The walking dead Fanfic: The Estate

25

Mason stands behind a cage and eyes Rick through the bars. Rick stares him over and yells.

"who are you?"

Mason laughs to himself.

"It doesn't matter anymore. None of it matters Rick. They will come and they will kill all of you."

Rick bangs the bars and Mason steps back as Rick asks

"who are they?"

Mason shakes his head, remaining quiet and Rick kicks the cage

"answer me!"

Mason shakes his head staring down Rick as he pushes his head between the bars

"You don't get it, with your little dose of normal here. living in homes, eating on tables, living like it's okay."

Rick remains quiet and Mason pushes forward against the bars as he whispers

"it will never be okay"

A voice from behind Mason yells

"shut up mason!"

Mason glances back at Konnor and Rick looks by Mason at Konnor.

"what about you? do you have anything to say?"

Konnor stands up and walks up next to Mason as he stares down rick

"Negan, he is nothing compared to what's out there. you shouldn't fuck with these people. they don't negotiate, and there is no humanity. Rick I don't dislike you but your not ready."

Mason laughs and Konnor looks to him and then back to rRck

"you may think Mason has lost it but he's the sanest person in all this shit."

Mason laughs again and Konnor glances to him then back to Rick speaking

"I'm telling you that you don't know what they can do."

Mason laughs and shoves Konnor

"that's part of the fun Konnor the moment you realize your absolutely fucked is when it's too late."

Rick ignores mason and turns to Konnor

"your own wife turned on you Konnor she said you're loyal to Negan."

Konnor shakes his head disagreeing

"this is the fucking apocalypse rick. Negan has his uses and that's exactly why I'm loyal. Just like why Mason is loyal. we get our share and we know Negan isn't all that bad."

Rick yells at them

"he killed my people!"

Mason laughs and shakes the bars yelling

"join the club rick, Negan has killed a lot of fucking people but he does so for a purpose. that other group it's just fun to them and they now have their eyes on you."

Konnor reaches out of the bars towards rick

"my real name is Konnor. I can help you-"

Mason yells interrupting Konnor

"lying mother fucker. the only thing he will help is himself."

Konnor shakes his head disagreeing

"I know what needs to be done. I was a part of them for a long time. they will recognize me, they will listen to me."

Mason turns to Konnor and remains quiet as Konnor glances towards him. Konnor turns back to Rick.

"please Rick. I have been a part of your community now. I have seen your good people. Let me help you."
