A/N: HI GUYSSSSSSSSSS! This is my very first ever fanfiction! Please tell me what you think! I would I appreciate reviews a lot! Enjoy~~ Ov

The sound of a sharp blade being dragged across rough and uneven rocks echoed in a wide dark cave. Two silhouettes, one of a slightly taller than average boy, and the other, trailing behind him…of –umm a… dog standing on its hind legs? Staying cautious and alert, they looked behind them every few minutes to make sure no one was trailing behind them.

They needed to prove to princess bubblegum they were now 'mature' enough to complete this task without alerting anyone in the cave of their presence. Even if they had to show to the princess how 'responsible and reliable' they were, they would not be this uptight in their surroundings; after all they had seen much worse. But the reason why they were so attentive was because of the description of the creature living in that cave she gave them; a cruel, tyrannical, manipulative witch that went by an innocent name, Carol, to deceive those around her and lured people in that cave by transforming into their friends or family members. But the thing that made shivers run down both of their spines was what she actually did to those lured in the cave or intruders (like themselves):

-FLASHBACK-

Princess Bubblegum turned from her place on the window sill and looked at Finn straight in his eyes and made sure to plaster the darkest look she could muster on her face, which earned a step back from him and a paler than usual face from his friend Jake. The princess looked at the latter for a moment to see what kind of face he was making and had to hold back the boisterous laughter that could break out from her throat any second and compose herself. Jake stood right in front of her stuck in place making a face that looked like he had constipation and just realized the milk he was drinking was 2 years past expiration date at the same time (not that it actually was happening to him- but the milk thing really did, courtesy of the ice king).

'Dead puppies, dead kittens, dead puppies, dead kittens,-'she thought over and over hoping when she spoke no mirth would be detected by him. After a while she continued her explanation of the 'witch' they were supposed to bring to her, she was just at the best part " – to suck out their souls and eat their limbs one by oneeeeeeeeee."She said the word longer than it should have been said to add on to the 'spoooooooky' effect.

By now Finn's confident and reassuring comments he gave bubblegum when he went on the missions he was assigned to were thrown out the window, he was gaping at what she said and stuttering incoherent words, he looked like a fish out of water trying to breathe. Jake was the mirror image of Finn, which was until he fell down and fainted.

-FLASHBACK END-

The two adventurers had been walking for a while when they finally heard something other than the heavy sword the younger one of them was dragging. Music, it was music coming from a small tunnel ahead a dim light was seeping out of it as well. 'This is the only place the witch could be that we've seen so far' the boy thought to himself but hesitated in going forward, fear holding him back. Finn looked at his friend for a second before Jake nodded in confirmation having the same thoughts and took a shaky step forward.

Just as Finn started to follow his example a peach colored hand on his shoulder made him freeze in place with a horrified expression. A silky even voice spoke from behind him "Hey there bo-"…and was cut off by Finn's high pitched girly scream followed by his friend hitting the ground face first for the second time that day. Finn took off running to the caves exit while dragging Jake behind him, leaving his sword long forgotten in front of two leather brown boots.

The girl sighed, crouched down and took the heavy sword by its hilt in one hand, picking it up in one fluid motion and swinging it over her shoulder as if it were a feather, unlike its owner who still struggled with carrying it around. She look behind her for a second and smirked in amusement at Finn's retreating back, he was still screaming like a school girl and running for his life with his now conscious companion trailing behind him.

She went into the small tunnel and crawled a bit through it before reaching a small room filled with fixing tools, junk, candy wrappers and broken mechanical things. She put down the sword on a simple wooden table and covered it with a white cloth so that it wouldn't get dirty while she did her work as a – you guessed it- mechanic.

After about an hour she looked down to her wrist when she heard beeping from it; it was a communication device Princess Bubblegum gave her, the princess was calling her. She pressed on the diamond looking part and Bubblegum's hologram showed up in front of her. There were tears at the corners of her eyes and she was bent over laughing her guts out and slapping her knee repeatedly. The girl raised an eyebrow in question and wiped some grease that was on her hand on her black tank top.

Seeing that she would not be talking until her laughter died down, the girl took the initiative instead. "I'm not surprised the dog and the human boy were that frightened when they saw me, you're quite scary at times."

Even though she was the younger one of the two, she spoke in a more formal manner than Ooo's royalty. "Wow these guys are running like they're bonkers on the streets hahahaha!" came the princess's reply.

"You're going mad your highness." The girl said jokingly imitating peppermint butlers voice almost perfectly.

"Oh you, try to have some fun once in a while! Anyways I need you at the palace tomorrow morning, see ya later Carol!"

Carolbowed to the princess before ending the call. "what a noisy bunch…"

A/N: no, carol is not a witch. -_-
