A little note: I should have stated this earlier but I have no claim on any of the Supernatural or Walking Dead character. I also have no claim over any quotes or movie/tv show /song references that make an appearance.
I got the idea for this story from Avril Lavigne's song 17 and I had never planned for it to be paired with supernatural in any way it just came into the story and I found the characters fitted nicely together in my head so I kept supernatural in.
I'm going to try make the characters stay in character as much as possible but if they ever seem ooc especially Carol please remember it is an AU but if you want to suggest a way for me to improve them please do all help is welcome.
Also about the characters ages John,Bobby,Rufus and Jo are all 42 years old.
Herschel is 48/49 (He'll have a birthday in the story)
Carol,Daryl and Meg are all 17
Castiel,Rick,Shane,Lori,Andrea and Milton are all 18
Sam is 19
Dean is 22
Merle is 24
I will put in ages of other character's that I write in a note before hand as well.
I would also like to thank the guest reviewer for the advice, I am glad you laughed (humour isn't my strong point in writing either but I want to try it) and I will look into some one going over my chapters before hand. Thank you I look forward to giving you more :)
This chapter is rushed, I've been busy the last few days but as soon as I get time I will do my best to fix it up and hopefully have Daryl's chapter up tomorrow.
Chapter 3:
Carol:
Rufus never seemed to shut up the whole drive to Uncle Herschel's house but she didn't mind, most of his stories were about how him and Uncle Bobby always get into some mess while hunting or how Sam and Dean always get into all sorts of trouble when they visit Dad, Uncle Herschel or Uncle Bobby(Though everyone seemed to blame Uncle Bobby even if he wasn't there).
They were about ten minutes away now and she was getting excited, it's been ages since she seen the farm and she knew now that it was summer Uncle Herschel would of hired people to help him out on the farm and hopefully they would be close to her age and she'd make new friends. She had always been shy but she made friends quickly somehow, the people her age in the city always seemed up their own asses or trying too hard to grow up to fast so she never made any real friends there.
She remembered when she was younger there were two people she loved to play with at the park in the town close to Herschel house one that became her best friend for years, She had lost contact with them but she still remember their names and wondered if they were still around.
As they pulled around the bend she felt a huge smile creep across her face and couldn't help but chuckle, "What you laughing at?" Rufus questioned her looking a bit shocked at the random laughing. "Just the fact that Uncle Herschel hasn't changed, those dents in the gate there are from Dean when he decided to become a farmer for a day and drove off in uncle Herschel's tractor without warning" she laughed a little more at the thought. "Sounds like you brother darling but something tells me you weren't all that innocent" Rufus said beaming "I have no idea what you mean" she said with a knowing smirk back at him.
Looking back out the window as Rufus drove up to the front of the house Carol couldn't help but notice a boy about her age in a faded blue thank top. He was a tall skinny looking guy with dark hair and a bit of stubble growing on his face, he looked really familiar to her but she couldn't place why. Dragging her eyes away from the boy she couldn't help but smile again when she placed her eyes on the very same tractor that Dean at crashed into the gate sitting in front of the barn door.
Rufus pulled the car up right in front of the porch and before Rufus had the chance to say anything else to her she was already out of the car and running up the steps to knock on the door.
She pounded her knuckles on the door with maybe a little more force than needed but she just couldn't help it in her excitement! It was a few more seconds of waiting before the door opened.
"AUNT JO!" she yelled throwing her arms around the older woman. "My sweet Carol we were wondering when you'd get here let me look at you" Jo pulled her out from the grasp she had on her and gazed at her with love, "it really has been too long, you've grown so tall and your hair is so short but suits you so well and so skinny we need to fatting you up before you leave" Jo laughed.
While Jo was looking over her she had done the same to her. She looked no older than when she had last seen her and was just as beautiful the only difference was the small bump on her stomach. "How far along are you now Aunt Jo? She asked knowing full well she hadn't taken her eyes of Jo's stomach. "I'm about four months along and everything is great, the baby is healthy and your Uncle is of little help as he's always been in these situations" Jo laughed and she laughed along with her happy to be able to do so and being so happy for them.
"Darling what do you have in these bags? Do they just growing in weight because I swear they weren't this heavy earlier" Rufus said pulling her back into reality "oh crap sorry Rufus" she turned from Jo to help Rufus with her bags carrying one of them up the porch steps just behind Rufus who was carrying the heavier one. Putting it down Rufus went over to Jo "Mrs. Greene it's so nice to meet you, I hope this one won't give you too much trouble I know how much of a handful John's kids always seemed to be" Rufus said jokingly earning a light kick on the leg from her.
"Please Rufus call me Jo I've heard all about you from John and they've always been trouble haven't they? Can't seem to let them out of your sight for a nano second, would you like to come in and have some cookies or something before you go again?" Jo asked him. "Cookies always sound good but I can't I have to go over to Bobby's before I head back to the city, but thank you Jo" Rufus smiled at Jo and looked a little sad.
