Emily: My teeth clenched ,, my upper lip swollen horribly from the earlier punches in the start of the match ,, the two welts running down my face from the barrier fence smacks ,, numerous bruises on my cheeks and temples from our standing striking contest ,, and ugly purple marks on my abs and back from the chair shots. But nothing ,, nothing matches that gleam in my eyes from hearing your screams ,, feeling your helplessness. And why wouldn't I ,, when I'm not only hearing the cries leaving your lips ,, but traversing through our clenches flesh ,, muscle ,, and bone in this submission hold
But you don't give up immediately ,, unlike almost everyone else I put on this hold to feel their fingers tapping the floor of my back in a couple of seconds ,, you shake your head stubbornly ,, now that the ref in your face ,, and I grimace ,, my abs tightened ,, and I feel like a knife is driving through them from the tension ,, the hold has never lasted this long before ,, and I can feel the planking pain it causes to my very sore and abused core. I clench on my teeth ,, amazed by your endurance and will power. Curling my fingers and letting my nails bite into your bicep. Shaking my head furiously, and then. . . Finally you cry it out ,, your surrender
The Ref sitting up ,, shaking his hands ,, and I hear the bell ringing ,, announcing the end of the match. The crowd roaring ,, but I don't let go ,, instead I scream and shake my body ,, rocking back and forth on my butt ,, intensifying the hold ,, wanting to hear your screams a bit more ,, wanting to punish you so you don't ever feel like coming into this arena again. The ref reaching forwards to my warms and prying them off and I collapse to my back ,, blinking and moaning ,, feeling you slithering and rolling away ,, curling your arms inwards to soothe them ,, while the announcer jumps in the ring ~
"Laaaaaadiiieeesss and Gentlemen ,, your winner ,, and ~STIILLLLL~ the lightweight wrestling champion of the Globe ,, Emillyyyyyy Wishmaakkkeeerrrrr!!" ~ I roll to my knees ,, breathing hard ,, curled up ,, and unlike my other victories where I jump up to my feet and prance around ,, everyone can see that I'm hurt ,, very hurt ,, and I stumble up ,, leaning on the announcer's shoulder and I yank my belt ~MY~ belt off his hands ,, draping it on my shoulders ,, and I stumble to the corner ,, breathing hard ,, and resting my back on the middle buckle ,, staring at you,, brushing my pink tresses off my face
Rebecca: I lay there, on my back... chest heaving... eyes squeezed shut.... the announcer starts his speech and I couldn’t even slightly care less... the agony that RIPS through my body is now only slightly fading. My limbs flop weakly. My eyelids flutter. My thoughts drift around past... "Becca, you aren't good enough to front this league... I'm sorry, but it is better for you if you know the truth...
FUTURE: "THE Greatest challenge our champ has ever known!" and PRESENT "OMG THE PAIN THE PAIN THE PAIN THE PAIN THE HUMILATION I JUST GAVE I JUST TAPPED I JUST SUBMITTED IN FRONT OF THE MOST IMPORTANT PEOPLE IN THE WORLD!!"
My lips hang open as I stare up at the light above me... saliva dripping from my lips, my chest heaving my body tortured beyond my ability to endure....
But words that hang in my ears as I focus briefly: "Your winner... AND STILL CHAMPION! EMILY "THE BLONDE HURRICANE" WISHMAKER!!!"
Emily: I stand there ,, or whatever pathetic excuse for standing anyone would call this half slouched lean against the buckle. I keep eyeing you ,, watching you sob ,, rub your shoulders and arms. Flashbacks from the fight coming to my mind. Your baseball dive ,, kicking the chair into my face then using it against me. The battering outside the ring and inside it. And I turn my head to the side ,, and I see Espinoza standing there, a smug satisfied grin on his face ,, knowing he just put up the biggest match these folks have ever seen. But strangely enough ,, he's not looking at me ,, he's just staring at you
Why isn't there disappointment and disapproval in his eyes ?? Why ?? Fucking why ?? The thoughts rummage my head ,, and I watch him gesture for the announcer who walks to the ropes and passes him the microphone ~ And Espinoza's voice seeps through the speakers ~ "Ladies and gentlemen . . . As you have witnessed ,, today's match was not short on . . . Excitement ! ! !" And the crowd roars ! ! !
~ " Ring mastery and skill !! " ~ another approving roar ~
~ "Excellence ,, that only us can bring you ! ! " ~ an even louder roar ~
~ "But . . . it was not devoid of controversy !! " ~~ A mixed roar with boo's rise ,, that make my heart sink ,, watching you stir ,, and sit up against the ropes ~
~ "And as you know ,, we here ,, take our wrestling very seriously. And thus ,, after consulting with my colleagues ,, we have decided to . . . Have a rematch ! ! ! " ~ the crowd ROARS even higher ,, and my head shakes slowly right and left ~
~ "Right hereeeee ,, right nooooowwwwww!!!" My jaw drops ,, turning to you ,, seeing you risen to your knees ,, your blue eyes gazing at me ,, and I see the smirk on your face ,, the smile of someone who has nothing to lose ,, and everything to gain ,, including vengeance ~ ~ ~
