The walking dead Fanfic: The Estate

56

Lewis limps through the woods eyeing his bloody ankle as he stares around him getting an idea of the direction he needs to go. He takes a deep breath in and limps forward feeling his leg give out and pushes up against a tree. He breaths out in pain gripping his ankle trying to get feeling back into it but stops hearing some whispers and remains still. He eyes the walkers come out of the woods and sits still as one walks right up to him. It stands in front of him taunting him but raises its hand motioning for him to follow. Lewis sits till and the walker nods his head and turns slowly walking away. The walker walks slowly and lewis limps behind it hearing it whisper.

"keep....up...."

Lewis limps forward following it into some trees and into a large camp eyeing the whisperers and continues limping forward into camp. He drops to his knees in pain and Maya runs up to him checking on him as she whispers in his ear.

"how did you find us?"

Lewis motions back to where the walker was standing but maya notices no one is there and Lewis whispers to her.

"a whisperer..." 

Maya nods her head helping Lewis sit down and Maya stares him over in silence. She walks away leaving him alone and he stares around him at the camp full of whisperers. Lewis sits in silence staring at the camp and Maya eyes him over as she hears a voice behind her.

"what do you plan to do?"

Maya stares down Lewis and nods her head sure of her decision as she motions off.

"trade him with mason for supplies"

Lewis stares around him in silence as Maya smiles and motions to the whisperer at her side.

"we can't trust Mason or anyone else we trade lewis and get him out of here. we don't discuss anything else"

A loud bang sounds and the whisperer next to her goes to speak but he is shot in the back of the head. A large tank plows through some trees and the whisperers all stand in shock at the scene. the tank roof slowly lifts up and a man peaks his head out as he grabs a microphone elevating his voice.

"Mr. Hirst would you be so kind to come forward..."

Lewis stares down the large tank and the man in the tank stares him over as he motions forward.

"bring him forward..."

Two men in military attire walk forward and whispers go to pull their weapons the tank shoots off blowing a blast into the small group. Maya gets down on her knees shaking as the man again rasies the microphone to his lips.

"lets me see him bring him here..."

Lewis is pulled up by two men and maya stares on the group hugging it as another blast lands near her and the man sitting on the tank laughs out as he yells down into the tank.

"to the left you missed one..."

the man laughs to himself and Lewis is stopped in front of him as the man stares down the younger solider and comments.

"no salute Hirst?"

The man on the tank waves to one of his men and the solider hits Lewis in the gut with the butt of his refile. Lewis falls tot he floor and the man on the tank looks down shaking his head.

"now Lieutenant colonel Lewis Hirst of patriot division 8. I have to say you have been a tough one to find but not to worry find you we did kid"

Lewis looks up to the man and the man on the tank motions to his soldiers.

"lift him up i want him to get  a look at his superior"

The two soldiers lift lewis up and the man on the tank looks down eyeing over Lewis as he comments.

"your a high ranking officer, much higher then these fresh faces which means you saw some shit before all this kid. So how about it hirst bump to full fledged colonel and you come back where you belong. after all your a patriot not a foot solider"

Lewis goes to speak but the man on the tank cut him off.

"general, that is how i will be addressed not sir, not whatever smart words you got kid its General"

Lewis glares up to the man but nods to him as he shows respect.

"General..."

The General smiles down as he claps his hands together.

"see that boys is disciple, is what we use to teach so come on now Hirst join your family again.."

Lewis steps forward and the General nods his head as Maya stays on the floor in fear of the tank as the gun moves ready to take aim. The General hits the top of the tank and yells down to the man inside.

"light it all up!"

The General jumps down as he motions to the woods and places arm hand around Lewis as he smiles.

"welcome to the family Hirst..."

They walk through the woods together as the tank fires into the whisperer camp and Maya laws on the ground hugging a knife. She hears the yelling of men and the firing tank but soon the loud tank silences and she hears voices talking.

"The General plans to hit every whisper camp in reach for the main camp he is bringing in the hawks"

Maya lays still eyeing the boot in front of her as she doesn't make a sound hearing the guy voice whisper.

"Hirst did exactly what he said, he delivered the locations and now we can wipe them out, all of them"

Maya grips her knife slowly getting to her feet. She stands behind the one man as the other has his back towards her and smiles as she lunges forward in a rage and jams a knife into the mans neck. His gun goes off in the direction of the other man who turns around eyeing a woman covered in a walker mask. He keeps his gun raises as the woman uses the man's body as a shield and screams out towards him.

"YOUR DAY HAS COME!"

Lewis sands still hearing gunshots as he steps by the car and the General motions in.

"not to worry, my boys don't miss sir..."
