Cecilia Northman vs Emily Nelson

If Emily could shout "No," she would have. Cecilia's grip around her throat, however, was so tight that no sound could escape, so the most she managed to do was shake her head slightly as her mouth gaped weakly for air.

After what felt like an eternity, Emily managed to push them over to roll towards the ropes. She didn't get far, though, her arm falling weakly to the mat halfway to the ropes. Her head weas swimming, and her limbs were feeling heavier and heavier as Cecilia squeezed into her. Even as her vision swam, Emily try to pull the closer and closer to the ropes, though her efforts were becoming weaker with each second.

Cecilia continued holding on tight in her strong hold, trying squeeze Emily's waist and tighten her hold over Emily's troth as she still felt the girl being resistant to her, "You...are tough as hell..." Cecilia complimented Emily as she tried to hold on and keep them both away from the ropes, but that was hard as all she could really do was to squeeze harder and flex her strong muscular legs and arms as she squeezed on Emily.

The ropes got closer and closer, but still a bit away, "Stubborn Girl....just go to sleep!" Cecilia shouted out a bit in frustration over how much Emily was fighting it, she guessed that she knew how Emily must have felt when she fought and was being stubborn in her holds, but this was not the time to think highly and find a great sense of respect for Emily, this was the time to try and squeeze ever ounce of fight out of the Scotswoman.

"Gnnnh...hnnnn..nnnnnh..." Emily's breathing became more laboured as Cecilia squeezed into her more tightly. Her limbs felt like dead weights, and her struggles slowly began to cease as her movements became weaker and weaker. A part of her brain knew she was losing, and refused to give up. Even as her vision became hazy, she still struggled in Cecilia's grasp. She wasn't going to lose again, not to Cecilia, not to a sleeper hold like this.

Then, finally, her arm went limp against the map as Emily's eyes closed, her body unmoving against Cecilia's as she lay sideways on the mat. The ref moved over to check her over, while the crowd waited anxiously to see if the Scotswoman had passed out.

Cecilia held on for dear life, she felt like she had Emily, but her opponent was getting closer to the ropes, and she started to doubt that this hold would work, at least that was until she saw Emily's arm fall limp to the ground, Cecilia began to feel as if this was it, had she won against Emily, had she beaten this formidable opponent.

"You did great...you stubborn girl" Cecilia whispered into Emily's ear as she held on, she had a great respect for Emily, as she was by far one of her toughest opponents yet, and especially one of her most entertaining match opponents so far in Friction.

There were questions that ran through her mind, as she still held on as tight as ever on Emily, as she couldn't let up until she knew that she had won, and that she knew that Emily was out, the entire arena was silent, as they awaited the ref's decree, as the ref went up to them and went down, grabbing Emily's arm and raising it before letting it go to fall to the ground.

As the crowd watched, the ref raised one of Emily's arms and released it. The arm fell limply to the ground. The tension grew as the ref raised Emily's arm again, double checking to be sure. Slowly, the ref released the arm, and for the second time, it fell limply to the ground.

Without wasting a further moment, the ref told Cecilia to release Emily. The bell rang, and the crowd erupted into cheering as the Golden Queen won an impressive victory. Still in Cecilia's grip, Emily lay motionless and silent, passed out completely thanks to Cecilia's thorough sleeper.

As the arm fell down it was like time stopped for Cecilia, moving so slowly down as the arm felt limp, Cecilia's eyes widened at after what felt like a life time, the ref then went and picked the arm up again, Cecilia's heart stopped, there was so much that ran through her mind, but one thought shouted out in her head more than any other, have I beaten her.... Cecilia waited what seemed like another life time for the arm to fall down.

As it did Cecilia's eyes shot up as she had won and she quickly let go and roll Emily onto her back as the ref told her to let go, she rose to her feet and took a step back from Emily, and have her arm raised to the thunderous roars of approval from the crowd, they had witnessed a great match between two awesome combatants.

Cecilia looked down at Emily, sad that she had passed out, she would have loved to bring her up with her and raise her hand up high with her, she still looked down, thinking that she had certainly made a rival, and someone that could keep her on her sharp and on her toes.

Emily lay unmoving on the mat, drenched in sweat and seemingly asleep as her hair splayed outwards around her head. Her chest rose and fell faintly as she breathed, and the ref examined her, making sure she was alright.

Then, slowly, the Scotswoman's eyes fluttered open. Groggily, she stirred, barely aware of the crowd shouting in the background and lots of lights around her. Her head moved up slightly, blinking as she tried to bring the world back into focus. "Nnnh...feck..." she managed to mumble, finally noticing Cecilia standing over her. "You've won, 'aven't ye?"

Cecilia despite winning was sore almost all over, her hair was a bit of a mess, and she too were covered in sweat, but she still stood proud as the winner of this match, she looked down at Emily, and noticed her coming back to the world.

She bent down and looked down on Emily reaching a hand out to the girl, to help her up to her feet, she shot a smile and a wink towards Emily, " You're a damn stubborn girl....don't think even I could have held on that long....but yeah..." Cecilia said, not really trying to rub it in Emily's face that she had won, Emily deserved better than that.

If Emily took the Golden Queen's hand then she would try and heave her up to her feet, and if she managed to do that she would hold onto Emily as she raised her hand high up in the air for the crowd.

"Ladies and Gentlemen...Give a round of applause for the amazing Emily Nelson !!!!" Cecilia shouted out to the crowd as she tried to give Emily some love for that was and incredible match, the crowd burst into another wave of thunderous applause.

Emily gave a weak smile as Cecilia held up her hand. Her entire body felt weak and numb after being KO'd by Cecilia, and she blinked frequently, still feeling groggy from having recently lost consciousness. Her brown hair was a damp mess clinging to her face and the side of her head, and even through the tangle of her hair, the arena around her was nothing but a grey blur with the flashing white of the lights. Despite this, the fact that the crowd was cheering her on did much to mitigate the pang of loss.

She turned to Cecilia and gave her a warm smile. Truth to be told, she was surprised that Cecilia was being this good a sport. "Eh...you just got lucky," she said. "All aside, y'won fair n' square, Golden Queen. Though next time, I'll be decrowning you."

Emily sincerely hoped there would be a next time, at that. Fighting opponents of Cecilia's calibre was one of the reasons she loved this sport in the first place.

Cecilia had had a match that she would most likely remember for a long time, a match that she could honestly say that she enjoyed near every moment of, even if her body was completely sore, her arms still hurt like hell, she couldn't deny that Emily was and amazing opponent, that was just fun to wrestle with, the feeling of letting the crowd scream and applaud for Emily after she raised her hand, was quite a good feeling, letting her opponent have a momentary feeling of triumph.

Cecilia smiled "lucky?..oh that's original" Cecilia said before she giggled a little, she found herself smiling a little more, and a lot more kindly towards Emily, "Looking forwards to seeing you try!" Cecilia said as she lowered her arm down, and let it go, as she would then move her hand to offer a handshake to Emily, "Thanks for a great match, Lady Nelson...there aren't many who can give the Golden Queen such a challenge" Cecilia said offering her gratitude and respect to Emily.

Cecilia always liked battles like this, technical fight, where she and her opponent fought fair and square and just had a great time, and wrestling girls like Emily was just the best, just because of the challenge that was give, there just had to be a next time, in Cecilia's mind she had to have another fight, it didn't matter that she had won, she still just wanted to wrestle Emily again.
