Legacy: A Twilight Fanfiction

Chapter Six

Alex was sitting in the living room with Seth's arm wrapped around her. They were both sipping orange juice was watching something on TV. They were both perfectly content not saying a word to each other, just enjoying each others presence. When a car pulled in the garage, neither of them as much as acknowledged it. The door opened and Seth and Alex jumped apart. Alex was startled by the just how quickly Seth moved and how alert he appeared.

"Seth, what..." Alice started as she walked into the living room. "What's going on, Seth?" Alice looked at the two on them. Seth was well composed and calm, while Alex looked like Alice had just walked in on a lot more than just snuggling.

"What are you two doing here?" she asked again, after getting no response for the first time.

Alex felt like she'd lost control of her vocal cords, like if she opened her mouth, she didn't know what would come out. And with how nervous she was, she was slightly worried her lunch was one of the things that could slide out.

Carlisle said Alice already knew that she was her long lost relative but she wasn't sure how to go about explaining that she knew. And then, she would have to explain why she was here with Seth of all people.

Seth suddenly stood up, pulled Alex onto her feet and smiled at Alice.

"I would like to introduce you to your great, great granddaughter, Alex Brandon," he said, taking the pressure off of Alex.

Alex smiled nervously, not really sure what she was supposed to say or do in this kind of situation. They don't have a book on how to introduce yourself to long lost vampire relatives. Before Alex could figure out a single word to say, she found that Alice had thrown her arms around her in a giant hug.

"I can't believe you're here, its amazing knowing I have a relative," she said, hugging Alex tighter.

"Can't breath," Alex whispered. Alice released her arms and gave a guilty smile.

"Let me look at you!" Alice was really starting to sound like a grandparent. She remembered the last time she had been with her grandmother. They were at a school play and she announced how happy she was that Alex was finally growing boobs. Hopefully Alice would not do that.

"Wow, you do look like me," she whispered, now getting a closer look at the small human.

"You must tell me about yourself, where you grew up, what are your interests, do you like shopping, oh my gosh, there is so much I want to know about you!" Alice was getting more excited by the second.

"There's not much to tell, I grew up in Boston, my mom died and now I'm here," she summed it up quickly, knowing Alice would have already known about her mother being killed.

"How do you like it here?" Alice asked, as she and Alex both sat down. Seth sat down beside Alex causing Alice's expression to become confused.

"Wait, why are you here with him?" Alice asked, looking at Seth.

"Seth is the one who brought me here," Alex whispered nervously. "He told me about you guys and what you are and what he is."

"But, I thought you weren't supposed to tell humans unless... oh no! Seth really! On Alex!" she cried, figuring it out really quickly.

"You know I couldn't control it," he said.

Two vampires Alex had not met before walked in the room. Alex assumed they were Edward and Bella. Edward looked uncomfortable, clearly already knowing what was going on.

"You were enrolled into Forks High to watch her, not to imprint on her," Alice cried, standing up and pacing.

Seth had explained that he'd wanted to go back to school and Alice had suggested Forks High so he could make sure Alex was safe, so she wasn't surprised to hear this come up.

Upon seeing Bella and Edward, she looked back at Seth.

"I swear if you try to give her any weird nicknames, I will end you," she screamed.

"I guess you can't call me Lexicon anymore," Alex whispered, feeling him tense up behind her. Alice's eyes shot over to Seth, who looked almost as pale as her.

Edward let out a snort of laughter and Bella gave a small grin as well.

"Are you trying to get me killed?" he gasped.

"Okay, I'll calm down but Seth, really!" she said rubbing the sides of her head, like she had a headache. "You're lucky Alex is here."

Alex and Alice sat and talked for a few more minutes before Seth looked at the time and nudged Alex.

"We actually need to go, my curfews in 30 minutes," Alex muttered, not really wanting to leave.

"Let's go shopping tomorrow," Alice suggested. "The two of us." The last part seemed pointed at Seth.

"I don't have much money," Alex whispered, looking at the ground.

"Nonsense, you're family. You don't need to bring money," Alice said. "I'll pick you up at noon."

Back in the car Alex smiled at Seth. "Did you have a nice time, Seth?"

"Absolutely, nothing better than meeting the parents," he muttered digging out his keys.

"Can we get ice cream on the way?" she asked, knowing he'd say yes.

"Whatever you want, Lexicon," Seth said. For a second Aliex thought she heard an angry growl in the distance. Seth paled a shade, indicating he'd heard it as well.

That night, as Alex was eating dinner, she couldn't wipe the grin off of her face.

As she breathed, she could smell Seth on her shoulders and that brought her to a happy and joyous state of mind. Seth had explained imprinting, so she knew not to be surprised by the intensity of their relationship. But it was a little frightening. It was like a rollar coaster. The ride was terrifying, left your stomach at your feet, and dizzy as hell.

But it was worth every second.
