Vengeful Feelings

By Westminster Abbey

 

Two weeks had gone by since Abby's painful tag team debut in the ring with Yuki, against her friend --The Professor Paula and the merciless Black Pearl. Abby felt embarrassed by the pitiful display of wrestling skill she had put on. But, many in the audience that night, including the owner of the gym, Dee, could not stop thinking about how well the tall blonde rookie stay so long with such a merciless opponent and sold the holds so well that she was placed in. They didn't know that The Black Pearl really had worked over Abby's long slender legs.

 

Dee was the grand dame of the group, and also wrestled in this pseudo-league of friends and acquaintances. What had started innocently as a friendly way to pursue similar interests with a very close friend, had become almost a club of sorts with about 8 women who also enjoyed working out and wrestling each other in pro style fashion, replete with costumes and ring names, and sometimes grudges. Dee was 38 years old when she divorced and started having fun with an old friend named Margo, who was 39 at the time. The two middle-aged women quickly found themselves enjoying much more than the wrestling, which became merely a precedent to more erotic holds after each match. Dee 's ex-husband was to thank for the wrestling gym. He had extended the house at the back of the three-car garage for a large workroom. But, when Dee found out about his extramarital affairs with a woman he had designed some cabinets for, the topic was moot. Dee seized the opportunity to turn the extra room into a workout room, but decided to install a wrestling ring in the middle when she and Margo discovered their new interest .

 

Before long, the wrestling party expanded to include a few more friends. Among them a beautiful, but shy little redhead named Claudia melted Dee 's heart. The angelic 19 year old had soft, round face encircled by straight brownish red hair that made this plump little cherub look 5 years younger. She stood 5'3” tall, and the soft curves of 139-pound body looked exquisite in spandex and lycra. Dee fell in love with the shy, young beauty. Margo didn't seem to mind. Now 43, Margo was confident in herself, her abilities, and her relationship with Dee to become jealous of the young newcomer. Besides Margo enjoyed matches with the slightly plump girl whose girl-next-door appearance worked well in jobber roles. Dee especially enjoyed watching Margo work the little angel over. Dee would shower praise and suggestions on Claudia, and arrange private lessons for later. Claudia learned many effective holds, and learned from two of the best heels in the small group. Claudia hoped to showcase her new skills for Dee someday in a match, but continued to turn Dee on with waling protestations and her anguished pounding of the mat each time Margo bent her into another submission hold.

 

As Claudia turned 23, she became more possessive of Dee 's affections. The maturing young woman still possessed a strong juvenile jealous streak when it came to the woman who had taken her under her wing. Claudia always seemed to be looking over her shoulder at each new girl that Dee accepted into the group. And, Claudia was particularly disturbed the night she watched her beloved Dee thoroughly enjoy the hapless inexperienced blonde in the ring suffer, beg, and cry at the hands of the Black Pearl. Much to Claudia's chagrin, that was all Dee talked about for days. Claudia's soft, round cherub smile eventually turned into a pouting sulk that others began to notice. The raging jealousy began to get the best of Claudia as she sulked about Abby becoming Dee 's next protégé.

 

Claudia confided in Yuki one day in the gym that if she had to endure listening to Dee fantasize about getting Abby in the ring one more time, she would leave the group for good. Yuki had an innocent way stirring up trouble by speaking without thinking first. Yuki suggested that Claudia challenge Abby in the ring. “Teach her a lesson right in front of Dee . Punish her so bad that she decides to leave and not return.” The idea got Claudia thinking about ways to accomplish such a feat. She thought out loud to Yuki, “It might be fun to have a match with a set time limit. One where even submissions won't help to end it.” Yuki agreed to the strategy could certainly serve the purpose. But the beautiful Asian looked puzzled. Claudia explained that she and Dee had played around once with such an idea for a match. She called it a Towel Match. Dee 's idea was to have Claudia wrestle Margo for 30 minutes or Dee threw a white towel into the ring. The only way to get out of the ring was for time to expire or Dee to throw in the towel. Yuki swallowed deeply at the thought of it. But, Claudia smiled wickedly as she turned to leave. She was heading home to put her challenge on email so that the whole group would see it.

