Alice started to rock back and forth. As Bella reached her Alice snapped out of it and turned to Emmett. "Emmett, someones coming. They're looking for the house, but I don't know why! Damn this would be so much better if Edward was here right now! He's starting to get on my nerves. Emmett can you please go check it out. They should be arriving soon."
Alice released her legs and sat normally. "Bella, Why don't me and you go up to my room or Edwards. I can give you a makeover!" Alice appeared to be back to her regular self. She shot Emmett a warning glance and took Bella's hand.
"Come on, Remember I didn't get these human things when I was young. I was in the dark all the time, you could try and make it a little easier on me." Alice whinned continuously.

Sean smiled but it faded into a grimace, "Maybe, I should have knocked and saved Alice the trouble, I am causing panic... just like the Volturri" he said to himself and then he parked his BWM by the other stunning vehicles.
He walked towards the door, the door to his knew life he hoped. He laughed, in spite of it all but then came to the door, he was about to knock but he stopped himself.
"Maybe, I shouldn't" he thought but then quickly figuring it was being foolish. He knocked on the Cullen's door.

"Makeover?"
Bella's eyes narrowed suspiciously. The quick change of subject was alarming, even if Alice's voice was free of worry. As Alice took her hand and whined away, trying to drag her upstairs, Bella fought to stay in place.
"Alice, what's going on? Who's coming?" Bella's voice raised a pitch and a half in alarm. "Tell me the truth. Is it someone threatening to...me?" Wild thoughts of escapement ran threw Bella's mind. She really didn't want to make it awkward for the Cullens again. Last time another vampire outside the family met them, they were trackers and tried to hunt Bella. If it weren't for the Cullens trying everything in their powers to stop them, she'd be dead. Bella didn't want an episode like that to happen. Maybe she could book it out the back door....Oh but the start up of her truck's engine would get the attention of anyone within a 5 mile radius...Maybe she could convince them to let her take the Porsche...
"Alice, tell me the truth. I don't want to make this awkward for you...I can leave now if you want..."

Alice's hand dropped from Bella's arm. "It's just a procationary, nothing to worry over. I'll meet you upstairs ok? Edward would kill me, if that was possible, if you fell. So go up the stair very carefully, and don't be silly, Bella. Just go play." Alice pushed Bella towards the stairs, before Bella could answer, she picked her up and flew up into Edwards room. She closed the door quickly, running back down the stairs.
"By all means Emmett don't get up and help!" Alice growled. She threw the door open to find the person from her vision on the door step. "Is their something I can help you with sir?" Alice's voice was calm, almost to calm.

Sean looked sickly*, he as we always has. His face was paler then normal vampires, and shadows under his eyes seemed a deeper purple, "Alice, I am Sean Frost, and well; I am an ex member of the Volturri" he said his voice nervous, soft, barely audible to the human ear and of course his slight british accent was evident.
"I am no danger to Bella, even though Aro says her blood is like your senses have been caught in a tempest" he said looking at his black and grey plaid converse.
"I wish to join, your family, your cause..." he said his voice still weak, " I beg you, those monsters in Voltera" he added shuddering by the mere memory of 'dinner' time.
"Alice, may I come in and fully explain myself" he asked his eyes still towards the ground.
(*Not anorexic looking just ill, more pallid the other vampires, dark shadows under the eyes. He still is strong just not buff looking like Emmet.)

Alice looked over the pale boy, Sean as he called himself. "And how do I know for sure Bella is in no trouble?" Alice's eyes went blank for a short minute. "Fair enough. You can come in." Alice opened the door letting Sean walk forth. She hated the Voturri, and he exclaimed to be a former Voturri. This could not be good. For all Alice knew for now was that he had not decided fully of what he wanted.
"Are you sure you could handle it? We don't need another incident here."

Sean smiled warmly at her, he was a pleasant person and that was clearly visible,
"Alice.." he said his pale face gaining a little colour,
" I am of no danger to her, thats all I can say... Just like Jasper I can be around mortals" he said his heart flooding into every word,
"I have converted Alice, I have drank from a human only once and never again. I get my blood from the wildlife, I wish to be like you guys... you don't know what it is like to be around the Volturri full time" he said, he shivered slightly just thinking of them.

