Officer Charles POV

It was a hard case. The whole day searching and no DNA, no fingerprints on the weapon (fillet knife) and whatever evidence we could have had was burned. Nothing was left. Nothing. No witnesses. Nothing. We were left to make it as a dead end. But I wasn't giving up.

Three days after the murder, I learned that a Dr. Frost had visited the house the day before. For the girl May.

************************************

Mayzee got the OK to live with Trevor. His parents were surprisingly cool about it. She had gotten her stuff the next day.

It wasn't until three days after her parents death she saw Marina again.

Thankfully Trevor was gone, as were his parents. She was sitting in the guest room, which was decorated with her stuff. Marina just popped up beside her, casually sitting on her bed.

"Mar! Oh my god I missed you!" May hugged her.

"Me too May! Ugh, god, I thought once you started going to that shrink, I would go away forever! And your parents! Murdered!"

"Marina, about that. I keep having these....dreams."

"About?"
"The murder. Like, I am the killer. But I didn't kill them. Why would I? I loved them. But its like I see myself picking up the knife and slitting their throats." The tears started anew.

"May! Of course you didn't do it." Marina crooned, pulling her close. "I did."

"Marina! " Mayzee pulled away. "No! That's impossible! You can't..... Impossible."

"Oh, honey. But I did. It was sooo simple really. Plus they were going to take you away, dope you up, make me disappear! I couldn't allow that to happen!" Marina smiled sickeningly. "Do you want to know HOW I did it?"

Mayzee shook her head. Marina pushed her into a chair in the corner then kneeled in front of her.

"I got inside your head. May, I am so real to you, so much your friend that it was just to easy. You created me. Your belief made me so real, that that night, I truly came to life. I am REAL. As real as you." She whispered.

"NOOOOOO!! Why! You killed them! You killed them!!" She screamed. The door burst open just as Marina disappeared, and Trevor burst in.

"May!! Mayzee! What's wrong?"

"Its her!! She did it!!! Marina did it!!!" May screamed. Trevor was confused.

"Who is Marina? What did she do?"
"She murdered them. My parents she did it!" She shouted angrily.

Officer Charles POV

"The girl has issues. I tried talking to her about her.... Friend, but she wouldn't listen. Said that she was real. At least to her." Dr. Frost was saying.

"So, this Marina. She is May's best friend?"

"Since the age of five. But she is imaginary. I talked with ---" The phone interrupted her.

"Hold on." She said, picking it up. "Hello? Yes, this is she.......oh....oh dear god..... Yes. I am on my way." And she hung up.

"What's happened?"

"Your girl. May. She knows who killed her parents."

"Really?"

"Yes. Marina."

*****************************

May sat on the couch as Dr.Frost talked.

"Mayzee, she can't have done it. You know this don't you?"

"Yes she did! She said that I made her so real that she could. I swear!" May cried.

"All right, all right. How about this. Come to my office next week. We can talk there."

She agreed. That night, she dreampt of her parents screams, Marina holding the knife that ended their lives.
