The walking dead Fanfic: The Estate

75

A walker falls forward as Nate jams a machete into its skull and looks back eyeing Tess, her sister, Presley, and a few kids. He motions forward.

"keep moving its further down the road!"

Nate stops eyeing a large number of walkers gathered in front of them and turns back eyeing the walkers behind them stop. He stares between the crowds and the large walkers in front of them open up as a man walks out in all black with a hood covering his face and he yells.

"which one of you is Nathan Reid?"

Nate stands still and Tess eyes the back of his head and kicks his leg sending him to the ground and points at Nate.

"him!"

Nathan tries to get up but feels the pain in his ankle and the man strolls forward staring Nathan down as he spits on the ground next to him.

"You even smell like a Reid, disgusting, just like walker flesh...."

Nate goes to reach for his machete but the man steps on his hand as he comments.

"where is your cousin?"

"fuck you." Nate breaths out and Alexa goes to lift her gun but her sister Tess stops her and the man glances up.

"control that girl now I hate to have to see a dead kid."

the man glances down demanding again.

"where is Mason Reid?"

The man presses his boot down harder onto Nate's hand as he comments.

"having one bad hand could be a lot to handle out here."

Nate screams out feeling the bones in his hand crunch under the man's boot as the man again demands.

"where is Mason Reid!"

"family first," Nate whispers and the man looks down.

"bullshit he killed my daughter, my little girl is dead, and my son's missing."

Nate screams as the man presses his boot harder on his hand. he stares it down as he remains quiet. Styles slowly lowers his hood and points down to Nate as he comments.

"you'll be the example."

He grabs hold of Nate and pulls him up. Nate moves around and the man motions back to Presley and stares her down asking.

"Konnor's wife?"

Presley stays still and the man motions to her with a sly smile.

"perfect."

Styles motions to Presley and she steps forward slowly as she keeps her eyes on him and Styles nods to her.

"it's okay."

She stops near Styles and he motions to Nate as he asks.

"where were you heading?"

Presley remains quiet for a second and Styles raises his voice.

"we are on the same side Presley your my son's wife. where were you heading?"

"a place called the asylum."

Tess yells to the man and he looks back eyeing her with a smile as he motions to Nate.

"not such a loyal bunch you got here Nate."

Nate smiles to himself as he motions to Styles and whispers.

"Mason will find out who can be trusted and they will all pay. Loyalty above all else."

Nate glances to Tess angry and she steps back afraid of him as Styles motions off to Tess.

"fear only lasts so long Nathan eventually people get fed up of bullshit."

Styles grips Nate by the collar and stares him over as he whispers into his ear.

"I have plans for you."

Nate is dragged forward and the people behind the group walk towards them as Styles motions back.

"lets go!"

****************************************************************************

Konnor sits up in bed eyeing his wrapped leg and hears some voices outside the door. He gets up staying calm and hears some talking.

"he's back. he arrived a few hours ago. he said they will come soon and attack us."

"who are they?"

"I don't know but he made it clear to be ready to leave. we will use the weaker ones as a distraction then leave for the Commonwealth while the fighting happens."

"we are going back there?"

"that's what he said. he said our work was over a long time ago. things got out of hand but now he is cleaning up the mess."

"we should get the car ready then. I told you sucking up to Mason would pay off eventually."

Konnor peaks out the door and eyes two guys wearing all black as one nudges the other and whispers.

"sure didn't pay off for Lewis."

the other guy nods and whispers back.

"between us, I don't even know why Lewis left the commonwealth he had it good there"

"Well, I sure as hell won't be leaving again. whatever he was looking for out here. I guess he found it."

Konnor turns his head sideways and eyes one of the men walk off. he slowly takes out a small hidden knife and eyes the man dressed in all black and smiles to himself as he opens the door and drags the man inside. the man stares up at him and Konnor nods down to the man whispers.

"nothing personal..."

He jams the small knife into the man's neck and looks down as the man bleeds out and nods his head at his work as he whispers.

"thanks for the help."

He slowly changes into the man's clothes and drags his body away and out of view. he smiles to himself and closes over the door keeping his head down as he passes by a few people talking in a small group walking by him. Konnor stops at the corner eyeing Fiona and Mason standing together and watches Fiona lean over and kiss Mason on the cheek as she whispers. 

"you're making the right choice."

Konnor stays still keeping his head down as he leans against the wall and hears Fiona.

"when do we leave?"

Mason turns back feeling himself being watched and motions with his eyes as he whispers.

"now."

Konnor walks down the hall eyeing the other guy in all black walking and grabs him by the arm and shoves him into a room. He smiles down to the man and the man looks up worried as Konnor whispers.

"sorry your not gonna make it to the commonwealth."

Konnor walks out of the room holding the man's rifle and pushes the door a bit open as he smiles to himself and walks away from the door. He comes outside and looks over the hummer decked out in paint and runs his finger along the side of it as he whistles to himself. Konnor opens the driver side door but stops and comes around the side and opens the back door smiling to himself as he walks around and gets into the driver seat. He sits there waiting and hears the doors shut behind him and keeps his head down hearing Mason's voice.

"you know where to go, Jay..."

Konnor nods his head hearing Sam's voice ask.

"where are we going?"

Mason sits back as he eyes Fiona and her daughter and smiles to them as he whispers.

"home."

The doors lock into place and Konnor glances up staring at the dirt road and drives off and down the road towards his destination.
