As things were getting dangerous Eli and Jake had made a point in visiting their children that had moved on to their own lives to make sure they were all save and knew how to take care of themselves. Most of them chuckled at their adoptive parents worry, but they couldn’t get it out of them. Ever since adopting their first child - a beautiful warlock girl with colorful scales that could hypnotize everyone, if she wanted to show them - they were both quite the doting parents, not just for warlocks.
Their son Alfred was with Jake as he went to visit one of his daughters to make sure she was safe. She was a vampire, like Alfred, living in Madrid. But as they arrived at her place, they found it burning. Jake froze in fear for a moment, before rushing forward, panic and pain gripping him as he called out for her “MARA!!” It made him careless - and borderline stupid, it would seem as he didn’t notice the Shadowhunters and their torches until he had run straight into them. It was a short little fight, the shadowhunters had the distraught father overpowered within moments. They had him on his knees, seraph blades to his neck as they caught sight of his son.
“Alfred...run.” Jake chocked out. But the man, a rune he had been terrified to see prominent on his neck, spoke to Alfred as well.
“Make one move and we cut off his neck.”, he warned the young vampire. “We take both of them with us. Valentine wanted some specimen for his experiments anyway.” the man added to his fellows.
