The walking dead Fanfic: The Estate

63

Presley looks herself over in the mirror and stands still thinking to herself as she runs her hand over a large bruise on her neck, but pushes up her collar hearing konnor.

"alright?"

She remains quiet staring into the mirror and thinks to herself quietly as she ignores Konnor's question and stares over herself noticing her long hair. she undoes it and turns back to konnor as she nods to him.

"I will be..."

She closes the door and takes out a pair of scissors cutting through her hair, chopping off its length and staring herself down in the mirror as she nods to herself.

"I get why Miya had short hair..."

Presley runs her hand through her hair and hears a knock on the door as konnor asks.

"not dead?"

She turns back to the door yelling back to it in anger.

"no, but you will be if you keep bothering me..."

Konnor steps back away from the door and leaves Presley alone as she stares back in the mirror looking over her now short hair. She again runs her hand through it and nods to herself as she stares her own image down in mirror remaining silent thinking over what she can do. she rummages through her bag and finds her loose gun. she checks her bullets and notices she has two. Presley looks up eyeing herself over and smiles to herself as she whispers.

"all I need."

She slowly places the gun in the holster attached to her leg and takes her jacket wrapping it around herself. Presley leaves her stuff in the bathroom and walks out into the hall. She remains quiet shutting the door over softly trying not to alert the two men in the house. she hears music from the living room as she makes her way closer to it. Presley places her back to the wall and peaks out eyeing Konnor laying in the living room. slowly she walks up to his side noticing he is asleep and takes her gun out from the holster. She raises her gun placing it to his head and stands there still with her finger on the trigger debating if she can do it. Her hand shakes as she presses her finger down but she stops hearing a sound from behind her and takes her gun away quickly eyeing Lydia come into the room. Lydia places down some food and stares over Presley for a second wondering what she is doing. Presley takes a deep breath in and slowly holsters her gun as Lydia looks her over quietly but whispers.

"couldn't even do it while he was awake?"

konnor voice mumbles.

"I am awake..."

Presley stares him over as he opens one eye and smiles smugly at her as he whispers.

"don't feel so bad ley some people got it but you don't..."

He reaches over grabbing some food off the tray and places it into his mouth chewing loudly as he smugly looks over his wife. She feels the gun fasten back into place and konnor skims his eyes over his wife as he comments.

"new hair, but same Presley."

Konnor goes to grab another piece of food but she screams at him.

"STOP!"

He stops his actions and glances up at his wife as he shrugs his shoulders and motions for his younger sister to leave.

"you won't want to see this. go hang out with Mason."

Lydia stands there and konnor motions to the door.

"go..."

Konnor watches his sister leave and he leans back grabbing the tray of food as he starts eating again. Presley stares him down in anger as she asks firmly.

"you, it was you who let the walkers loose, and you who set the fires..."

Presley watches him place some food to his mouth and he chews loudly not replying to her as she stares him over in anger. Konnor motions down to the tray and comments.

"this, this is some good fucking food. Carter, he always makes it all taste okay."

He motions to the food and Presley stares it down knowing what's inside it and turns to Konnor as she asks.

"did you know what he does to the kids.."

Konnor again picks up some food and shoves it into his mouth as he chews loudly enjoying the taste as he mumbles out joking.

"five stars..."

He holds up five fingers and Presley stares him down as Konnor nods to her.

"look ley it's his kids and his business. I don't step on toes, I just get directed, and do my job, earn my food, and bed. fuck, the work I do earns you your bed too, earns you that food you ate and you never complained about it before."

Presley remains quiet thinking to herself as Konnor comments.

"see your still soft ley, but when you needed it the other night oh well then you were all over me, right? Here is the funny part we both know that you knew this whole time. I mean your smart, educated, you knew I did shit out there. I mean its survival out there and would you look at that?"

Konnor eyes the food as he motions to it and comments.

"survival."

He plops the piece of food into his mouth and leans his head back as he chews and remains quiet. Presley stares down Konnor as he motions to her to come closer. she remains still and he swallows the food as he comments holding out the tray.

"survival is why you didn't just shoot me now, why you let Mason do what he did in that room and why you stayed here. I mean think of this Ley you could have literally asked Mason to leave, and he would have let you."

Konnor stops himself and Presley thinks quietly as Konnor shrugs his shoulders as he laughs to himself. he turns to Presley and motions to her.

"I mean you never asked for the third option, did you? Your not stupid you know there is always a third option, but you took the one that Mason wanted because your fucking smart and you know he isn't wrong. this side is the winning side."
