Caroline vs Maddie: Scream Match!

Caroline didn't shift her focus when Maddie let out a small squeal, knowing that it wouldn't be enough to earn her victory. She had to bite her lip to suppress a cry of satisfaction herself, so excited to finally have a chance to take the fight back to Maddie after being dominated by the cute Californian for what had felt like a long time to her aching back!

How exactly could she make Maddie scream in this position, though? She had her legs wrapped around the tomboy's neck, and she couldn't crank the hold at all without silencing her cries! Maybe she could exert minimal pressure to hold Maddie in place, but she needed to do something else completely to actually hurt her. Fortunately, she did have one of Maddie's arms to work with, the one that she had tucked against her own chest.

Holding Maddie's arm at the wrist with one hand, Caroline used her other to pry open the closed fist that her opponent may have had. Gripping Maddie's fingers tightly, all except the thumb, Caroline started twisting, rotating Maddie's wrist further than it was supposed to. Even her fingers weren't safe with Caroline gripping them so tightly, hurting her whole hand unless Maddie screamed loudly enough to stop it!

Maddie's mind was going through the same thought process as Caroline: okay, this was bad, but it was not that bad. She still had more energy than Caroline did, and more willpower to resist the urge to scream if she did end up in pain. From this position, she would be forced to groan more than scream, and if she did end up shrieking and crying out the sound would be muffled by the canvas or Caroline's butt.

Caroline decided to use a different, non-squeezing tactic to try to make Maddie scream, and the Californian had to admit that it was a good one. She grabbed onto Maddie's arm, prying open her fingers, and then, using both of those hands for fine control of the maneuver, began to twist Maddie's wrist too far, and squeeze Maddie's fingers! "Oh, no, no no no!" Maddie yelped, as the joint tightened, then all of a sudden began to burn, the over-rotation quickly having the desired effect as Maddie let out a piercing scream. "Aaahhh!!"

She pounded her free fist on the canvas, in a show of agony, but not submission. The referee got up close to check if Maddie was okay, then turned to Caroline and shook her head. Loud—but still not loud enough!

Noting the referee's gesture out of the corner of her eye, Caroline exhaled and gave Maddie a displeased look. It seemed like she had Maddie in the bag here, trapped in a painful hold that she wasn't having much luck freeing herself from. Despite the bind she was in, however, the stubborn competitor just wasn't hollering at the volume Caroline needed. The pain alone wasn't enough, but submissions weren't effective simply for the discomfort they caused. Their greatest power came from the threat of injury, and if Maddie wouldn't concede, that threat needed to be clearer.

Staring down at Maddie's hand with grim determination, Caroline shifted her grip, holding the wrist tight with one hand while the other went to grab Maddie's index finger. Slowly, she began to bend Maddie's finger back in an unnatural direction, holding her hand firm to stop her from adjusting the position of her hand to compensate. Finger bones were probably the easiest bones to break, in Caroline's estimation, though the injuries were never too serious. Still, the ultimatum was obvious; scream to end the match, or risk a fracture.

“C-come on, Maddie. Scream. I've got you,” Caroline stated plainly, her eyes pleading as she steadily folded that finger back, yanking it to the breaking point. She didn't feel good about this. Was it too dirty, going after her fingers like this? At best, it felt mean-spirited, but this was the sport, and there was no room for either of them to pull their punches. She had learned as much from a woman that had taken more punishment in her career than Caroline and Maddie combined.

Maddie was in an absolutely awful spot here. The threat of injury was very real right now, and Caroline obviously knew it, as she focused in on that index finger, bending it back, further and further and further. It didn't seem like she was bluffing right now. It seemed like she would actually snap Maddie's finger off if the Cali girl didn't submit!

"Oooh, fuck! F-fuck! FUCK! S-s-stop it!!!" she shrieked, unable to contain herself as she got louder and louder. The referee checked the sound levels again. She was screaming at 85 dB, very nearly loud enough to end this match, and she couldn't seem to control it! Having her fingers right at the verge of shattering did that to a girl.

Maddie knew she was going to scream loud enough to end the match in the next few seconds unless she did something. Her free fist, which had been pounding furiously into the canvas, came up, and Maddie would swing it forward desperately, trying to drive her knuckles as deep as possible into Caroline's side, pull it back, do it again, et cetera. She wanted to make Caroline flinch and ease up on her fingers for just a second.

