The Long Eared stranger

Josey was more or less okay, besides a slight stinging feeling in her face she seemed to not have taken all tat much damage, while Lia wasn't a pushover it seemed and she did have a bit of a punch and seemed to know what she was doing, Josey though she seemed fine, it was all relative though, the bunny girl had done something that would not be forgiven, or well forgiven, the cowgirl didn't hold any grudge, she would just pay her back a few times over and try to humiliate her a bit later on perhaps, or maybe the humiliation part was a bit to much, there was no need for that, maybe she would just take the Bunny home with her and put her in a cage or something, give her a flask of water and a carrot a day.

Josey was at least trying to think of ways to hurt Lia or well ways to get back into the fight, she figured that at First she should try and get up from the ground, but that was halted by the Bunny girl as she grabbed onto the Cowgirls foot and began to twist and wrench on her ankle, Josey gritted her teeth and tried to hold on, holding in any urge she had to scream and pressed her palms down against the cold and hard floor, she was trying her best to do something about it, but Lia was really working her ankle over, she could feel the pain surging through her leg, through the nerves all the way to her spine, where it traveled up to her head, that rushing feeling of pain that went up and down with each and every wrench from Lia, but still Josey didn't shout out in pain or anything.

She did however start pounding her curled up fist into the ground, The hold was kept for quite a long time, before Lia finally decided to do something different, as she moved up to her feet, Josey's ankle felt like it was on fire, and if a little more force had been applied it could have very well have ended badly, broken bones badly.

But when Lia moved up she didn't just kindly let the poor Renegade Gunslinger go, no she slammed the beautiful cowgirls knee straight down into the ground, it didn't take long after for Josey to curl up and take hold of her knee, and pressing it closer to her body, trying to hug it and somehow get the pain to stop, but no sound came from her, until she let out a little chuckle, " What's the matter bunny, got tired?" Josey asked mocking as if it was a taunt aimed at the girl.

Huffing with a grim satisfaction, Lia winked at Josey. "Nope, just bored." Lia actually was running low on steam and did not want to gas herself too early. The pain in Josey's leg would make it just a bit harder to throw her power around.

Still, Josey was clearly tough. The only sounds in that room were the uneven pants of the three girls... No grunting, no screaming, no straining. Josey was no stranger to pain, it seemed. Lia had scored some points but she had not won yet, not by a long shot.

Once more, she silently began to curse herself. The smart play was to have just kept walking, leaving the pigtailed girl to Josey. If Josey won, Lia would be alone and at her mercy, and Josey seemed like the sort that pulled body parts off of small animals. Whatever happened would probably be humiliating, painful, and final.

Lia had no intention of letting that happen. Some leg damage was the first move; time for the next step in dictating the fight. She focused on Josey's head. "I like your hat. I think it'll look good on me... with a couple of holes cut for rabbit ears." Taking a step back to give herself room, Lia bounded toward Josey. She did all she could to telegraph taking a running punt for the cowgirl's head. A normal person would probably be out of the fight from a move like that. If Lia had read Josey correctly, that would just piss her off.

Which is why Lia instead stepped over the cowgirl. As soon as both feet touched the floor behind Josey, if they made it, Lia would leap back, aiming an elbow right at Josey's kidneys. Lia sought to make every shot count toward the long haul of this fight. Slow Josey's legs, then get some body shots, slow her breath down. These sorts of hits early on would hopefully pay dividends. Fighting Josey head-on was obviously a foolish move, but if Lia could keep the fight on her terms, she might be able to send the cowgirl packing.

Josey did have to admit that The Bunny girl had got her pretty darn good, her legs was throbbing and aching in pain, all from her ankle to her shin and up to her knee, her knee that was in the most pain, but that was just some kind of throbbing misfortune in this little dance that the two were sharing, Lia was not someone to be taken lightly, at least so it seemed, for the Bunny girl was skilled, and she knew how to fight, Josey had the size and weight advantage, she also had the strength and most likely the intimidation factor here, and Lia she seemed to have her skill, and her way of fighting.

The empty and cold Locker room, that they were in was interesting, it was slightly damaged and mess up, some of the locker were dented and some were knock over, broken chair here and some other broken parts from things to messed up to tell what they were when they were whole, since it was late, there was no one here, and in fact, Josey had thought that she would have had to settle for the pigtails girl from earlier tonight, and while she was a good punching bag, she wasn't much of a fighter and those kind of Idjits weren't fun to beat up, the kind that was fun to beat up was those who tried to hard and could even topple the cowgirl every now and then.

Lia was quickly becoming that fun prey that Josey liked, spunky and all for the fight, she liked to kick and opponents ass, especially when they were like Lia was, and when they had to upper-hand like Lia did now, it was all just more fun, the fight against bad odds was always intriguing and it was rare for her to find someone to beat down who was fun, she had only had one match in AFW, and that was against some small girl who did nothing to her, Josey thought she might have had to go back to rodeo and start wrestling down bulls to the ground since AFW seemed to have little to offer, but of course Lia had changed that, it seemed like with her here there would be no need to leave, cause there was fun to be had.

