>>20506120As Cactus makes her way down the ramp, Delilah slowly crawls across the ring and uses the ropes to pull herself to her feet. Her entire body was sore and trembling. Her heart was racing. She could feel the moisture of her own blood on her face.
That match and everything about it was unlike anything Delilah had ever experienced. Certainly a whole level of brutality beyond her previous experience with hardcore wrestling. It’s what she expected of an encounter with Cactus Jane.
But expectation and the actual experience are two very different things indeed. And despite Delilah expecting the kind of brutality that led to her both using a sledgehammer on another human being, repeatedly at that… and then being on the receiving end of the same treatment, her preparations were not enough to secure her a victory.
However, Delilah knew she had lasted longer against the fearsome and animalistic creature that was Cactus Jane than anyone expected. Longer than she herself had expected. Maybe, just maybe, this performance would be enough to impress Cassie Kade.
Delilah is unsteady on her feet as she tries to leave the ring. Her various aches and pains only seem to intensify as the adrenaline fades, leaving her with an increased awareness of how vulnerable she is in this moment. Should any of Cassie’s many enemies, or someone just looking to make a name for themselves chose this moment to attack her, she’d have little chance of defending herself or escaping.
