Lance was shaking, he felt numb at the moment. He had nowhere to run to nor did he have anyone to help him out at the time. He was stuck. He lost complete control of his body. And that was when Lance discovered, this was really the reason why he was being possessed.

" I gotta get control and find someone! " Lance thought. But he heard familiar chuckling, Ukari being nowhere around. She was in his head. " Don't worry Lance, once I lure that Whitston to a little hidden room, we'll be out of here in no time, " Ukari's voice cooed from Lance's head. Lance couldn't keep his thought's straight. His entire face stung. He could only take a few steps since he had no control of his body. The only thing Lance could do was sit in the emptiness and loneliness of his body has Ukari controlled him.

Meanwhile, Chloe was in her room, trying to take in everything she had just heard. Had they really just said Lance had a crush on her? And why? Why of all people HER?! Suddenly, Chloe heard a slow but soft knock at the door. Muffled giggles of the others in the lounge outside of her room were heard. Maybe it was just Aracely telling Chloe to come out and participate. Maybe it WASN'T Lance. Chloe took a deep breath and answered the door.

It was Lance, but one of his eyes were hidden. And coming from that eye was a familiar faint purple glow from when Cade possessed Ceen. This had to be another Arachne possession. But for now, Chloe had to act natural. See what they wanted. " Hello, Lance, " Chloe spoke.

' Damn it, I'm already out of character, ' Chloe thought.

Lance began to speak, but Chloe didn't pay attention. It was obvious that Lance was hiding his hand. But why?

" Come on, follow me- "

" What's behind your back, Lance? " Chloe asked, cutting Lance off. Lance's calm expression soon changed to a smirk. The glow from under Lance's hair became brighter as Lance's voice distorted into an unfamiliar one to Chloe, but Lance knew as Ukari's.

" Whitston, if you cooperate, this will be an easy elimination, " Ukari spoke. " I'm not giving up yet, just tell me, who are you and what do you want from me? " Chloe asked, her rage obvious, like always. Ukari chuckled. Lance had stopped fighting for control. It was useless. " I'm here for your blood, Whitston, " Ukari responded, her voice grim and Lance's expression blank. " MY LAST NAME ISN'T WHITSTON, DAMN IT! " Chloe shrieked. The others rushed in from the other room. Ukari controlled Lance to force him to turn around. " Sorry, friends, we'll take it to another room, " Ukari responded calmly.

The power suddenly shut off.

" HAS THE DAY COME?! AM I BLIND NOW? " Lillian shrieked. Ceen chuckled and Aracely sighed. " No, Lillian. That bastard just shut off the lights, " David growled. " That bastard was my brother, " France responded.

" That wasn't your brother, Rossenito. It was just my sister doing what I told her to. Oh, did that plan work out better than I thought it would, " A familiar voice chuckled. Both Aracely and Ceen's eyes widened. It was Cade.
