Chapter 4-The Bump, The Scream, And The Joy of Bath Time.

This Chapter is mostly about Clary. At the end there is a little part of Jace. It's more of a "serious" chapter, its not suppose to be THAT funny=)Its not my favorite chapter I've writen AT ALL, im really sick though and i dont have much of a "jokeing" mind right now, But it's important to read. THANKS!

Finally Clary got home from investigating. Right when she walked in the door she ran to see Jace. Totally ignoring the dim, candled room and Alec playing spin the bottle with fruit dressed in an orange robe. Jace was in the bathtub. Of course it was 7:30 she should have known. Then Valentine came down the hall holding a book.

"Hey Val" Clary said. Valentine closed his book and looked up at her.

"Hello, Clarissa what were you doing out at this hour?"

"OH nothing just went to dinner with a few friends of mine" Clary hated to lie to a guy that could kill her with his pinky in a second, but she didn't want him to know about Jace. "Well, I should get ready for bed now. Goodnight Valentine." She said.

"Goodnight young one." He said and continued down the hallway reading his book called "Easy Killing, for the lonely, depressed, unloved, idiots of the world."

Then Clary saw a shadow coming from down the hall. Church. "Hey Church, where's Isabelle?" Surprisingly Church didn't take her to the food dish this time. The cat led her to Isabelle who was with Magnus in the library.

"Oh, hi Clary, we were just thinking about you, come sit." Magnus said. Clary went and sat on the little brown chair beside them. "I think we should talk about something." She said reaching for a cheesnip.

"What should we talk about?" Isabelle asked sipping her cup o coffee.

"Jace" Clary said

Isabelle rolled her eyes "We always hear about him, let's talk about fun things like dancing, love, Passion, and-"Magnus cut her off.

"How about we don't and say we did Isabelle. I have no time for you straight people's idea of FUN."

"Guys, this is serious. Jace has been acting really weird and today something really weird happened." Clary said. "He took off his shirt and everyone, and I mean everyone stared to stare at him but me. When he put it back on it all went back to normal."

Magnus stared at her with curious, worried, serious eyes. "He really is Hypnotizing people including me." He started staring at the table. "When he came home today, I felt strange; I felt a way that I've never felt before. I couldn't get away from him. It's like he was magnetizing me. Alec was the same. We both set up this really nice scene for him. And the only thing I remember was lying on his Bed- OH MY GOSH! This is really bad. I think I might know what's causing this, Excuse me I have to go check something." He said and left the room.

"Well that was Odd" Isabelle said. "I wonder why they are being hypnotized; I don't feel anything when I look at him."

"Yea me neither. I set up and appointment with Doctor Mocha though, Thursday at 3 o clock. I'm going to find out the problem."

"You go girl! Cheesenip?"


"Jacey Wasey You're the one you're the one, you make bath time lots of fun Jacey Wasey I'm awfully found of you. OO OO OO OOOO." Jace sang while he was brushing his teeth. "Nice and White, Just the way I like them. Now for my Night Face cream." After Jace was finally done with his face he put the scrunching things in his hair and was off to bed.

NIGHT------DAY!

Morning was same old same old. Jace sat at the breakfast table with Isabelle, Alec, Max, Clary, and Valentine. Where's Magnus though? Nobody knew, he was probably practicing his tricks. For breakfast Izzy served burnt French toast with expired skim milk to top it off. Jace left the table early to go for a spin in his motorcycle. Just a quick spin around the town wouldn't hurt, nobody would get hypnotized or anything weird like that. As he was riding down the road he passed the tanning salon, marble slab ice-cream, McDonald's, Subway, and Luggage the STORE. He liked the feeling of the morning breeze run through his hair, and he liked watching the birds fly from tree to tree. Most of all Jace liked the way he drove, so fast, and perfect. He liked to make the other dudes who looked like Santa on their motorcycles look like want to bees. As he made the corner onto Fourth Street he spotted Simon standing outside some Chinese massage place. (Jace always wanted to go there, but hasn't had the time lately) Simon waved to him and Jace waved back. At that moment Jace felt a bump, a scream, and a frightening look on Simon's face. What was that? He thought.
