Fighting for Freedom

Chapter 2 – The Exchange Student-2

Petro gives her father a confused look and he shrugs his shoulders again. She follows Dominie Botha into the church and he takes her to one of the offices in the back. He asks her to sit and gives her a long quizzical look. ‘So do you want to tell me more?’

Petro is still confused. ‘I don’t know what this is about.’

‘Your mother tells me that you have been wrestling around with another girl and that she thinks that you may have lesbian feelings for this girl.’

‘We were just horsing around. There were no feelings, she just pinned me to the ground because I made fun of her.’

‘Your body is a temple of God and you should not expose it to sins like wrestling. Wrestling is a man’s sport and it is not meant for women as women’s bodies are frail and God did not design them for physical activities such as wrestling.’

Petro is frustrated to the point that she can no longer keep the tears back. Dominie Botha sees this as a sign that he is getting through to her and he carries on. ‘The Bible is very specific about how sinful lesbian feelings are. A woman should find a man and marry him in order to raise a family. That is God’s will. Women should never have feelings for each other. That is the will of the Devil. You are young and it is easy to be led astray by the Devil, so you have to make sure that you do not get yourself into situations where he is able to take control of your mind.’

He waits a few seconds to make sure that everything has sunk in. The fact that tears are still rolling down Petro’s cheeks is a clear sign to him that he saved another soul. He prays for her soul before she is allowed to leave. Petro glares at her mother and when they are in the car she is no longer able to suppress her emotions. ‘How dare you tell lies to the Dominie about me?’

Her parents are both shocked with this outburst. They are not used to their children challenging their authority. Gert looks at Petro. ‘Apologise to your mother. She was just looking out for you. You have to respect you elders and especially your parents.’

Petro glares at her mother for a long time before she obeys her father. ‘Sorry Mother.’

Elna has a smug expression on her face and she is very happy with herself for making sure that her daughter is back on the straight and narrow.

Anke is totally flummoxed by the commotion their little wrestling match caused. Elna has been watching them like a hawk and Petro only managed to tell her about what happened at church in the afternoon when her parent went to their room for an afternoon rest. She listens intently while Petro tells her about the Dominie's speech and her frustrations at not being allowed to do anything that her mother or the church has labelled as being a sin. She gives Petro a hug when she goes silent. 'Do you want to see me fight?'

'What?'

'I have a video of my three fights for the company. Do you want to watch it?'

Petro really wants to watch it, but she knows that they will almost never be alone in the house to get an opportunity to watch the video without somebody catching them. 'Yes, but my parents are in the house.'

Anke winks at her. 'They are keeping each other busy in the bedroom. They will not bother us for a while. We can watch it without sound.'

Petro has not considered that her parents may be having s*x during their Sunday afternoon rest periods and the thought freaks her out a little, but Anke is right, they will not come out of the room for another few hours. 'Ok, but we have to be very quiet.'

