The walking dead Fanfic: The Estate

TSH Final Part

Mason's car stops and he eyes the sign spraypainted with the letters TSH and ignores it as he walks forward and fixes his jacket. He keeps walking forward and eyes his cousin standing tall with a few kids behind him as he laughs and walks up to Nate giving him a hard hug. Nate pats him hard on the back and asks.

"how was the trip?"

Mason shrugs and replies back.

"could be worse there was still some melting snow but the roads are clear."

He looks around searching the kids and asks.

"Presley?"

nat motions to the house and leans in towards his cousin.

"we need to discuss that."

Mason walks to the house and waves to the kids who all stare him down coldly and he turns to fix his jacket. mason and Nate get to kitchen and Nate motions to a chair, wich mason takes a seat in. they both sit still and Nate lets out a long sigh as he reaches for a cup and takes a sip. He slowly places the cup down and shrugs his shoulders as he fills mason in on what happened.

"that girl is trouble mace. she got into Tess's head and turned my girl against me."

Mace remains quiet and Nate sits back in his chair staring over his cousin.

"we are Reid's, we do shit we need to do but your family. out of respect, I didn't kill Presley but I want to."

Nate remains quiet and Mason nods his head understanding.

"did Tess die?"

Nate shakes his head no and speaks telling more of the story.

"no, but she had to endure being shot by her own sister."

Carter walks in placing down some food and nods to Mason as Nate continues.

"hell, Tess got so twisted that she pulled a gun on Carter."

Mason glances up.

"on Carter?"

Nate nods his head and leans in towards Mason as he whispers.

"this bitch is trouble and it will take me a while to clean shit up with Tess. Tess is important for this community. she is a strong female presence that the younger girls need to look up to."

Mason chews some food slowly taking in his cousin's words, swallows and slowly takes a sip of the water in front of him. He remains quiet as Nate sits across from him waiting for Mason to respond. finally, Mason wipes his mouth and nods his head coming to his conclusion.

"you'll have to make Tess strong again by whatever way you please. just make sure she knows her place and stays in it"

Nate asks unsure.

"and Presley?"

Mason shakes his head.

"not your issue ill take her home and Konnor can decide what to do about her."

Nate reaches over stealing some food and asks.

"konnor?"

mason motions to his cousin describing him.

"Yeah, you know Kon from the woods..."

Nate sits quietly thinking to himself then grows pale as he sits back and asks.

"the guy with the walker pets?"

Mason takes a sip of the water and Nate remains quiet and thinks to himself as he whispers.
