From Charybdis To Scylla

Unread post by Bearhug Goddess »

Previous thread...

Now that she was alone in the ring, Ambre celebrated her victory. She let Danica and her brother leave after her words... But she was still thinking about her opponent's face and reaction. Danica wasn't that bad, she hadn't rejected her hand or even taken advantage of the Frenchwoman's lowered guard to get revenge for this defeat... She had to talk to her again at all costs and offer her a new match!

She left the ring a few minutes later, walking towards her locker room without hurrying and noticing the few staff present in the backstage... Maybe something important was happening or the evening was starting to end?.. She still remained focused on what she could improve, she had won this match Ambre always sought to learn, it was the key to becoming better over time...

... But as she walked through the corridors of the backstage, a silhouette all too familiar appeared in front of her. A woman with pronounced curves, tall but rather strong, middle-aged but rather healthy... The mother of the woman she had just faced and one of the wrestlers who had beaten her during her debut, Lydia Donelle!

Ambre also wanted her revenge on this woman, although their match had been close she was forced to give up by submission... And she remembered well the look Lydia gave her during her victory! But it had changed, Ambre was able to mature after a year at LAW and became stronger... Maybe like her daughter, Lydia was hiding a good side too?... She approached the matriarch and stood straight, she had to appear serious and confident without being haughty!

Lydia was a woman of imposing stature, not just from her height, but her demeanor and intensity in her eyes, she was someone that made her intentions very clear with a single glance, and as any of the ring crew in the area could tell she was all but telling them to steer clear!

Now Lydia was just here to watch her precious daughter's match after doing a photo shoot... but she wasn't expecting nor appreciated that she would have had to watch said daughter lose.

Especially to someone that Lydia herself had defeated, borderline humiliated almost a year ago. So naturally, being the fierce mother that she was... she wanted a word with the Black Pearl and now after so long the two were face to face once again.

Little Miss Brault... It has. Enough that it seems you've improved a fair bit... Even if it was barely enough to defeat my daughter." Lydia said in a soft yet steely voice, masquerading the snide backhanded comment directed at Ambre without a ounce of fear or hesitation in her voice or face.

The atmosphere was... Rather unique and weird. Ambre has never been very good at reading atmospheres but she trusted what she felt, and at that moment she didn't know at all what Lydia wanted and was preparing!

"I have to... My goal of becoming a champion one day is still, and will always be, relevant!"

Ambre spoke seriously and proudly, if she had learned something from talking with champions and former champions it was to be at least a little proud of what she had done and her goals. It even helped her gain self-confidence.

"Danica was excellent, she caught me a little off guard with her smothers but she hits well! I would like to face her again but first... I would like to face you!.."

She lowered her eyes and head slightly and spoke a little more quietly.

“If you would like it..!”

Standing just a few feet away from the woman who defeated her daughter made Lydia want to turn her nose up in dismissal but she couldn't. Not out of respect or anything like that mind you. But rather out of principal. Danica was no slouch in the ring, and while she chalked Ambre's victory to other factors, she still won, and that was something that Lydia could acknowledge.

"Well you still talk rather big no?" Lydia asked in a haughty tone before continuing. "You're praise for my daughter is appreciated, but she made several mistakes she shouldn't have, I believe that's why you won.. But congratulations none the less on capitalizing on said mistakes." Lydia said in a way that didn't quite give the girl full props for the win, but did acknowledge that she did in fact do so. At Ambre's next words though... Lydia couldn't help but smile smugly.

"Ah so polite. How cute... You beat the progeny and think you can handle the origin.. even knowing how out matched you were before..." Lydia said coldly, as if she was dismissing the challenge and Ambre but.. "Though I can respect some gumption... so fine. If that's what you desire I'll take you on again..." Lydia said softly, pausing as she stepped closer, reaching her hand out and running a hand through Ambre's hair, twirling some of it around her finger as she did so before finishing. "On the condition that we make it a wager match."

Unlike Lydia, Ambre wasn't at all the kind of person who sought to impose herself... But despite that, the Frenchwoman seemed touched by the veteran who accepted her challenge, although she spoke with a rather cold air. The Frenchwoman raised her eyes and her head to look Lydia in the eyes again and slightly raise her eyebrows in astonishment.

"A wager match?... Hmmm..."

Ambre was rather hesitant... She had participated in different types of matches but never in this kind of match... This kind of match, just like the POW or other matches where the loser had a wager, was a type of match still a little new for the Frenchwoman... But if Lydia proposed this kind of thing, it was surely because she was confident of a second victory!

The Frenchwoman straightened up completely and put a hand on her hip before finally answering.

“Hmm, that’s fine with me, what are your conditions ?”

Lydia was intrigued, this much could be said for her in this position right now. Ambre had fought her once before and lost badly, so naturally Lydia was confident that she'd win again but at the same time... where was the fun at that? No she wanted a bit more out of a rematch with Ambre. "If I win... you bow at my feet and admit that I'm better than you." Lydia said with her arms crossed under her chest, pushing it up just a bit more and making herself a tad more imposing towards Ambre, waiting to see how the heavyweight would react while also putting the ball in her court to say what she'd want if she won.

Ambre suspected it, if Lydia wanted to set conditions for the loser it was to humiliate the Frenchwoman! The Frenchwoman sighed slightly upon hearing her bet if she lost this rematch, obviously it was going to be humiliating but this time, Ambre was determined to win this match and did not show herself impressed!

She looked at her future opponent with a determined and serious look, she was determined to win this match and prove that she was much stronger... But above all worthy of pursuing her dreams! An idea of ​​a bet came to her mind if she won this match and she hastened to announce it to Lydia.

"In this case, if I win you will have to admit that I am worthy of being champion!..."

Lydia had made a bet with Ambre, one with rather high stakes for the girl should she lose. Humiliating herself admitting to Lydia that she was better should she lose, which would remove even the slightest possibility of who was better between them, and thus, any possibility of a third bout.

Ambre's response for what she wanted made Lydia quirk an eyebrow up. "I see, rather simple but fine. I accept." Lydia said while extending her hand out to agree to it with a shake.

Of course should Ambre accept than Lydia would use the shared grip to pull Ambre in while pulling her other arm up to try and blindsided her with a lariat!

Lydia and Ambre seemed to have found an agreement for their next match and to make it official, a handshake was necessary. The Frenchwoman accepted the handshake with Lydia but as soon as their fingers intertwined, the Black Pearl felt a force pulling her forward! It was not good, obviously Lydia was going to take advantage of the little guard that Ambre had to attack her and the Frenchwoman quickly found herself on the ground after taking a lariat head on.

"Gaah!.."

Ambre sighed deeply, her chest hurt and the fatigue from the match she had spent was still present... She did not expect to fight backstage!
