"I think that I just want to go to bed. Could you show me where my room is?" Enya said.
Livlia took out a handkerchief and blew her nose. "Of course. Right this way." They got up and waked up the stairs. Livlia showed Enya to her room, just like she said, but once they got to her 'room' it turns out that somebody had already taken it. "Oh… I will have to talk to my mother about this! No child can move into a room without permission. It's happened before but we have never needed a room when they did." She sighed, "I guess I'll go and call her right now. You wait here." Enya nodded.
Livlia started walking away but stopped. She turned around so suddenly she nearly lost her balance. "I know where you can stay! Follow me!" The started off to the other side of the orphanage and stopped in front of a very large portrait of a boy laughing on a swing set. "Enya, are you okay?" Enya had been staring at the portrait; the boy reminded her of someone, she just didn't know who.
"Yeah, I'm fine." She took a quick look around and then said, "Where are we exactly?"
"Why! We're at your new room!" She turned a block on the finishing on the floor and the portrait opened to reveal a very large room with a fireplace, table, books, soft chairs, a couch, a wardrobe, and a bed with a pink comforter.
"Oh my! It's beautiful! Thank you so much Livlia! How'd you find it?"
"Well, growing up here, you find everything! My mom didn't make this ya know… it was made a long time ago, and this room was added on. So god knows how much stuff there is in this place! I'll show you tomorrow all the neat places that I've found! But now… I think that you want to go to bed." Enya smiled a nodded. "I'll come back in about an hour just to check up on you. See ya!" With that Livlia left.
Enya stared at the room, and then remembered something. "How will I know where you'll be if I need you? I don't even know the way to this room!" She turned around but no one was there. "Livlia? Oh well... looks like I'm stuck here." She walked to the bed and started unpacking her suitcase. It wasn't very big, so it didn't take that long, but the whole time she was thinking about the boy in the portrait. "Who is it? He's so familiar." She thought. She sat down on her bed and looked out her window and caught a view that can't be seen anywhere else in the orphanage; the wonderful hills-sides and mountains behind the place. The sun was just setting and it glowed over those mountains. Enya soon found herself falling asleep.

3 years later
Enya woke up to the sound of a crow chirping (not the best way to wake up if you ask me.) and quickly got dressed. That crow kept chirping away and really got on her nerves. She glared out the window right at the bird, and it suddenly flew away. She smiled to herself and finished getting dressed. She was wearing a nice red knee-lengthen dress and a ribbon in her hair to match. The dress was very pretty, and made Enya look even prettier too. "She really blossomed over those years hasn't she, Livlia?" Mrs. Quelia said, after she had grown attacked to her. It was her 11th birthday today, and Enya was very excited. Though she wanted to spend it without all the other kids in the orphanage except Jaden. Jaden is Enya best friend. He is the only one, besides Enya and Livlia, who know about the room. And all the girls are all over him, need I say more.
Every girl there is jealous of Enya, but each for a different purpose. Netti, sour, bitter, evil controlling girl of the Orphanage, doesn't like how Enya gets to hang out with Jaden. Kase doesn't like how she's Mrs. Quelia's favorite little girl. Holly doesn't like how she gets her own maid.
Enya knows this, but she just ignores them when they make fun of her. All the boys at the Orphanage are after Enya as well. It's like Enya and Jaden are being pulled right past each other, huh? Anyway, let me get back to my story. Enya really wished that everyone were gone, except the people who really care about her. Jaden knocked on the door and went in.
"Well! Is somebody dolled up?!" He said watching her spin in her dress.
"Do ya like it, I just picked it out yesterday, and Livlia helped me. It's for my birthday, hope you didn't forget!" She said glaring at him, "Like you did for the past 2 years." She crossed her arms and started tapping her foot. Her mouth was also squished up to the side of her face, but in a very cute way.
"I didn't forget. If I did then I wouldn't have gotten you this." He said pulling out a key from his pocket.
Enya was looking all excited before he pulled out the key, she was expecting something a bit more… well… it's a key, people! "You got me a key? What's it to?"
"This key," Jaden started putting the key in her hand, "is the key to my heart." He said sarcastically.
"Jaden! Really, what is this to? I thought that I found all the rooms! I've got the keys with me too. What is it to?!" Enya was getting very impatient, and Jaden knows that she's short-tempered, so he told her… sort of.
"This key is a key to a magical world! With serpent banners and green rugs. Silver candles aglow, green couches and green sating chairs, and an oak table! Enya, think of a room like that. Silver! Silver, Enya! In this place, SILVER!" Jaden gestured his hand around the room as thought he was revealing this special room that very second.
"Wow. Sliver? Are you sure it's silver?"
"Positive!" he said it in such a positive way that just made Enya believe him.
"Okay. Then take me to this magical place!"
"I thought that you'd come through!" he said, giving her a hug. "Come on, we don't want the magic room to be wasted!"
"You're right, my lord, we shall rush through the deserts, and climb the topless mountains to get there!" Enya said being as sarcastic as possible. They left the room and were half way down the corridor when Enya forgot something and just had to go back for it. "I'll be right back, I promise. Just wait here. And stop getting so impatient!" She ran back to her room and changed into something besides her beautiful red dress, and she put on tennis shoes- don't want to be running around in heels.
She came back out wearing a green T-Shirt and black sweatpants, along with a serpent medallion. "You're wearing a snake… so predictable." Jaden said once he finally noticed it.
"I want to get in the spirit… now hurry up! I don't know where it is, you do, and if you keep talking god knows how long we'll be here."
"Fine, but just for that, I'll talk my head off in the room."
"As you may! I'll be too stunned." She said snickering. The continued running till they got to the basement. It was very cold (it's Autumn people), and very damp… not the favorite place to be. They got to a locked door at the other side of the basement. Enya turned the key and it opened. She took a deep breath and "It's a wall… you brought me here, to show me a wall? Thanks a lot." She said looking extremely disappointed.
"Yes, and no… watch. And move." Jaden replied shoving Enya aside. He twisted a hook under a shelf and the wall on the side disappeared. "Welcome to the Serpent Room!" This left Enya in awe. The room was just as he had said; Serpent Banners, Green rugs, green satin chairs, green couches, the oak table, and silver! Enya took a step in the room, and felt magic all through her. Wonderful magic it was. She felt powerful, and in control. She felt as though this is the room that had been calling her in her sleep. In her dreams she would see this place, just as it is now. Every time she had the serpent medallion on, and that's why she wore it.
"I love it! Thanks so much for showing me this room! It's spotless, which is so weird since it's been down here for so long!" Enya exclaimed.
"Well, she's all yours!"
"Mine! You're giving me the room? You found it, though."
"Yeah, well, it's your birthday present. Next room is mine!"
"Fair enough. Oh my gosh! Livlia and Mrs. Quelia are taking me out for breakfast…. We've got to go! Well, I've got to. You can stay here if you'd like… see ya!" She said running off.
"Well, she's something." Jaden said to himself. And left the Serpent Room.
