It's Cold in the North: Cecilia Northman vs Emily Nelson

At first, Emily made no response as she lay on the mat, her eyes screwed shut. For a moment, Cecilia might even have thought that Emily had been knocked out by the slam. Then, just as her count reached two, Emily's chest heaved to the side as the Scottish Knight's body twisted underneath Cecilia, barely getting a shoulder up.

Emily groaned, her chest rising and falling as she lay on her side. The slam had taken quite a bit out of her, and she was forced to dig deep into whatever reserves of strength she had left to try to get moving again.

Cecilia groaned out in frustration as her count was broken, but then she chuckled a little as she rolled off Emily and onto her back, she breathed out heavily as she stared up into the ceiling and smiled for a second, before she began to push herself up to a seated position, " Couldn't take...a loss...there Em " Cecilia said through wincing and pain, before she began to slowly rise up to her feet, and bend down to try and pull Emily up by her arm.

If she could do that then Cecilia would go back to try this again, hopefully she wasn't to tired or anything like that to try and hit Emily with this move, she would try and turn Emily around so that she was facing her back, and with that try bending her back so that she could tuck her head it to a inverted facelock, " Let's...*huff.*..try this one more time" Cecilia said as she was trying to set Emily up for her finisher, she she could get this far then Cecilia would take a deep breath and then clench her teeth, and then move her free arm down and grab a hold of Emily's shorts.

If that worked as planned Cecilia would dig down deep and attempt to lift Emily up and throw them both backwards as she tried to hit Emily with and inverted Suplex, her finisher Valkyrie's sword.

Emily moaned slightly as she was pulled up to her feet, her legs wobbling slightly underneath her. Her breathing was heavy, and she was still looking quite dazed from that earlier slam. At this point in the match, it was plain to tell that she was in pretty bad shape.

The next thing Emily knew, her head was trapped under Cecilia's armpit, and her body was arched back painfully. She gave a muffled rasp as she clutched at Cecilia's elbows, trying in vain to pry her head loose. Shaking her trapped head, she tried to reach her arms back around Cecilia's waist, twisting her own body in an attempt to unbalance Cecilia. If that didn't work, however, then Emily would be lifted up over Cecilia's head and crash, belly-first, down on the mat with enough force to blast all the air out of the lungs, leaving her lying face-down on the mat.

Cecilia wasn't doing all to well herself really, she was tired and kinda hurt at this point, all the holds that had been put on her had done their fair share in wearing the Queen of Valkyries down, but she was looking a little bit better than Emily it seemed, as she was upright hand holding Emily ready to hit her finisher on the Scottish Knight, well that was until Emily tried to reach back and tried to turn her body around.

Cecilia was ready for this, Emily had escaped this hold once and she was gonna give her a little surprise, as she would squeeze around Emily's neck a bit harder and use her free hand to grab a tighter hold of Emily to stop her from escaping, " ngh..not this time " Cecilia said with a little smile on her face as she would then lift Emily up and throw her back with her finisher, it was a simple move, but effective at such a point in a match.

" Kh..." Cecilia let out as her back really stung a bit from the rough landing, Cecilia had to weigh in her options, to roll up and move onto Emily and put her in a Gleipner....or if she should just go for a pin, Gleipner was the safer choice as she could lock in the tired Emily easily now, and the ten count pin was a pain to say the least, but Cecilia thought a pin might be more fun, maybe it was gonna help her get what Emily meant.

Cecilia moved around and tried to roll Emily over onto her front to then cover her and start the long ten count pin " One!.."

Emily was almost completely stunned as she lay on the mat, groaning as Cecilia rolled her over. Cecilia's finisher had done quite a number on her, and although she was dimly aware of Cecilia's body pressing down against hers, she couldn't muster the strength to break the pin, or the will to even try.

"...two...three..."

Cecilia huffed and puffed as she held onto Emily and pinned her very skilled rival down as she tried to go for the long pin and get a victory over Emily, to try and tie them up a little, she wasn't sure how any of them would live through a 5th round however and was starting to think that maybe it was a stupid idea to have it be a best out of 5 round match.

After the Queen of Valkyries counted for the second and third time, she was forced to shake her head a little, before slamming her hand down twice for a " four....five "

If this match had been going with a standard three count, then Emily would have lost by now. The fact that it had to be a ten count, however, meant that Emily had more time to recover than she normally might have, and more time to shut out the pain and focus back on the match.

"Six...seven..." Cecilia counted, before Emily's body suddenly arched up underneath her, pressing their bodies more closely together as Emily barely managed to get a shoulder up. The Scotswoman breathed heavily, sucking in air as she slumped back down to the mat.

Cecilia counted out the sixth and seventh count before Emily managed to push up " Wha?...come on" Cecilia let out as she started to laugh lightly, she kept laying against Emily, her breast now touching against Emily's as she breathed out a bit against Emily's shoulder, hot air whisking against Emily's skin for a moment before she began to slowly push herself up from Emily.

" You...really don't know when to quit there...Emily" Cecilia said as she began to try and roll the Scottish Knight over onto her stomach, and move up to mount her back, " *Huff*...*huff*...Time to..put you down...the Scottish Knight will have a warrior death..." Cecilia said as she giggled out a little, before she would attempt and wrap Emily into a inverted face lock, and wrap her other arm around the closest of Emily's arms and try to pull her back into a Dragon clutch, " Oh...You haven't felt this move..yet have you ? " Cecilia said as she tired to lock in Emily in one of her finishers, Gleipner

"Nnnugh..." was Emily's only groan of a reply as she was rolled onto her front. Slowly, she pressed her palms against the mat, breathing deeply as she was about to try to push herself back upright...

...only to feel Cecilia sit down squarely on her back. The next thing Emily knew, Cecilia's arm to suddenly snaked under her chin, pulling her back sharply. Emily went wide-eyed as her upper body was pulled backwards, her head disappeared under Cecilia's armpit as she was curved into an almost perfect C-shape. "Nn..AAAGH!" she cried as her back and upper body were bent painfully, her arms flailing as she found herself in a world of pain. Her flailing subsided fairly quickly, as Cecilia used her free arm to ensnare one of Emily's.

"Agh...AAAAAAGH!" Emily screamed. The pain in her back was intense, and all she could do was grab at one of Cecilia's elbows with her free hand. She tried to twist free, but that only cause stabbing lances of pain to shoot down her spine even more. Her chest and upper body pressed outwards, drenched in sweat as her spine felt like it was on the verge of snapping.

Shutting her eyes, Emily soon found herself tapping weakly at Cecilia's arm with her free and. "Leggo..." she managed to rasp, unable to take the pain any more.

Cecilia managed to lock in her finisher and pull back on Emily quite effectively, she could already feel her rivals pain and feel her struggles that was quickly diminishing, soon enough she the fight was fairly drained from the taller girl and she was really to give up, it was only a matter of time, the weak struggles soon enough ceased completely as Emily tapped on her arm and told Cecilia to let go.

Cecilia softly let go of Emily and put her down carefully against the mat, she patted Emily on the back as she then leaned in to press her forehead against the back of Emily's head, " Hehe...that was fun " Cecilia said with a smile as she kept sitting on Emily's back for a bit longer, " You okay Em?..I didn't hurt you to much right ?" Cecilia said as she began to push off of Emily and get on her knees beside the girl.

Offering Emily a hand a she smiled at her, it worked pretty well for her in this round, there was one more left and that was going to be the final, both were tired and drenched in sweat, and Cecilia had no idea who had won, she wanted to win so badly, she could feel it within herself, but more so at the moment, she just wanted to have an awesome final round with Emily.
