Power

Sunrise's POV:

I felt a powerful energy flowing from deep within me. I let the power flow from my mouth. It tasted sweet, I felt it take shape and formed itself into music.

Everything in the kitchen moved as the music swirled around each item, they became clean and moved to their rightful places.

Although the job was done, I continued to sing. Soon the music swirled around the citizens.

They froze in place, a feeling of peace and joy swelled within their hearts. They felt more confident with themselves and helped each other.

Broken hearts where healed and pain was forgotten.

I tried to make the music reach my mother, but I couldn't make it penetrate the castle walls. I let the music fade and hung my head in disappointment.

I felt full of energy, yet I also felt drained. I decided to sit down before I collapsed.

The citizens continued with their lives, full of energy and ready to try anything.

I was glad I could help the city, I just wished I could have helped my mother as well.

I looked up and saw the zebra standing by the baker a smile spread across his face.

"That was......... WONDERFUL! Can you do more?" The baker exclaimed.

"She is very tired and she needs to practice mo-"

"Practice? But she was AMAZING!" The baker interrupted.

"Yes, but she is not used to the power of her music." The zebra replied

He helped me stand and he led me outside.

Stranger's POV:

I was glad Sunrise was able to free her music that was trapped for so long.

But now I have to erase their memories, they could not know of her until the right time.

I drew a deep breath and exhaled, I felt the power flow throughout the city and erase the citizens memories.

I didn't like doing this, but I had to. I had to keep her a secret for awhile.

I turned to the forest and lead Sunrise away from her old home.