 

Yuki met Abby for lunch at work later that evening. They both worked at the hospital in town, and often found themselves going to lunch at the same time. Yuki followed through on her promise to tell Abby about the challenge that was being posted on email for the next night. She embellished the story so as to characterize the match as more for fun in which she would be the face so Claudia could try being the heel for a change. Abby balked at first because of the short notice, but Yuki encouraged her that all she needed was to find a simple costume, something easy to put together, like a ballerina—innocent and naïve. “You know, Dee used to dance when she was younger,” Yuki said. “You would look soooooo good destroying Claudia dressed like that, in tights and leotard and all.” Abby saw the humor in parodying Dee and working her girlfriend over. She knew that she had everything except a tutu and toe shoes. She already had a white leotard, and white opaque tights, so this should be easy enough, she thought. She also had the next night off from work, so Abby agreed to accept the challenge.

 

Having only one day to prepare did not help matters for Abby. She found the toe shoes at the costume store, but they were a size too small for her long narrow foot. Abby decided to tolerated the pain. After all, the match would only be 30 minutes, perhaps less if Dee could not bear watching her pet get tortured. Abby smiled at the thought, but as she dressed before the match, she found the shoe to be distressingly painful. No harm in removing them, she thought as she gingerly left the dressing area and proceeded to the ring in her white leotard, pale pink tutu and opaque white tights. Her best friend, Paula was not in town to see the hastily scheduled match. But, Dee was sitting at ringside waving a white towel at Abby as she walked by. About 20 friends of friends, all women tonight, gathered in the makeshift arena.

 

Margo was announcing the wrestlers from the center of the ring as Abby stepped onto the first of two stacked wooden boxes that lead to the ring apron. “ Good Evening Ladies. Tonight's match will be somewhat of a new experience. The first wrestler to enter the ring has been challenged to a Towel Match where only the 30 minute time limit, or the white towel that Dee is holding will end the match.” Polite cheers went up as Margo, continued, “The beautiful young rookie is back after her painful loss two weeks ago in a tag team match. Standing 5'8” tall, and weighing 129 pounds, a former beauty queen from the Midwest, the kid's got a heart of gold and a lot of courage, please welcome… straight from the Chicago Ballet, Abby-Long Legs !!!” Margo winked approvingly, as the leggy blonde bombshell kicked high in the air like a New York City Rockette and then pirouetted across the ring to her corner.

 

Many of the ladies in the audience were whistling and cat-calling Abby's demonstration of flexibility and her cute outfit, reminiscent of Saturday morning dance lessons. The shoes were causing Abby so much pain that she had to remove them. As Margo introduced her opponent, Abby lifting her right foot to the middle rope and proceeded to untie the uncomfortable slippers. “ Her opponent suggested this evening's match and stands 5'3” tall and weighing 139 pounds. The Temptress of Torture. Please give a hearty welcome for…The Crippler…Claudia-a-a-a !!!” Having chosen a leopard print one piece thong, sheer taupe hose, and light beige ankle boots, Claudia strode to the ring confidently, pausing to blow a kiss to Dee and winking to Yuki seated beside her. With both wrestlers in the ring, Margo called them to the center to give each the instructions of the match. “As you both know, this is a towel match with a 30 minute time limit. Which means that pins do not count, and submissions will also not end the match. The only way out before 30 minutes has expired, is if Dee , over there, tosses that white towel into the ring. Do you both understand?” Abby wanted to give a good performance, so she pulled one of her long slender legs high, hugging it in another demonstration of extraordinary flexibility as she feigned indifference and spite to Claudia. Claudia sneered back, but was not pretending like the other girl. Sensing that Claudia meant business, Margo said under her breath, “This ought to good,” as both wrestlers declined to shake hands and returned to their corners. Abby removed the tutu and tossed it over the ropes to someone for safekeeping.

