This is a response to Marie Potter Riddle's challenge in which after Edward leaves Bella in New Moon, Bella starts to hear cries in the night. She soon becomes a banshee who's whole goal is to kill the one who made her suffer: Edward. Will he save her? That's yours to decide!
A/N: Hey everyone! I know that I haven't updated my other stories in forever. I have a bad case of writers block on those stories, and I'm hoping that I can get through it eventually. Anyways this story is a response to a challenge and I'm not sure where I'm going to go with it yet.

Bella's POV
It had been two months since he left, and took my heart away with him. Every day the pain I feel doesn't get any better, if anything it's been getting worse. He took away everything that would remind me of him and his family. I'm starting to regret the decision that I made to actually go to my birthday party that the Cullen's had thrown for me, I mean it was nice and everything…Well maybe it was a bit over the top for just a simple small party but they were really excited about the party. And now they're gone, my best friend and her family not even saying goodbye to me. The love of my life, the person I wanted to spend my life with told me that he didn't love me anymore. The minute he said that to me my world fell apart around me, I couldn't form words, hell I could barely breathe. I keep my window open at night hoping against all hope that it was just a dream and that he'd show up and stay by my side until I wake up from this nightmare and then comfort me and tell me that it was a dream and that he wasn't going anywhere, but I knew I was just lying to myself.
I looked out the window once again but not because I'm hoping Edwa…that he would come through it but instead I look out the window because I heard what sounds like cries through the calm night. I had no idea why it seemed like only I could hear these cries, but whenever I did hear these cries I never said anything to anyone since my head would jerk at the sudden appearance of the noise but everyone else would just continue on like nothing had happened. The times I hear the cries has been increasing lately, it had started when I was only missing Edw…him and I thought about the fact that he had left. But it had slowly gotten to the point where I heard the cries more often than not, and the cries no longer startled me when they started.
I continued to look out the window hoping against all hope that he really would come through the window but instead of seeing the love of my life in the window I saw a woman. Or at least I think it was a woman. She had blood red eye and it looked like she had blood tears running down her face as well and had pure white hair and was wearing a frayed pure white dress. I took a step back and tripped when I saw her there since I wasn't expecting anyone to show up.
"Wh-what are you?" I managed to say with a slight quiver in my voice.
The banshee just stared at me and then she opened her mouth and at the moment I realized that the cries I had been hearing up until then were from her. The cries that she emitted now were different from the ones that I had heard earlier. The cries from before were quite and sounded far way like an echo of the pain that I felt, now it felt like it was ripping apart my head and body. I felt all of the emotional pain that I had felt about Edward and his family, and I began to cry out all of the tears that I had been holding back for so long. I smelled something that smelled like rust and salt and reached to my eyes and on my fingers I saw that my tears were my blood. I began to feel dizzy from the smell of the blood and fell to the ground. The last thing that I remember before blacking out from a combination of the smell of the blood and the ripping pain through my body was that the hair that had fallen in my face was white.
Alice's POV
I was mad at my older brother, Edward; he had made me leave my best friend and unwilling shopping partner. Worse thing yet is that he said that this was what was best for our family, but our family is falling apart. Edward never leaves his room and he refuses to listen to anything but Bella's favorite songs, her lullaby included. Emmett and Rosalie almost always argued about Bella since Emmett had seen her as a younger sister, and Rosalie hated her because she wanted to give up her human life. Esme hardly ever spoke and was probably thinking that she had lost yet another child. Carlisle spent as much time as he could at the hospital working as much as he could without making it look suspicious. Jasper was beating himself up since he blamed himself as the reason why the family was falling apart. He was always beating himself up for the slip that he had during Bella's birthday.
I was suddenly taken out of my mental rant to myself about how our family had fallen apart by a vision. I saw Bella looking out the window longingly and I felt so sorry to her for leaving her alone like that. What I saw next terrified me, I saw a woman with long white hair and a white dress. She starting crying and I saw Bella start crying blood and saw her pass out as she started changing. I saw her hair turn white as well as a long white frayed dress take form on Bella's body.
As I snapped out of my vision I collapsed to the ground and started dry sobbing. Jasper was by my side in a second sensing my despair from the living room. He took me around his arms and started to comfort me until I could calm down enough to tell him what I had seen. I really wished that right now I could cry, with the amount of anguish that I felt. I finally was able to calm myself down and Jasper looked down at me.
"What did you see?" He asked me softly.
"…Bella…" I said barely above a whisper.
"Edward told you not to look into her future didn't he? If you saw something happen to her it must have been bad if you saw something about her as well as feel such despair as you feel now."
I nodded and then looked at him, "I wasn't looking it just happened. I saw Bella looking out the window, and I have a feeling that she does that a lot, but this time she was confronted by a banshee…Jasper she's been transformed into a banshee…and it's all our fault, this happened to her because we all left her."
Jasper shook his head,"No it wasn't because we left that caused that kind of pain to her, it was because Edward left her. We have to tell the other what happened to Bella, she's going to come after us now because our family is all part of the pain even if Edward is the main focus of it."
Alice nodded and pulled out her cell phone and sent a text message to the rest of the family that they all had to come home ASAP. She waited until she got replies from the rest of the family before putting her phone away and the two of them walked down to the living room and waited for everyone else to get home.
