Broken Trust

Many thoughts race through Thomas head he first think its just a joke but then he wonders if WICKED have the cure then why haven't they helped the cranks here recover? Then  the party owners offer him a drink which seems to drug him and Brenda, which made them lose conscience. interrogated by the host of the party but midway through the interrogation Minho and the other Gladers accompanied by Jorge attack and take over the place. Later they resume their quest to safe haven, leading to countless walking hours. Till one day while they were walking Group B ambushed them. Group B went through exactly the same trials as the Gladers the only difference was that they were girls instead of boys. Teresa appeared in the crowd of this group she seemed to be the leader, she started walking through the Gladers until she met with Thomas. She then took him as her hostage, Thomas had no idea what was happening in her head why was she with this group of girls why she took him hostage. Till they arrived at Groups B camp and tight Thomas to a tree. The Teresa revealed that she was planing to kill him because he had done something horrible to her. Thomas was completely startled for all that just happened at first he thought all was an act but then things got serious Teresa started beating Thomas even when he didn't said anything. Later that day Teresa went to scout the area, Thomas used that time to convince the other girls that he wasn't what Teresa told them he was. Eventually he got freed and Teresa got so mad she left the camp. Then Thomas and his new group resumed the journey to safe haven. Again midway through their journey Teresa appeared to Thomas. She told him that everything was an act and that he should follow her somewhere.
They awoke tight up to wooden chairs, they were later

A part of the book that I think the author did a great job showing and not telling how Thomas felt towards Teresa.
"Tom we need to talk' she responded, almost sounding like the girl he thought he knew. 'Don't worry about them, just come with me."she gestured to the trees behind her with a quick jerk of her head. He looked back at the girls of Group B, still heading away from him, then turned to Teresa again. 'Maybe we should-', 'Just come on, The act is over.' She turned away without waiting for a response and stepped into the lifeless forest. Thomas without hesitation followed her" (pg 287)

Thomas just had a horrible experience with this girl, starting that when she captured him instead of bringing him walking they tied his hand an feet and dragged him like a dog scraping the floor. Then she usually beaten up Thomas for everything under a false accusation. And she planned on killing him and told him on his face. And now the excuse she says for her actions is that everything was an act. So any person who is rational wouldn't have followed her. But the author made Thomas follow her because he is in love with her and he cannot let her go since he has been thinking about her all the time. And if I was put in the situation the moment she turned away and disappear in the wood, I would have been like "Uh no" and turn away and leave her.


During the part that tomas convinces all the girls not to kill him since he thought of it as a test he got away with it. So Thomas is midway through his argument of why is it a test of individuality instead of a test of whose stronger.
"No, think about this. How are you showing any strength by killing me? I'm way outnumbered and you have all this weapons. How does that prove who's stronger'... 'I think it's a test to see if you think for yourself, change plans, make rational decisions. And more of us there are, the better odd we have of making it to safe haven. Killing me makes no sense, does no one any good."(pg 279)
So this made me remember when a long time ago I was training my little cousin to be a goalie and accidentally I shot too hard and it ended up hitting him in his face. He eventually started crying and his nose was bleeding. I got away from being grounded by explaining that his grip was off and it made him lose control of the ball and hit him in the face.


To warp things up I strongly believe Teresa is really going to betray Thomas on an attempt on killing him. Though I little part of me says that WICKED is behind all of this and maybe it is controlling Teres. MAYBE. But I really think Teresa wouldn't have a strong reason to excuse herself of killing Thomas, since he has done nothing bad to her, Instead he really wanted to be with her so I don't see a reason of why Teresa wants to kill him. But again WICKED might be behind all of this which means that Teresa has no conscience of her own action.