And then, knowing she had to get rough to win this match, she would shove her hand up her shirt and try to dig her nails into the most sensitive flesh, chest or belly, that she could get her hands on, twisting and raking those talons across Caroline's skin!

“Come on, come on,” Caroline thought to herself as Maddie bellowed. At least she was screaming, but it still wasn't enough, and before the Tennessean could push her five more decibels up, Maddie was summoning her resolve and fighting back! Her free arm flew into motion, hammering Caroline's ribs hard enough to create a pattern of moans and grunts from Caroline each time a strike landed. Maybe the brighter blonde could have powered through that, but then Maddie's hand disappeared inside her shirt! For a second, she feared the possibility that Maddie was trying for something lewd, but her true intent soon had Caroline screaming as those sharp nails carved through her skin!

Forced to move, Caroline untangled her legs and moved away from Maddie, but even though she was free from the triangle choke, Caroline was still holding tight to her sore arm with both hands. Rotating so that she was at Maddie's side, Caroline held her arm out, angled up about 45 degrees with the canvas, and stepped over it with one leg, placing each of her shins at different points along her bicep. Then, the Tennessean did a tiny hop into the air and dropped to her knees, crushing and bending the trapped arm between her shins! It wouldn't break her arm, no, but it just might feel that way.

Worse still, Caroline wouldn't get up when she landed. Not when she had Maddie on the ground, her arm trapped under her with her forearm isolated from the rest of her body. Reaching over and taking the same hand she had just finished mauling, Caroline tried to force her arm to bend, laying the forearm over her thigh like meat on a cutting board. With a growl that would've sounded cute in any context except this, Caroline gripped her hand tight and went right back to twisting her wrist past its normal range of motion. Bending a single finger hadn't worked, so she was threatening the whole hand now!

Maddie really didn't like making Caroline scream like this. It actually made her feel terrible, raking her nails across flesh, leaving what would surely be bright red streaks across that belly, possibly even drawing blood. As competitive as she was, she didn't think Caroline really deserved to be treated like that, but it seemed like the only way she could escape getting her fingers snapped off by the Tennessee-born blonde!

For once, it seemed like Maddie might have found a limit. She was still going to soldier through and finish this match off with a win, but after that she was going to make sure to check in on Caroline, make sure she was okay, and apologize for having to stoop to such ghoulish measures here in the ring tonight.

Caroline began to disengage, but she didn't back off completely, and, while Maddie's fingers were safe, the other girl was still holding onto her arm as she stood, adjusted her position...then dropped down, Maddie's arm all of a sudden feeling as if it was engulfed by fire, the Californian shrieking yet again, clocking another near-miss on the meter! She couldn't control those screams, and she just didn't know how much more she could take before she ended up letting loose with one that was going to end the match! Especially when Caroline went right back to bending her wrist and her whole arm back at the most unnatural angle possible!

"F-f-fuck!! C-come on!!!" Maddie yelped, as her movement options were limited, laying on her back, one arm completely trapped beneath her foe. At least her lower body was free. She would have to use that. Taking in a deep breath, Maddie would kick her lower body up and try to fold her legs towards her upper body, before kicking them out, as hard as she could, trying to use her flexibility to surprise Caroline and nail the other blonde with as powerful a kick to the chin as she could muster!

Caroline had really wanted to get Maddie in this improvised hold while she was on her stomach, a position that would have left her with no leverage at all to escape before Caroline broke something. That wasn't the hand the southern brawler had been dealt, though, and she was only able to crank the hold for a few seconds before Maddie tucked her leg in and shot it toward Caroline's head. There wasn't enough space for her to really make the kick hurt, but it did the job of forcing Caroline off in the most unpleasant manner possible, an indignant grunt audible as the dirty underside of Maddie's boot scraped against her face!

Rolling onto her stomach and sitting up, Caroline rubbed her cheek, removing a smudge of something oily that must have found its way from the backstage floor onto Maddie's boot. That kick had left Caroline reeling for long enough to let Maddie start getting up, but if she moved fast, maybe she could stop the Californian from building any momentum after her escape. Springing back to her feet, Caroline charged Maddie as she was pulling herself up and tried to engage her in another collar-and-elbow tie up.

