Epel walked into the Pomefiore Dining Room. He had misplaced his Carving knife. He Turned into the kitchen doorway. Rook was inside. Epel hid around the corner of the entrance, He wondered what Rook was having.

"Ah! I Forgot the Crackers!"

He watched the older boy hurry out the room. Epel entered it and looked on the counter. It seemed like Rook was preparing to cook. He looked at the container and covered his mouth. A Liver was in it, but something about it seemed off... Then Rook Entered.

"Oh? Why hello Monsieur Cherry Apple."

"H-hi Rook...."

"What's wrong?"

"S-sorry I was a bit unsettled by the uh liver...What animal is it from?"

"Ah! Well A Hyena was on the loose so i hunted it! It seemed like a great day to try Hyena Liver Pate!"

Hyena? Epel went pale.

"What's wrong Monsieur?"

"Sorry, I was just imagining the animal."

"Ah! I Would try not to do that! Honestly this plan b I was going to Make Apple Liver Pate but Vil accidently interfered."

Rook stared into Epel with a creepy glare. Epel shivered.

"A-ah! I almost forgot! H-have you seen my Carving Knife."

"Non, I have not. But before you go and continue looking, would you mind helping me look through the meat freezer, I'm missing something..."

"Oh! I would love to but I need the Knife to carve a few apples for a production by Vil. I Really need to find it to beagle to carve them and dip them in an anti-rotting potion! I really don't want a mad Vil on my tail...."

That was complete and utter bullshit. A Lie he came up with. He Needed to get out of here. The Word Apple sounded too close to Epel and he had a feeling he was supposed to have been the original meal. He also felt like that liver... Ah whatever. Epel turned tail and left.

"See you later Rook san!"

Rook's gaze became dark as he waved in response. Epel ran out of Pomefiore and straight to the Mirror Chamber there was supposed to be a Dormleader Meeting, but Vil had sent a text saying Azul, Kalim, Idia, and Malleus would run late so it was perfect. He blasted through the halls of NRC Slamming the doors of the Chamber open before closing them and running toward Vil, Riddle, and Leona.

"EPEL! No slamming doors."

"I Could care less abou' that! I'm freakin' out!"

"What's wrong Epel?" Riddle asked softly

"I-It's about Rook and the Ruggie case!"

"What happened?" Leona asked, ears perked at the sound of Ruggie name.

"I-i think Rook was the one that Killed Ruggie..."

The three looked appalled.

"That's a bold accusation, Baby Potato."

"I-I know but Wasn't Ruggies Liver Missing!?"

"Yes ... .but, Love, you need to tell us how that's relevant." Riddle looked at Epel.

"R-rook was in the kitchen, he was making Liver Pate....I-I saw the liver and it looked weird. I-i- Rook came out and he said it was Hyena liver that he got from a Hyena that was on the loose.. But it looked more human...I-I don't know!"

"Epel stop with the blas-"

"No, He may be right."

"What?! Leona, that is crazy talk!"

"Rook Hunted Jack. He shot him multiple times; it took the entirety of Savannah Claw to drive him away."

"A few of the Rabbit Beastmen from Heartslabyul have also Reported Rook saying he wanted to turn them into Rabbit stew."

"I-i...Epel anything else."

"H-he said that He originally wanted to make Apple Liver Pate but That Vil-san interfered...After saying that he asked me to follow him into the meat Freezer and the way he said Apple sounded too close to Epel..."

"Right, you're not going back to your dorm. You can stay in my Dorm room till this is dealt with." Riddle said.

"Ok...."

"I-i'll get your Items, Baby potato."

Riddle Pulled out his phone sending a text to someone before putting it away,

"I told Trey and Cater you'll be staying at Heartslabyul for a while. Ace and Deuce are at the Mirror Hall, they'll help you."

"Ok. Ill get going then. P-please deal with this, I don't wanna die."

"And you won't."

Epel nodded to Leona and ran off. The three nodded at each other and walked to Crowley's office.

"Crowley Call off the Meeting, we need to deal with Rook. HE may have killed Ruggie and is now a threat to Epel." Vil said.

"I Know, I heard. What do you plan on doing to him?"

"A taste of his own medicine." Leona said. Riddle and Vil nodded.

"Great. I'll write some Expulsion papers to cover this up. Do dispose of everything."

"Yes, Sir." The Three left the room, Vil sending a text for him to meet them in the abandoned Astronomy tower.

Vil stood the miniscule light from the top of the spiral stairs while Riddle and Leona stood in the shadows. Rook entered the room.

"ROI DES POISON! You needed me?"

"Yes, I wanted to ask an important question."

"When what is it?"

"Did you Kill Ruggie."

Rook smiled.

"Oui!"

"Did you make liver pate out of his liver?"

"Oh! So I See Monsieur Cherry Apple told you! Yes, It's Liver was delicious."

"Its?" Leona chimed in as he walked out, as did Riddle.

"Well It isn't a human,"

"You motherfucker."

"Did you plan to do the same to Epel?" Riddle asked.

"Oui!"

Riddle glared.

"That was all we needed to hear, Rook. Riddle."

Riddle nodded in response to Vil. They grabbed Rook and held him in place along with magic.

"W-what!?" Rook exclaimed.

"This is gonna be fun..." Leona Grinned as he shot forward.

A Week Later

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Epel sat at the Dining table of Pomefiore. As Compensation for his stress Vil, Riddle, and Leona had put together a meal for him. Vil sat down next to him with Riddle as Leona brought in the Barbeque for Epel.

"Epel, I apologize for Rook, but he isn't a student anymore so you'll be safe."

"Thank Y'all for handling the situation...."

"Of course Cub, No come on, The food is getting cold, Riddle and Vil are having Salad so this is all for us."

Epel's eyes shimmered as all 4 started to eat. The Three all watched as Epel dug in.

"This is really good!"

"I'm glad, Barbeque is the only thing I can make."

"That is the best case scenario!" Epel exclaimed as he Continued eating.

Riddle Sipped His tea, Vil sipped his Smoothie, and Leona drank his soda as they all shared a thought.....

At least Rook was good for something.