Josey listened as Lia stepped around and made her way to the side of her head, she heard the Bunny girls words, the first was a compliment, Like your hat that was a compliment and Josey smiled a little, but when she heard what Lia said next, that smile turned to a frown and than to a vile grin, no she'd done it, the bunny was gonna get thrown to the wolves, cause now she gone and pissed the Cowgirl of, no one touched the hat without getting the beaten till they were on death door, no one hurt the hat, no one talked about damaging the hat without getting a serious serving of hot poker to the face.

Josey growled out a little as she tried to move up to her feet but Lia was on her, running at Josey head, this was going to hurt like hell she thought, but Lia jumped over her head, not was Josey's chance the rolled to the opposite side of where Lia had landed, to try and get away, and so dodging the elbow drop, and under Josey was the cold and hard floor of the locker room.

" Now ya gone an got me pissed off at ya Bunny" Josey said as she would begin and push herself up to her hands and knees, her previously targeted leg was giving her her fair bit of trouble but she seemed to be okay, " Sorry to say, that yall be going down, ain't nobody talkin about taking ma hat like that, and nobody should be talkin about cutting wee wholes in it for ya freak bunny ears." Josey said as she would start to push herself up.

Aw hell's bells. Lia's face fell when the cowgirl was not there to take the elbow. She pulled her arm back as best she could. The smack into the hard floor sent a jolt of pain up Lia's arm and through her shoulder. It hurt like hell but it could have been a lot worse. "Kyah! Dammit!" Lia hissed, clutching her arm.

Under ordinary circumstances, Lia was usually one of the strongest girls in any given room. Still, she was no stranger to fighting stronger foes, especially outside the ring. Good practice, as the AFW was full of positively beastly women.

Unfortunately, fighting beasts required you to control the momentum, especially in an environment like this. Lia knew this mistake could cost her the fight. These next heartbeats would be crucial and Lia's arm was still practically paralyzed. The seconds she needed to recover just were not there. Gritting her teeth, Lia threw herself to her knees. She had to try to beat Josey to her feet. "Well," Lia grunted, "maybe I could give it to that girl you laid out. It's only fair." If Lia could manage getting to her feet before Josey put a stop to her, Lia would try to shoulder check Josey with her good arm. It was a desperate move but Lia knew she needed the momentum.

Josey was looking over at Lia who was a good deal quicker than her when she was trying to get up to her feet, Lia had already gotten up, at least it seemed like she had hurt her arm, which was a good thing, with a hurt arm it might be easier for Josey to tear it of the little bunny and then begin beating her with her own arm, or maybe she would just settle for slamming her face into the lockers till she cried uncle and begged for mercy, she did hope though that Lia wasn't one to give up, even in the end, cause she didn't like quitters and usually lost interest in them.

Josey looked on at Lia as she seemed fine, and so was Josey in fact, she tired out her leg a little, it stung and felt like it was on fire, but it was okay, and she could walk on it without much problem, just a little pain, Josey had to move up and follow Lia, as she walked forwards Josey began to charge at the girl, but seemed like Lia had other plans as she came in and shoulder checked Josey, " Ugh!" Josey let out, but else Nothing happened, Josey stood fast as the shoulder check hit her, she looked down at the Bunny and smiled a little, she as she would try and move her hands around to grab a hold of Lia's hurt arm.

And being to twist it, trying to twist it behind the girls back, as she herself would try and move in behind Lia, Josey chest did hurt from that shoulder check, but it wasn't enough to take her down, it wasn't like she hadn't taken a hit like that before, in fact she had taken many, from folks and creatures that were stronger than Lia.

Josey attempted to lock in a type of Hammer lock on Lia, to try ad control her and to pain her arm a little, " Aww does this ol'arm hurt my lil'bunny" Josey said mockingly to Lia as she tired to twist and pain Lia's arm quite a bit.

To Lia's surprise, she smacked into Josey and neither of them moved. Her shoulder felt like hit hurt more than what she might have did to Josey. Holy shit. She really gets her red meats.

Before Lia could follow up, Josey grabbed Lia's hurt arm. Oh no. "Agh!" Lia yelped as Josey twisted her arm behind her back. "Yeah.... yeah that stings just a little." The pain burned through her shoulder. So soon after hitting the floor, the hold cut like a knife, and with the power behind the cowgirl's grip, it felt like Lia arm was about to be wrenched from the socket. Lia bit her lip to try to focus. Summoning what will she could, Lia bent over a bit, trying to entice the cowgirl forward. (After the fact, Lia would pretend that she knew Josey would want to lord over her prey but in reality it was all on instinct.) Looking down, Lia waited to identify Josey's hurt foot. If she stepped in, Lia would lift her own foot up and slam her heel down on it as hard as she could manage. With this jolt, Lia hoped she could free her arm. If she could, Lia would spin around and aim a haymaker to Josey's face with all the momentum and power she could muster.

