This chapter will be just a bit different than the previous ones but it will give insight into another character's perspective of the situation.

'Another day. Another day closer to graduation.'

This was the thought James Miller had as he woke up. James was a boy who was a bit overweight but was still very active, he even played as a Wide Receiver for Peach Creek High School's football team with Rolf, Kevin, Matt, and the Eds.

James had just gotten out of bed when he looked at the clock. Shock and horror overcame him when he saw what time it was. He rushed into his closet to get dressed, going to brush his teeth and get an apple for breakfast before rushing out of his home, his dog barking and wagging its tail at him in excitement.

"Can't play Zippy, I gotta go!" James called to his pet. 'Great! Of all the days to oversleep and miss the bus it has to be the day of my math final!' James thought.

As he was sprinted across a street, he ran through the park as a shortcut. This is where he saw a cat being attacked by a dog. The cat was convulsing as the dog tore at its insides, James began to gag at the sight. He did his best to suppress the gagging as he ran past the two animals, upon seeing James, the dog stopped devouring the cat and ran after him instead.

James heard the dog running after him and groaned.

'Just my luck...'

The two ran until James arrived at the school's gymnasium, the only thing between him ans the school was a simple fence.

'Almost there, now all I gotta do is get inside! But this stupid dog won't go away!'

James reached the fence and began to jump over it but the dog leaped onto him and bit his forearm as he jumped.

"Ah! Son of a hitch!" James cursed. He tried stepping on the dog's tail to make it let go but it refused to release him. James saw a nearby dumbbell and began hitting the dog with it, crying as he did, as a dog lover he would have never considered doing that but in his panic and time constraints, he felt like he had no choice.

The dog finally realised James when a good hit to the head got to its brain, killing it.

James didn't speak, not wanting to reflect on what he had just done, however he noticed a strange purple and green liquid seeping out of the dog's mouth.. He thought of going in through the gym's door but he couldn't just barge in through the gymnasium entrance as he would probably get stopped by a guard, thinking that he was trying to skip classes. This left James to go in through the front.

James checked his watch; 8:07, he was barely on time.

'At least I made it... I definitely gotta see the nurse after first period.' James thought. The arm that was bitten began to shake violently, James looked at the arm and was horrified. His arm turned a cold and dead blue color, the bite marks pierced the skin, however blood wasn't seeping out of it. James' vein was slowly turning yellow in the affected area, arteries sere turning green.

James ran towards the front door of the school before his legs suddenly felt heavy and weak. He collapsed right by the steps of the front entrance.

'Gotta... Make it... To the nurse... Hospital... Help... Anyone!' He thought. His vision suddenly blurred and became hazy. He saw the front door open and a man in his early sixties came out wearing a Hawaiian themed shirt.

"I'll visit whenever I can, but for now Danny, aloha!" The man said. When James saw the man he felt a sudden urge to kill the man and devour him.

James tried shouting at the man for help but the only sound he could make was inhuman grunts and screeched.

For some reason James felt hungrier than he had ever felt before. His sense of smell also seemed to increase as well, he sniffed at the air and smelled something that piqued his interest, he drooled as he made his way into the school. James was then face to face with a man, a man he recognized as Mr. Antonucci, the principal of Leach Creek High.

"Jesus." Mr. Antonucci said to himself upon seeing the state James was in. "Come with me James, I'll get you to the nurse. As Mr. Antonucci brought James over to the nurse, he realised that the enticing aroma he had smelled earlier was coming from Mr. Antonucci, other members of the school faculty and every student in the classrooms. This made something snap inside James' mind, once James was inside the nurse's office he was attended to by the school's nurse. She also had the same fragrance as everyone else. As nobody was in the room with them, James punced on the nurse, screeching demonically as he bit a chunk of flesh from her neck.

The nurse screamed loudly as James bit her but the screams died out when James tore the flesh from her. Knowing that people would come after that scream, James jumped from a nearby window and ran into the woods nearby...