Turning around She Opened up her arms wide to give Rufus a goodbye hug "Tell Uncle Bobby I'll be over later this week and while I'm here don't you be getting in trouble" She chuckled at Rufus confused look, "I'm pretty sure you're the one that's gonna get in trouble if you keep staring at those farm boys" Rufus laughed while she couldn't help but blush, she hadn't been staring at the boy, had she? "I'll see you in a few months Darling" Rufus told her walking back down the porch. "See you soon Ruf" she smiled at him before he got into his car to drive of.
"Come on Carol let's go inside, leave the bags your Uncle will get them later" Jo hurried her inside, she stood inside the door looking around not much had changed only a few new photos were now in the hall. "Where's Uncle Herschel?" she asked suddenly realizing she hadn't already. "He's in the kitchen going over some books with Castiel, He didn't hear you knocking come on let's surprise him" Jo told her. Following Aunt Jo down the hall to the kitchen she was felling all excited again.
"Herschel honey look who arrived" Jo exclaimed to her husband will gesturing at her. "Carol you're finally here!" Herschel got up from the table he had been sitting at and crossed the room to pull her into a hug in two long strides. She had always loved Uncle Herschel's hugs, they always seemed to make the world better putting her down he kissed her forehead "How was the Journey?" "It was good, Rufus told me a few stories, there might have been a few involving you" she joked. "Darn that Rufus, he could never keep his mouth shut" Herschel laughed. "Sit down and rest while Jo gets the cookies and I can tell you what you'll be doing on the farm" Herschel said. "I'll only sit for the cookies" she said mockingly to Herschel while he sat across from her.
It was only then she noticed the boy about her age sitting at the table, he looked out of place and a little awkward, he was good looking with light-ish brown hair and the bluest eyes she had ever seen, she had always been told she had the bluest eyes in the world but she now thought they were wrong.
"Carol this is Castiel you and him will be doing the paperwork and bookwork around the farm Castiel this is my niece Carol Winchester" Herschel introduce them. Castiel stuck out his had somewhat awkwardly for her to shake "Are you Sam and Dean's sister?" Castiel asked suddenly, "yeah" she was shocked that someone like Castiel knew who Sam and Dean were she wondered how he knew them. "There cool guys" was all Castiel said before asking Uncle Herschel if he was done for the day and then excusing himself saying sorry that he couldn't stay but he would pray for them all at mass.
"Castiel is a lovely boy, he has a big heart, and it's just his social interaction that isn't good" Jo muttered as she came back in with the cookies.
They talked for a while catching up with everything, she ate more than half the cookies on the plate but that had been nothing new she had always loved Aunt Jo's cookies. Looking at the time she saw that it was only half nine but the tiredness was winning and Uncle Herschel who had been in and out checking up on the farm could see that.
"Carol sweetheart why don't you go to bed it's been a long day and I know you didn't get any sleep in the car with Rufus's yappering" Herschel told her and she couldn't refuse, nodding while yawing she got up out of the and gave Aunt Jo and Uncle Herschel a kiss goodnight. She started to head for the door but quickly changed her mind deciding she needed a few more questions answered.
"Uncle Herschel can I ask you a few questions first before I head to bed?" she tried to look awake while asking but her eyelids just kept getting heavier. "Of course, but make them quick I don't want you passing out on the stairs like you use to when you were a lil toddler" he joked.
She decided to ask the one that had been on her mind since Castiel had left "How does Castiel know Sam and Dean? I mean he just doesn't seem like someone they would talk to" she told him "I've been wondering that myself, Castiel and his family, he comes from a big family now a lot of brothers and one sister as far as I know. Well they only moved into the house at the very top of this road about two years ago now and well your brothers haven't been here long enough in the last four years to meet anyone knew since the incident with the Masters family happened" Herschel eyes had pain after saying the last part, the incident was something that never really got talked about and Sam and Dean had almost stopped talking to one another for good over it only Uncle Bobby knew what really happened, dad didn't want to and they would never tell her.
"That's weird maybe I should ask Castiel myself" she said "That would be best, I would like to know as well it does seems strange" Herschel muttered the last part, is there anything else you wanted to ask?" Herschel said snapping back in reality. Feeling a little nervous asking since Rufus has pointed out that she had been staring at him earlier
"em…yeah…there was a boy working by the bales as we came in and he just really familiar, who is he?" she asked trying and failing not to sound nervous damn Rufus for pointing it out. Herschel's small chuckle shocked her "I should hope he looks familiar, you and him were best friends since yous were no older than four" Herschel smiled.
Feeling shocked she started laughing "that's Rick?...Rick Grimes? Short, chubby Rick that use to push me in mud and then make me mud cakes to say sorry?" she started smiling Rick was one of the few people she never really got over missing when they had moved they had so much fun together when they were younger and now she could hopefully get to know him again soon.
Still smiling she told Herschel she had no more questions she gave him one last kiss before heading up to her bedroom. The bedroom she was staying in had always been hers and only hers, Sam and Dean always had to share a room but she got her own one and over the years she could tell Aunt Jo had filled it with things she thought she would like and she did she loved all of it before the tears could start to fall she washed up and got changed and went to bed and set her alarm for the morning, she planned to get up early and unpack and then work and maybe some where in-between talk to Rick and see if he still remembered her, With her head filled with hopes and excitement she drifted off to sleep quickly.
