BPOV
He was gone.
With shaky legs, ignoring the fact that my action was useless, I followed him into the forest… If I stopped looking for him it was over.
Love, life, meaning…over. (New Moon by Stephenie Meyer, 73).
With aimless steps, I wandered deeper and deeper into the blackening woods. The wind turned icy and bit repeatedly at my arms, but I was too numb to care. The sky started to spew thick water into my now soggy hair, but I was too numb to care. My mouth opened in a terrifying shriek as I felt my heart shattering into a million pieces, leaving my chest to become one with the wind and rain.
My knees gave and I fell into the mud, too numb to care I left myself to lie there. I was no longer one with my body, I was simply soul detached and broken. The air became thick with my sobs as I watched my body sob into the night.
"Please, please no! I'm begging you, no! Don't go, don't leave me." I reached down to the sobbing, barely coherent girl. She was weak, controlled and destroyed by her foolish love of a man. "Come back! Take away the pain, please…please." While I realized that she meant for her cries to meet her lover's ears and lure him back to her, I took her cries with a different meaning. I could take away her pain, bring her the numbness she so craved, all she had to do was accept me. Her dormant side. The part of her that understood that there was no such thing as good and evil, that it was all simply pain and release. He caused her pain and I could bring her release. If she so allowed, she would become an immortal avenger for scorned women, bringing them the same release I could give her.
With a sweet exhale, my song filled the air, reaching the ears of the vulnerable girl. With a start her head rose and she looked around helplessly.
"Hello? Who's there?" Her voice came out in a hoarse whisper that sliced through the air despite her low volume.
I smiled, she would be perfect.
"Hello dear Bella," though my voice now sounded soft and seductive, I knew the fear it could instill with one word if I so wished, "You do not know me, but I do know you, for I am a dormant spirit in you. A side that has never seen the light of day, but that has been watching, waiting for its day to shine. If you so wish I will become active, and take away all of your pain. But beware, for my presence has a price. If you are to allow me in you will become an immortal being. What do you say, my Bella? Would you like me to take away the pain?"
"Yes, yes please, I beg you take it away. I don't care about the price. I just want it to go away," she responded without even a moment of hesitation. My smile grew, that's my girl.
"As you wish," I closed my eyes and willed my soul to melt back into my body.

I stood up with a grace this body has never known.
It was time, the siren lives.
I opened my now full, luscious, irresistible lips and let my song soar.
Vengeance will be sweet.