James made his way back into the city, things seemed busier than usual form some reason. He jumped out of a tree and onto a sidewalk, as James looked around for his next target a man accidentally bumped into him.

"Oh! Sorry about that, kid. I'm a little out of it today, see I'm tryinv to strike up the courage to propose to my girlfriend today and-" The man tried to say but James bit him before he could finish, as James bit the man he could feel a tingling sensation from his mouth, as though he was drooling as he bit his prey.

James continued to bite people until he caught a stray dog, by this time the police had been notified and were about to arrest James.

"Freeze!" An officer shouted. James turned at the officers, his appearance shocking and disgusting them to the point where a few of the officers vomited. James' skin was a rotten yellow color, his veins and arteries visible through his skin, his eyes changed into a sickly yellow with red irises.

James bit the dog, some of the officers fired at James with their tazers but they had no effect on him. The dog escaped into the lane while James ran into the woods.

The dog ran until it saw a squirrel nibbling on an apple, quickly pouncing and killing the small rodent. As it chewed on the squirrel, Jimmy had appeared to pick flowers when he had seen the zombified canine...

James continued to terrorize the town of Peach Creek for another hour, the number of people he had zombified were increasing every moment. He had found the scent of more people to devour and was following it, he had found the Eds fighting of zombies with Matt and Janyse. Despite being a zombie, something made James recognize Eddy and the others. He rushed towards Eddy and grabbed him.

"GUYS!" Eddy shouted.

"I got you, dude!" Matt shouted as he destroyed James' head with his iron clackers. For James, everything went dark. But then he seemed to be able to sense where he was, he felt pain all over what use to he his head. He began gathering the pieces of his head and putting all of the pieces back together.

A seething hatred swept over him, rembering what happened to him, the image of Matt killing him and defending Eddy made him want their blood.

James spent the rest of the day following Eddy and Matt's scent. He arrived at the city limits and was met with the R.C.M.P...

'There's another one! Kill it!" One of them shouted. The officers fired at James, who became more nimble after being fired at before and after his first death. He slaughtered a few of the officers before more zombies arrived and killed the rest. The R.C.M.P called for backup which took only a few minutes to arrive, the battle between the zombies and the R.C.M.P lasted for several hours, though James ended up slipping away from the battle, choosing instead to go after the survivors.

He continued to follow the scent until he reached the factory, he hid in the nearby sunflower field for cover. Upon smelling the number of people within the factory, he headed back to where the zombies and R.C.M.P were fighting, the officers had won and moved into Peach Creek. The amount of dead officers and zombies was staggering, the smell of rotting flesh filled the air but James was unable to smell anything. Piece by bloody piece he put together all of the zombies, converting all of the human corpses into zombies as well. By the time James was done the sun was beginning to rise...

James and his zombie horse all headed towards the factory the survivors were hiding in, it was empty as the group had all headed towards Lemon Brook. As they followed the scent of the group, a man and his family ran out of the city and came face to face with the horde.

"Stay back!" He shouted, brandishing a knife. James stepped towards the man, who tried to stab James. One of James' fellow zombies took the stab for James, allowing him to kill the family. The horde pressed on as if nothing happened, one of the zombies converted the family as they entered Lemon Brooke.

James searched the area for the survivors but found nothing until he could smell them heading towards Cherry River. As they arrived at the city limits, James took the time to reanimate every zombie that had been slain, including Ed and Sarah's parents...

The horde continued until James pinpointed the current location of the survivors: Lime Lake. It didn't take very long for the horde to arrive there, as they surrounded the group from the trees, James saw Armando, holding a large rock in his hands about to strike Kevin before he and his horde made their move...

And that is where this chapter ends. For those of you who may be confused about James, he is actually a very minor character who appeared in the show. During the episode where Eddy learns Kevin has a fear of needles, Ed knocks over a cabinet with the medical files of students, one of them is of a boy named James and a picture of him appears in a few frames. His name and design are based off of 'Big Jim' Miller, who is a storyboarder for the show.

But as for the story now, things will begin to pick up in the next chapter...