Josey was keeping her hold of Lia, she kept her hands locked on Lia's arm as she was trying to pain her as much as she could, she had to do this, to show the little Bunny what happened when you messed with the cowgirl, she was going to teach her a cruel and painful lesson, for Josey had a plan, in a second she would move one arm down and move it in between Lia's legs to lift her up and run towards a locker to ram her body in to the steel lockers.

But of course Lia was ever a fighter, not one to let Josey do what she wanted, she bent over slightly, and that was troublesome and stopped her plan, as Lia's rear pushed back against her thighs a little, she would just have to settle for driving her head into the lockers instead, but was that really what would happen, when Josey was just about to switch tactics, Lia made her move and stomped down hard on Josey's boot covered foot, " Agh!" Josey shouted out as Lia's heel dug down on her foot and grounded it's way down. Shit shit shit...that hurt like hell

Josey lost the grip of her hammerlock, but then Lia spun around and Josey looked on slightly confused, before the girls fist smacked straight into her cheek, " Uffght" Josey let out as her face smacked and she spun a bit to the motion of the fist, and began to stagger back after the fist hit her, she almost fell, cause of the hurt foot and the unbalancing feeling she got after the punch, but she managed to keep herself up, she bent her knees a little and placed her hands on them.

Looking up to Lia as she moved a hand up to push up her hat a little so she could see the Bunny better, " Oh I'm defiantly making ya ma pet now Bunny rabbit " Josey said as she moved her arm over to wipe away a little spittle from the side of her lips, Josey started to like this girl a bit, she had spunk and when she wanted to she could throw a punch, now all that was needed was to punish this girl for talking about damaging her hat and then make her into a fine little pet.

In that brief instant before Lia's punch struck, she would see Josey's eyes clearly. On some level, Josey was enjoying this. There was no way this fight was going to end right here. Even if Lia beat her, she would be back for more. And more. This was becoming an even worse idea by the second.

Lia would never admit it, not even to herself, but deep down, she enjoyed this too. The thrill of the fight, the ability to really hurt people like Josey. Deep down on a level Lia was not even aware of, she loved that sort of thing.

The crack of the punch was gruesomely satisfying, especially given how fortunate Lia was to land it so well, but that was not even close to enough to bring down Josey... or shut her up. "I'd like to see ya try, pardner." Josey was clearly not the sort who had anything vital in her head. Hitting it was hardly going to be effective. There was just no good way to take her down, and Lia could scarcely afford to take too many more exchanges with her.

Still, it was an enticing target, Lia would reach in, trying to grab Josey's head and yank her forward, hopefully keeping her off balance. With her head clinched, Lia would seek to aim a powerful knee strike straight into Josey's head, she would release the cowgirl with that blow, not wanting to keep too close to her, allowing her to recoil freely if the knee strike hit.

Of course, this would probably knock her hat off, too. Lia had bigger things to worry about. Well, one bigger thing.

Josey was clearly enjoying this, it was what she loved the most, to have a nice fight against someone that would keep trying to come back no matter what, and try to at least maybe give the cowgirl a challenge, she had to admit that she was taking a little shine to Lia, she liked the girl, more so than most of those she had met so far in AFW, well...all she had met was 3 weaklings, someone who was her employer now, that she didn't really know what to feel over her, at the moment she kinda had no real feeling for her, other than, she pays me to beat people up, sweet!

But beyond that Lia was the first one for Josey to take a liking to, she was still going to teach the bunny a lesson, that was don't mess with the hat, and don't talk about messing with the hat, the hat was special to her, and she wouldn't let anyone touch it, not really, she didn't give it to the ring crew or anything, she put her stuff on the turnbuckle and let it be there, if she felt like she even had to take it off.

Lia was at least confident, and that was good, a broken pet was a boring pet, " Hope ya ain't easy to break there bunny rabbit, cause I have no use for a broken pet" Josey said with a crocked smile on her face as Lia was coming at her again, she didn't act, and kinda played possum for a moment, as she head was grabbed, Josey would as soon as that happened shot up her arm to take a firm grip of Lia's crotch with her hand, and the other and would go around the girls shoulder's and latch on as she would quickly attempt and lift her to tilt her to the side, and hold her up in the air on her side with her mighty arm, " Ya wanna see ma try this here lockers on ya back bunny rabbit" Josey said with a pretty strange laugh to accompany her words, as she would then attempt and charge up and try to ram Lia's back into the lockers as hard as she could.

Lia grimaced as Josey sprung into action, grabbing Lia's crotch and hoisting her up. Before she knew it, Lia was off her feet and moving fast. This was not good. Lia barely realized what was happening when she saw the back of the cowgirl as she was moving. By instinct, she tried to slam her elbow into Josey's head, but even if it connected, it would not be a enough. For an instant, there was a loud crash and the world went white. Pain shot through Lia's body as she was slammed against the unforgiving lockers. "Hhk!" She grunted in pain, most of the air knocked out of her. For a moment, Lia would be paralyzed with the pain, unable to stop whatever else Josey had planned.
