The following is an extract from my full sized ebook-- Scratch Marks by Hazel George -- which is now available on Kindle.
Things started off in the normal fashion and both of the girls seemed keen to put up a good show. They went for each other’s hair from the outset and they used the wall for support as the early part of the fight was a hair tugging match with just a hint of knees being used. Ellie called for the girls to be careful with their knees and no one gave it another thought as a raised knee is often used as an effective defensive move. What you are not allowed to do in the fights at UKFIGHTGIRLS is use your knees in an aggressive fashion such as trying to knee each other in the stomach but it soon became apparent that Nancy thought otherwise and she repeatedly tried the illegal move. Finally losing her patience Ellie again called out for Nancy to stop using her knees and the fight continued in a normal fashion until Nancy herself began to complain about the other girl.
‘Leave my face alone you fucking bitch.’ She called out as she sent a wild knee aimed at Pearl’s tummy.
‘Stop fucking using your knees on me, you fucking cxnt.’ Pearl screamed back at her as the pair ripped at each other’s hair, still in the standing position. Things were turning ugly very quickly as both of the women began screaming that the other one was cheating. I saw Pearl rake her fingers down Nancy’s face but luckily her nails were too short to do any damage, but the intent had clearly been there. And for her part Nancy now kicked Pearl in the stomach while she tried to swing her elbow into the other woman’s face. The fight had only been going for about two minutes but Ellie had no alternative but to call for the end of the round and even then the girls would not let go of each other. Ellie had to step onto the foam area and pull the women off of each other, all the while Pam was there filming the mayhem with a big grin on her face.
Pearl stormed away from us and Jane followed her to the loo to try and calm her down while Ellie read Nancy the riot act. When Pearl returned everything was far from normal as the women now stood toe to toe shouting the odds at each other and accusing each other of being a cheating bitch. Tempers were obviously much frayed and it took a little while before Ellie had the pair of fighters calmed down enough so that she could speak to them. For her part Pam had continued to film the verbal altercation and I knew there and then that it would be a part of the finished product.
‘Calm down and fight by the rules or we won’t pay you.’ Ellie said to the two women who were looking daggers at each other again. ‘You have to keep to the rules or this just won’t work, do you both understand?’
They both tried to protest their innocence but Ellie was having none of it. She once again told the girls in no uncertain terms that they needed to behave, ‘or else.’ Calm seemed to have descended on the scene once again but we were now all standing as close to the fighting area as we could just in case any help was needed but more importantly, of course, we were there so that we could get a better look at the fun and games that we all hoped would kick off again.
‘This is fucking brilliant isn’t it?’ Jane whispered to me and I giggled back at her as I nodded my agreement. We were like a circle of kids getting ready to watch a playground fight and it wasn’t too long before the sparks started to fly again.
‘Right you two let’s try this again shall we? You both know the rules and you both know that they are there to protect you so fucking well behave this time. Just shut it.’ She said to Pearl who had once again started to protest her innocence. ‘OK then ladies once more if you please .......BEGIN!’
They were both a little more cautious as the second round started and they kept their distance from each other preferring to try and land some slaps on each other rather than mix it up as before. This actually seemed to be working and the fight developed normally as both women hit out at each other while trying their best to defend themselves. There was most definitely malice between them now but for a while it actually seemed that they would manage to keep the fighting hard but within the framework of the rules. It all started to go tits up again when they both grabbed at each other’s hair and their bodies were once again slammed together. Initially the fight was in the standing position and they were tightly wedged into the corner of the room for a while but that all changed when Nancy began to scream out that Pearl was scratching the back of her neck. In her defence I think that she may actually have had a point as I could see that Pearl did indeed have one of her hands clasping the back of Nancy’s neck but the point was moot as the conflict once again degenerated into a kind of gutter fight.
When the girls hit the floor together they were a mass of tangled arms and kicking legs. They swore and screamed as they both tried to claw and gouge each other on the face and neck and tits. When Nancy had one of her hands firmly clasping Pearl by the throat the choking young lady smashed her fist into the side of Nancy’s unprotected head. Ellie dashed forward at this unacceptable escalation of violence and she looked over to us as she pleaded for some help. Jane, little cow that she is, was laughing out loud by this point and I had to dig her in the ribs to get her to stop and join me in helping Ellie. We tried to separate the writhing mass of womanhood that this contest had degenerated into but it was not easy to achieve. Trying to separate two women who are hell bent on continuing the fight is difficult and dangerous work. Neither of them would let go of the grip that they had on each other’s hair and while we tried to prise their fingers apart they still kept on kicking out at each other. One of the kicks, I don’t know who from, connected with my thigh and that was when I got a bit pissed off by the whole situation. Not caring anymore how much of the girls hair was pulled out we heaved at their bodies and dragged them away from each other.
