Adley's POV
I'm training right now to clear my head and as I just keep hitting the punching bag my anger just gets stronger and stronger. I've never felt like this before. I don't know how to handle this. I just don't
Jace's POV
As I walk in the training centre I see Adley training and it's clearly a use of distraction. She just looks so upset right now and angry. Alec comes beside me and watches her with me.
"Distraction?" He asks me
"Knowing her yeah" I reply while folding my arms. "Alec this just isn't her. It's like she's... I don't know." I try and think
"Lost her spark in herself?" Alec suggests "Yeah, she's just not that perky, she's just dark and hurt. I'm trying to think of everything to help her through this while also giving her space." I mention to him
"Me too, I know you and Clary said wait till she comes to us but it's so hard to just wait. I just want to help her, she's my niece and I've always done my best to be there for her." Alec tells me and he really is an amazing uncle to her. I appreciate him a lot for that.
"I know you do and I appreciate that and she does too. I feel the same way right now as well Alec. My own daughter, having this much pain it kills me inside. This is something a father never wants to see their own child going through. I just keep thinking of when she was little and always cheery and energetic." Now I'm having flashbacks great.
"In a way I get that. If Madzie or Brea were like this I would just want to hold them and try and make everything ok again." Alec says
"I would try and do that but she's totally in her own head space. It's not easy" I just look at Adley and at a good timing too because she looks dizzy and over worked. We see her almost about to faint and I just shout. "Adley!" I run up to her and catch her quick. "Honey, Adley" I try and get her to focus and some Shadowhunters come up to us and Alec bends down to the other side of her while I'm holding her in my arms. I grab my stele and heal her iratze rune and she opens her eyes.
"Ad's?" Alec checks and Adley takes a big slow but deep breath. Her eyes also start to get a bit more focused.
"Are you ok?" I ask her trying to stay calm. "Yeah, I just overworked myself, that's all. Thank you dad" Adley tells me and hugs me in a fast movement.
"Honey, get some rest please. This isn't good for your health." I tell her in a worried tone. "Adley maybe you should take a bit of a break from training and hunting ok. Just relax your mind" I suggest to her
"Yeah, overworking yourself is the worst thing you could do right now. What you need is time." Alec advises her as well. Adley nods and takes slow breaths.
"Yeah, you guys are right. I'm sorry for scaring you like that." Adley apologizes to us and I bring her in a tight hug and she hugs me back.
"It's ok, as long as you're ok, we're ok." I tell her and hold her tight and put my hand on the back of her head and kiss her forehead. I realize she doesn't let go yet so I rub her back. Alec and I look at each other with a worried look and Adley slowly let's go. Alec hugs her too and the same thing happens. All she wants is to feel safe now.
"I'm just gonna draw or paint in my room." Adley tells us and as she walks away I pat her shoulder.
"This isn't good Jace" Alec tells me, duh "I know, I know" I say to him and put my hands on the table and look down. Where has my angel of a daughter gone?
Alec and Jace are really worried about Adley, everyone is. Is she ever going to be ok? ❤️