Petro pops the tape into the video machine after sliding the volume button all the way to the bottom to ensure that there will be no sound when the video starts to play. The video starts with the name of the production company and then the title of the video, 'Anke (18) vs Petsi (21)- 3 Way Contest' in large white letters. It cuts to a man standing inside a boxing ring saying something. A woman enters the ring and acknowledges the small crowd watching the contests and takes her place in one of the corners of the ring. The man talks again and then Anke enters the ring and takes her place in the opposite corner of the ring. She looks tense and barely acknowledges the crowd. The man talks again and both women remove their robes, revealing their beautiful athletic topless bodies. Their breasts are both about a cup size C and Petro can't help but to notice their erect n*****s. She looks at Anke in shock as she did not expect that the fights would be topless and she blushes when Anke looks back at her and Anke gives her a huge grin. The two fighters walk to the middle of the ring and grab each other's arms, trying to get a hold on each other's bodies. They struggle for position for a while before Petsi manages to grab Anke around her neck and hip tosses her to the canvas. Anke pushes her feet against the canvas and pushes her lower body up, trying to dislodge Petsi, but Petsi hangs on and grabs hold of Anke arms and pins them above her head. The referee starts to count, but Anke breaks the hold by rolling her upper body to the left. The fighters remain in this position for a while and Anke manages to avoid a pin by rolling her upper body every time the referee starts to count. After a number of attempts to pin Anke, Petsi shifts her body to ensure that she puts all her weight on Anke's upper body. This time Anke is unable to shift enough and the referee counts to five before Petsi gets up and helps Anke up as well. The referee lifts Petsi's arm and 'Winner Petsi' appears on the screen. The women return to their corners and two other girls help them to put on boxing gloves. They also towel them down and help them to fasten their hair again. The referee says something again and the women walk to the middle of the ring. They touch gloves and start to circle each other. Petsi lands stiff left jabs to Anke's face and Anke tries to punch her back with wild swinging punches, but Petsi easily avoids these. She continues to land jabs for a while before she catches Anke with a hard straight right to the left eye. Anke steps back and almost loses her balance. She shakes the punch off though and storms forward with both fists flying wildly. This time she catches Petsi on the cheek and on her forehead. Petsi dances back and lands a brutal right hook to Anke left breast as she runs after her. The video shows a slow motion instant replay and Petro flinches as she sees how Anke's breast is violently forced to the centre of her chest before it bounces back to its normal position. The video carries on at normal speed and shows Anke covering her breast with her gloves, Petsi quickly moves in and punches her in the face with a left-right combination before the referee steps in and starts to count. He counts to eight and asks Anke something. She nods her head and Petsi storms in, landing a barrage of punches to Anke's face and upper body. Petro notices at least two punches directly to Anke's breasts and she wonders how Anke managed to take these punches without bursting into tears. The referee jumps in again and once again counts to eight. When Anke nods that she is fine, he allows the fight to continue. Petsi storms in again, but this time Anke swings her arms before Petsi punches her and she land two hard punches to Petsi's face before Petsi catches her with a few well placed punches to her face. Anke is in trouble again and the referee jumps in again and Petro thinks that the fight is over, but realises that the bell has rung for the end of the first round when a topless ring card girls steps into the ring with a sign showing that the second round is about to start. Anke is more careful this time and tries to use her jab to keep Petsi at a distance. This works well and the women trade jabs for a while before Petsi lands a hard uppercut to Anke's chin. She steps back without any balance and only the ropes behind her stops her from falling over. Petsi rushes in and is merciless as she lands a number of punches to Anke's face and body before she drops to the canvas. The referee does not bother to count, but instead swings his arms to signal that the fight is over. Anke's second helps her back to her corner and starts to remove Anke's gloves as she sits down on her corner stool. The camera focuses on her left eye, which is turning black and then to her breasts, showing bruises on both of them. After a few minutes, the referee calls the two women back to the centre of the ring and then instructs them to fight. Petsi lands a few slaps to Anke's side. Petro can see red marks form immediately and realises that these slaps had a lot of venom. Anke throws a few slaps of her own before she grabs Petsi's hair and manages to pull her head down, bending Petsi over. Petsi unsuccessfully tries to grab hold of Anke's hair as well and has to settle for some slaps to Anke's thighs. Anke is in control for the first time during any of the contests and she makes sure to capitalise on this. She yanks on Petsi's hair as hard as she can and also digs her nails into Petsi's scalp. Petsi seems to be out of ideas and only lands the occasional slap to Anke's thigh for a minute or so, but then she suddenly forces her body downwards, pulling Anke to the canvas with her. This move causes two hands full of her to be ripped from her scalp, but it also breaks the hold on her hair and she uses her superior wrestling skills to pin Anke down. As soon as Petsi has control over Anke she sinks one hand into Anke's hair and uses the other to slap her breasts. Anke quickly covers her breasts with her arms, forcing Petsi to focus her slaps on Anke's thighs and sides. As soon as Anke moves her arms to protect her side, Petsi grabs hold of her left breast and sinks her nails into the soft flesh. Anke yells out in pain and grabs Petsi's arms and pulls it away from her breast. Petsi's nails leave angry red scratch marks on Anke's breast and tears in Anke's eyes. She fights on for a while, but Petro can see that her heart is no longer in the fight. Petsi releases her hold on Anke's hair and grabs Anke's right hand and forces Anke's arm under her left knee before she sinks her fingers into Anke's right breast. Anke struggles to get her arm free for a few moments, but has to release Anke's other arm to free her right breast from attack. The moment she does this, Petsi sinks her nails into Anke's left breast again and she screams out in pain again. Although the sound is off, Petro can feel the intensity of the scream and she is relieved to see the referee break up the fight. Anke stops the tape and quickly removes it from the video cassette recorder.

The girls do not talk about the fights before they are far enough away from the house to ensure that nobody can hear them. They sit down on the wall of one of the dams and Petro does not know what to ask first. 'When did you do this?'

'About a month ago. The girl I fought is my friend. She invited me to watch her match for the company and when her opponent did not pitch up, she asked me if I wanted to give wrestling a try. I agreed and the producer then suggested that I try all three formats of fights they produce. Petsi promised me that she would go easy on me, but she forgot about this promise in the heat of the battle.'

'Are you still friends?'

'Yes, I was mad at her for a while, but we made up.'

'Will you do it again?'

'Yes, the producer asked me to fight for them on a regular basis when I return to Germany.'

'Have your breasts recovered yet?'

'Yes, they were very sore for a few days, but they are healed now.'

'How does it feel to get punched in your breasts?'

'Very painful, but the mauling and scratches were probably worse.'

'Why did you fight topless? Were you not embarrassed to be topless in front of the guys?'

'Men love to watch us fight topless and the videos apparently sell better when the girls fight topless. Many women are topless on our beaches, so it is not strange for me to be topless in front of other people.'

'What will your parents say if they find out about these fights?'

'They know about it. My father is not too keen for me to do it, but he said it is my decision whether I want to fight again. My mother told me that she has wrestled other women a few times as well. My father likes to watch female fights and she has done it to entertain him. She said that getting paid for it is a bonus.'

'My parents would kill me if I did anything like that. You saw how my mother reacted when you pinned me.'

'Is it something you would like to do?'

'I would love to wrestle, but I am not sure about the boxing and the other fight.'

'Catfight.'

'What?'

'It is called a catfight. I will wrestle you if you want to try it.'

'My parents will never allow it.'

'We should find a place where they will not be able to see us.'

Petro thinks about this for a while. We should hide your video. If my mother sees it she will go ballistic.