 

Margo motioned for the bell and both wrestlers circled out in answer to it. Abby moved quickly and grabbed a side headlock on the redhead. Wrenching it tighter, Abby paraded her leopard-clad opponent around the ring. Then, reversing the headlock and facing Claudia, Abby put her hand on the shorter girl's back and dropped backward sending the redhead to the mat headfirst. Rolling up to her feet, Abby grabbed the closest arm and lifted the dazed girl back to her feet. Winding the arm in a wide arc, Abby flipped Claudia back to the mat, and stomped her shoulder for effect. The young rookie was off to a quick start and wanted to soak it for all she could, so she lifted Claudia again, but this time by her ears, and sent the groaning redhead stumbling into the ropes. Claudia rebounded back to the taller blonde who grabbed a wrist and elbow, and flipped the tired and stunned heel back to the mat by dropping backward and arm-dragging her high above the canvas. Winded, Claudia blinked into the single bright light above the ring while the ballerina bounced up and stalked over to grab a handful hair. The screaming redhead was lifted back on her feet where Abby quickly clamped on another side headlock. Dragging her plump yet cute opponent by the head, Abby ran to the nearest corner where she rammed the redhead into the top turnbuckle. Boom! As the ring shook, guns went off in Claudia's head as she reeled backwards, swimming in a mist of spinning lights. But, Abby had more for the chubby little girl. Grabbing her arm again, Abby swung Claudia into the side ropes and vaulted the shorter but heavier girl into the air by ducking into the leopard print suit and using her amazingly long legs to get height on the maneuver. Claudia hit the canvas hard and bounced twice, groaning as she slowly rocking side to side. Abby acknowledged the applause for her quick dispatch of The Crippler.

 

Claudia propped herself on an elbow as she tried to get up. Her eyes caught a glance from Dee , seated on the other side of the ropes from where she struggled. Dee pursed her lips and frowned in disapproval as Claudia used the ropes to stand. Her jubilant opponent moved into position behind her, and attempted to an armbar. By this time, Claudia was full of emotion, and when the lovely blonde touched her arm, she cocked the other fist back and sent it straight into Abby's chin. The tall blonde's eyes crossed momentarily as the blow sent shockwaves down to her knees. The statuesque beauty wavered and dropped alongside the ropes, her arm and head coming to rest over the middle rope.

Still full of rage, Claudia quickly moved to Abby and dropped her knee on the back of the ballerina's neck. Then, grabbing the top rope Claudia ground Abby's neck into the rope, effectively choking the semi-conscious girl. After a five count from the Margo, acting as the referee, Claudia grabbed a handful of hair and yanked Abby from the ropes and back into the ring.

 

The vindictive love-struck girl smiled through the ropes at Dee , and stalked her struggling opponent who was trying to push herself up to a sitting position. With another handful of hair, Claudia yanked Abby's head back and whispered as she glanced at the clock, “Now we're going to see if you have 22 minutes in you, princess.” Shoving Abby's head forward, Claudia raised her right foot and repeatedly stomped Abby back down to the mat. As Abby cowered, Claudia stepped alongside her surprised opponent and dropped her knee onto the beauty queen--square in the middle of her back. Abby gasped, and kicked the mat feebly with her toes.

 

Wasting no time, Claudia rolled Abby over to her stomach and this time planted both her knees in the middle of Abby's back; kneeling on the screaming ballerina. Abby kicked and pounded the mat harder with her fists. But, Claudia ignored the obvious pain she was delivering to Abby and cupped the chin of the beautiful blonde with her left hand. Repositioning herself for more comfort on the her opponent's bending back, Claudia pulled and tugged mercilessly on Abby's head, trying to bend Abby back far enough to face the ceiling. The cruel backbreaker went on for 30 seconds before Claudia released Abby's chin abruptly, splattering the pretty wrestler back to the mat. , Claudia sought approval from her lover in the audience before shifting herself and sitting on Abby's back, facing the long opaque white legs that slowly kicked and jabbed the mat. Grabbing both ankles, Claudia slid her hands toward the knees, tucking Abby's feet under her arms. Beaming one more time to Dee . Claudia leaned backward, picking the long slender legs off the mat, bending the beautiful blonde in a sitting Boston Crab. The pain sent Abby into hysterics as her legs and lower back are trapped in the torturous hold. Abby's screams filed the gym, but roar from the crowd almost drowned them as patrons were shouting for more. Dee was among the many who stood and applauded the cute chubby redhead as she bent forward and leaned backward, working the hold on her opponent's tender back.

