The Scorch Trials 25-125

After finding out Aris and Thomas new connection they decided to find out what was going on in the building. They tried some of the doors and they would not open. They decided that this must be part of a plan so they decided to just calm down and wait it out. When standing at the door all of a sudden the lights went out and and came on in a couple minutes and all of the bodies were gone in the room the floor was clean like it did not even happen. Everyone dumbfounded walked around looking for traces of what happened and could not find anything. They all go back into their rooms and decide to get some rest. Thomas falls asleep and tries calling for Theresa and she answers telling him to stop yelling in her head and she does not know him. Thomas heartbroken then falls asleep again and is awaken by Minho how was holding an apple. He told him to eat and Thomas did very quickly. A mysterious man was out in the main room with a huge pile of food and all of the Gladers regain their strength by eating some eating to fast and puking. The man was sitting behind a desk protected by a invisible barrier that nobody could get to. Thomas tried talking to him but he told him all would be explained later. He ate some food and regained his strength. Later the man who the Gladers all named the Rat Man explained that all the people will be going through another test and that all of them have been given the disease the Flare and that they must walk over 100 miles through the Scorch to retrieve the cure. Nobody says a word and he continues and say that the trans will arrive at 6 in the morning. Everybody then starts trying to ask questions but is silenced by Minho who tells them it is no use. The next morning everyone gathers food supplies and blankets and get on the trans and are dumped in a pitch black metal hallway. They walk down the hallway and start to hear a voice that says go back if you do not want to die they ignore it because they knew if they went back they would die. Then a boy starts screaming and Thomas goes up to help him and a liquid metal was attached to his face and forms a perfect ball decapitating him. They all start to run faster trying to find an exit then they find it but Winston is attacked by the metal and Thomas tries to pull it off and Winston and him pull it off together and Winston's face is burned severely. They open the hatch and the air is so hot and dry and the sun so bright they about can not handle it so they put their blankets over them and they begin to get used to it. After time talking they decide to start marching off into the distance going north. They walk for hours staying hydrated and through the distant heat. They are approached by a group of people who are covered in robes and they say how they are Cranks and have a settlement near by. They told them it is people with the Flare all go and run off. They decide to head towards the town and try to get some more supplies. Night time fell and the sun went away they all rest and awaken before dawn. They begin walking again and hear dreadful screaming coming off into the distance. They keep walking towards and slowly make their way there and can see the town. They approach a building at night in the middle of nowhere where the screaming was coming from but stopped when they got there. A woman was standing outside not moving and Thomas decides he would go find out who it is. She runs into the building and Thomas follows. It was Theresa but she looked clean and better than she ever did and he tried talking to her. She screamed for him to get away but then jumped towards him and wrapped her arms around him and kissed him then pushed him away telling him that they need to leave now or they will all die. Thomas realized that she was under WICKED's control and trusted her and he ran off leaving everyone behind so they all followed. They ran for hours and finally stopped to rest. He explained to Minho what happened and he was a little freaked out. He fell asleep later and dreamed he was sitting with Theresa who told him to try harder and that she was not going to talk to him tell he did and so he promised he would try his best for her.
