The Maze Runner 200-300

After the whole ordeal with Teresa, Thomas sat out in the trees by the graveyard in the dark trying to make sense of everything that was going on around them. He then hears Teresa's voice again but it was not in his head she was standing right there watching him. He gets startled but then calms down and they talk about what happened. Thomas learns he is not crazy and that Teresa can talk to him in his head whenever she wants. In the middle of their discussion Newt comes up to them and asks them if they noticed anything weird. They decide nothing is weird just dark like always and then Newt tells them to check the time and he looks and its night time and the gates to the Glade have not shut yet. This means the Grievers can come into the Glade and kill everybody. A panic breaks out and everyone starts to build barricades so they could not come in. They decide everyone should stay in the giant Glade house. They reenforce everything and wait out the night in dread. They can hear the mechanical movements of the Grievers outside and everyone is terrified. Then the door busts open and standing there was Gally who went missing days ago. He was torn up and bloody and breathing heavily. He tells everybody that the Grievers will take just one person every night until they find a way to escape. Then a Griever breaks through the window of the room they were in and grabs Gally. They try to pull him to safety but cant and they take Gally and then all of the Grievers go back into the Maze and leave for the night. Morning came and Thomas goes to talk to Teresa who was safe in the Slammer to talk about her memories. She remembers that the Maze was a code and its not the movements of each individual section over time its the Maze as a whole and it spells out letters. Thomas then runs off to go tell Newt and Minho the news about the Maze and when he finds them they tell him the map room was set on fire and they lost all of the maps that they have recorded over time. He tells them that he has figured out that the Maze is a code and they needed all of those recordings to see what they said. Thomas takes them to Teresa so she could explain it better. After hearing all of that Minho and Newt told Thomas that they actually did not burn any of them they were fake ones and the real ones where in the weapons room safe and sound. They go down there to look at some of them. He gets some wax paper and pencils and cuts squares out of them to make a grid and draw out the maps. After a while Newt feels like it is a waist of time but then after completing the map he sees that the grid plots out a subtle but distinct letter F. Minho and Thomas decide to go out into the maze and see if they can find any new exits that opened up during the night. As they run Teresa talked to Thomas in his head then he finally got the hang of it and started talking back to Teresa in her mind. They return with no new exits but they managed to find out words that the Maze spelled out and keeps repeating. They do not know what the words mean and are in a random sort. After days go by and more people get taken Thomas decides that one of the only ways to get back some of his memory is to go through changing and get stung by a Griever. That night when one of them took Dave he rushes out after it and jumps on top of it and gets stung. He then goes through the changing and finds out the truth behind some things. He tells everyone that the Maze can not be solved and they were put here for an experiment of will to see if they will still keep trying. He does find a way out though and if they type those numbers into the computer it will stop the test and stop the Grievers. The only way to the computer though is through the Griever hole off the cliff.
