That’s for me to know and for you to figure out - pt.11

Panic Imagine -- Dodge Mason x OC (Reese Silvers) -- pt.11

A girl from a wealthy family wants to get out of Carp just as much as everyone else. With the new guy in town, she seems to be a bit more distracted than she had hoped. And those who once were her friends just may be the ones who will throw her into the deep end. Will panic be what she hopes, or will she fall into the depths of deceit and lies?

“Luke Hall is taking bets on Panic. That’s why he’s back in town.” Heather said as she sat on my bed.

“To track the game?” I asked. 

“Or to fix it.” She said.

“Fix it?” I asked. 

“Reese think about it, he was at the jump last year. He graduated years ago, isn’t it a little bit weird that he comes back the same summer that two of the leading players die in like freak accidents? That really seems like one hell of a coincidence.” She said. 

“Yeah, both Jimmy and Abby’s deaths are connected to the game, but if Luke is taking bets. Then maybe he’s connected to them too.” I said. 

“Look, I gotta get home but I’ll call you later okay.” She said before leaving.

After Heather left I headed over to Dodge’s place. I walked up and knocked on the door.

“Hey can we talk?” I asked as he answered it.

“Sure, come in.” He said and we made our way to his room. 

“What is it?” He asked. 

“Heather says people are gambling on Panic.” I said.

“Some of them are putting $10,000, $20,000 on each challenge. They think Luke might be in charge.” I added.

“Hmm.” Dodge hummed.

“You’re not surprised.” I said. 

“Because you knew didn’t you?” I asked. 

“Yeah.” He said, pinching the bridge of his nose.

“Cortez suspected ever since he found out about Panic, but he didn’t know enough about the game or how it worked in order to build a case so um he needed a way in.” He said and I scoffed.

“So you’ve been helping him?” I asked. 

“He wants Luke in jail. This is the only way.” He said. 

“Oh okay, so what you’ve been like spying on us this whole time?” I asked. 

“No, I’ve been trying to win.” He said. 

“How does that help Cortez?” I asked.

“It’s not illegal to gamble in Texas okay. But it is a felony to be the house that’s how we’re going to catch him. If I win, we can prove that Luke is getting a kickback as the bookie. That’s what Cortez needs.” He said. 

“So you’re doing this for revenge?” I asked. 

“Cause Heather told me about your sister. I’m not mad that you lied to me, I’m just curious as to why you thought you couldn’t tell me. I told you everything about what happened and you still kept it from me. But it’s really none of my business I guess.” I said. 

“I’m playing for Dayna.” He said. 

“Yeah. I get that. But you lied Dodge, repeatedly. And I just. I can’t trust someone who lies.” I said as I turned around to leave. 

“Reese.” He said. 

“No. I’m out of Panic. I’m done, our alliance is over there’s nothing else to it.” I said. 

“Really? Was sleeping with me just part of the alliance too?” He asked. 

“No. And you know that. But this mess with Cortez, I don’t want any part of it. I’m trying to burn my broken bridges and go down with them and if any of this gets caught up with me it’s going to be a shit show. So I am sorry Dodge but I can’t have anything to do with Panic anymore.” I said before I left. 

When I got home I noticed my brother’s car and made my way inside.

“Hey, didn’t think you’d be home.” I said. 

“Yeah, haven’t been out much lately.” He said and there was a silent pause.

“Rhett, I’m out of Panic. I got eliminated.” I said, and his eyes shot up to meet mine. 

“I swear to you, I’m gonna get the money. I will help you find a way.” I said and he only sighed.

“Reese, this isn’t your fight you need to quit trying so hard. I got us into this, you weren’t even supposed to be involved in this.” He said. 

“But I am. And if you don’t find the money Rhett. He is gonna kill you.” I said. 

“Maybe not.” He said.

“Maybe we could go to the cops see if Cortez can help.” He said. 

“Thats a bad idea, the cops won’t help if they know why you were there and Cortez is dirty Rhett.” I said. 

“What do you mean?” He asked. 

“Cortez is trying to pin something on Luke, something big. But I know Luke didn’t do it.” I said. 

“What?” He asked. 

