Frella awoke with a start, having forgotten where she was it was quite a shock to find herself in a bed of moss. Pushing herself up onto her elbows she looked around at the surrounding area and found a trail of gems leading further into the woods. Dazzled by the beautiful gems Frella began to greedily pick them up, and followed the gem trail deeper into the woods.
"Oh my look how big that emerald is!" Frella screeched with excitment as she tossed it into the huge pile of gems she had collected.
"I could buy a castle with all of these..."she mused, "Or at least one hundred new dresses," she smiled as she thought of this. As she began to collect more and more she noticed something strange about the gems. She began to notice that the gems were in fact getting warmer. Curious. And they were getting a somewhat slimy coat to them that made them slippery to pick up. Without realizing it the little gem trail has led Frella to a clearing within the woods, but just before stepping out into the clearing Frella bent down to pick up one of the last gems. As she clasped her fingers around the diamond she gave a loud shriek! The diamond had burned her!
"WHAT THE-?" Then something sharp and hard fell on top of her head with a loud thunk, and it smelled rather rancid. "Ouch!" Frella said as she rubbed the spot where the object had hit her. She looked to the ground only to find a rather large ruby the size of a waffle on the ground! "Whoa."
There was a slight giggling from up above. Frella looked up into the tree.