Once we had them far enough apart so that they could no longer reach each other with their feet things started to gradually calm down. There was a whole lot of finger pointing and threats of renewed violence but by this time it was mostly bravado. Ellie had pushed Nancy away and she was now trying her best to calm her down while Jane and I were doing the same for Pearl. Steve just stood by like a spare prick at a wedding and Pam kept the camera rolling but the situation now appeared to be under control and luckily, no real harm seemed to have been done to either protagonist. We escorted Pearl over to where her clothes were and she quickly dressed herself; Pam had by now stopped filming but I think that she was more than happy with the footage that she had captured and she clearly felt that it was now down to Ellie to sort the whole mess out for her. While she was with us Pearl kept up a stream of expletives concerning Nancy and her behaviour and we learned later from Ellie that Nancy had been no different with her. Gradually both women calmed down to the point where we didn’t seem to have to stand between them anymore.
After a while Pearl surprised everyone there by walking over to Nancy and holding out her hand to shake. Nancy took the offered hand but I don’t think that she was in a very forgiving mood but the gesture had been given and accepted. When both of the girls said that they were sorry that things had gotten so out of hand Ellie accepted what they said on face value and the matter seemed to be at an and both women gratefully accepted their full appearance fees.
When Pearl said that she was off to the loo Jane and I agreed that it was a fine idea and the three of us strode off to powder our noses together. The ladies toilet at the studio had two stalls and there was a sink unit and hand towel on a rail. It was a surprisingly large loo and to the side of where the stalls were there was a good space for storage and at that time this was around half filled with supplies such as spare loo rolls and cleaning equipment as well as a few empty boxes that no one seemed to be bothered about throwing out. While Jane and Pearl occupied the two stalls (neither girl shutting the door) the conversation between us naturally centred on what had just happened. Jane could not stop herself from laughing out loud again as she tried and failed to sound serious with Pearl. I must admit that, now that things had calmed down, I too began to see the funny side of things and Even Pearl had a chuckle with us. When the two of them had finished I took my turn on the loo and, although I absolutely hate to do it, I too kept the door open as we chatted. When I stood up and pulled my jeans back on I heard the main door to the toilet open and I heard Nancy’s voice.
As I went to the sink Nancy was just saying that she was very embarrassed by what had happened and that she had never lost her temper like that before.
‘Not to worry, these things happen eh?’ Pearl said, ‘no real harm done, just handbags at dawn really.’
Nancy walked a little further in until she was just a couple of feet away from Pearl. ‘I know there was no harm done and I really am thankful for that, I thought that I might hurt you quite badly back there.’
‘Well you didn’t so there we are. We were both a bit too hot headed and we shouldn’t have let things go that far but I think that Pam is happy with what she has on camera. I’m glad that one of us is happy anyway.’ Pearl said as she leaned back against the sink. Nothing was said for a few seconds and Jane and I both felt that there was still an atmosphere between the two of them and so I decided that it was probably for the best if we left the confined space of the loo and went back to the hall.
Just as I had reached out and taken a hold on the door handle Nancy decided that she still had something else to say on the causes of the fracas ‘If only you hadn’t started cheating then none of that need have happened.’
‘Oh fuck.’ I thought to myself as I let go of the door handle. Pearl lost no time in squaring up to the other woman and with her finger practically pocking Nancy in the eye she went into a tirade about how it was not her that had started cheating at all.
‘You know that you started it Nancy so why not just fuck off out of here and go home before I lose my temper for real.’
‘Don’t threaten me you skinny little shit.’ Nancy spat as she shoved Pearl on the shoulder.
‘Enough already.’ I said as I stepped between them. I held my hands up to show Nancy that I would stop her if she tried anything and I heard Jane tell Pearl to lay off and leave.
