   Cargdro: All Is Lost PART 2
Tyara was shaken awake by a pair of strong hands. She opened her eyes and looked up to see the fiend that had disturbed her slumber. She smiled as she recognized Aubri. Then she remembered what was in store for them that day and slightly frowned. Aubri misinterpreted the frown and thought that she was mad at him for shaking her awake. He smiled apologetically and said, "Sorry, you have to get up so we can get to the air port. Come on! Up and at em!" Tyara sighed and got up to get ready to leave.
When they finally arrived at the air port it was already noon. Tyara was glad that they had had a huge breakfast befor they had left. She was more than a little tired though.
On the plane Tyara sat next to Aubri, and Naomi sat next to Ashitaka. All in all it was a pretty boring flight. The only remotly interesting thing that happened was that Tyara fell asleep and used Aubri's shoulder as a pillow. Instead of pushing her off Aubri smiled to himself and put his arm around her in a little bit of a more than comforting way. You may even say it was even slightly protective or possesive. *She is so beautiful when she sleeps* Aubri thought to himself. He didn't want to admit it to anyone, and especially not himself, but he sort of liked Tyara as more than a friend.
Tyara was awakened with a startling jolt. Her first thought was that the plane was crashing and she looked around fearfully. "It's OK, we're just landing." Aubri said. Tyara immediatly calmed at the reasurance in his voice and quitly waited as the plane landed. When they got off they realized that it was dark. They started walking down the narrow streets, looking for a hotel or somewhere to spend the night. Tyara started as she thought she glimsed someone or something staring out at her from a dark alleyway.
"Be careful, vampires roam freely in this joint." Ashitaka said. "Always be with someone else in this group, or the next time you see us you'll be after us tryin to get a free meal. Then we'll have to kill you." He continued.
Finally they came to a plain but sufficient hotel. It was predictably titled to match the specifications that vampires go there. In other words it was called: La' Vampirita. They went inside and rented a room for four. "Have fun." called out the desk clerk in a chiding voice. Naomi rolled her eyes and flipped him off, her usual course of action when a guy askes her out and she refuses.
"Not too bad for our budget." Ashitaka said as he belly flopped onto the bed. Naomi got the bed on the end beside him, and Aubri got the bed on the other side of him. That left Tyara with the end bed next to Aubri. She sighed in contemtment and got ready to go to bed. As soon as her head touched the pillow she was out like a light.
Tyara woke up to the odd muffled sound that sounded like someone was screaming in pain or fear. Or both. She got up to investigate and then remembered that forsaking P.Js she had been resolved to wear an extra large tee-shirt and purple under wear. he quickly put on some suitable jeans and went to the door to leave. She looked back and remembered Ashitaka's advice for them never to go anywhere without a partner. She looked at her peacefully sleeping friends and then she left.
She shivered in the cold night air and listened for anymore screams. She had heard them repeatedly when she had been going down the stairs to get to the exit, but now she heard nothing. She took a deep breath of the night's cold air. A shiver ran down her spine. Suddenly she heard a muffled cry coming from the alley in front of the hotel. She quickly walked to the alley and peered down it. Nothing. Slowly she began to walk down it. She gasped as she heard a boy speak, "O look, another poor girl walking down the wrong alleyway."
A second voice: "I'm still hungry, aren't you?"
A third: "She's kinda cute... mabe we should have a little fun befor dinner."
The second voice: "What do you think Skan?"
The first voice (Skan): "I like the idea of having a little fun...Then dinner!"
Tyara gasped as some teen guys about 1 or 2 years older than her (She and her friends are all 17) appeared from behind dumsters, or jumped down from the roofs of the buildings next to the alley. She counted them and found there were five. Five teenage guys staring at her excitedly. They made a cirle around her and were getting closer. She stared into Skan's hungery eyes and backed away from him. She had backed into one of the other vampires. He grabbed her shoulders and spun her around. She cried out when he bared his fangs at her. She turned to get away from him, but skan was waiting for her. He smiled maliciously as he pulled her toward him. She automatically slapped him without thinking of the results. Anger flared in his eyes and he hit her with the back of his palm. Tyara cried out as she fell onto the rough stones of the alleyway. She fought wildly to stay conciouse. Skan bent over her and started to reach for her, but a voice stopped him.
"Leave her! She is mine!" said a male's voice. Then Tyara's world went black.