“On Halloween 3 years, Dodge’s sister was in a hit and run and it left her paralyzed. Cortez has Dodge convinced it was Luke who hit her but I know it wasn’t.” I said. 

“I was with Ray on Halloween that year. It was freshman year, Ray wouldn’t shut up about how his brother was sitting in jail for some stupid thing that he did. But he was in jail, he wasn’t out roaming the streets and hitting people and driving off.” I said. 

“So what? Maybe Cortez got it wrong.” Rhett said.

“Cortez would know Luke was in jail that night, he would’ve already looked into where he was. That would be the first thing, which means I think Cortez is dirty.” I said. 

“Just stay out of it. Don’t get yourself caught Reese.” He said before leaving, but then stopped. 

“Oh this letter was on the porch when I got home.” He said, picking up an envelope with my name written in bold and handed it to me. 

“Thanks” I said, and he left the room. I opened the envelope and a paper was inside. 

TUMBLEWEED MAZE 10PM. ASSIST DODGE IN HIS TASK RULES DOWN BELOW

“Shit.” I muttered. 

I pulled up to the place around 9:45 pm and after about 10 minutes I saw Dodge’s car pull up. 

“What the hell?” He asked as he got out of his car. 

“You’re the welcome committee?” He asked. 

“I guess so.” I said. 

“At least you don’t have to pay for admission.” I added and began walking. 

“Tumbleweed maze? I’m almost offended.” Dodge said. 

“Judges...they’re looking for a specific key. Find it and you’re in. You have one hour. And keep it moving, because every minute you spend looking, well that’s just another point you won’t get.” I said. 

“In three, two, one.” I counted down and he walked towards the barn. 

The next morning we were told to meet at the motor lodge, when I pulled up I went inside and saw that most everyone was already there, I walked over and sat at the table with Heather. 

“Hey.” I said. 

“Hey.” She said. 

“I’m sorry you got out.” She said. 

“It’s all good, Sorry about you too.” I said. 

“Friends, players, former contestants, the results of the individual challenges have been tallied. All the points have been scored. Shawna quit, so she’s out of the game. Dodge is in first place and will be heading to the Joust. The player competing against him is as yet undetermined.” Diggins said. 

“What?! Why?” Ray asked. 

“I mean I stayed long enough in that shithole cooler, didn’t I?” Ray asked. 

“Not long enough to beat Dodge’s time” Summer said.

“The individual challenges aren’t done yet Ray. By order of the judges, Natalie Williams is disqualified for reasons of false representation and failure to complete the required challenges. As punishment the player’s points have been retroactively invalidated.” Diggins said. 

“English please?” Drew asked. 

“The judges wiped Natalies score because she cheated.” Diggins added and Ray laughed.

“She was never in Spurlock’s house. Shouldn’t have even made it to Graybill let alone the final four.” Diggins said. 

“That’s, that’s bullshit. All right that’s hearsay” Nat said.  

“True. We heard you say it.” Summer said.

“That’s a good one Summer.” Nat clapped back.

“No you admitted it in your video that you trapped me underground. That’s nowhere near the house, right?” Heather said.

“Plus someone ratted you out to the judges.” Diggins said. 

“All right, fuck you guys.” Nat said before getting up and leaving.

“You were outside watching the house, Dodge covered for you.” Diggins said, and I turned to look at Dodge. 

“What?” I whispered to Heather and she shrugged her shoulders.

“Wait hold on hold on hold on, wait a second. If Dodge helped Natalie get through the last challenge then why is he still playing?” Ray asked.

“Well he was stealing for two, lucky he didn’t get double the points.” Summer said and people started talking over each other.

“All right settle down, settle down. At the time of the judge’s selection of the Final Three, excluding Natalie, the players in order were Dodge, Ray, and Heather.” Diggins said, and I turned to look at heather with a open smile on my face.

“But Heather missed a challenge.” Drew said. 

“Well she still has her immunity.” Summer said. 

“Given that and Natalie’s disqualification, an exception has been made. Congratulations Heather, the judges ruled you may move on to your individual challenge. Good Luck.” Diggins said. 

As we were leaving I walked out with Heather. 

“Holy fucking shit. This is amazing.” I said to her. 

“I’m so nervous.” She said. 

