The Maze Runner 325-374

As they reached the opening, the Grievers were surrounding the hole. They all realized what they had to do. In order to have any chance at living they all had to fight. The Gladers decided that Thomas, Chuck, and Teresa would be the ones to go into the hole and try to figure everything out. Without looking back, they all jumped in, Thomas waiting to make sure the other two made it. Once in the hole, they saw a computer and keypad. Thomas decided to have Teresa go and put the words into the computer in case a Griever came through the hole. Sure enough, just as she started, a Griever plopped down there. Thomas fought it off and ended up killing it and then rushed over to help Teresa. She couldn't get the last word "PUSH" to enter into the computer. Once Chuck saw it, he told them that maybe it meant push that button on the wall over there. Once they did that, a door opened toward them. It led into a long black hallway. They then had everybody come down, of which only twenty were left including Chuck, Teresa, and Thomas. Twenty one had died. They all decided to head down the hallway and see what happened. Thomas felt good about it, but was just hoping their wouldn't be any more Grievers down there. At the end, their was a long slide with a gooey substance on it that smelled bad. They slid down it and landed on top of each other in an open area with a building in front of them. It was the Creators. Just sitting there, watching them. Minho yelled and wanted to kill them and everybody started yelling and things and then a woman and young man walked out of the building towards the Gladers. She then told them that their life would be better now and didn't say much else. They then noticed that the one young man was Gally. He told them that the Creators could control him. He then threw a knife at Thomas and Chuck jumped in front of him. The knife hit Chuck and killed him. When this happened, something came over Thomas. He was filled with rage and beat the crap out of Gally. Then, a bunch of people came running in there and killed the woman. The Gladers didn't know what was going on, but followed the people as instructed. They led them to a bus and went for a long ride. Thomas asked a lady on there what was going on and she told him that the sun had produced balls of sun that came to the earth and burnt things up and then a horrible disease set in that may be able to be cured, but only in the Andes. They were a long ways away from there though, but wanted to get there. The only thing holding them back was a wall of sun (fire) at what used to be called the equator, called the Scorch. She then turned away. They took all of the Gladers into a nice room filled with clean beds and food. Teresa got her own room and Thomas missed her right away. They then talked to each other telepathically though, and said it was going to be ok. They then fell asleep.
