Once again. No ownage of Twilight.

I'd like to give a big shout out to Maria Tanya Cullen, who has made me feel loved with all the faveing; and to stariinights, who kicked my butt into gear about giving Viola her piece of action. It was always gonna come but I just needed a little push to actually find a way to make it work. Thank you to both of you, you rock de awesomeness.

Chap 7 and 8 were written as one long one but cut in half cause I have this weird liking for all my chapters to be of similar lengths. I know, pathetic. But you get two for the price of one. I am ON a ROLL!

~~~Bella's~~~POV~~~

Jacob and Seth weren't alone. They had Fredrick with them, as well as two guys I recognized from Sam's pack. One was very tall and lanky while the other was more muscular. All five looked beat up, although the guys from Sam's pack appeared to have come out the worst. Viola appeared to go across the clearing in a second, which freaked all of us out slightly. How'd she get there so fast?

"Freddie, you alright?" All Viola's movements were jerky and hesitant, as if she was holding something back.

"Viola, I'm fine. Immortal remember?" Freddie placed his hands on her shoulders, making her stand still. "Besides, these boys here," he guestured to Jake and Seth, "did a pretty good job on those two."

At the mention of 'those two' Viola turned to glare at the two boys.

"You attacked Freddie. Why?"

Unfortunately neither boy seemed intimidated by Viola. "He was on our territory, and we don't take well to trespassers." Viola looked about to reply when Nahuel called out to her.

"Viola, let Jacob deal with this, ok? It's wolf business." Freddie grabbed Viola's hand and began to pull her toward Nahuel and Leah, Viola looked reluctant to leave but followed anyway. I thought back to the incident at school, she was obviously very protective of her family.

Jacob nodded, and assumed his role as Alpha. "The boy meant no harm, and is obviously no threat. Why did you harm him?"

The taller boy shrugged. "We're under instructions to attack all trespassers until the identity of the white wolf is discovered." Viola's teeth visibly clenched at this and even the two boys noticed.

"Hey what's up with her?"

Freddie answered for Viola, "She's very protective of family, she tends to get a little… tense at the idea of us getting hurt." The two boys just laughed at this, obviously amused and I heard Freddie mutter, "Viola, control yourself. Do you really want everyone to find out?" I watched as Viola sighed and agreed to control herself. Satisfied Freddie went over to talk to a few of the other werewolves.

After a few more questions, Jacob released the boys although he swore he'd go to the elder's about Sam's new policy. The boy's smiled cheekily, they obviously knew they'd gotten away with it. They smiled at Freddie.

"See ya Goodwin. It was a nice brawl, I have to say you put up more of a fight then that sister of yours. What's her name? Virginia?" Both Freddie and Viola glared at them, as they flounced out of the clearing.

"So they're the ones who attacked her…" Freddie took a deep breath before turning to us, "If you don't mind, I'd like a minute to compose myself." He walked off to a tree at the edge of the clearing. Viola smiled softly after him. She stood thinking for a moment, before nodding at Jacob, "I'm just gonna take a walk, be back soon." She ran out of the clearing just as Freddie made his way back to us.

"Where's she going? Is she ok?" He looked concerned. I nodded.

"She said she's just taking a walk. She'll be back soon."

"A walk?" Freddie's eyes widened. "She didn't…" He frowned and began to run in the same direction Viola had went, which I now noticed was the same way the boys had left. "VIOLA!" Uh oh; I had a bad feeling about this. We all followed.

We'd only gotten a little way into the forest when we heard growling and cries of pain from a clearing up ahead. Freddie and Nahuel looked at each other before bursting ahead of the rest of us.

"STOP THAT!" The small brown wolf in the centre of the clearing looked up from biting the muscular boy, obviously surprised. In a second, the wolf made a break for it dashing towards the far edge of the clearing. Unfortunately, Nahuel seemed prepared for this, dashing after it and returning seconds later with the wolf squirming in his arms. He dropped the wolf unceremoniously on the floor and then sat on it, obviously to stop it from getting up again. The wolf growled for a bit, obviously annoyed. The two boys, having dusted themselves off during this period, laughed but soon shut up when the wolf snarled at them, showing its teeth.

Fredrick sat down in front of the wolf, than hit it on the nose. "That is for losing your temper. You have been very, very, naughty!" The wolf whined. "Well you have. You can't keep losing your temper like that, I thought you said you could control yourself." The wolf looked away sadly, obviously regretful. "Oh, Viola… What are we going to do with you?" He rubbed the wolve's snout; all our jaws dropped.

"V..Viola?" Edward choked out. The wolf looked over and nodded its… her… head. "What? How?" I had never seen Edward look so confused. Nahuel stood up.

"Let her get dressed first, then I'm sure she'd be happy to answer your questions. Won't you Viola?" He shot a glance back at the wolf girl and she nodded halfheartedly.

Freddie looked at me, "Bella, could you go with her? Make sure she doesn't run away." Viola rolled her eyes and snorted, an amusing gesture in wolf form before trotting towards a tree at the edge of the clearing. She turned to look at me briefly and I followed.

Finally we reached the tree, where I saw her clothes and shoes were folded up. I stood at the side of the tree while she changed behind, to give her some privacy.

"Run away, humph." I took this to mean Viola was now human and capable of understandable human speech.

"How long have you been a werewolf?"

"Since I was sixteen and a half," she replied matter-of-factly, stepping barefoot from behind the tree. I was surprised to see her hair was straight. She obviously noted it because she added, "It'll be curly again soon. Shifting into wolf form just straightens my hair for a bit… I think to stop me looking like a poodle." I laughed at the joke and held out her sneakers. She took them but didn't put them on, instead moving back to group in the middle of the clearing.

"You could have told us you were a werewolf…" Viola stopped and looked at me. She seemed to be deciding whether to tell me something.

"I'm not a werewolf. Well, not exactly… more of a… Look, let's just get back to the others. I'll explain then." I nodded and fell in behind her, watching with amusement as the ends of her hair began to curl into her normal ringlets.