“Heather this is your chance to win. You have to do everything you can.” I said. 

“And I’m sorry about Nat. She’s a bitch.” I said which made her laugh a little. 

“Looks like it’s down to you and me for joust.” Ray shouted, and I rolled my eyes. 

“I’ll leave you to it.” I said to her as I walked away and headed home.

Later once I was home the doorbell rang and I went downstairs to get it.

“Dodge.” I said as I opened the door. 

“What can I do for you?” I asked. 

“Can I come in?” He asked. 

“Sure.” I said. 

“I’m sorry about before. I’m sorry we argued.” He said. 

“It’s fine. Honestly don’t worry about it.” I said. 

“I’m sorry Natalie screwed you over. I could’ve warned you on that part.” I said. 

“Look I know you’re all set on trying to help Cortez take down Luke Hall but I think you’re exhausting your efforts.” I said. 

“I didn’t come to talk about that.” He said as he walked closer to me as I leaned against the counter in the kitchen.

“Looking back on it, we never really had an alliance did we?” I asked. 

“What do you mean?” He asked. 

“You were always working with Natalie. Trying to get ahead, but I didn’t know. So we never really had an alliance because I couldn’t really trust you even if I didn’t know it.” I said. 

“Did you ever really like me? Or was it a ploy?” I asked. 

“Reese I never would have planned out to get close to you and sleep with you to get an advantage over you in Panic.” He said, sounding a bit hurt that I would suggest that. 

“You suggested it at one point.” I said. 

“I didn’t mean it.” He said.

“I know.” I said. 

“You know, I really did like you Dodge. A lot.” I said.

“Did? As in you don’t anymore.” He said, twisting his lips to the side. 

“So much has happened in so little time, this summer has been crazy but the one thing i’ve managed to keep constant is you.” I said. 

“So no Dodge I didn’t sleep with you because of our alliance, I didn’t just magically erase the feelings I have for you, but things are crazy and if we aren’t on the same page. We cannot do this.” I said. 

“How do we get on the same page Reese? I’m trying.” He said. 

“Cortez is dirty. Plain and simple, you cannot trust him.” I said. 

“I’ll keep my eye out I promise.” He said. 

“And from now on, I’ll tell you everything going on, no more secrets.” He said. 

“Good.” I said, I then leaned in and kissed him, running my hand to the back of his neck. His hand snaked around my waist as he pulled me into him. I broke the kiss only a moment to speak. 

“My brother is home just so you know to keep the volume down to a minimum.” I said, lacing my fingers with his I lead him upstairs and into my room. 

I slipped on my shirt and pants as Dodge put his on. 

“You know Joust is like a big thing in Panic.” I said, sitting back down on the bed and facing him.

“I know.” He said. 

“I’m worried.” I said.

“I am too.” He stated, rubbing his thumb over the back of my hand.

“I’ve gotta go, but I’ll meet up with you later okay?” He asked. 

“Okay.” I said with a smile and he leaned down to kiss me before heading out the door and downstairs to leave. 

After a little while, I heard arguing through the floor and I went out to see what was going on. 

“Do you know how dangerous this is Rhett? You could be killed, you could get your sister killed for god’s sake.” I heard my dad shout.

“Dad?” I asked as I made my way downstairs.

“Reese, why didn’t you tell me about any of this? This is crazy you know better, you both know better.” He snapped.

“Dad I can explain.” I said softly.

“So you do know how bad this is.” He said.

“George.” My mom said.

“No Lemon, you were right in your motion to try and send her off to boarding school. It would have been for her own good, because now she decided to help her dumb ass of a brother get out of situation he ain’t ever shoulda been in to begin with.” He yelled.

“Daddy it’s not as bad as you think.” I tried to reason.

“I always told you that Hall boy was no good for you darlin’“ He said.

“I’m takin this to the cops.” He said.

“No dad you can’t.” I said as I ran to the door. 

“Why Reese.” He asked.

“There is so much that you don’t know okay, but you can’t trust them.” I said.

“At least not Cortez.” I added.

“You’re not makin any sense honey.” My mom said.

