After I finished writing my letter to Carlisle and Esme I decided to just find Seth and ask him if we could write to Emily—maybe even invite her and Sam to visit us while we were here at Shiz—it would make my life less miserable, since I was refusing to take sides in my roommates' fight—against each other. As I set off in search of Seth, some of the other students said, "You're supporting the green bean over Miss Galinda, are you crazy?" Nessa wheeled over to me and thought to me, How could you support Miss Galinda Upland over your own sister?I sighed and said, "Oh, no." I spun on my ankle and took off running. I darted down the hallway, and muttered to myself, "Oh, come on, Alice, see that I'm in trouble and get me out of here." As I ran, I saw Seth, and he grinned at me. I grabbed his hand and said, "Come on, Seth. We gotta run." "What happened?" he growled. Holding up my hands, I ordered, "Calm." Seth nodded and I said, "Everyone, but Nessa thinks I'm taking Elphaba's side against Galinda and Nessa thinks I'm taking Galinda's side against Elphaba, but I'm not. I'm—I expressed a desire to remain neutral—being Switzerland." "Bella?" He asked. I nodded swiftly and said, "Let's just go, before they find us." Seth nodded and said, "Alice isn't far—just down the hall—she's waiting for you." I nodded, gratefully, and took off running again.

Nessa wheeled after me—and the others followed her. Elphaba saw Nessa following me and asked, "What is it?" "Is our sister going against you—siding with Miss Galinda?" "No," Elphaba replied. "So she's on your side," Nessa guessed. "No," Elphaba replied. "Then whose side is she on?" Nessa demanded. "No one's," Elphaba said. "She is neutral—in her words, 'I am Switzerland.'—I'm hoping one of the Cullens can explain what she meant by that." "We'd better help her, though," Nessa said, glancing in the direction that the students had run. "They won't give her a chance to explain and they're chasing her—hope she runs fast."

I soon saw Alice, who grabbed me and half-threw me to Rosalie, who began running. I scrunched up my face, closed my eyes tightly, and curled up into a ball. When we stopped, I was flung onto a bed. I grimaced and slowly sat up, when suddenly, I choked and sank back into the bed. My head spun and I just lay still until I could get up—I felt a vision coming on and I groaned. Sitting up slowly, keeping my eyes closed to see my vision more clearly, I said, "Nessa, Seth, stop her." Rosalie raised her eyebrows and said, "Go, stop Nessa, before she gets herself hurt." I nodded and prepared to leave when Alice entered the room.

I looked up and Alice said, "Makeover time." I glared at her and said, "No." Alice nodded and Renesmee skipped in and said, "Hi, Aunt Madison." "Hey, Nessie," I replied. "How's Jacob?" "Fine," she told me. Turning to Alice, she asked, "Where are my parents?" "Right here, Renesmee," Bella said, entering the room. I sighed as I watched Bella and Edward enter the room.

Edward looked at me and said, "Your roommates hate each other and all the students think you're taking Elphaba's side over Galinda. Nessa did think you're supporting Galinda instead of Elphaba, but now thinks that the students want to murder you. She's debating telling Seth." I sprang to my feet then, and said, "She can't. She'll get hurt. Or Elphaba will—it's bad enough that my face got ripped off—I won't let my sisters get hurt—I'll go talk her out of telling Seth." Edward nodded and I raced to find Nessa.

I found her, just as she found Seth. "Seth, I need to talk to you," Nessa began slowly. I raced over to her, and clamped my hand over her mouth. I pulled her away and said, "Just being paranoid." As soon as we were away from Seth, I released her. "What was that for, sister?" Nessa snarled at me. "I was trying to protect you." "So was I, Nessa, I was trying to protect you." I snapped back. "Besides, if Seth gets upset, no one, except for me, can tell him to remain calm—only I can tell him what to do for that matter—no one, not even you." I growled at her. She glared at me. Elphaba arrived and giving each of us one look, said, "I'll leave." I shook my head and Nessa said, "Fabala, no, stay." Elphaba nodded and I said, "Nessa nearly upset my best friend—you can't just tell a—Seth—that I'm in trouble or something and expect him to remain calm—it's not his nature, besides, Nessa, I already told Seth that I was neutral—Switzerland." Elphaba threw up her hands, completely frustrated. "Will you please explain to us what you mean by that?" she yelled at me. "My sister, Bella, when she was dating Edward, my best friend's family and my family didn't get along—so to stop the fighting over her, so they could focus on killing Victoria, Bella declared herself neutral—declared herself Switzerland. I got the idea from her."

Elphaba and Nessa both nodded. Then I said, "Elphaba, you can go now." "I'll stay," Elphaba replied. I nodded and began thinking what I'd wanted to say to Nessa. Okay, Nessa, here's why I stopped you from talking to Seth.Nessa nodded and said, "You're going to talk, right?" I shook my head and sent the vision into her head. Nessa raised her eyebrows in confusion.
