�Yayyy we�re moving here!� little Jill Jones asked her parents as she looked up at the seventeenth century home that loomed above her.

�Yep,� her father Daniel said as he picked her up.

��� The Jones family had been planning their move for quite sometime now. They had house hunted for months, only to find nothing that suited them. This was only until one day about two months ago. Their relater had called them raving about this �magnificent home.� After touring the home they decided it would be perfect for their family. Although the children knew they were moving, they did not know where. Their parents wanted to keep it a surprise until the day they moved in.

�This place is so cool dad.� Jill exclaimed as she jumped from her father�s grip. She opened the small wrought-iron gate that separated them from their property. �Can we go inside now and see Daz?�

�Yep that�s where we�re headed.�

The two walked up the hill toward their new home hand in hand. They admired the large three-story home as they did so. �So dad which floor is my room on?� Jill asked, her green eyes sparkling.

�On the second floor.� They then walked up the stairs of the stone porch. Daniel took hold of a brass doorknob, and opened one of the double front doors as they stepped inside they were greeted with an amazing site. A black and red oriental rug was placed in the middle of the large foyer. The floors were made of black and gray marble. The pillars were made of the same. The walls were made of dark gray stone. The foyer was in a circular shape, with three doorways leading from it. To the left were two of them, and to the right was the other. In the middle of that there was a circular staircase: which was made of the same marble. The same oriental carpeting covered the middle of the stairs. The staircase was accompanied by black rod iron railing.

��� �WOW! I love this place,� Jill yelled, running around the foyer.

��� Unknown to her there was a figure coming from one of the doorways. As she ran the figure came closer and grabbed her from behind.

��� �AHHHHHHH� she screamed as she was forced to face the figure.

��� �DAZ you scared me,� she said wrapping her arms around him.

��� �Sorry sweetie didn't mean it,� he said kissing her on the cheek. �So do you like it so far?� he asked still holding her.

��� �I love it� she smiled up at him. He led her into the door way on the left closest to the stairs, Dan fallowing close behind.

�What�s in here?�

�It�s the kitchen,� Dan informed her as the walked in. The floor was of the same type. The cabinets were a deep cherry, and the counter tops were made of dark gray marble. In the back of the kitchen were two class doors leading out to a stone patio. The kitchen table sat in the middle of the room. It was made of black iron, and covered by a class top. �Do you have anything cooked?� Dan asked Darren as he came into the kitchen.

�Yes, Daniel, nice to see you too,� He said sarcastically.

�Aww I�m sorry; I love you� Dan said as he hugged Darren from behind.

�Ewww stop, that�s ickier!� Jill giggled.

They then sat down to lunch. �Hey where�s Blake?� Jill asked referring to her nine month old brother.

�I put him down for a nap,� Darren informed her.

��So did you get her room finished this morning baby?� Dan asked Darren.

�Of course I did, and it looks great.�

�MY ROOM?�

�Yep your room, I finished it today,� Darren said as he cleared the dishes.

�Well, can we go see it now please please please???�

�YES, if you calm down a little.� Darren snapped while rinsing the dishes.

�Umm, okay I�m sorry�� Jill said, sniffling.

�I�m sorry, Hon, I�m just feeling a bit tired.�

�It�s ok,� she said still a bit shaken up. Her Daz hardly ever yelled at her.

�Okay, well, how �bout we go see your new room?� Dan said trying to lighten the mood.

��� The three of them climbed the rounded staircase, and turned to the left. A long hall way greeted them. The floor was made of a dark hard wood, along with the doors that lined the hall. The passed three doors to their left, which Darren pointed out as a closet a bathroom, and finally her room.

She pushed open the large wooden door to find a room of pure elegance. A mint green rug was placed in the middle of the floor, taking up most of it. Only the edges of the hard wood floor could be seen. A white double bed sat against the wall in the middle of the room. The two large windows were covered in mint green drapes lined with white lace. A toy box was on one side of the bed and a small night table was on the other. There were many plush stuffed toys sitting in about the room.

�Well, do you like it?� Darren asked as his daughter looked around.

�YES, I LOVE IT!� she shrieked happily as she kissed her parents. They smiled proudly as they watched their little girl twirl around her new room. As they left to let her explore a feeling of happiness overcame them. This would truly be a place of true happiness for their family.