“Cortez is dirty okay. He is caught up in bets that are bein made on Panic. I don’t know if he is in on them but if he is it means he’s got his eyes glued on me and everyone else in this stupid game so we cannot trust him. He is trying to take Luke Hall out, and if we aren’t careful he is going to find out what happened and we are all gonna go sinking down with that ship.” I said.

“You’re going to tell us everything.” He said.

Mit Hilfe des Se Discord Channels habe ich eine Liste erstellt, welche top lieblingartists, die se Charaktere hätten, also hier ist es ‼️ (Es ist nur eine Meinung, also nimmt es nicht zu ernst)

Julia ist definitiv ein swiftie. Außerdem hört sie billie eilish und girl in red.

Tahmina hört so Die Ärzte, Red hot chilli peppers und die Spice Girls.

Simon hört definitiv diesen mainstream rap. Er mag kanye West, drake und kendrick. Der beef zwischen drake und kendrick ist für ihn das krasseste, was jemals passiert ist.

Definitiv Beyoncé, Madonna und Adele!

Noah hört Orville Peck, Hozier und Bring me the Horizon.

Seit den letzten Tagen läuft "espresso" von Sabrina carpenter bei nesrin in dauerschleife. Außerdem hört sie Aurora und Avril Lavigne. Manchmal schleicht sich auch ayesha erotica ein, aber nur manchmal!

Was soll ich sagen, mikka liebt die Songs, die minecraft im Spiel drinne hat.

Irgendwo muss Maxi ja ihre Wut auslassen und wo sonst, wenn nicht zu korn oder linkin Park? Wenn sie ausnahmsweise mal gut gelaunt ist, hört sie Lena Meyer-Landrut.

Nura, Nina Chuba, Juju und Sxtn.

Marlon's Musikgeschmack ist sehr vielfältig! Mal hört er joji, mal hört er falco, aber Taylor swift geht bei ihm immer. (Er liebt folklore)

Leon liebt Lady gaga, conan gray und panic at the disco.

Karl hört so diese typische Radio Musik wie Mark foster, Nico santos und Álvaro Soler.

Es wurde von seinen Schauspieler höchstpersönlich confirmed, dass Joshua viele Musik nicht mag, dafür aber Podcast und Hörbücher! Ich sehe ihn aber trotztem bei David Bowie, Marina and the Diamonds und Imagine Dragons.

Joel hört sehr oft "Lotusblume", da dass der lieblingssong seiner Oma ist. Außerdem kann ich ihn mir sehr gut bei Kate Bush vorstellen.

Elly ist nicht sehr originell. Taylor Swift, Ayliva und Harry Styles sind jedenfalls auf jeden ihrer playlists zufinden.

Chiara hört gerne, genauso wie nesrin, Aurora. Außerdem hört sie Anime Intros und Kyary Pamyu Pamyu.

Ava hört gerne, wer hätte es gedacht, Girl in red. Eine weitere Sache, die sie mit Julia teilt! Dazu kommen noch Louis Tomlinson und Luna.

Annika is just a girl ‼️ Sie hört Taylor swift, Olivia rodrigo und lana del rey.

Julia hat colin zu einen swiftie gemacht, er würde das aber niemals zugeben! Was er zugibt, ist, dass er hozier und Stephen Sanchez hört.

WELCOME BACK

Name: Elinor Brooke Henderson Nicknames: Elie, Eli, E, Henderson Age: 19 Birthday: July 13th, 1967 Location: Hawkins, Indiana  Sexuality: Pansexual Occupation: Works at the Arcade. Faceclaim: olivia scott welch (alt: kristen froseth)

BIO: (under cut cause it's long)

   Elinor Henderson was born to Claudia and Micheal Henderson one hot summer day in the middle of July of 1967. In the small town of Hawkins, Indiana. A small bundle of joy in a proud father’s arms and a life sentence for a detached mother. A mother who could not form an attachment to her daughter because of postpartum depression and a father who adored her gave Elie a very odd sense of self growing up. No matter what she did, Elinor Henderson was not loved by her mother and most likely never would be. Her mother’s reaction to her wasn’t just detachment but one mixed with hatred. Her father, though, was very attentive. Often taking care of Elie the moment he came home from work. Thankfully, Claudia worked too and Elie was left with the babysitters most of the time. That was until she was 4 years old and her parents welcomed her baby brother into the world. 

