The walking dead Fanfic: The Estate

The Den Part One Flashback

"Welcome to the den." 

A girl stands there with a group of other girls as the man in front of them speaks.

"you have been chosen by the estate to help produce the future."

A man walks down the line eyeing the girls and motions to a boy off to his right.

"take down their names."

"yes, sir"

the boy walks down the line jotting down names and stops in front of one girl and she looks up answering.

"Fiona."

the boy smiles for a second and traces his eyes over her and moves on to the next jotting down names. Fiona remains quiet and is escorted further into the building but is stopped and searched over as she is pushed forward.  She stops in front of a person and the person stares her over asking.

"age."

"twenty-five."

the person looks up and asks another question.

"name."

she remains quiet and the person repeats.

"name."

the woman nods her head and whispers.

"Fiona Hearst."

The person motions in further and Fiona walks staring around her eyeing the operation but is stopped and directed.

"this way."

she walks further into the den and hears the screams from another room and hears the younger man's voice.

"ignore it."

Fiona walks forward and the man motions to her bed with a sly smile.

"this is where you'll be sleeping. you don't sleep till we tell you that you can. your service is to this society. sleep is a privilege, remember that."

The man plays with her hair and whispers to her.

"one hour Fiona that's what is left of your freedom. enjoy it, remember it then put it away forever."

He flicks her hair and walks away from her and she sits down on the bed staring around her. She eyes the beds fill in with woman some only teenagers. she turns and plays with a necklace in her hand but pushes it into her pocket hearing a voice.

"Fiona Hearst! Fiona Hearst!"

She stands and motions to the man and he waves her forward commenting.

"only one time never make us repeat ourselves."

He stops short and glances back to her.

"you're new so we make exceptions but only for a day."

Fiona walks with the man and the man opens a door and motions inside as he demands.

"wait here and your companion will be around shortly."

"Companion?" the man glances her over and comments.

"your new husband unless he gets killed."

He slams the door and Fiona eyes the bed taking in the sight of it and feels her stomach churn as she hears the door open. she lifts her head and eyes the person close to her age and the man comments.

"name is Nathan."

Nathan places his hand on her arm and pushes some of her hair away from her face and then comments again.
