Alex rider is with Fiona one day riding horses. Fiona is riding a beautiful horse but gives Alex a smelly horse that attracts a lot of flies probably just to spite him. They ride for a good amount of time before they decided to go home. Fiona kind of forces Alex to go through the dark tunnel to get home despite the risk of getting hit by a train and because she claims its faster. As they were riding Fiona hits Alex's horse causing it to run forward almost causing Alex to fall of. Fiona thinks this is hilarious and is laughing as she begins to leave. Alex is waiting outside of the tunnel when he sees Fiona's horse run out without her on it. Fiona has fallen off of her horse in the tunnel and Alex returns to help her. It turns out that a cobweb hit her face causing her to fall off and hurt her leg. Alex reluctantly decides to help her even after all the things she has done to him. This made me think how can Alex help her after the horrible way she treated him. I have to admire him for that. He was able to put aside all the negative things and realize the right thing to do. This made Fiona have a change of heart and will probably now treat Alex with a little bit more respect.
