Bottom of the barrel

Bottom of the barrel, there was something very shiny at the bottom of the barrel. Hanna bit her lip and wondered the best way of getting out whatever the shiny was without getting caught while her little sister tugged on her dress. "Hanna, Hanna, come on, we need to go before were caught."

"Shh. Do you wanna see something shiny Megan?" She lifted the little girl up just enough.

"Oooh! I want it." The little girl cupped her hands and a tiara appeared.

"How do you do that?" Hanna kissed her sister's head and set her down. "Alright, let's get back to our cabin before they realize we are here."

"Can I wear it?" Megan asked appraising the tiara.

"Wait until after everybody goes to bed okay? Somebody hid it there. Don't worry, I won't let anybody take it from you." She sub-consciously checked her bandolier of daggers that she kept hidden under her clothes. The plan was to get her sister enrolled into a magic school across the sea and then to join the local thieves guild.

New home, she smiled to herself. She was going to be a shiny at the bottom of a barrel.
