This has been in my head for a while & I'm glad to finally get it written down. Castiel & Meg were both humans once formally known as Clarence & Megan. They grow up & die together before becoming the angel & demon we love
This first chapter is sort of like Hansel & Gretel meets Hocus Pocus & as you read it you will understand what I mean.
I own nothing except the plot & the characters I made up to be Castiel & Meg's family members

In a small village lived a small family. They had very little but enough to survive which was all they needed. There were two young children that lived in the small cottage with their parents, twins Clarence & Cassandra. One afternoon the twins were playing outside while their father was chopping wood.
"Clarence! Cassandra!" Their father Thomas called.
"Yes father?" Clarence asked, "Do you need something?"
"Yes, I need you to play somewhere else, I don't want you two to get hurt because I can't concentrate on chopping wood with you two running around near me,"
"Yes father," Clarence took his sister's hand, "Come Cassie, let us play in the forest,"
"Okay Clarence,"
"You be careful & be back before dark," Their mother Katherine said as the four year olds ran off.
The young children ran into the forest without a care in the world. They soon tired themselves out & instead settled on picking berries to eat. Not long after eating the berries they had fallen asleep for the berries were poisonous. They didn't wake until it was dark & the moon was high in the sky, Cassandra began to cry & Clarence comforted his younger sister.
"Do not worry Cassie, the Lord will help us get home, I am sure of it."
"I want to go home," She cried.
"We should start for home,"
"Which way do we go?" She asked looking around,
"Let us try this way, come on." Still holding his sister's hand he took them even deeper into the forest.
"Clarence, I'm cold."
"Me too but we must keep going. I'm sure mother & father are searching for us too."
They continued down the path until they found a cottage. They hurried to the door hoping at least to steal some warmth. They knocked on the door & a very old woman with long stringy hair stood there. She was very terrifying to the young kids but it was either sit at her fireplace for a while or freeze.
"Oh how darling," She said, "Are you two alone?" She asked looking around.
"Yes, we were playing in the forest & we fell asleep after eating some berries. We're lost & very cold."
"You poor dears, do come in. You can stay with me & get warm."
The old woman took them both by the hands & brought them into her home. They sat at a table where she offered them bread & milk. They happily ate the offerings & soon after she tucked them into bed. The sun rose as did Clarence & Cassandra. They heard their names being called in the distance.
"Clarence, I think mother & father are calling, we must go to them!"
"Quick, find your shoes & we will go,"
The old woman saw the kids grab their shoes & knew she had to act fast. "What are you doing?"
"Our mother & father are calling for us, we must go."
"Go?"
"Yes, they must be worried about us. Thank you for helping us." The twins started for the door & the woman quickly followed. "Father!" Clarence called as loud as he could when he opened the door.
"You two aren't going anywhere!" The woman said angrily as she slammed the door shut.
"What do you mean? We have to go home,"
"Come little ones follow me, I'm all you need just wait & see," As the old woman sang the children became enchanted. They followed the woman further into the house. While still in a trance they allowed the woman to put Clarence in a cage hanging from the ceiling & Cassandra was tied to a chair. "I must hurry, they won't stay like this much longer," She muttered to herself as the yells outside got louder. She found a dagger & stepped up to Cassandra.
"Clarence! Cassandra!" The voices were close.
Clarence shook the trance as the voices got closer. "Father!" He called out, he looked at the old woman, "Stop! Leave my sister be!" Cassandra screamed as the woman stabbed her in the heart, "No!" Clarence screamed.
The door was kicked open & there stood Thomas & Katherine. They watched as the old woman bathed in Cassandra's blood & before their eyes she changed into a much younger woman. "I'm young again!" She laughed.
"You killed my daughter!" Thomas swung his ax & cut the woman's head off. "Evil witch,"
"My baby!" Katherine wailed over Cassandra's lifeless body."
"Mother, father, I'm so sorry," Clarence cried. "This is my fault,"
"It's not your fault Clarence, this woman was a witch," He let Clarence out of the small cage & he went to his sister's side. "I'm sorry Cassie,"
"Clarence, she's in a better place & I swear to you that I will do what it takes to make sure no more children die at the hands of a witch,"
"What do you mean father?"
"My grandfather was killing monsters like her before coming here on the Mayflower. I never believed him until now,"
"Thomas, right now let us focus on laying our angel to rest in the fields of the lord," Katherine said.
