"Ok, I didn't come here to be locked up now tell me what you want with us. " Cujo walked up to me impatiently.
"Follow me" I replied cooly, turning and walking up the stairs. I lead them into my living room. Everyone sat down in various places, the floor, the couch or one of the many recliners. I walked over to the fireplace and stared into the flames for a second while everyone got comfortable. Then I turned around to talk.
"You are all wondering why one such as myself would want with you. Am I correct?" I asked the room. There was a murmur of agreement.
"Well the reason is this" I continued after the small bubble of noise had died down. "We have an enemy. He is not just an enemy to me, but to all of us. Every single preternatural is in danger, we need to defeat him. If I could, I would call upon all master vampires, but I can not as there is rivalry between all of us. I have been in contact with one though as we had been friends when we were young vampires. He has agreed to help. But this does not answer the question as to why I need you. You are powerful, all of you. I decided against it when you," I gestured toward Emiko "killed some of my vampires and shapeshifters, my controlling you was a punishment, and after you," I pointed toward Deichi "agreed to kill her" I pointed towards Phyllis "I thought that I would not be able to work with one who would kill one of his own, so I locked you all up. But then you changed into a dragon, something you should not have been able to do when you had not seen one for real, and I knew I could not lose this opportunity."
I looked at each of them in turn. "So will you help?"
