The walking dead Fanfic: The Estate

23

Mason stands at the door and hears Konnor.

"i don't know what we can do."

Mason walks to the window and peeks out the blinds, he stares at the group of men standing outside the house and hears Konnor again.

"Mason-"

Mason puts up his hand quieting down Konnor and takes a deep breath. He closes the blind and walks around the house eyeing the living room as he begins talking.

"your like my brother Konnor."

Mason stops at a recliner and sits down into it staring over Konnor and whispers.

"do you remember when I saved your life?"

Konnor stares down at the floor and Mason laughs to himself. He stays quiet and eyes over Konnor as he repeats himself changing his wording.

"do you remember all the times I saved your life?"

Konnor remains quiet and Mason laughs to himself as he stands up. He walks over to Konnor and looks up to him.

"people, they tend to underestimate me. Hell, I'm a small guy, I'm a quiet guy, you Konnor, you once underestimated me, remember?"

Mason steps a bit closer and whispers.

"we, are a lot alike, hell, I consider you like a brother Konnor, we have been out there, the things we did, for the people we worked for."

Konnor looks down at Mason and Mason reaches out placing his hand on Konnor upper arm.

"but, you are also the same person who was responsible for my brother dying."

Mason grips Konnor's arm and whispers to him. 

"are we on the same page?"

Konnor looks down at Mason's hand and around the room as Konnor nods.

"we are."

Mason takes his hand off of Konnor and nods his head looking around the living room.

"they don't know. they don't know what is out there, what we have seen, what we survived. They don't know what's coming for them."

Konnor interrupts.

"neither does Negan."

Mason laughs again to himself and Konnor looks around the room in silence. Mason nods his head.

"they will come, they will bring walkers and they will kill everyone."

Konnor nods his head agreeing and Mason smiles.

"i don't plan to be here for that, but until we can leave we need to get on their side."

Mason nods his head to Konnor and goes to walk away as Konnor asks.

"what do you plan to do?"

Mason laughs to himself and stands in place as he speaks.

"what we always do Konnor."

Mason walks back up to Konnor and hits his arm and whispers to Konnor.

"just survive"

Mason walks away and out the door and eyes the people gathered in a small group. He smiles and nods to Rick and limps over to him. Rick looks him up and down and asks.

"how's your leg?"

Mason looks down nodding his head.

"busted up pretty bad, but I have had worse."
