The walking dead Fanfic: The Estate

26

Presley stands in front of the cage and eyes Mason and Konnor sitting together. She presses against the cage and Konnor sits still staring her down. She stares back at Konnor and he presses his head back into the wall as she whispers.

"tell me."

She presses against the cage gripping the bars in her hands as Konnor looks back at her remaining quiet. Mason laughs out and pushes up to his feet. He strolls over to the bars and grips them pressing his body against them as he stares Presley in the eyes. He shakes the cage sending out the loud echo as he laughs to himself. He stops and turns back to Konnor as he yells.

"your wife."

He stops himself and laughs again as he repeats.

"your wife."

Mason shakes his finger at Konnor as he gets down to his knees and whispers

"she asked a question, Konnor."

Konnor eyes over Mason and shakes his head.

"fuck off."

Mason presses back leaning on his knees at her stares over Konnor and then looks back to Presley.

"do you know that Konnor saved my life?"

Mason smiles back to Presley and points to her.

"Did I-"

Presley interrupts him pressing against the cage

"shut the fuck up Mason."

Mason quiets down and Presley shakes the cage yelling.

"tell me!"

Konnor rubs his face and stares up to Presley.

I saw what he did. The way he talked to you, the way he hit you."

Mason turns his head sideways staring down Konnor as Konnor looks up towards Mason as he smiles.

"I won't apologize for doing what was right."

Mason leans forward and whispers.

"liar."

Konnor kicks out his leg towards Mason as Presley whispers.

"tell me what happened?"

Konnor nods his head and lies.

"he was already bitten it had been too long-"

Presley drops her hands from holding onto the cage and shakes her head again.

"no. you, you killed him."

Konnor looks down at his hands and hears the screams and sees his hands grip around Adam's neck as Mason whistles out bringing Konnor back to reality. Mason kicks his foot into Konnor's leg as he whispers.

"we all have demons we need to face-"

Konnor gets up and walks up to the bars eyeing over his wife. Presley stares back at him and slides her hand to the cage door and opens the cell. Konnor steps out and Presley raises a gun pointing it at him. He eyes over the gun and looks up to Presley smiling towards her.

"what is this?"

She grips the gun tightly in her hands and points it towards Konnor as her hands shake. He goes to step forward but she shakes her head and he presses his back into the cage. Presley speaks eyeing Konnor as she nods to him.

"get on your knees."

He grins up to her and slowly gets to his knees staring up at his wife.  Konnor glances up to Presley and smiles.
