Chapter 1: Zombie Slayer

"SLAY!" I shouted angrily, moving the controller in my hands.

"Use the machete" my best friend said in a hurried voice, she jumped and up in her seat from anxiety. Her foot tapping the floor in a jittery movement. "Left! Move left!"

My player moved left on the screen and I laughed as the animated zombie fell down with a loud thud.

'Yes!"

"Look" my best friend shouted above the loud music coming from the game. She pointed at the wooden door with her controller "There's the door "

I nodded and made my player run forward.
Suddenly two bright words flashed on the screen. I bit my lip in anticipation, hoping it would be something good.

Wave 26

Or not.

I hit the controller, biting my tongue.
"Crushed it" my best friend screamed happily as the three zombies fell to the floor.

She fist pumped the air and grabbed her controller again.

I rolled my eyes and grabbed my controller, pressing the small X on the side and the L1 at the same time, I got my new weapon.
Zombie Slayer 2000. It was beautiful.  The silver blade glinted in the fake light and it had a blue handle fit perfectly in my animated hand. My player swung the Zombie Slayer around before getting in position.

A huge zombie rushed towards me. I smirked and pressed R2 slaying it's head off and making it fall to the ground.

"There's so many of them" my best friend said, a huge grin on her face, I laughed at her reaction. Using the zombie slayer whilst it lasted.

"There" I  shouted, feeling a rush of excitement fill me " One more, the king"

"Use your power" I told her, my players energy was dropping by the second.

"What? No I've been saving that!" She argued and I shook my head.

"You have to! If you don't, then we'll have to start again " I said.

The Zombie let out a loud yell and crept closer to us. It's clothes tattered, it's skin a cliche sickly green, blood spilling out of its mouth. Damn, the graphics of the game was quality.

"Quickly, Scarlet!" I yelled "please"

"Okay okay" she said and pressed on the controller, her player spun in the air and her fire blaster power came on.

I waited for my players energy to regain as she shot fire at the zombie.

Finally, the zombie fell to the floor and I smiled.

I have her a high five and we moved our players to door quickly as we could. As we touched the door a bright light flashed on my huge curved screen and I yelled happily in delight.

You have made it to level 35

I grinned excitedly and thew my controller to the floor.

"YAAAS!! We made it!" I screamed jumping off the leather plush couch. I moved my arms and legs around attempting to dance but I was too excited to think about any specific moves do I ended up flailing my arms and legs in circular movements.

Scarlet did the same and we 'danced' around for a minute.

"You guys are such losers" my brother said rolling his eyes.

His twin stuck his head in the door and grinned.

"Is that a PS4?" Jake asked peering at the box on the floor and the empty game container, the controllers were left stranded on the plush couch.
