Kozmotis was strolling down some road in a rural town when he noticed a twenty year old woman sitting on her front porch with a drawing pad propped up on her legs and a pencil in her hand as she sketches, looking up everyone once in a while. Intrigued by her he stopped and leaned against the fence encircling her yard he watched her, it took him several minutes for him to realize she was looking straight at him.

"You can see me?" He questioned once he realized she was staring at him.

She laughed and answered. "Of course I can see you and my question is which immortal are you. I know Jack, Jamie and met A.J. last year finally after trying for years to see him. My name is Sarah by the way."

"Ah so the Sarah that not only helped Frost as a child but also her whom A.J. won't shut up about and, if he chooses you for his mate, MiM might make you an immortal. You may call me Pitch, all the Guardians and other immortals do, though my name is Kozmotis Pitchiner."

"You're A.J.'s uncle Pitch then. It's a pleasure to meet you and I'm done, want to come see."

Kozmotis shrugged, walked over to Sarah and took a look at what she had drawn. "So that was why you were staring at me, nicely done. What's the title going to be?" He asked when he saw the drawing she did of him.

"The Nightmare King, what do you think?"

"It's your drawing, you can call it whatever you want." He glanced at her expression and sighed. "I like it, it defiantly fits."

Sarah brightened at his words. "Thank you I'm glad you like it. Now what this about A.J. choosing me for a mate and this MiM turning me into an immortal?"

"If you can't tell then A.J. likes you and, as we speak, is gathering up his courage to ask you to become his mate but there is a catch. In order for you to become his mate, if you say yes, then MiM will have to change your form as well as make you immortal meaning you will have to become a Pooka."

"Who is this MiM and can they really change my form as well as make me immortal?"

"MiM is the Man in the Moon and yes he can change you, make you immortal. He has done it before, before Jack became the Spirit of Winter he was a mortal fourteen year old and A.J.'s mom was a human mortal. She is also Jamie's little sister, Sophie. I'm sure you've heard her name, she was all over the news years ago and her mother claiming she had been kidnapped but she was never found well now you know why."

Realization dawned on Sarah. "She was never found because her form was changed." She gasped and stood up, hurrying to her front door. "Thanks for telling me I'll, uh, have to think about what my answer will be to A.J." With that Sarah closed the door behind her, pressed her back against it and slid down to sit on the floor.

After she went inside Kozmotis left having done what MiM had asked him to do. "I hope you're happy because I think I just scared the poor woman." He growled as he stared up at the moon before slipping into the shadows to go let the Guardians know he did as asked.

"I know you didn't like having to do that Pitch but it's better for her to know what she'll be getting herself into before A.J. asks her to become his mate and MiM agreed with us." Sophie let out a sigh as she placed a paw on his shoulder to which he only nodded.

Sarah stood up with a sigh, wiping the tears off her face, and went up to her room where she sat on the window seat, staring up at the full moon. "I don't know if you can hear me or will even listen to a simple mortal but I'm confused right now. I like A.J. but am not sure if I would give up my life as a human, a mortal to be with him not that I would be giving up much. I mean my parents have passed on and I have no other family besides the few immortals I know and no friends really to speak of so I guess that's my answer right there…I'll become A.J.'s mate and allow myself to be changed."

As she spoke light from the moon shone down on her lulling her to sleep while her form was changed. "What?" She mumbled groggily as she forced her eyes open as the smell of smoke invaded her nose.

"Sarah!" A.J.'s frantic voice screamed from outside and as soon as she realized what that smell was she jerked into a sitting position her gaze moving towards her bedroom door to see flames licking at it. "Sarah jump!" A.J. shouted.

Knowing she didn't have any other choice Sarah threw open the window and launched her body out of it, curling up in a tight ball as she did. A.J. ran over to her as soon as she came to a stop two feet from her house though he wasn't expecting to find a quivering female Pooka with strawberry blond fur. "A.J.?" She asked as he blue eyes blinked open to meet his green ones and she was latched onto him, tears in her eyes.

"It's all gone, my home, all my work…the paintings I did of the Guardians, of your family, their all gone." She sobbed as A.J. held her trying to calm her down.

"Come on let's head for the Warren." He told her softly as he opened a tunnel to it, picked Sarah up and jumped into the tunnel. "I'll get you some new paints and canvases to paint on. I'm sure my dad wouldn't mind if you borrowed his paints once he finds out I've made you my mate, that if you are willing to become my mate. My brothers and sisters already have their mates and judging by the change you went through I'm guessing you have been told and accepted."

Feeling Sarah nod against his chest brought a smile to A.J.'s face as he came out of the tunnel and into the Warren setting Sarah on her feet. "Welcome to the Warren." He spread his arms making her gasp at the sight.

"Oh wow it's beautiful A.J." She whispered.

"Glad you think so. You must be Sarah though I was expecting someone more…human." A deep male voice came from the right of her. "If you've been changed then I take it that you have accepted to become my son's mate." Sarah raised her head to find a greyish blue and white Pooka watching her.

"Yes sir I have." She stood up straight to show she wasn't afraid.

"Showing some courage, I like that. Come on Sophie and the other Sheilas' are waiting for you. MiM informed us of your decision not long after you made it so we were expecting you." Bunny let her know as he turned to hop away, A.J. and Sarah right behind them. As they made their way through the Warren they were greeted by several young Pookas, of several different ages, playing among the grass.
