"So, umm. What exactly are we supposed to do?" Joven asked.

"What do you mean?" Matt replied.

"Are we supposed to beat the game or what?"

They all stared at him, obviously they had to beat the game, but up until that point they didn't think about that. They all became silent, you can't respawn in real life, there are no second lives, if you die you die and that seemed to terrify them all, they have been playing video games all their life but never thought how it would be really.

"I guess so." Anthony finally broke the silence.

"If we are really in the game," David started saying, "and zombies are gonn'a come kick our asses. Shouldn't we gear up or something? Get food, supplies, weapons and all that shit?"

…

They started preparing all they needed; Anthony, Kalel and Mari were making a list of necessities like water, food, first aid, and prepared food while Matt and Joven searched for backpacks. Finding ripped up old ones. Ian and David searched for potential weapons like knives and makeshift bows.

They each ended up with a backpack, food, some Band-Aids, a sleeping bag or blanket, and some sort of weapon. The girls seemed puffy eyed, they were sobbing, scared but assured by the boys they will be fine, They seemed ready to go outside and find somewhere safe to stay.

They all slowly exited the apartment, hoping not to be heard by zombies. The hallway was destroyed and the floor was ripped up. Slowly and carefully they stepped forward, and down the stairs.

The second they stepped outside, there was no denying it was a zombie attack, half eaten dead bodies were lying on the ground, the second Mari saw this she immediately hid her face on Sohinki's shoulder, hiding her eyes from the horrors, he gave her a pat on the back as they continued walking, although they would never admit it, it was pretty obvious that they had feelings for each other.

Ian didn't know exactly for how long they have been walking, but it was a long damn walk. They had exited the city and were out in a field, where they had decided to settle for the night.

Sooner or later they would have to find some food and water, their supply won't last forever, but that didn't bother them right now, what really bothered them was the fact there was a zombie, coming straight for them, and they were inexperienced.

It's not like they hadn't fought zombies before, but that was a videogame, this is real, no pressing buttons franticly will help.

As it approached closer they really started to get nervous, none of them were stepping up to attack it, they just stood there, frozen.

And then out of the blue, after not talking for hours, David charges the zombie with his knife and starts stabbing it. Immediately Ian woke from his trance.

"David!" he yelled, running after him to help, and very soon Anthony came running behind followed by Joven and Sohinki. Leaving the girls , watching the scene unfold.

…

They ended up pretty well, they all got some scratches; David got a small cut on his forehead. It didn't end up as bad as Ian thought it would. He was now lying under the stars while the rest were sleeping, thinking what would await him tomorrow.

"Can't fall asleep either?" He heard a voice, he immediately recognized as David's, ask.

"Nope" he sighed, but inside he was happy he had someone to talk to, especially David.

Ian sighed, "I wish everything would go back to normal, without fucking zombies! I wish this never happened"

"I don't" David said to Ian's surprise, he scooted near him so he can hear what he had to say, "This whole thing made me realize that life is too short to live in the past, and you got to get up and move on, or it will never get better."

Ian thought for a bit on what David said and replied, "Yeah, live is pretty fricken weird, I just wonder what will happen tomorrow, all this stress is freaking me out and I'll probably not fall asleep."

"Just think of it this way, we all got each other and that's the best tool we can get."

…

They were sitting next to each other, watching the camp fire slowly die. It was nice, Ian thought to himself, it was nice to have David talking again, it was nice sitting with him by the fire, it was nice looking up at the stars. And soon he found himself drifting off into a peaceful sleep, he felt his head fall onto David's lap, he liked having company, and it seemed David didn't mind it too, the last thing he remembered was seeing David's smile, before drifting off into a dream.

Authors note!

Sorry for not updating in a while, I was a bit busy with stuff.

I feel this chapter was better than the first three, I've never written a story in my life so it's a first.

Please comment if you have any ideas or opinions cause I need a few ideas for the next chapters.

Thanks for reading!
