Chapter 12:

Jax and Jude sat at opposite ends of the pentagram they had drawn on the floor of Clary's bedroom. Jax had a book open in his lap and was chanting something in a demon language. The pentagram started to glow a blood red color. A figure started to take shape. In the end a tall figure with white blond hair could be seen.

"I see you have followed my instructions. Good work," Sebastian praised.

"Yes," Jax beamed at the praise.

"What did you tie my spirit to?" Sebastian asked.

"This," Jax held up the pencil.

"You tied my spirit to something so fragile as an easily snapped pencil?" Sebastian snarled, angrily.

"But..." Jax began.

"No. I don't want to here any of your excuses. Just make sure that you guard that pencil with your life," Sebastian cut him off.

"Yes sir," Jax replied, meekly.

"Where is Clarissa?" Sebastian inquired.

"Everybody's out right now. We had to raise you when nobody else was around," Jax told him.

"When will they be back?" Sebastian asked.

"I don't exactly know. They said they would be back before 6:00 P.M.," Jax rushed to add.

"Then I guess we'll just have to wait for them to return," Sebastian began exploring Clary's room.

"You don't know how to play tag?" Vincent was dumbfounded.

"No. I don't know how to play many mundie games," Jace defended himself.

"We'll it's simple. All it is, is one person chasing everybody else," Magnus explained.

"What happens when that person catches one of the people?" Isabelle asked.

"Then the person who is caught becomes the next chaser," Clary explained.

"Great. So who's going to be the first chaser?" Jace inquired.

So to add some spice,

Let's bring villains back,

Cause they're rather nice!