‘OK, I’m out of here.’ Pearl said as she turned to open the door. ‘It fucking smells in here anyway what with that cheating cxnt stinking the place up.’ I had stupidly moved away from Nancy so that I was standing next to Jane. There was now nothing and no one between the two of them. Pearl had her back turned but that didn’t deter Nancy one little bit. She had balled her hand into a fist when Pearl had called her a cxnt and now she swung her right arm around in a classic hay bailer which connected with the side of Pearls head making an audible thud. The force and the surprise of the blow knocked Pearl sideways causing her to hit the wall with her right shoulder. Reacting with lightning speed the slimmer girl spun around and threw a retaliatory punch of her own which slammed directly into Nancy’s face. I moved as if to get between the girls but Jane placed a restraining hand on my elbow.
‘Give them a minute Harriet.’ Jane said eagerly, she was very keen to watch how things panned out and I decided that I might as well go along too, what the hell, let them fight, at least for a little while.
There were no insults between the girls now in fact they did not speak at all as they stood toe to toe trading punches with each other. Many of the punches thrown missed their mark or were blocked but a few hit right where they had been aimed and the soft thud of fist smacking into flesh provided the soundtrack to the renewed fighting. The girls had moved slightly apart and they attempted to alternate punches and kicks as they staggered around the toilet. Coming together by the side of the toilet stalls Pearl put her arm around the back of Nancy’s neck forcing the older woman down slightly. Not to be outdone Nancy followed suit and in a double headlock the women punched up into each other’s faces and tits, some solid punches were getting through to both women and they grunted with pain and effort. The renewed fight had only been going for a brief period when they fell to the floor in a heap among the empty boxes and assorted rubbish where they tried to maul and tear into each other, still punching and kicking wildly.
‘Enough I think.’ I said to Jane as I made my way to the door with my eyes riveted on the fighting girls.
‘Aw .....must you?’ Jane said with a pretend pout on her face. ‘This is great stuff, much better than a lot of the fights I’ve seen here.’
In a way I agreed with her, I was enjoying watching the brutality of this fight but I felt that it had to be stopped before someone was seriously hurt. I opened the door to the hall and stuck my head out. ‘Ellie honey, a little help here please and be quick about it.’ I let the door shut after I was sure that Ellie had registered the seriousness of my request. I just had time to watch Nancy trying to knee Pearl in face as the girls continued to fight on the floor when Ellie walked in.
‘Holy fucking shit! What the fuck happened here?’ Jane and I both shrugged at her and held our hands up, not our fault lady the gesture said. Meanwhile, back on the floor, Pearl had a hold of Nancy’s hair with her left hand while she repeatedly punched her with the right. These punches were slamming into Nancy’s face and the look on Pearl’s face showed that she had every intention of wrecking the visage of the woman that she was fighting.
‘Here we go again.’ Clearly exasperated with the situation Ellie asked us for assistance, ‘come on you two for fucks sake help me here.’ We managed to get the women apart more quickly than the last time as we were a hell of a lot rougher with them. We hauled them to their feet and shoved them apart. Before they knew what was happening Ellie and Jane had shoved Nancy out of the toilet into the hall while I stayed inside with Pearl. Steve was by this time with me, and bless him, he had once again missed a spontaneous Catfight and he looked totally bereft as he learned what had happened. We restrained our charge until Ellie came back to tell us that Jane had taken Nancy to the station. With the threat of a renewal of the fight removed we all went back to the hall where Pam hadn’t moved at all. She didn’t seem the least bit interested in the fact that two of her girls could have really hurt each other in a fight that was completely without rules. It was only luck that kept both girls free of injury or there could well have been legal ramifications from one or both of them. When she had calmed down Pearl was once again most apologetic to all of us. She was happy to stay behind for a while as she had to walk to the studio from her home a short distance away. With her face reddened by the punches that she had taken she looked to be quite the scrapper and her spirits were still surprisingly high.
‘Do I get extra pay for fisticuffs or what?’
‘Fuck off you cheeky cow.’ Ellie laughed, ‘You’re lucky that you got any pay at all after that little exhibition, just get the fuck home before she comes back with a weapon.’
‘Will do and I can’t wait for my next visit, this is fun.’ She said causing us all to have a laugh with her. True to her word, over the following few months Pearl made a total of three visits to the studio. She won two of her fights but lost the last one after four rounds of hard slogging against a much heavier girl. She behaved impeccably during her contests and she was becoming an asset to the studio before falling pregnant and having to stop fighting completely. Ellie told us some time later that she had received a couple of angry text messages from Nancy but that was the only contact that she had with her and she was never seen or heard from by any of us again.
