And here is the longer page Sneak Peek I promised at the end of the super short and disappointing Prologue. 

[~ Flashback ~ *Tama's POV*]

I (used to) hate the color red. It's the color of blood, the color of death. The color that stained my mother when she fell to the ground, with no sound except for a soft thud. I lay under the bed, covering my mouth with both my hands. Still, quiet sobs escaped me as fat tears streamed down my face.

I stared at my mother in horror at the gory sight before me. I wanted to scream, but I felt restricted. I wanted to shout, but my throat was dry. Dread filled every corner of my being as I fought with myself not to hurl.

I watched, panicked, as the feet of the murderer came closer to my hiding place. I clenched my eyes tight, only listening to the loud stomps. I prayed and prayed that they wouldn't find me. Then at the same time, I wanted them to.

My mother was all I had left, my father had been killed in an accident a few years ago. Now she was gone too. I was left, 11 years old, with no one to call family. I continued to let silent tears fall.

Suddenly the footfalls stopped abruptly. The loud shriek of sirens pierced the air. The person muttered a curse under their breath and ran from the room.

As soon as they were gone, I scrambled out from under the bed and into the opening of my mother's bedroom. I crawled to her and sat by her side. I had almost stopped crying when I heard the sirens, but now seeing my mother's lifeless face brought them tumbling back. I reached over and touched her arm.

I let out a loud whimper when I realized how cold she had already become. I fell over and clutched her around the middle, screaming for her to wake up, to come back.

The door burst open and a clutter of police came rushing in. I just lay there, unmoving except for my bone-rattling sobs.

Soon my vision began receiving dark blurs. I kept sobbing and yelling for mom to come back, to tell me it was going to be ok. But she didn't. Because she was gone forever.

I knew this, yet I kept on screaming, praying for her to awaken. She never did.

[~ End of Flashback ~ *Red's POV*]

"I ended up in foster care for the next year of my life." He looked up from the ground as he finished his story; tears a slow but steady stream down his face.

He looked me right in the eyes, his own full of pain and sadness and loss and so many other emotions. He said, "Until the undead came and took everyone away from me." A pause. 

A shuddering breath.

A Whisper : 

"Again."

Hope that wasn't TOO disappointing for anyone who will read this. 

Please ANY comments would be fantastic, I really want to know if this is good or if I'm just shiting myself with all of these ideas that swirl around in my head till I write them out.
