Have you ever felt trapped inside your own body? The experience is oddly numbing. You see yourself performing these actions that you have no control over. It's similar to realizing that you are dreaming but are unable to wake yourself up. You don't even feel like a part of the body anymore. You are more of a consciousness. The most disturbing part for me was that another was guiding me, and I have to experience every horrible act he commits. The monster sharing my body is Kol Mikaelson. He walked around with my face. He put my body in jeopardy. I thought when his true identity was revealed I would be freed, but apparently Kol was more important than me.

Kol was on his way to meet Davina. She was the only thing that I did look forward to anymore. She was the only one that still addressed me as Kaleb. I know she was talking to him, but I hoped it was a way to keep who I am alive. I was still unclear on Kol's feelings towards her. I could tell that he was infatuated with her, but what I have learned from Kol is that he was like that with everyone, especially witches. I don't think he looked at Davina the same way that I did. I saw her as pure innocence and beauty. She was such a compassionate person. I just wished there was a way that I could find a way to reach her. I know she could save me. I just needed to regain some control over my body.

They hung out for the afternoon talking about magic and vampires. Life was never simple in New Orleans. The more we looked at her I wanted to break free. I needed to escape. I knew my attempts were futile, but I couldn't contain it anymore. I screamed at the top of my lungs. None of it actually made it out of my mind, but I continued to scream. Then Kol seemed to get a headache. He politely excused himself from Davina. He walked into a bathroom and looked into the mirror. He stared at it for a minute and said," Listen here. Only I can hear you scream. No matter what you try I am stronger." I tried to reach out in some way. Apparently I was only projected when I was very emotional. That was a new development. It wasn't much, but it was a start. Kol took my silence as acceptance and went back to Davina.

Later we ended up in a motel room. We have been living here for a while. Esther was no longer a threat, so I thought he would leave. Apparently Kol is enjoying my body. Kol plopped on the bed and began to sleep. Whenever he dreamed so did I. Dreams were the only freedom I received. Most of the time I was just following Kol around. Tonight it was him that sought me out. The form he took now was his original body. He looked exactly like the arrogant son of a bitch I pictured. He smirked at me and said," Well now we can speak face to face."

I wanted to punch him, but I said," Give me back my body."

"I'm afraid I can't do that. See I don't know where my original body is. And I don't quite want to give up being a witch yet. Now of course I miss my handsome body, but you don't seem to do too bad with the ladies. So for now mate we share the same shell."

"I will kill you."

"The only way to kill me is to kill yourself, and you don't really have much control over your body anymore. If I were you I wouldn't make these empty threats."

Then the dream was over. Kol was still asleep, but I was awake. This had never happened before. I was in complete darkness. This was my chance. I could try to take back my body. I tried something simple at first. I tried to open my eyes. I concentrated as hard as I could. I willed them to open, but nothing would happen. Maybe I never would leave this incarceration of my body. I continued to try until finally I was too tired to continue. The next morning I was in and out the whole day. I could sleep while he controlled my body. It was as good a way as any to spend a day that I couldn't experience anyway. I was awake for different parts of the day. I remember the visit to Klaus's house.

The only person in the world more obnoxious than Kol was his brother Klaus. Through dreams I have come up with a basic idea of their past. Sometimes I can hear Kol's thoughts about his family, and most of them are not kind. I have to agree with him on Klaus though. How could such a malicious person win so much? Klaus actually made me feel bad for Kol, but only for a little bit. I could relate to a fucked up family. I hated that Kol and I had something in common. I was in and out for most of the conversation between the two. Most of it was arguing and witty banter. It was like they were both trying to outdo each other. It was obvious that they were related.

Klaus said," So brother does Kaleb speak to you?"

This seemed random, but I wasn't listening to what they were saying before.

Kol responded," You've jumped bodies before you should know."

He smiled," Well Alaric wasn't much to block out, but you have a witch in your head. I can't imagine that he wouldn't fight back."

"I can handle him."

"I'm sure you can brother. Wouldn't you prefer your old body back?"

"You just don't want me to be a witch."

Klaus laughed," You can't honestly tell me that you don't miss being immortal?"

"I will admit that this vessel is not as visually appealing as my own, but he will do."

And then the conversation was over. I wanted to know what Klaus was planning or if he was planning anything at all. He could have just been messing with Kol. But what if there was a way to put Kol back into his old body. I mean I know he was killed, but I'm sure I could find a way to bring him back. I wanted him dead, but to be in control of my body again was more important. If I could just find a way to put him back into his body. I could try to convince him, but he would see right through me. My only option was to gain enough control over my body to overpower him and expel him from my body. I needed time, and luckily for me time was all I possessed.

One night I dreamed separately from Kol. This didn't happen often, but when it did I cherished it. I hated that not even my dreams were safe from him. Sometimes I feared that he knew my plans for returning him to his body, but there was nothing I could do about that. I just hoped that he ignored me. Anyway, I dreamed of Davina. She was as beautiful as ever, and she was sitting under a tree reading a book. I sat beside her, and she smiled. I felt a sudden urge to kiss her, but I resisted. I could never tell if these fillings were mine or Kol's. Now I can't tell where he ends and I begin. Then she said," Kol, what are we doing here?"

I was confused and responded," What do you mean?"

"Why are you contacting me through my dreams?"

Wait, was I doing magic in my dreams? Had I somehow contacted Davina?

"This isn't a dream?"

"It is, but you linked our dreams. Witches have done it in the past to send secret messages."

This was it. This was my way out.

"Davina, I don't know how much time I have or if this is a one-time thing, but I'm Kaleb. I'm trapped in Kol's body. Please help me."

She seemed shocked. "How can I help?"

"Find out where Kol's body is. When you do please find a way to reach me."

And that was the end of the dream. I woke up again while Kol was still asleep. I had never been happier in my life. I had finally talked to Davina. I had finally talked to someone. Then I opened my eyes and smiled.
