Abby exited the cave to find Sandra standing just outside, the box of vials at her feet. In her claw she held Jim, pressed tightly to the ground. One sharp talon dangled above his head.
Sandra giggled at the new appearance of Abby. "Looks like you got a few new friends."
All of Abby's heads surged forward ready to attack. But Sandra tapped Jim's head menacingly with her claw.
"Nuh uh. Not unless you want to see your little boyfriend go splat. But then again, maybe you changed your mind and want to stay this way, " said Sandra.
"NO! Please don't hurt my sweet Jim! I'll do anything, " said the loving head.
Suddenly, the feral head shot forward and nipped its neck at the base. The loving head fell to the ground with a thud, and quickly died.
"Thanks, " said the angry head. "She was really getting on my nerves. I should have done it myself earlier."
The bloody stump quivered and quickly grew into two new heads. One of the heads glared at Jim with unbridled lust, while they other looked away, seemingly disinterested in him.
"Amazing, " said Sandra softly, as she watched the transformation. She was a little envious. With power like that, Abby was essentially immortal and unstoppable. She understood why Abby had chosen that body.
"Don't do anything stupid, " said the intelligent head. "Let's negotiate."
"You are in no position to negotiate. I have all the bargaining chips - Jim and the vials. What can you offer me?" said Sandra.
"You need him alive, just like we do, " said Abby. "He is the only one of us that can open the vials now that we are so big. If you could do it yourself, you would have already done it."
"I could just kill him, and take the vials to use on another human. Little males like this are a dime a dozen, " said Sandra, as she pushed a little harder on Jim's back with her paw.
"Just go ahead and do it, " said the new surly head. "The little bastard deserves it for what he did to me. I don't need him anyway."
"I don't know, " said the new lustful head. "Jim is pretty sexy. The things he could do in bed..... I don't know if I could find someone like that again."
Abby felt her groin stir as the lustful head began to get excited. She shook off the feelings of desire and resumed her negotiation.
"If you were serious about that, Jim would already be dead and you would have been long gone. No, you need something, something from us. What do you want?" asked Abby.
Sandra sighed. Abby had called her bluff. "You are right. I do need something. I need your help. I tried to get him to drink the dragon vial, but he just wouldn't cooperate. I can hurt him, but it would probably kill him before I could force him to drink it. I imagine it would probably be the same with any man I trapped. But with your help, maybe I can get him to drink it willingly. I mean, I am not that greedy. I am willing to share him."
"What? Are you crazy? I don't want to make him a monster like us, much less share him with you! I just want to become human again and leave here with my boyfriend - my HUMAN boyfriend," said Abby.
"I don't know, " said the lustful head. "That does sound kind of interesting. I think Jeff would make a very hot dragon. And having sex with a body like this and his body like that might be something extraordinary. Something we would never forget."
Abby found her tail wagging, acting without her control. She was getting very nervous. With each additional head, it seemed she was losing more physical control of her body.
"It is a logical. With Jim at our side as another powerful dragon, it would be easier to control Sandra and ensure our mutual safety," said the logical head.
"That's crazy, " said Abby. "I don't want to be a dragon or a hydra. And neither does Jim."
"Look, how about this. I'll make you a deal. Just let me change Jim for a little while and use him. After I get pregnant and satisfy my needs, I'll let him go. After that, you guys can change back to humans and do whatever you want."
"I don't think so, " said Abby with disgust.
"Now, now. Don't be too hasty to dismiss her proposal. Let's discuss it, " said the intelligent head.
"I don't care what you and the others think. I am the one in charge! I am Abby, " said Abby.
"We are all Abby, " said the intelligent head. "Just different aspects of her. And I think it is about time we all got a say in how we acted. I think we should vote, and let the majority decide. What do you says, girls?"
Abby pouted, but he other heads nodded in agreement.
"Well, I vote to leave him alone, as a human, " said Abby angrily.
"Me, too, " said the surly head. "I don't ever want to see that asshole again, much less have sex with him. She can kill him for all I care."
"Duly noted, " said the intelligent head. "I vote to accept her deal. It seems the most logical and safe decision. Changing Jim will only benefit us, in the long and short term. We can always change back later. I can guess what our lustful friend will choose, and I am afraid our feral head will just have to abstain from voting. That's a tie vote. So I guess it all comes down to you."
All the heads turned to look a the angry head, which was deep in thought.
"Listen, how about I sweeten the deal, " said Sandra. "There are all kinds of other vials in here. I can make you even bigger and stronger. If you want, you can take the Hydra vial again. Double the size, double the heads, double the fun."
"You've got a deal! " said the angry head with excitement.
"No, " moaned Abby. Not only was she stuck as a beast, she was going to become even more hideous and monstrous. But she could no longer control her body as the other heads worked together to usurp her control. She began to slowly walk towards Sandra, who was smiling with a Cheshire grin.
