Mirrors. Terribly named. Mirrors have appeared to be "Imaginary Friends" if they are there from birth, but if the "develop" in a later stage, they can b misdiagnosed as Schizophrenia, paranoia, or psychosis.
Only 1 in 3000 people experience these Mirrors, some striving to make their humans life a misery, full of joy, some mirrors can go even as far as becoming criminally obsessed.
Icarus Narcissus is one of the few that has a Mirror. Yet instead of the mirrors goal to be at his service or the latter, its goal is its own.
Icarus was misdiagnosed with psychosis. But after hard extensive research he figures it out, only a little too late

The Dark Witch: The Nox Haven Series
I'd Like to think I was a good person, before it all began. I didn't cheat on tests, or steal. But throughout my entire life, I was treated if I were a monster. At the age of five, after several agonizing tests, I was diagnosed with Reactive Attachment Disorder. But not even that title could describe just how strange I was. When another kid got hurt, I would cry. Whenever someone else was told a funny joke, I would laugh hysterically. People looked at me as if I were crazy- and for while I agreed with them. That was until I, Caddie Jones, was exiled to Nox Haven Academy, a school for truly special kids. Not the mentally ill, psychotic kind of special but the magical kind. Like witches, vampires, fairies and werewolves. Call me crazy if you want, you wouldn't be the first. But the stories are all true. The supernatural did exist and I was one of them. Life there was cool until suddenly, I was faced with two-faced witches, egotistical princes, hormone driven werewolves, and an army of evil warlocks who were threatening to destroy the world. ... Maybe Nox Haven was a school for psychos after all. ---------------------------------------------------------- Highest Rank: #2 in Paranormal 1st Place winner of The Night Shift's Killer Competition 4/10/16 Illustration by: Stephanie Pitino (www.ClairObscur.fr) (1st book in series)Complete