    Claudia became a very attentive mother when it came to Dustin. So much so that some would probably call her overbearing. She was always worried about him, even more so when he got his diagnosis. A mother hen but to only one of her chicks. Michael tried to rectify a lot of her mother’s disdain for her by being active in her life. When her mother signed her up for cheerleading, gymnastics, or dance; her father was always there to support her, alongside her mother. Where the woman would point out all the things she didn’t do or could improve, her father would tell her how good she did and how amazing he thought something was. He’d take them out for ice cream; which always got a quick remark from the other woman and a ‘hush’ in return from her father. 

    As Dustin got older, Claudia shifted her attention from the daughter she wishes she never had to the son she fully accepted. Elie knew by now that her mother didn’t care for her in the slightest. Elie still threw herself into everything her mother put her in until her dad got sick. One warm summer day, right before Elie started her last year in middle school, her father had taken her and Dustin to the park. They were goofing off and running around when the older man just collapsed, causing both kids to panic. After their father was rushed to the hospital they found out he had cancer. cancer that was attacking his body and wasn’t giving him much of a chance. The first few months of the school year, Elie spent her afternoons with her father while he did his chemo treatments. It was only half way through that year that they received news that the man wasn’t going to make it for longer than another year. It’s when it dawned on 14 year old Elie that her father was dying. He wasn’t going to be there for her graduation day. wouldn’t be there when she got married. just wouldn’t be there and she’d be left with her mother. So while her father was bedridden as he lived out the rest of the days, Elie spent most of her afternoons in her parents room. sat on the bed with her father as they read books and comics. binged movies and he started to teach Dustin and her dungeons and dragons. They spend their days just enjoying the moments they have left and trying to make the best out of it. August 25th of 1982, Michael Henderson passed away leaving behind a devastated little girl, a heartbroken wife and a lost little boy. 

    The only thing keeping her from running away when he dies is dustin. Dustin who she loved even if their mother cares about him more. that was her baby brother and she’d do anything to protect him. She promised to never leave him. freshman year of high school felt like crap that first day. her mother still expected so much from her even though she was never going to measure up. She befriended Eddie, who was a grade higher than her, who was charming as ever. a gentleman if you will even if the whole town seemed to think otherwise because he played dungeon and dragons and listened to metal. She swears the town makes the dumbest assumptions every day. Eddie had offered to take her to her first high school party and she agreed. Eddie was selling but ended up joining the fun when the game of spin the bottle started. Elie had her first kiss that night with none other than Eddie Munson. 

     Half way through her freshman year, Elie starts to hang out with one of her friends a lot more. Staying away from home the best she could  and as much as she could. Only time she ever went home was for Dustin or to sleep. If her mother was there, Elie was usually nowhere to be found. While hanging with these friends, she started to develop a crush on one of them. He had admitted that he too was attracted to her but didn’t want to date. Which for Elie, that was okay. So they talked and hung out and Elie lost her virginity to him after some time. Nothing developed from it besides a close friendship and Elie was okay with that too. 

    The summer before the beginning of her sophomore year, she starts dating Matt. A football player for Hawkins High who was two grades above her and the town’s ‘all american’ boy. The “perfect” boyfriend in the eyes of her hateful mother. The one thing she could do right but even then her mom tried to let her know that she was undeserving of the star football player. Over the course of the year she was dating Matt, the boy got aggressive. He never really  hit her but he was more forceful and physical than he should have been. A firm grip to her shoulder that would leave little red marks for a short period of time. Fingers gripping her wrist tight enough she almost felt like the bones shifted. A rough shove into a locker or a hand just a little too tight around her throat when he was angry with her. He may not have hit her but he still chose to hurt her. Elie had enough one night and when Matt picked her up and drove her to Lover’s Lake, Elie broke up with him. The football player was not happy about the fact that he was getting ‘dumped by some chick that wouldn’t put out’. Elie won’t go into much detail of the rest of the night but she’s got a reminder of it on the daily. She was left with a scar in the shape of an imprint of a hood ornament just under her rib cage.