Alice nodded. "And how do you know all of our names? Jasper, Bella, and I?" She asked curiously.
It was a little odd that Sean knew their names, although he was a former member of the Voturri. Aro or Caius or even any other member could have told him our names, but why our family there was Tanya's family in Denali.
"No I don't know what it's like to live with the Volutrri, and I hope I don't ever know." Alice smiled stiffly.

Sean smiled sheepishly, "I know your names through Aro, sorry if that seems creepy" he said looking to his feet again,
"yah, it isn't the most humble place to live... and this is why I quite them to come here, they talk so fondly of you all, and less of the other families...Aro misses you all" he said with an unforgettable smile, though he felt guilty for she said 'I hope I don't ever know', so the words that he missed them meant something different for them, for her.
He looked back at the door nervously, "Lets just say that if I went back there, there wouldn't be a welcome home party.... The only one who liked me was Aro, I miss him but he hinted I would be better off here" he told Alice before he looked at her with what looked like puppy dog eyes.
"So what do you say; family" he said with a perky voice and expressions.

"I'm not to sure on where you could stay and what Eward and the rest would say, but I suppose we can't just keep you outside." Alices voice was weary, unsure of how this was fully going to play out. She also knew that Carlisle would be upset if she turned someone down who wanted to join their way of living.
Alice led Sean into the living room. Surprised to find that Bella hasn't whinned to come out yet. "I wouldn't doubt that their wouldn't be a welcome home party there. Actually I'd be quite surprised if there was. Anyways, why did Aro suggest our family? There would have to be some explanation." Alice's voice began to soften a bit, it wasn't so harsh.

"ALICE!"
Bella pounded on Edward's door with her fist.
"LET ME OUT!"
After much pounding, and kicking, and screaming, Bella huffed and puffed her way to sit on the couch in Edward's room. She bent forwards, laying her head in her hands. Was this situation so serious Alice had to lock her in a separate room? What was going on down stairs? Bella breathed deeply, hoping to be let in on the secrets soon, or she'd have to climb out the window. And knowing her, she'd probably slip and fall and almost break her neck, and she could all blame it on Alice. Humph.

Sean sighed, "Apparently, he thinks Carlisle could get me some blood from the blood bank to sooth the urge, and ease me into the conversion, Aro... well Aro didn't always have humans in all the time, some times he got blood from blood banks" he said with a faint smile.
"Listen, the only time I... kill a mortal was because she was dying, she asked me to... and...." he stopped speaking but found the power to continue, "that was the last and only time, the rest was from animals or the blood bank, I assure you that was the only time" he finished and it was obvious that was the truth.
"I believe I hear Bella calling" he said but didn't go to open the door, that wasn't his place, and maybe it would never be, he sighed out loud again and just looked at Alice,
"I know that blood from a blood bank is almost the same as from a human and that I could easily do without it, personally I didn't want to drink any of it. Back when my mortal friend died the taste lingered in my memory for months; it took a while to get back to animal blood" he added and his smile faded,
" Alice, I came here to be around people who wouldn't mock me more about going 'vegetarian' and I want to be around mortals, I want to be sort of normal" he pleaded.

Alice nodded. He truly sounded sinsire, maybe he could do it. "I'm sorry but it's not just up to me, you can stay for now and when Carlisle comes back I will talk to him. For now you can stay here, and you're right, I can hear her as well. I better let her out before Edward kills me for holding her hostage. Will you please wait here, it will only take a second." With that Alice raced up the stairs to Edwards room.
Alice opened the door quietly. "I'm sorry Bella it was a mistake, you can come down now. I will warn you there is someone new in the house. He means you no harm, I'll know if he'll try something" Alice simply tapped her temple with her index finger and winked. "I'll introduce you as best as I can, but please for your safety stay close." Alices smile was promising. She quickly grabbed Bella's wrist.

Sean heard the conversation, he wasn't deaf, he sighed but waited for her to come down, he had to be a proper human, bow,etc... He looked towards the stairs and waited.
"Well show time, time to become a 'vegetarian'" he said softly so only he could hear it.
He found a couch to sit on and sat there waiting, he looked charming in an old fashion sort of way.

Just then, Esme came walking in throught the back door, the one leading to the garage. "Bell-- oh, hello. Can I help you in any way?" she said confused. She saw the motorcycle outside but thought that Bella had just begun her extreme sports façade again, though Edward wouldn't be too happy with that.
Who was this stranger standing in the living room? "Alice?" she called. "Bella?" but they were no where to be seen. What was going on around here?
