Stacie Hawkins, a 15 year old young girl develops and extremely intense fear for mirrors.
Her friends at school scare her with the "Mirror Man" story.

Everyone in school made fun of her genuine fear. Even her parents didn't believe her and thought that she needed psychological help. 

The mirrors in her house sat there from the very beginning and besides the passing paranoia of something in their reflection, a feeling common in mirrors, there was nothing to care about. But then, she started to have the dreams, dreams that haunted her. Dreams about creatures creeping out of mirrors that bedevilled her for life.

It wasn't just a figment of her imagination or any hallucination but, it was an irrational fear, a fear that may cause her to die, a parasitic fear of mirrors, a catoptrophobia.

Excerpt:
My dad was hanging with a cable tied around his neck. It was connected somewhere in the bedroom and he was outside the window. As he spun, I saw another note. It was nailed to his heart. Ten people I didn't even know were strung up in different ways all around the room. Some by their necks, others by their toes. Some even by their hair. All had their eyes dug out and open gaping mouths. All were hanging about a foot above my height. I was crying but I got back up. I was determined to destroy this mad girl. As I walked to the stairs, staring at all the bodies, I heard a sound like something was dropped down the stairs. It was a blood covered arm. I heard the sound again, this time it was a leg. Then an arm, then a leg and then finally, a head.

It was my mom's head.

She went to her room and locked herself inside the room. She slowly sat down and started crying, ''why does this always happen to me?" she said while putting her fingers in hairs. "I hate myself," she said, crying. Just then she got up and grabbed her sharp nail trimmer "I will end this" she said and almost cut off her vein, when she heard a very strange whisper. "Hey don't young Lady killing yourself is a sin" she turned and the nail trimmer fell off her hand. "Who is it?" she said but the voice did not come back, she looked inside the mirror she brought from her deceased relative. She watched her eyes, it was like her own reflection was looking at her, just than she felt her green eyes turning to electric blue, she got startled, then she turned and walked towards her bed, "It's like I am having hallucinations, can't die properly even " she said to herself and went to her bed. ****** She got up late in the morning; she didn't want to go to school. She turned to the other side of her bed. Still eyes closed she looked for a pillow but instead her hand touched something very hard, it was like a human arm, the manly odor was surrounding, first she thought she was dreaming, She hold him softly and hugged him. He was snoring faintly. She opened her eyes instantly, it was some unknown man on her bed and he was sleeping peacefully beside her, she narrowed her eyes to confirm it was indeed what she was seeing, she got up a bit while putting pressure over her arm. His light brown hair were fallen over his forehead, His broad chest was moving up and down as he breaths, when she realized that it was not dream, she got up and screamed. "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh". An ordinary love story? Think again.

Never Yours ✔️ by Shards0fGlass

He's always lurking in the shadows, always watching. She can feel his presence constantly, but she can tell no one. She is alone. The kingdom rests on her shoulders. The lives of her loved ones lie in the palm of her hand. No one would understand why she chose to go down this path. They would try to stop her at every turn. She couldn't let them. She would stop them. She would dive headfirst into her own destruction if it only meant they would live. And that was what she did. She was his. She turned her back on her family to ensure they would survive, turned her back on her kingdom to ensure it would live on. She stole what her loved ones cared for most right out from underneath them to ensure they could not stop her. She started down a long, dark path so that she could win the unwinnable, defeat the undefeatable. She sold her happiness and touched the lips of death. Because she would never be his.

The Demon From The Mirror by atheela_123

She woke up to hear knocking on glass At first she thought it was from the window Until she heard it came from the mirror again --- Mirrors are a door to another dimension, and you can't just walk right through it. Well you could, if the people known as 'reflections' weren't hired to keep us out --- Sometimes mirrors may look appeasing to the eye, but maybe it could be hiding something inside of it. And that something could change your life. For better or for worse. --- That is what happened to Emily Smith. Your normal teenage girl. Well, she used to be a bubbly, happy person. --- Was? You may ask. Yes, was, because her friend backstabbed her. She never saw it coming. No one did. --- But that's the thing, you never see it coming, you never do. The same person to back stab you will be the same person to ask you why you are bleeding. --- So, what happens when one day Emily stumbles across an old deserted house and she finds a mirror? --- ALL IDEAS ARE ORIGINALLY MINE!! ALL THESE EVENTS CAME FROM MY BRAIN (i somehow have one) PLEASE DO NOT COPY MY BOOK OR IDEAS!! --- Cover by : katielou1765 ---

PHOBOPHOBIA by StAr_Dem0ns

Phobophobia - an extreme fear of being afraid --------- ------------------- Hazel felt so alone. It felt almost intoxicating, choking her out from the inside and burning her skin like a warm whisper. Despite all this, she wanted to be alone. Hazel knew that if she gained, she would lose equal. She just wanted to live on a private island, on a boat at sea, in the middle of Antarctica; away from those who deceive. How would she know? How would she know that the first time she showed true kindness, someone came and coerced her for more. They were completely annihilating her; their arms were wrapped around her neck before tricking her into a motherly grace. She was misfortunate. She was unloved. -but she was never alone... and that's the thing she hated the most. ------------------- --------- ( CURRENTLY BEING REWRITTEN )
