first impressions

[Elaina Waters]

I left the small group even more confused then when I came. I was so consumed in trying to figure out what this whole 'Darkness' thing is that I barely noticed the soft footsteps that followed closely behind me. I reached my dorm and stood outside with this strange feeling that something bad was going to happen. I was half surprised that no one was waiting for me when I opened my door, but the feeling didn't go away. I quickly locked my door behind me and got changed for bed. I was just about to crawl into bed when I heard a soft knocking at the door.

[Dain Eitri]

I knocked very quietly on her door, tring not to be heard by anyone. There was no answer. I rested my forehead on the door and knocked softly again. "Elaina," I murmured, "It's me." The door opened almost immediately. She was in her bed clothes and she looked exhausted.
"may I come in?" I whispered, remembering the pain of Willow's "protective" spell. She nodded and stepped aside so that I could enter the room.
"I need to tell you something," I whispered to her once she closed the door, taking her face in my hands.

[Elaina Waters]

I was more then relieved when Dain called from behind the door. I opened it immediately gave him permission to enter and closed the door quietly behind him. I barely got the chance to turn around when he took my face in his hands.
"I need to tell you something" he whispered softly to me.
I swallowed hard and nodded my head, the strange feeling returning.

[Dain Eitri]

I was just about to tell her when I felt something wrong. Something in the air. I frowned, looking awy from her and scanning the room. "Is someone else here?" I whispered in confusion. I could feel someones presence here. I stepped away from her. I couldn't tell her now, there was definitely someone watching. Or listening. "Elaina," I turned to face her again, "Is someone in here?"

[Elaina Waters]

That thought scared me more then anything Dain could have said.
"Elaina." Dain demanded.
"I-I don't know" I replied fear ringing in my voice, but the strange feeling seemed to be all the confirmation I needed. I swallowed hard and whispered "I think there might be."

[Dain Eitri]

"Did you let someone in?" I demanded. Whispered shouting. She shook her head.
"N-no, I didn't."
How did they get past Willows spell? "Elaina," I sighed, "I need you to tell me to get out of your room." I waited for the pain to come.
"G-get out."
"You have to mean it, Elaina."
After a long pause, Elaina looked at me, and in a strong voice, "Get out of my room, Dain." I felt a very subtle stinging but nothing else. Crap. They got past Willows spell. They broke it somehow. Crap.
