Hey guys! So, THE PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN. I'm not going to change the format of my story although, as pointed out by Madriella21, I will probably change my summary to avoid detection. Thank you all for your opinions and reviews, it's what keeps me going :) Listen to:

Awake - Seventh Day Slumber


You awoke to the sounds of gushing water and a deep earthen smell. Wrinkling your nose, you blinked and squinted against the too bright light.

Suddenly shooting up, you realized you were sitting atop a bed of what seemed like soft moss.

Scrunching your brow, you took in the scenery for the first time. The first thing you noticed was the greenery surrounding you.

Trees, flowers and shrubs were in full bloom, the bright sunlight drifting in was warm and pleasant; illuminating the green heaven golden. Across the horizon, egg shaped mountains covered in lush green rimmed the sky and the sound of a running river to your left reached your ears. The water was strange; it looked tinged as if containing some color and upon closer inspection, it did. Your eyes widened as you reached the river and felt compelled to run your hands through its funny looking liquid.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you, the paint gets a lil' hard to wash off," a familiar Australian accent drawled.

You turned around to find Bunnymund hopping towards you with a small smile etched on his face.

"Where am I?" you asked in wonder as you looked around again.

Bunny chuckled. "You, Sheila are in the one place where magic and mystery abounds, and frightening creatures run to and fro, scaring off little children who dare venture into its depths."

"Actually, you're in Captain Long Ears home and the only thing scary that runs around here is Bunnymund at 3 o'clock in the morning," another voice said and your eyes widened when you saw who it was.

Your hand automatically clapped on your mouth as you took in the sight of your father and Jack, who was grinning at you and looked in the pink of health. He even had a spring in his step as he approached you.

Without thinking, you ran up to him and threw your arms around him. Jack staggered a little at the unexpected attack but laughed as his arms drifted around your waist pulling you closer, nuzzling his face into your hair.

"How?" you choked out.

Jack chuckled. "I think your dad would be the best one to explain this."

At the thought of your dad, you jolted as if Jack's touch burned you and turned to face your dad with a sheepish grin. Your dad was giving you a small smile although his eyes were darting between you and Jack with something like suspicion.

Your dad cleared his throat, preparing to speak as you, Jack and Bunnymund unconsciously leaned forward to listen to what he said.

"When Jack's moon centre was nearly destroyed, (F/N) used her powers to radically reverse the effects of Pitch's Fearlings, overpowering the darkness with light," your father gazed at you with unabashed pride in his eyes. "Every moon child has the ability to undo the evil warping an immortal's moon centre and when (F/N) did that, she mentally and spiritually tied herself to Jack, healing him with her powers and at the same time, granting him new life."

You glanced with shock at Jack who looked equally perturbed.

"Are there any side effects to this?" he asked, nervously.

"As far as I know, there hasn't been a moon child who had inexplicably bound themselves to any immortals much less Guardians," your father explained.

"When you said bound to each other, does that mean that Jack and (F/N) are…?" Bunny trailed off, unsure of what to say.

Your dad gave a terse nod as he glanced at you and Jack. "Yes. They now share the same moon centre."

Your eyes must have grown to the size of a saucer as you stared at Jack, who was looking at you in a mix of surprise and wonder.

"So, when she healed me, she inadvertently shared her life force with me?"

Your father nodded.

"What does it mean when they share the same moon centre?" Bunny asked, looking at you with something along the lines of respect in his gaze.

The moon guard's gaze hardened slightly. "They are bonded, body and mind, and that bond can only be broken if one of them dies. It's a little bit like a vampire siring bond, there's no way to destroy it," your father explained, a look of worry now gracing his features.

Your heart raced as what your father said finally sunk in.

Bonded… Jack… Moon centre… Sharing.

Oh my God.

You and Jack were soul mates.

Like, real, legit, bonded-by-life-force soul mates.

You glanced at him and were shock to see that Jack's face seemed to be reflecting the same thing as you felt. He was staring at you like it was the first time he's ever seen you.

"Does that mean he's completely free of Pitch's Fearlings?" you questioned and your dad nodded.

"What happened to Pitch anyway?" Jack asked as you looked at him in surprise.

"I thought you knew," you stated matter-of-factly. Jack raised his hands as he gave you a smirk. "I've only been awake for the past 4 hours, (F/N)."

"Oh," you said as you looked stumped. Thankfully, Bunnymund interceded for you as he gave Jack an exasperated look. "What Frostbite means is that, he was just as unconscious as you were when I and your dad…disposed of him."

"Disposed?" you asked, your voice high.

"We just sent him to the moon prison where Manny would tend to him personally to see if he can remove the evil surrounding Pitch once and for all," your father said grimly.

When Bunny glanced at you and Jack's confused expression, he simply said, "It's a really long story."

You nodded, not sure if your mind could take more of the confusion anymore. Jack's expression too told you that he looked confused as well.

You glanced back at the Warren, noting its sloping hills and bright pink trees with what looked like…Easter eggs, running around on spindly, tiny legs.

"So," Jack quipped, looking at the group. "What do we do now?"

Your father grimaced. "We have to get (F/N) home," he said, as he glanced at you. "Your mother must be really worried," he said as your eyes widened.

Your mum, how could you forget?

"Oh no," you groaned. "She's going to kill me."

Bunny chuckled as Jack gave him a sharp look. "Sheila, I think she would already know."

This time, your dad looked confused. Bunny rolled his eyes. "Oh come on, it's not as if she's that dense you know, I think your wife would've known where you were already."

Your dad had the audacity to look guilty as he gave a sigh. "I suppose so."

"Well then, I guess it's time you guys met each other again," you proposed as you nodded towards Jack and your father.

Both men's eyes widened and they stared at you as if you had just suggested that the moon was actually a piece of white chocolate.

"After all, it's only fair that the both of you get yelled at too," you said with a wicked gleam in your eye.

At that, Bunny roared with laughter at the sight of their pale faces.
