The walking dead Fanfic: The Estate

The Estate Flashback 5

Mason sits down next to Miya who slowly packs a few things into a bag. Miya looks to Mason and he nods to her.

"Alpha thinks your weak but I want to give you a chance. She's going to be picking a second in command soon they will be called beta. There are three people up for it."

Miya glances to Mason and he nods to her.

"I need you to come with me on this supply run."

Miya stops packing and Mason nods to her.

"Konnor is out with a small group right now. If we leave now we will make it back before them. This should only take a day it is simple in and out."

Miya looks up to Mason and he leans towards her.

"he won't let you out there but you need to experience it to learn."

Mason reaches up touching Miya's face with his hand and whispers.

"he won't let you learn and it will get you killed Miya. You know I am right."

She reaches up placing her hand over his and feels the scars of the marks. Miya takes his hand in hers eyeing the marks and looks back up to him.

"why do you cut these marks?"

Mason looks down at it and eyes the marks and looks back up to Miya.

"when it gets to 20 I go home and face something I don't want to face."

Miya counts the marks and asks.

"who do you have to face?"

Mason grips her hand and leans over whispering.

"my father."

Mason leans forward kissing Miya on the lips and nods to her.

"trust me, okay?"

She nods letting go of his hand and Mason gets up motioning toward a group.

"we'll look out for each other."

They walk up towards a group and a man turns to Mason nodding.

"are you ready then?"

Mason nods to the man and the man motions off towards the woods placing on walker skin and motions to Mason who puts on his walker skin. He holds one out to Miya who does the same and motions to her.

"stay close."

They walk slowly in the group going through the woods but stop hearing the sound of rustling bushes and turns hearing voices over a radio.

"I want him home."

A man's voice replies over the radio.

"we will find him, senator."

A person whistles out and the group turn towards the conversation. Mason freezes eyeing the familiar people and turns his head sideways. He walks up to the group and one of the men holds up a gun. He whispers out to the man.

"Mason Reid."

The man brings down his gun, eyeing over Mason and goes to click his radio about to speak but someone comes up behind him stabbing him in the neck and pulling the man down into the grass. Mason stands there eyeing the man and walks over to the radio clicking it three times. A voice comes over the radio.

"roger that, all clear to the west heading east."

The other members of Mason's group start walking off towards the sound. Mason sticks back searching through the man's body. He pulls out a small picture from the man's pocket of him and his father. He crumbles it up and sticks it into his pocket. He turns his knife jabbing it into the man's skull and whisper.
