I take requests. ;) I didn't do this particular piece, a friend of mine did.
IC- Venom frowned. He had hoped for a better reaction than that. "Attack me." He growled, his black claws scraping the cement ground. He bared his teeth, the venom dripping from his canines.
OOC- XDDD
IC- Venom laughed as the smoky black she-cat slammed her paws into his chest, then tried to trip him. The sturdy dark-colored tom barely moved. Suddenly, Venom lashed out, clawing at her chest. He shoved her over and pinned her again, a smirk on his face. "Why didn't you use your claws, dear?" He meowed, amusement present in his bright green eyes.
Brindleclaw smiled warmly at Flower, his tail swishing. "Congratulations!" He meowed. His bright amber eyes blinked slowly, and he sat back down outside the prisoner's cave. "Cinderflame? Could you bring the prisoners and I some prey later?"
Cinderflame nodded tersly, leading Flower to the nursery.
Blizzardpaw screamed again, tears welling in his eyes. "My shoulder!" He yelled.
Venom looked at the smoky she cat, his green eyes blazing. Blood dripped from his muzzle, and he licked his chops clean. He scraped his claws against the ground and growled. "Oh yes, I'm very happy." Venom relaxed and flicked his tail, signaling for her to follow him. He began padding back towards Ignite. "What's your name?" Venom asked, sounding twenty times kinder than before.
"First thing's first: No clan cat names." He spat out the word 'clan cat'. "You will now be called Twister." He meowed, softer. Venom padded back to the border patrol, explaining the clan to Twister.
Nightmare flicked his ears, hearing Venom speaking. To Ignite, he assumed. The skinny black tom was in for a surprise when he saw Twister, battered and bloody. His ice blue eyes narrowed slightly, confused at why Venom hadn't killed the she-cat.
Sandstar nodded, his green eyes looking down sadly. He hadn't meant to disappoint Breezewing, who he had trusted for a very long time. He sighed and looked back up at the medicine cat. "I'm sorry." He meowed, pain evident in his meow. "What do you think I should do?"
Blizzardpaw had passed out about halfway into camp, the pain being too much for him.
Cinderflame set down the kit, nodding her head towards Flower and padding back out towards the fresh-kill pile to get prey for the prisoners.
Nightmare was slightly intrigued by the she-cat, but still sent a glare her way. "Nightmare." He meowed, lashing his thin black tail.
Razor stared at the she-cat angrily, wrinkling her nose. "The name's Razor." She growled, showing off her white claws by scraping them across the pavement. The fur over Razor's left eye was missing, and it gave her a freakish appearance.
Venom nodded slightly. "All right. Nightmare, come with Twister and I. Razor and Ignite, finish the patrol and remark the border." He ordered, beginning to pad away with Nightmare on his heels.
Sandstar lifted his eyebrows in surprise. "I was talking about my jaw." He meowed, confused at her words. Though she did make sense in what she was saying. "And yes, if you can."
Venom and Nightmare led the smoky black she-cat to camp, chatting quietly enough that Twister couldn't hear. "Do you think she'll ever break?" Nightmare asked, glancing back towards Twister. Venom nodded, smirking. "She's already cracking up. All she needs is a little...push." He chuckled. "That'll be our job. I have an idea."
Razor:

Sandstar yowled in pain at his jaw being shoved back into place. He knew she was trying to be as gentle as possible, but Sandstar was still in agony at the intense pain in his jaw.
OOC- Low muse for Sandy :P
"That is where we keep prisoners." Venom meowed, looking back at Twister.
"If we don't kill them first!" Nightmare sneered. The two DarkClanner burst into fits of insane laughter, almost falling over because they were laughing so hard. Suddenly, Venom cleared his throat and nudged Nightmare, making him stop his laughter. "Sorry. We've been clanmates since kithood." Venom apologized. "Come one, this is where the warriors sleep. He gestured to a small area with multiple mouse bones and such strewn everywhere.
"There isn't any room left there, thanks to Malum and Jade." Nightmare commented, pointing at the two lynxes with his tail.
OOC- Sorry. It's sorta contagious. *sneeze*
IC- Sandstar groaned in agony, standing up with wobbly legs. "Holy StarClan." He murmured, looking at Breezewing carefully. When had she become so pretty? He thought to himself, then shook his head quickly, looking back down at the ground. "Thank you, Breezewing." He meowed roughly. He felt numb and very tired, probably from the cactus seeds he had eaten. Sandstar stumbled slightly, his eyes widening slightly.