      Junior year came around and so did another Elinor Henderson. Gone was the girl who wore bright colors and a cheer uniform. In her place was a girl who wore a choker, fishnets and short skirts and headphones over her ears. Elie still did really well in school but often would skip her lunch period to smoke on the picnic table in the middle of the woods. Often buying weed from Eddie and rolling a joint right then and there. She had even gone as far as to pick up a few other drugs and would carry a small amount on her during school hours or when she went to parties. Elie went from a straight and narrow cheerleader to the broken rebel looking for a good time. The rumor mill of the high school filled with whispers of Elie’s sexual activities after parties cause she would be caught making out with someone different each time. Never going any further and heading home if someone got too handsy. Junior year was all about exploring who Elie Henderson was without the input of her mother or others. 1983 was also the year that Will Byers, one of her brother’s friends, went missing. Nothing ever seemed to happen in the small town and now things were going insane. A young boy was missing, only to turn up in the lake when they went looking. Elie felt heartbroken, having known the kid for as long as Dustin has been friends with him and when her little brother had come home that night, she held him as he cried over his friend. Things felt bleak until Dustin was telling her all about how they ended up finding Will and he’s alive. It was rough to say the least and the story that Elie kept getting was confusing and she really was at a loss with details. 

     The new year of high school also came with a lot of new revelations. Ones such as alternate dimensions, demodogs, evil government people and kids with powers. The fact that her brother and his group of friends had been thrown right into the middle of this chaos and she had no idea, hadn’t really sat well. The only reason she even found out was because Dustin had come frantically knocking on her door with Dart ate Mews and he needed assistance with the cleanup of the destruction. Finding out her brother was friends with Steve Harrington was also another shock to her system. Fallen King of Hawkins was hanging out with her dorky little brother? Hell had definitely frozen over. Or better yet, Hawkins became Hell. Seeing a twelve year old use her mind to move things was probably the biggest shock besides the monsters. It came a close second, okay?  Her life had taken a drastic turn that day. One full of fighting alternate dimension monsters and losing people they cared about. The town had become a personal hell for those involved in the muck that the lab had brought onto them. Still after everything, Will wasn’t okay. Whatever had taken will had seemed to take over his body. Hurt him in ways that none of them understood and they were all on edge trying to figure it out. That was until El shut the gate. They had thought it all had ended, that things would go back to normal and things would hopefully go back to normal. 

      The summer after her senior year she spent her time between the arcade and scoops where she bothered Steve who constantly asked her where the hell Dustin was where she had to keep reminding him that Dustin was at camp and had made a promise to find him when he got home. Little did Elie know that the summer of her senior year was going to be filled with finding out about the Russian’s underneath Star Court, a flayed billy and more upside down bullshit. Wanting Billy Hargrove to fight the mind flayer’s possession for a moment just to save El had Elie crying. They had never found a way to fix him before things got too bad. Before he was impaled and died on the mall floor with a broken wet ‘i’m sorry’ directed towards them. It ate at her most of the summer.

      Things were quiet for so long after that. Things returned to normal and Dustin started High School and made quick friends with her old friend Eddie Munson. The beginning of the year had been spent driving Dustin home from Hellfire and working extra shifts at the arcade. She just wanted to make enough money to leave this town. But no, of course not. Because the town never stayed quiet for long. Instead, there had been teens dying randomly. The account that Eddie had told them of how Chrissy Cunningham died had made all their blood run cold. Mix that with the flashing lights remark from Max, they knew it was not over. That this had just began again and this time felt different. Elie wasn’t sure they were all going to make it out this time. 

    And she was right. This was the worst fight yet. Watching Steve, Nancy, Eddie and Robin fight demobats as they flew around. Steve had bit into one of those winged creatures and was covered in bite marks and blood. THIS was terrifying. As the days progressed and more people died and the town began its hunt for Eddie, the anxiety of the situation had set in and she was trying her best to put on a brave face. To fight to the end even if her – and everyone else’s – life was at risk. Watching Eddie jump back down the rope had her screaming alongside Dustin after him. Watching her brother hold one of his best friend’s die in his arms and then coming out of the underworld hell to find out that they didn’t save Max like they tried so desperately to do. Sure, she was alive in a way and hooked up to monitors but it wasn’t enough. She spent the following night just crying.
