The walking dead Fanfic: The Estate

55

Rick and his group stops at the gates of Alexandria and eyes the walkers lining the road as they approach the gates. He glances to Michonne who nods her head gripping the hilt of her blade but the gates open and Daryl comes out with a group and stares down rick as Rick asks.

"what happened?"

Daryl nods to rick looking him over as he comments.

"Carl, they took carl..."

Rick stands there staring down Dary l as Daryl remains quiet and Rick asks.

"what happened?"

Daryl stands there but Eugene walks up next to him and comments staring over rick.

"they knew everything rick, every spot in this place, every person here they knew everything we would do before we did it. they planned this and they took carl"

Euegene stands there but Daryl smiles as he speaks firm.

"but we got one..."

Rick nos his head and Daryl comments.

"its lewis."

Michonne grips her katana and Daryl nods his head.

"they have been playing us this whole time Rick just waiting"

Rick follows Daryl to the infirmary and opens the door. He eyes Lewis cuffed to the bed and eyes his bleeding leg as Daryl nods to rick.

"i caught him with an arrow and they just left him.."

Daryl comments staring over lewis.

"some friends you have huh?"

Lewis shakes his head disagreeing.

"they aren't my friends they left me because they didn't care and this wasn't the plan."

Rick stares down Lewis and demands.

"so what was the plan?"

Lewis glances over Rick as he comments.

"fuck you. you didn't even help me when those guys took me no fucking decency and now you want my help? You left me with them and you want my help?"

Rick takes out his gun and places it to Lewis's head as he demands.

"I'm not asking you will help us..."

Lewis smiles up at Rick and whispers

"do it"

Lewis pushes his head against the gun as he stares up to rick angrily and yells at him

"do it!"

Rick stares over Lewis and Lewis sits back staring the gun down as Lewis laughs.

"i'm the only chance you son has and I'm not helping you."

Daryl steps forward as he stares Lewis over and motions to rick.

"we can make him talk..."

Lewis laughs staring Daryl over and glances back to rick.

"you don't scare me you have no idea what I've been through. none of you are scary to me but out there the things I have seen there's no room for nice anymore."

Daryl goes to walk forward but Rick stops him and stares over Lewis.

"Mason agreed to help us."

Lewis stares down Rick and Rick nods to him as he takes out a piece of paper and shows it to Lewis. Lewis eyes it over and Rick comments staring it down.

"what does the symbol on the paper mean?"

Rick runs his finger over it and Lewis eyes it over as he feels a flood of fear run through his body and turns looking the other way as he comments.

"nothing good that's for sure I recommend you just let things go rick. No way am i sticking my neck out for anyone again every time I do it comes back in a bad way. I'm starting to see why Konnor does what he does, never thought I'd say that but if that symbol is appearing I don't want to do anything but stay locked up here..."

Lewis turns back staring down the paper and Rick motions to it.

"Mason gave me it."

Rick runs his finger over it and asks.

"what is it?"

Lewis pushes forward as he stares down rick.

"look i like you, all of you and hell even like carl but trust me rick you don't want to make those people angry. You should rip that up now and forget you ever saw it and never ask questions about it"

Rick eyes the symbol and asks unsure.

"are these the people that took my son?"

Lewis eyes the symbol and feels his stomach turn as he thinks for a second then turns back to rick.

"they could be..."

RIck goes to speak when EUgene walks in.

"rick."

Eugene motions out to the door and rick follows him out as Eugene stares forward eyeing Georgie with the twins behind her as she stares down Rick and comments staring him over.

"i believe you have a young man in your possession."

RIck comments staring Georgie over.

"how did you know that?"

Georgie smiles as she comments.

"well I know everything that happens to my people. The communities I told you about the estate was one of the first to join. I care  deeply about that community and its a shame when we heard they were attacked we sent some of our to check in on them."

Georgie stares forward as she comments and looks over rick.

"sadly all we found was a place overrun by walkers it was far too dangerous for us to even try and make it to the estate they decided against it. However, I heard from a reliable source that a few survived"

RIck motions to the infirmary and Georgie follows behind him but they stop eyeing the empty bed as Georgie nods her head understanding.

"they aren't the type to stick around too long its a shame they are good people."

Georgie goes to walk away and Rick asks.

"do you know this symbol?"

She turns back, fixing her glasses and eyes the symbol staring it over as she comments.

"now where did you get that?"

RIck lies staring over Georgie.

"found it."

Georgie laughs as she stares down the small piece of cloth.

"yes I know what that is a very large community that cloth belonged to a group that doesn't exist anymore but if they did I wouldn't want to be on their bad side..."

Rick eyes over the small symbol on a piece of cloth and asks firmly.

"who are they?"

Georgie eyes over the small piece of cloth remembering a few years back.

"a security force for a community at the beginning of the commonwealth we relied heavily on them but their actions were not civil they were quite brutal. The group was disbanded some were offered security positions others were dealt with."

Eugene eyes over Georgie and asks outright.

"dealt with?"

Georgie smiles as she shakes her head.

"let go by their community. murder, rape those aren't the type of things a civil community has bu at the time the community was still growing so they let them go."
