So I last left off at the deal with Minho having to die. That was not actually the case, they ame to a compromise that Jorge, the Crank leader, would make Minho look like a complete fool. So Jorge chose another Crank to accompany them, Brenda, together they would get food and then sneak out of the town to go get the cure. One problem, when they were getting food some of the other Cranks came and blew up the area the Gladers were in. Thomas and Brenda got seperated from the others and they could only go through the underground tunnels and come out on the other side of the city hopefully reuniting with the other group. Brenda has a bit of a crush on Thomas and he gets really uncomfortable with it, which I thought was really funny. In the tunnels they run into some long gone Cranks who want to take their noses, who knows what they really meant they are completely crazy. When they escape them they find a sign, apparently there are many and they are posted all over the city, saying that Thomas is the real leader. The next morning they are above ground and run into another crazy group who want Thomas, but the Gladers find them and save them before the crazies kill them. Oh and in the escape Thomas gets shot in the shoulder. And the crazy thing is that WICKED saves him. He hears them talking about Variables and things that don't make sense. During the night Thomas has been having flashbacks about before the Maze. Ok back on track. Thomas and the Gladers are walking and Theresa shows up with Group B, the girls. They all have weapons and Theresa is really horrible, they take Thomas and he thinks this is what WICKED meant when they said he will be killed by Group B. He is very confused because Theresa is acting like she hates him and he did something horrible to her. He convinces the girls that they should not kill him. Later that night Theresa tells him to follow her. They meet up with Aris, now this is were it gets confusing. Aris and Theresa act meanecing and evil. They say that the whole thing with Thomas and Theresa was fake and that she is really with Aris and they were talking telepathicaly even in the Maze. Then they push Thomas into a chamber and he blacks out. When he wakes up she is at the door saying that it was all an act that WICKED told them to do it. Both groups are across the mountain pass but they only have a few more hours to get to the cure. Thomas now feels nothing for Theresa but knows that they need to get to the cure, soon. I only have about forty pages left and I am really confused so I want to figure what is true and what is not. If you didn't understand what I was just saying then look at older posts about this series and if that doesn't explain it then pick up the series and read it and maybe you can give me some ideas as to whats going on.