 

Knowing her mentor and lover as she did, Claudia knew that torturing this ballerina was what Dee came to see. So, after a minute of spine bending agony, Claudia released the whimpering beauty queen, letting her long legs crash to the mat in painful thud. Claudia stood and stepped over the blonde to straddle her back. Reaching down, snaring both elbows, the angry redhead pulled back on Abby's arms, sliding her hands to a comfortable position on Abby's wrists. The blonde beauty queen screamed from the pain in her shoulders, but Claudia lifted her off the mat and pressed her boot into the middle of the Abby's back, driving the helpless blonde back to the canvas. Abby's screams reach a new pitch as she was rocked and stomped into the mat by Claudia's bow and arrow. Long legs curled upward from the pain, but Abby was helpless to do much more than kick the mat and hope the pain would stop soon. Abby desperately did not want this match to end as painfully as her debut under the skillful hands of the Black Pearl. But, Abby's fortitude and spunk waned to the pain and crunching sounds in her back.

 

Claudia despised the beautiful rookie and the audience began to see how much she enjoyed torturing Abby, who kept asking, what was going on. Once again, Claudia stole a glance at Dee, seeking reclamation while she controlled the beautiful screaming blonde. Dee smiled back approvingly as she realized that Claudia was doing this for her. But, Dee was dreaming of torturing this natural face in the ring, herself! Claudia decided she had had enough of this hold, and would really make this rookie scream in a camel clutch. When Claudia released the arms of the struggling blonde, she dropped Abby like a sack of potatoes. But, despite the pain, Abby knew she needed to do something soon. She could see that more than 16 minutes remained in the match and she could not stand to suffer again in another painful hold. Rolling to her side, Abby reached for Claudia's leg as she stood above her. Claudia felt Abby moving out of position, and tried to regain control of the squirming blonde. But, Abby's hold on Claudia's leg proved to be just enough to send the redhead stumbling backward as she struggle to keep her balance. Once Claudia fell, Abby rolled away from her tormentor but struck back by kicking her left foot straight out at Claudia's forehead, striking the stunned girl just above her eyes.

 

Abby finally had her chance to reverse the match, as the redhead fell backward into the ropes, holding her forehead. Rolling to her knees, Abby tenderly touching her sore back and stood. With Claudia fighting off the effects of the kick on the ropes, Abby met there, and jammed a knee lift into Claudia for retribution. Claudia clutched at her tummy and gasped as she rolled half a turn along the ropes, and now faced the audience. Abby quickly came up alongside her reeling foe, and jabbed a knee into her lower back. With Claudia half hanging over the second rope, her upper back made an inviting target for Abby to kneel and take the 5-count. Stepping off the choking redhead, Abby grabbed the middle rope and yanked her opponent backward into the ring again. Now, Abby was on the assault, stamping barefoot over to her fallen foe. Grabbing a handful hair, Abby accepted the warning from the ref as she lifted Claudia to her feet with a painful tug of her hair. Fastening a firm reverse headlock on Claudia, Abby turned a quarter of a turn, and grabbed the back of Claudia's suit before dropping backward onto her butt, dragging the helpless cherub with her, and planting Claudia's head firmly into the mat.

 

Abby had reversed the match successfully, and crowd rose again applauding loudly for the gorgeous rookie who suddenly had Claudia semi-conscious and in complete control on the mat. Glancing on the clock, Abby was quite pleased to see that fourteen more minutes remained in this match unless Dee tossed Claudia's towel into the ring. Rolling to her feet, Abby found Dee smiling and conversing with Yuki seated next to her. But, Dee glanced up and straight at Abby as she began to set Claudia up for a punishing hold that Abby hoped would really teach the little redhead a lesson. Abby knew Dee would not interfere as soon as the larger woman flashed a quick smile back at her.