The contest to establish dominance wouldn't last long. As soon as they grabbed each other, Caroline would try to take advantage of her sore arm by pulling hard on it and giving her a hard shove with her other hand to irish whip her into the corner behind her. If it worked, she would try to drill Maddie into the corner even harder by giving chase and leaping to nail Maddie with a running knee strike aimed at her solar plexus.

Maddie's kick didn't elicit any sort of yelp or cry from Caroline, but it did throw the girl off of her. Good. That last exchange really started to test Maddie's typically unstoppable optimism. She didn't like the extreme measures Caroline was using on her, and she didn't like what it seemed like she might have to do to defeat Caroline.

Groaning, Maddie got to her feet, noticing Caroline doing the same at the same time. The Tennessee girl charged at her, and Maddie, even with her aching arm, would lunge as well, throwing herself against Caroline in another tie-up, their bodies smacking hard together as they jockeyed for position! That lasted for all of five seconds before Caroline grabbed onto Maddie's injured arm, making her yelp in pain, and swung her around into the corner!

Maddie's back hit the turnbuckle hard. She felt a spasm, felt a little bit weak in the knees. "Gaaaah...fuck..." And now her foe was charging at her again, aiming a knee at her solar plexus. Maddie couldn't get out of the corner in time. But...

...but that knee was aimed rather high on her belly, and, she hoped, that if she went down onto all fours, pressing herself against the canvas, Caroline would miss. And maybe she would smack into the turnbuckle herself.

Charging toward Maddie, Caroline grimaced at the sight of her opponent ducking away from her strike, knowing how her knee was about to feel when it struck the corner without Maddie's soft belly for it to land on. She let out a sharp growl as she rammed into the corner, wincing as her knee hit the turnbuckle pad. With solid reflexes, she managed to grab the ropes to either side to stop herself from falling backward, but with a knee that was suddenly too feeble to support any weight, she fell straight down instead, her butt landing with a soft thud on the upper body of Maddie.

Caroline sat there for a moment, panting raggedly and cradling her leg. Her full weight could keep Maddie pinned beneath her for a moment while both of them tried to find their strength, and the crowd didn't mind the sight of one straddling the other in the meantime. With Caroline's back to the ref, however, there was a small window to bend the rules of the match that Caroline realized she had to take. Anything to end this more quickly.

“Hoo...this match stinks, doesn't it? Wish I could just tap you out,” Caroline sighed, her friendly banter contradicting the harshness of her next attack. Taking a thick, blonde lock of Maddie's hair in her hands, Caroline wrapped it twice around the lowest ring rope and started pulling, using it like a winch to reel Maddie's head in and strain her scalp! She only had a couple seconds to do this before the ref circled around to get a better view, but maybe she could force Maddie to scream in that time.

She was going to owe her opponent an apology when all this was over.

Maddie was hoping Caroline would get tangled up in the ropes, or plop down right there in the corner, where she would be relatively easily attacked by a free and rejuvenated Californian. But the lighter-haired blonde came down, instead, right on Maddie's back, forcing a soft "oof" out of the Californian as she abruptly found herself giving a horsey ride to her opponent, up on all fours while Caroline was sitting square in the middle of her back, albeit facing the wrong direction.

Or the right direction for Caroline, who had her back to the center of the ring, allowing her some extracurricular activities, yanking on Maddie's hair, wrapping it around the ring, using it to stretch the hair out and yank painfully on Maddie's scalp. The sudden, sharp pain in her head was enough to get a yelp out of Maddie, but, compared to what she had suffered through so far in this match...hairpulling was child's play, and her scream didn't come close to registering as loud enough.

"Nnyuh...yeah...you can just, like, y'know...give up now..." Maddie grumbled, voice a little hoarse as her hair was yanked further and further. The ref, by this time, had come around and was ordering Caroline to let go of Maddie's hair. As soon as she did, though, Maddie would make a move of her own: with Caroline's own hair dangling down over her back, hanging just a few inches above Maddie's head, the Cali girl would reach up with one hand, grab it, and then drop her upper body down to the canvas, aiming to throw her foe backwards and send her tumbling into the center of the ring!
