100 DEEDS
You were hiding behind a tree. A wolf had cornered you. Scared and no way to escape you prayed. You weren't sure if brownies got prayers answered, but you prayed anyway.
Castiel was searching the woods with the boys for the werewolf they were hunting when he heard a prayer come in "Please if someone hears this help me! don't let this werewolf eat me!". The boys noticed Castiel had stopped and looked like he was listening to something.
"Cas, you ok?" Dean asked.
"I hear a prayer," he said, "whoever it's from is cornered by the werewolf we're tracking,". Suddenly they heard a scream and took off in the direction it was coming from. They spotted the werewolf. It was about to jump a tree to get to a little girl who was sitting on a branch crying, "Hey dog breath!" Dean called and as it turned around it got a silver bullet through the chest.
You opened your eyes when you heard the shot to see the werewolf laying on the ground. "Are you ok?" A guy in a trenchcoat asked you, but then you noticed he wasn't just a guy. He was an angel.
"I'm fine," you answered.
"What's a little kid doing out in the middle of the woods?" Sam asked.
"She's not a little kid," Castiel chimed, "not yet anyway,".
"What?" Dean asked.
"She's a brownie," Castiel said, "a child-like mythical creature,".
"What's a brownie?" Sam asked.
"I don't know much about them," Castiel said, "let's get her someplace safe,".
"Is she dangerous?" Dean asked.
"No, brownies are very rarely a threat," Castiel said as he helped you down from the tree and you all headed to the bunker.
They got you back to the bunker and made you something to eat. You devoured the sandwich and milk as they did some research on your kind. "Well, it says brownies are of ancient Rome lore and were basically treated as servants. Once they completed 100 chores or good deeds for the one who found them and took them in their powers leave making them a human child,". Sam read off.
"So they're forced to work for humans to become human?" Dean asked.
"According to the lore they are servants, but if they feel unwanted or needed before completing one hundred deeds they usually leave, but the slate is wiped clean and they have to start over else were,". Sam read off more info.
"How do you make them feel wanted if they're basically servants?" Dean asked.
"It says here as they go about doing the deeds over time the person or family housing the brownie could give them gifts like clothes, toys, etc. Stuff a kid would need,". Sam said.
"Ok, so how old would you say she is?" Dean asked looking over at her.
"Brownies can appear frozen at different ages," Castiel informed, "I say once she's human she'll start at the age of eight,".
"Hey, kid," Dean said, "do you have a name?". You smiled up at them.
"My given name is Y/N," you said continuing to eat.
"I'm Dean," Dean introduced himself as he pointed to Sam, "that's my brother Sam and our friend here is Castiel,". he pointed to each one. You waved at them.
"Well I guess we should get a room ready for her," Sam said.
"Let's go check some of them out," Dean said as the three men headed off down the hall. You finished your food and took the dishes into the kitchen. You noticed the kitchen was messy. Your first deed was right in front of you and you got to work. When the boys finished setting up your room they headed into the kitchen to find you finishing up by wiping the countertops.
"Whoa," Dean said, "this place is spotless,".
"My kind knows how to clean and fast," you said finishing the last counter. Suddenly you stiffened and your eyes glew green. Castiel rushed to you.
"Is she ok?" Sam asked.
"Yes," he said, "when that happens she's completed a deed or chore,".
"Cleaning the kitchen?" Dean asked and Castiel nodded.
"We should probably keep some kind of record of her deeds," Sam suggested, "Y/N do you wanna see your room?".
"Ok," you said following them. It was a basic room with a big bed, a dresser, and Sam even added a little TV. You smiled, "this is my room?". Sam nodded.
"You should feel at home here," he said. Later that night Castiel fluttered into the library where you and the boys were.
"Where ya been Cas?" Dean asked noticing the bag in his hand.
"I went shopping for some items for Y/N," he said.
"For me?" you asked surprised. He nodded opened the bag.
"I managed to found a pair of pajamas that should fit, toothpaste which I've been told is not food so you know, " he said and you giggled, "a hairbrush and this," he said pulling out a little cream-colored teddy bear with a yellow bow tied around its neck. You smiled and happily took it.
"It's so pretty," you said, "can I name him?".
"Sure kid," Dean said. You thought for a moment as you looked at Castiel.
"His name is angel," you announced. Cas smiled. You walked around the library looking at the books hugging your bear close to you when you yawned.
"We should get her to bed," Sam said, "she's had a big day,". They showed you to the bathroom and you got dressed in the pajamas Castiel bought you and brushed your teeth. Castiel tucked you in and gave you and Angel both a goodnight kiss.
"Can you leave the door open Cas?" you asked. He nodded.
"Goodnight Y/N," he said as you drifted off to sleep.
