AN ;

Again on the weird computer but I'm gonna do my best to edit before I post it. Anyway, this fic is dedicated to Ttobba for his next request.

It will be a multi chapter fic, my first, and I'll try not to rush too much.

I haven't played Dead Rising in a while and writing this is kind of making me want to.

Also, I haven't seen Katey get zombified, or Chuck get killled by zombies but I can pretty much guess. Anyway, here goes nothing.

Thanks for the reviews Ttobba.

Dead Rising and all of the characters belong to Capcom.

Ps, each chapter will have a headline/title that I believe fits with the character. First one up will be Chuck, then Stacey, and last Katey.

Chuck's was inspired by " Hero " by Nickelback.

I heard the patter of their feet behind me as I made my way across the zombie infested mall.

Splatters of blood blotched the tiled floor as a heated pan I gave to one of the survivors collided with a zombies face. The demented turned towards us as we ran. I could hear their screams, covered in blood, my heart pounding faster in my chest as I began to jog at this point.

" Are we close? " I heard a female ask.

" Almost. " I replied. We were infact close to the safehouse. I entered the maitenance room, carrying one of the tired and injured females in my arms. I was tired. Exausted more like it and my body felt like a pool of jello. I needed to rest...but when you're stuck in zombie infested mall with a time limit of when you're gonna die, and innocent people who are in danger..it's hard. I sighed as I helped them all into the shaft that led to the inner safehouse. The only exit that worked. I checked my watch. Katey would be needing her zombrex. After bidding a goodbye to the survivors, they went to their seperate rooms or just loitered the halls, I went to check on Katey and Stacey. Upon entering the security room, Stacey was sitting in her normal chair, eyes on the screens until I entered and she looked towards me, smiled, before looking back to her screens.

" How long has she been out? "

I noticed that Katey was laying down, facing the couch sleeping soundly.

" About twenty minutes. " Stacey turned in her chair to look at me. I grabbed a paper cup and poured myself some water.

" Ya know Chuck, you can sit for a few minutes. " She looked worried.

" Nope. I heard more people out there I need to save. " I crushed the cup in my hand and threw it into the trash can. It bounced off the side and fell to the floor. I grunted.

" That was the first time you missed. " Stacey added.

" Yeah. " I went over, picked it up and put it in the can.

" I'll be back. " I turned for the door.

" Chuck, she's gonna need her zombrex soon. Remember. "

I nodded. " I know. "

I glanced back to my sleeping daughter. She was so cute.

I exited the security room and went back out into the mall. I used a pitchfork combined with a shotgun which gave me a boomstick to destroy some of the infected in my path. I headed to the Palisades mall. Rescueing a few more survivors, I checked my watch. It was 6:30 am. Katey needed her zombrex in 30 minutes. I began to rush. I couldn't believe I lost track of time.

My cellphone went off, it was Stacey.

" Chuck, Katey needs her zombrex. "

" On my way! " I hung up and urged the survivors to rush. We ran through the mall until one of them got grabbed. I turned and used a pistol to shoot off the zombie. We made our way back across the park and into the mall. Time was ticking. I checked my watch.

6:55.

I wasn't going to make it. I began to panic. My mind thrown in circles, my stomach cramping and twisting. I pushed myself to go faster, but the faster I went, the slower I became. My body was so tired..but Katey's life weas at stake. My legs gave out. A few of the survivors helped me up as I scorned myself for failing. We made it to the safehouse.

I ran past all of them, including sullivan. My watch beeping at me. I opened the security door. Out of breath.

Stacey screamed as Katey fell to the floor.

My heart sank. I didn't make it.

FUCK.

I fell to my knees. It felt as though my heart had been shredded into millions of pieces. I was still out of breath. Stacey's screams became silent to me.

My heart pounded in my chest, or what was left of it. I felt tears streaming down my cheeks but I felt so numb I couldn't move. I was frozen.

My mind was drifting off to the night Samantha got murdered.

I couldn't save Sam...I couldn't save Katey...what kind of hero was I?

It felt as if I was watching myself from above me. As if I was watching some kind of movie..a horror tragedy..some pitiful guy who lived to please his whole life...ends up losing his wife and his daughter to something that little kids have nightmares about...what a novel.

Stacey was moving around me but it was blurred. I saw Katey get up. Her eyes were clouded and a thin line of drool was dripping from her cold, pale , lips. She was hungry. She lunged at Stacey and began to violently rip her to shred with her teeth. I still couldn't move. I was urging myself to run..to shoot..to put her out of her misery but I couldn't do anything.

Stacey was destroyed. Blood, guts, tissue all sorts layed all over the floor and over myself. Katey turned to me, covered in blood I again reminded myself of Sam. I cried harder but I couldn't move no matter how hard I tried or what I did.

She stepped closer to me. He blonde hair soaked with blood. I stared before I absently spoke.

" You're my best girl Katey...come to daddy. "

I lifted my gun as she got closer. Tears pouring as I glanced through her childhood from when she was a baby living our happy life.

I cocked the gun as she stepped closer...she lunged. I aimed for her head and shot.

BANG.

She fell to the floor. Dead.

A bullet to her head. Her blood pooled around her. I crawled forward, still crying.

" Goodbye sweet heart. "

...

" AHHHH! "

I sat up covered in sweat. I was laying on the couch in the security room, Katey was snuggled next to me and Stacey was sleeping not so cozily in her chair. I was surprised neither had woken from my scream..I was glad it was just a dream. I got up, moving quietly and carefully as to not wake Katey or Stacey up. I moved over to the chair and lifted Stacey up into a bridal position. She rolled a bit and rubbed her nose but was still sleeping. I carefully placed her behind Katey on the couch and covered them up.

" Sleep tight girls. "

I turned to exit the room after rubbing my face.

" I love you both. "


The End.
