Sorry I'm taking so long to update these

Imagine Katherine almost being killed at the masquerade ball, saved by you, then kissing you.

(btw this has nothing to do with the last Katherine imagine, I just thought this would fit perfectly)

It was the masquerade ball, held at the Lockwoods and everyone was going. Gladly you had decided to go as well.

Stefan had asked to escort you, as a friend of course you accepted. You had found the perfect dress - a gold sequence dress that was snug around your waist but puffed out just a bit to hang around your feet.

Stefan came earlier than expected, with a smile and a single rise in his hand. You took the rose and smelt it, taking in the sweet smell before placing it in a simple vase before taking his hand and going to the party.

You had no idea that everyone you trusted was going to kill your best friend that night. You just thought tonight would be like any other party, fun and filled with drunken people and music.

Stefan and Damon had both danced the night away with you, you chatted with Bonnie and Caroline when you were swepped off your feet by one of the brothers. You searched time after time looking for any sign of Katherine, but she made no apperance.

Until later that night, you spotted her under the dim light of the party, Inna slim thigh high black dress, a mask covering her beautiful face but you knew it all too well.

You smiled and excused yourself from the conversation you were having with Carol and made your way over to Katherine.

She didn't notice you at first, but when she did her face broke into a huge smile. Walking doen the steps she grasped you in a hug.

But that hug was shortened when you were ripped from her arms and whisked away, soon to be knocked out in another room.

When awoke you only felt the massive headache. You were still in the Lockwood house, just in another room.

You got up quickly and tried to open the doors, only resulting them as locked.

With a groan you tugged on the metal handles until they slipped through your fingers and you fell with a thud to the ground.

You stood up once again and looked around. You couldn't break the windows, but luckily there was another door on the other end of the room.

You bashed through the door and onto the floor of the second floor. Grunting you pulled yourself up and began searching.

Ditching the shoes you began to run around the upper floor like a maniac, looking for anyone you know.

You passed by a room where you heard shouts of ehat sounded like a fight. You retraced your steps and threw the door open just in time to see Damon on the floor with Katherine pinned underneath hik with a stake placed just above her heart.

"Goddammit." Damon muttered as you stepped inside.

"What the hell is going on?!" You exclaimed with your arms extended.

You shoved Damon off your best friend and helped her to her feet and threw her arms over your shoulder for support.

"We were busy killing Katherine, if you couldn't already tell." Damon scowled.

"There will be no killing anyone tonight." You announced as you pulled Katherine out of the room.

Soon you pick her up so she cradled in your arms as you walk to your car. This party had been a total disaster.

"I'm sorry Katherine. I should have been there. You wouldn't have almost gotten killed tonight." You apologized. Katherine shook her head.

"It wasn't your fault. I had it coming for me anyways." She admitted just as you pulled up to her apartment.

"It was my duty as a best friend to be their for you. I wasn't. I'm sorry." Katherine gave you a puzzled look before turning fully to you.

"I hate that word. Best friend. I'd like to be called somehing else." You let your head fall to the side in confusion.

"What else would I call you?" That's when she pulled your head forward towards hers.

When her lips touched yours, there were no words. Her lips danced on yours as you began to kiss. Her hand rested on your cheek to make sure you didn't pull away, and frankly your weren't going to anytime soon.

The kiss ended and you were left to look into her brown eyes.

"How about your girlfriend?"
