  Lillie's POV

        "Ms.Patil will you please state your full name." I nodded and looked up at the lawyer for the elders. "Lillie Margret Patil." I said as he walked around infront of me. "How old are you?" I tilted my head 'These are the questions. Seriously?' I shrugged to Tom making the lawyer look behind him. "I'm six. What are you supposed to be questioning me on?" I asked as he nodded and walked to grab a folder from his table.

        "Why do you lie about your name? It is in fact Lilac right?" I shook my head. "I hate that name. I prefer Lillie." I stated as he nodded "But this is more recently correct. I mean I have found test and homework you have signed with the name Lilac." I nodded "Ms.Martin prefers us to use our name. Not a nickname." I said as he nodded.

       "Okay then. So Lilac. Can you explain these photos?" He asked holding few pictures I drew at home. I heard gasp from behind me and at the table next us. I giggled putting my hands over my mouth. "I like to draw. Ma would never play with me so I drew all the time." I said as I looked over one that seemed familiar. "Can you explain this one?" I nodded and smiled "I call it The Doctor game. You take out the organs then put them back. It's a skill I have." I said as Tom and Mary smiled up at the photos.

       They always loved my drawings. Helped me sometimes too. "Who are these kids?" The lawyer asked pointing to a group of kids in the corner of all my drawings either laughing or watching. "Their my friends. There's Tom, Mary, Joseph, Rose, Addie, and Marcus." The lawyer nodded. "Do you see these friends often?" I shrugged "Mostly Tom and Mary.They like to help me with the drawings. But the group always is with me." I smiled and let out a laugh.

        The lawyer furrowed his eyebrows "What is so funny?" He asked as I kept my eyes locked onto Tom and Mary. "They pointed out the shake in your leg. Can't keep that foot still can you?" I asked dropping my smile. "Ms.Patil who are these men in your drawings?" I leaned in and looked at the photos. "Oh moms lovers. I think I can show you which one is Mike. Ah yep that one!" I said with excitement.

         He showed the photos to the court. "You don't think you killed your mother or Mike. Correct?" I nodded and looked over to Tom who kept whispering 'Stay calm. You did nothing wrong.' Over and over again til the words filled up my head. "Ms.Patil. I need you to answer the question." I nodded and turned to him. "I did not kill anyone! Look at me I'm six. Does it look like I can open a water bottle much less murder two adults. I mean did you see that pig he weighed like six times me." The lawyer nodded.

       "We thought that but then these turned up from under your mattress. You see you killed your mother in the doctor game. And Mike's photo well let's just say he bleed out." I shook my head and looked over at Tom still hearing his voice drifting, filling up my head. "They were just dreams.." I whispered to myself. "Who could have done this nobody tampered with the lock in the house. Broke a window. Nothing so it was just you alone who could of done this."

       I shook my head. "No.. No.. I didn't I saw her she dropped me off a week ago.." he nodded and smirked. "You mean the home for the special right? We had help inside to keep some track of you." 'No no no no' I thought to myself as Alissa walked out. I looked down. 'You can only trust us Lillie. You know that.' I nodded as Alissa handed her black notebook to the lawyer. "Liars rot in hell you know." I muttered as she walked back out.

       "You are believed to be a Schizophrenic. Correct?" I nodded "They are wrong though I'm six. What kid doesn't have friends." He nodded "Yes. An imaginary friend or two. But Patil six fake all different friends is not normal. Or healthy. Your mother was scared made you see a doctor. He diagnosed you as Schizophrenic at a dangerous level. He put you there. Your mind has been making up things to make yourself innocent. The chat with you mother at the home. Fake. Those friends. Fake. Everything you are truly telling yourself fake."

        I looked over for Tom and Mary but they were gonna. I panicked Tom's voice disappeared and was replaced with a high pitch ringing. I grabbed my head. I felt like it was expanding slowly til it would pop. Like a balloon with too much air. I started moving back and forth trying to shake off this ring. "You killed your mother and Mike. Those "dreams" aren't games in your mind. They are memories that you can't escape."

       "SHUT UP!" I screamed digging my nails into my skull. 'Just stay calm. You did nothing. Just stay calm. You did nothing. Just stay calm. You did nothing wrong.' Tom's voice chanted over and over again. "GET OUT OF MY HEAD! GET OUT IF MY HEAD!" I screamed as officers came out and grabbed my arms.

        "Ms.Patil we the court find you guilty for the murder of Lindy Patil and Mike Marcus. I shook my head as all my friends showed up in the corner of the court watching me. 'You should if stayed calm.' That was the last thing I heard from Tom as I felt something be injected into my arm. Then I just let the world slowly slip away.

        "We don't think we should place you in Juvie or a prison just yet Ms.Patil." I furrowed my eyebrows. How was this not prison they took my clothes and replaced them with a disgusting yellow jump suit that barely fit. "Why?" I asked as the man infront of me gave me a sad stare. "We think that you are mentally unstable. At to high of a rate to be watched at Ms.Parkers home." I nodded.

         "Where will I go?" I asked as a tear slipped. I didn't bother to wow it away. "We think you belong somewhere for people more like you.. a mental illness hospital." I looked down. "How long?" I asked and he patted my shoulder. "Not long. Just til you are healthy. Mental illnesses in children are hard to come by but I think we can help you." I nodded.

        "Thank you Dr.Arden.." Arden nodded and stood we will have you settled in, in a few days but for now just stay calm. Everything will be okay." His voiced seemed loomed in with Tom's I shook my head as he closed the door. I could hear laughing from a distant part of my mind. "No. No! NO COME BACK! PLEASE DON'T LEAVE ME HERE!" I screamed but no one was there. I was all alone.
