After 40 minutes, Klaus got Theo to calm down. It took a lot of patience, Theo was stubborn, and his nightmare was horrifying. Gently, Klaus laid him back and made sure he had enough blankets.
"It's late, Theo. We should go back to bed" He whispered. Theo nodded in response, but he didn't go back to sleep.
Seven hours later, it was 8 a.m. and Theo was wide awake. Tomorrow was October 1st. It would be his 30th birthday, along with Klaus's. He wouldn't let anyone know it was his birthday. Only a few people knew what October 1st was for him, and as far as he knew, those people were dead.
At least, he thought they were dead.

11:11 a.m., There was a knock at the front door. Theo made sure Klaus was still asleep, and he was. He quietly left the room and tip-toes through the apartment, to the front door.
As he laid his hand on the doorknob, he look through the peephole.
There stood his adopted sister Electra. To his knowledge, she was dead. But here she was, glaring at the door and breathing.
Theo and Electra were both born on the first of October. Their mother thought it was a fun coincidence when she was approved to adopt a little girl that was born at the same time her unexpected son was birthed.
She thought that both Electra and Theo were normal, neither were, but their mother wouldn't be able to handle it if she found out her children were some kind of freaks.
Theo twisted the doorknob, and opened the door.
Electra came waltzing in, wearing her usual attire. Colorful makeup and a very colorful and mismatched outfit. "Why hello there brother, so nice of you to invite me over for your big day!"
"I never invited you."
His sister just laughed and went to invade his kitchen for alcohol, "Yeah I know, I invited myself. Isn't that just fun! The two of us, together on our birthday, like our entire lives!"
Sighing, Theo sat down on his couch. "Could you keep it down, my friend is asleep."
Little did the two know, Klaus was awake. He and Ben had been listening in on the entire conversation.
Theo wouldn't be keeping secrets much longer, neither would Klaus.
