Greely's Deathly Secret

Greely's Deathly Secret

Paper
"GET AWAY FROM ME!" Greely howled, his eyes glowing beyond the shadow cast on his navy fur by his cloak's pitch black hood.

Peck squealed. "But, Greely! I got you more chocolate!" The pink and purple rabbit was waving a golden foiled block.

"I DON'T WANT ANY OF YOUR CHOCOLATE!" The wolf alpha dashed off, kicking up dust.

Peck coughed as the dust reached her mouth. Greely was gone when it cleared.

Liza the panda and Sir Gilbert the tiger padded up to their fellow alpha, who was staring sadly at the milky bar of absolute goodness that Greely had cast aside like his own garbage.

"Perhaps he didn't want any chocolate... That's a disappointment." Liza sighed, helping herself to her own chocolate bar.

Sir Gilbert nodded before noticing paper on the ground.

"Look, a note!" He said, stating the obvious, but not really because it was not 100% obvious.

Hang on redo this:"Look, a note!" He said, stating the 95% obvious- No, just stick with the original.

Peck picked up the note. "Huh. You're right!"

The note read:

"We're no strangers to love,"

There was nothing else on the page.

Liza read it from over the bunny's shoulder, which was not a difficult feat due to their height distance. "Potential love note?"

"He's in love!"

"Wait, Greely's a guy?" Liza and Peck stared at Sir Gilbert with confusion when he said that.

"That better be your memory loss..."

We're no strangers to love,

The trio of alphas stared at this single sentence over and over. The comma at the end seemed to indicate that Greely's note was incomplete.

"This can't be true. Alphas can't fall in love!" Sir Gilbert asked.

"Where did that rule come from? It can't possibly exist. Liza and Cosmo have been dating for, like, a month now."

Liza blushed.

"Sorry, I've been reading those Warriors books all the hip young kids are into." Sir Gilbert confessed.

"Admit it, Grillby. You're old."

"We need to focus, you two. We need to figure out this note.

We're no strangers to love,

These five words were unusual. Whatever they meant, they could affect the alphas for better or worse forever.

Secrets Revealed
Thump thump thump.

Greely stepped down the dark metal steps hidden in his hideout. He reached the bottom of the stairs, then pulled an item out of his cloak.

A key!

He unlocked the door at the landing and stepped in and locked up behind him.

In a journal, he etched an entry. "The coast is clear" was what the page read.

He opened a dark colored laptop. He clicked to open his downloads folder.

Greely sifted through the folder. He finally clicked a file entitled "No Strangers".

A potential nod to his dropped note.

The file was not text nor imagery. It was audio.

It sounded like some old disco music, but it wasn't. Greely smiled.

The Audio
The strange audio coming from Greely's computer seemed terrifying, right?

You are dead wrong.

This audio was some old disco music. Specifically disco music by an artist by the name of Rick. That note. The note contained the first lyric.

We're no strangers to love,
