To the Beat of Wings - Phoenix Vandrake vs Anna D'Amore (D)

[Malkavia]

Severa would be disappointed—because she was still moving, still squirming, like a worm. Phoenix should have been able to finish her by now, to eliminate this fucking insect. She felt like an insect herself watching her.

The dancer had her hand on the bottom rope. A simple enough plan formed in Phoenix's mind, which she would attempt to execute. Grab that hand. Lift her to the apron. Stomp and kick against her face. One, two, three, each stronger than the last. Then drag her to the center of the ring, drop, and hook the leg. One, two, three, bitch.

Phoenix moved to grab the hand by the wrist.

"UGHH ARGHH OOFF" Anna was kicked 3 times by Phoenix and then dragged into the ring, only to drop herself on the Italian woman.. "OOFF" That hurted But right now Anna couldn't do anything except for begin Phoenix mannequin...

[Malkavia]

Phoenix dropped to her knees, hooked the leg, and began the pinfall. Outwardly, she sneered. Inwardly, her heart seemed to quit beating as she squeezed Anna’s shoulder, holding her breath as she waited for the magic word three and all it would mean for her evening.

The referee slid to the mat and pounded the canvas much too slowly for Phoenix. Half of her wanted to strangle her as well.

”ONE!”

[Albentes]

"TWO!" Anna started to hear the ref count... And It was already at two! She summonned all the strenght She had left, She had to kick out or It would be the end! "NGHHHH NO!" After the no Anna somehow managed to kick out, hoping that Phoenix would get mad to the ref to have a distraction and setup for punishing the bitch once for all!

[Malkavia]

The kick put Phoenix on her rump, where she sat. Thin-lipped. A long pause stretched as she sucked in a breath, heard the audience cheer, and stared at Anna.

Fury was a righteous fire. God's fire.

Part of Phoenix wanted to spin her fist around and smash the referee across her face. Phoenix had not really internalized the looks on the ref. She was blonde, thin. She had muscle, but like a runner. Skinny.

There were, alas. Rules. Phoenix didn't mug asshats on the street, and she didn't grab referees and pull them into a DDT. The effort to resist the temptation, however, clenched her hands into fists while she breathed and waited to see what Anna would do next.

[Albentes]

"Ughh..." Anna was dazed on the mat but was slowly getting up thanks to the ropes, she hoped that Phoenix wouldn't instanly charge at her so she could attempt something to lead for a good finisher to stop the angry bitch once for all.

"I... will not lose... (Io... non perderò..) Anna said while looking at Phoenix with determination in her eyes, she wanted to show that she could still going even after all the pain she had. Her body was very weak at this point but she gambled all in phoenix rage hoping that she would charge at her to intercept the bigger girl with a kick into her face to prepare her for a good finisher from her repertory!

[Malkavia]

"Won't you now?"

Phoenix took a deep breath, then spit on the mat. She looked less overtly angry than before— she wasn't clenching her fists or pacing the ring. But there was a simmering something in the back of her eye.

"Right now, to me? You look like the most pathetic bag of shit I've seen this whole match, and you, friend, started that bar real fucking low."

With that, she charged, aiming a knee at Anna's face—only to take the kick to the face instead! She staggered—stunned.

[Albentes]

"You insulted me through the whole match i'm tired of it now get the fuck up!" (Mi hai insultato attraverso tutto il match sono stanca di questo, adesso ALZATI!) Anna would go to the corner and wait Phoenix to get on her fours to get up only to deliver her finisher to the back of her head, a Curb stomp!

"You will go down right now!" (Andrai al tappeto in questo momento!) Anna was squatting into the corner waiting the bitch to get up and was getting cheered by the crowd because they know that if that landed it would be the end!

[Malkavia]

Her fist slammed the mat. Inside her, a wildfire was raging, which was obvious from the way she shook as she moved. "TRY IT." Her leg shook, wrist trembled. Her breath was hot like steam on the mat. LAW! said the logo on the mat, and she loathed every word of it. Loathed the color, the blue of the mat, the black in the letter, loathed the crowd and its spinning echoing roar, and most of all loathed her opponent's unceasing talk talk talk. She to her knees and wrenched her head towards Anna in a snarl. "Just fucking try it you mealy-mouthed prancing little—"

[Albentes]

"FINE you are done!" (BENE Sei finita!) Anna started running, She arrived ad Phoenix backhead,jumped and hitted her with the foot slamming Her head into the mat hard! "And now stay down Forever. (E adesso rimani giù per sempre.) But Anna had an idea instead to ho for a simple pin,Phoenix was throwing insults through all the match so It was time to shut Her up. "I Just have a funny idea..." (Ho giusto un idea divertente.." Anna flipped Phoenix and layed on top of Her blocking Her whole body with Hers, and decided to smother the bitch! While the ref was counting...

"ONE!!.....