 

Abby walked over to Claudia, who was incoherently mumbling and barely stirring facedown on the mat. Fastening one of Claudia's legs around and through both of her own, Abby held the suede ankle boot of Claudia's right leg as she turned herself around so that Claudia would flop over onto her back. Claudia was oblivious to what was happening to her as she flopped over onto her back, arms splaying out to her sides like dead limbs on a tree. Dropping backwards onto her butt with Claudia's right leg securely entwined with her own, Abby moved her opponent's other lifeless leg into position. A subconscious grimace contorted the semi-conscious girl's lips as Abby patted Claudia's left shin, to bring her back from dreamland.

 

The bright lights made Claudia blink and squint, but new pain in her trapped legs made her lift her head to see why she could not move them. Cynically smiling back, Abby said, “Well, well, look what I have for you, sleepy-head.” The sight of her legs crisscrossed into a figure four leglock made the pain synapses register, and the cute redhead let out a wale as her hands lifted to the sides of her face.

Abby slapped Claudia's boot back and forth saying, “Hope you're comfortable, you've almost ten minutes of this left.” The pain only grew worse now that Claudia was coming out of her stupor. The redhead would glance at the clock, tug her own hair and lay back down, screaming and squirming, trying to fight off the pain in her trapped legs. Abby reached behind herself and lifted her own butt off the mat to leverage more pressure from her long legs into the shorter pair of her howling opponent. Claudia howled in agony as Abby swung their entwined legs from side to side, punishing her further. As Claudia propped herself up on one elbow to pleadingly look over at Dee, Abby removed the beige ankle boot from the tiny foot twisting in her lap. Abby smiled at Claudia and twisted the stocking clad foot as far as to the right as it would turn, sending the redhead back down, bawling and pounding the mat. The clock seemed to move slower and slower for Claudia. There was still more than 8 minutes left in the match, and she couldn't take any more of the pain the vengeful blonde was administering to her legs.

 

The crowd saw the pain Claudia was in when Abby began bouncing in the hold. They feared the young rookie did not know the damage she could be causing to that knee and ankle. They shouted for the towel to be thrown in before something happened to Claudia's leg. But, Dee defiantly glanced at the clock and without any expression returned her gaze to her screaming friend. Deep down, she was really enjoying this too much to see it end. Abby just happily continued to work the little foot, feeling no remorse for the girl who tried to break her back earlier. Claudia covered her eyes and sobbed, realizing her lover would not bail her out. Margo looked on, feeling completely useless as the referee at this point, she tried to console Claudia who repeatedly screamed for someone to stop the pain. But nothing could be done since submissions did not count and it was Claudia who insisted on the rules. Abby knew Claudia would be doing the same if the situation were reversed. So, to elicit more screams, and to prompt Dee to finally toss in the towel, Abby began bending individual toes back. Claudia went hysteric, frantically pounded the mat and tugged at her own hair as her screams filled the small room. Someone at ringside removed her blouse and tossed it into the ring, but Margo continued to watch Dee turn a deaf ear to the maniacal screams. With more than 6 minutes remaining in the match, Dee reluctantly stood and tossed the white towel into the ring, much to everyone's delight, and Claudia's relief. Margo instantly leaned forward and tapped Abby on the shoulder, “let go, let go of the hold, she's done.” Abby released the sobbing girl's legs and stood as Margo raised her right hand high in the air. Impressed with the new rookie, the crowd cheer enthusiastically for Abby. But, one woman applauded politely and continued to dream her crack at Abby in the ring. Abby's confidence soared as she accepted the enthusiastic applause. The sinister smile on Dee's face bespoke of her intentions as she quietly watched the leggy jubilant rookie reach over the top rope and accept personal congratulations from her friends.
