𝐕𝐀𝐋𝐄𝐍𝐂𝐈𝐀 𝐇𝐔𝐑𝐑𝐈𝐄𝐃 𝐇𝐄𝐑 𝐖𝐀𝐘 𝐓𝐎 𝐊𝐀𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐈𝐍𝐄'𝐒 𝐄𝐗𝐏𝐄𝐍𝐒𝐈𝐕𝐄 𝐂𝐀𝐑, she wouldn't have the guts to leave him alone again; thanks to what the losers had done to him she couldn't help but start to grow over-protective of him.

"You ready, Val?" Katherine asked sympathetically as the other woman finally got in her car -a grey Porsche 911 Turbo S-, Kat could hear everything and knew the girl was hesitant on leaving.

"Hell yeah," Valencia said putting on a smile, trying to hide the sadness she felt in her chest. "what're we going to do when we get there?"

"We, are going to a ball," Katherine said glancing at Val before she put her sunglasses on and immediately booked it down the street.

Katherine's reckless driving made Val quickly put on her seat belt, she may be immortal and damn near invincible, but the way Katherine was driving could kill anything.

"They're probably going to try and kill me once they realize I'm not Elena." Katherine said shrugging, it wasn't hard for her to guess what the Salvatores were thinking.

"Why do you say that?" Val asked turning her head towards Katherine, since she wasn't driving, she didn't have to pay attention to the road.

"Because dear Val, I tried to kill their precious doppelganger's aunt." Katherine said a smirk growing on her face as she remembered how she made the woman impale herself with a knife.

"Damn Kitty." Val muttered in slight disappointment, but it didn't seem like Katherine caught on to that.

"I know right, like, she has more family so get over it." Katherine said in disgust, at the fact they wanted to kill her over the girl's aunt.

"No, I said 'damn' because you couldn't even kill her aunt," Val said disappointment still on her face, causing Katherine to pout lightly. "what has happened to my homicidal kitten."

"Screw you." Katherine said her pout still on her face, as she reached over hitting Valencia on the arm.

"You have, plenty of times." Val replied a smirk growing on her face as she thought back to the numerous times she and Katherine had, had sex.

"Anyways," Katherine said trying to get back to the subject even though there was a large blush on her face. "I have a witch who's going to link me with my doppelganger."

"Okay so, where do I have to do during all of this?" Valencia asked tilting her head as she realized she had no true part in Katherine's plans.

"You, Valencia, are my fail-safe," Katherine said glancing again at Valencia, who only tilted her head in the other direction. "if anything goes wrong you save me."

"Got it." Val said as she moved her head back upright, and sat back in her seat correctly for the rest of the journey.

"Now we have to go dress shopping because I know you didn't buy a dress." Katherine said because she had snooped through the clothes she bought while she waited.

"My little kitty is always two steps ahead." Valencia smirked happily as she patted Katherine's head, the latter slapping her hand away.

𝐖𝐀𝐋𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐈𝐍𝐓𝐎 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐁𝐄𝐃𝐑𝐎𝐎𝐌 𝐊𝐀𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐈𝐍𝐄 𝐇𝐀𝐃 𝐂𝐎𝐌𝐏𝐄𝐋𝐋𝐄𝐃 𝐅𝐎𝐑 𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐒𝐄𝐋𝐅, Valencia couldn't help but drop all of the bags filled with things they had bought while shopping.

"Finally we're done, my feet were killing me." Valencia said with a groan as she walked into Katherine's room and threw herself onto the bed.

The two of them had just gone on a shopping spree to find the perfect dresses for the ball, a shopping spree that lasted 5 hours; hence why Valencia is now spread lazily across Katherine's bed.

"Firstly, you're immortal," Katherine said with a chuckle as she threw the few bags in her hands onto the bed. "secondly, we were only shopping for a few hours."

At the end of her words, Mrs. Flowers the old woman whom Katherine compelled to let them stay in her house walked into the room.

"Where should I put these?" She asked as she lifted the two bags Katherine asked her to carry up for them.

"Right there please," Katherine said pointing to one of the chairs in her room, which Mrs. Flowers quickly sat the bags on. "thank you, Mrs. Flowers, you've been such a wonderful help."

"Oh it's my pleasure dear, let me know if there's anything else I can do for you two." Mrs. Flowers said with a smile as she stood there waiting, just in case Katherine needed something from her.

"I will Mrs-" Katherine tried to dismiss her, but was quickly cut off by Valencia who lifted her head from the bed.

"Actually," She said causing both of them to turn their heads, looking over at her, but she only looked at Mrs. Flowers. "can you bring us some cookies?"

"I would be delighted to, I haven't baked since my grandkids visited." She said her smile growing larger before she excitedly left the room to bake them some goodies.

"Hmm, I love that woman." Valencia said with a hmm before she scrunched up the bed and put her hands behind her head.

"Fatass." Katherine said with a giggle before she grabbed one of the bags looking through it for the dress she would be wearing tonight.

Valencia only rolled her eyes at the girl, as she just laid back watching her look through the few dresses they had bought.

Although not long after, both of them could hear an additional heartbeat trying to sneakily walk down the hall, their rushing breath and blood flowing through their veins were a dead giveaway.

As soon as the body was fully into the room, Katherine sped to it holding the person against the door.

"Woah Kat, chill." Lucy said holding up her hands in surrender, she was the witch friend Katherine had called earlier.

"Do not sneak up on a vampire." Katherine said glaring at her with her vampire face showing, before pulling away with a slight push.

"Don't attack a witch," Lucy said as she moved away from the door, even though she almost died so quickly. "it's good to see you girl."

Out of all the people, Katherine knew were a part of the supernatural, Lucy was one of the only witches she deemed powerful enough to help her with the linking spell; even though she didn't feel the girl in on all the details.

"I'm glad you made it." Katherine said putting a smile on her face as she opened her arms pulling the taller girl in for a small hug.

"You called; I came." She said with a small smile on her face as the two of them let go of each other.

In all honesty, the only reason Lucy had come to Katherine's aid was that she owed the vampire a favor and if she didn't follow through on it she'd die

"Like you had a choice." Valencia said smirking from her spot on the bed, her words causing Lucy to turn towards her.

"Don't get all boss lady on me Valencia, you know I love both of you," Lucy said giving the girl a large smile before she walked over grabbing a mask out of one of the bags. "now, where does one wear this?"

"To a masquerade ball tonight, you want to be our plus one?" Katherine asked playfully as she turned away from the mirror, holding one of the dresses up to her chest.
