Bella POV

New Irismus Ravines

It was difficult to go on. The heat was sweltering and I felt dizzy from it. The excitement and exertion of the morning with the Sirens was now dispelled and I felt exhausted. Iris who rode with me, was pretty much in the same boat. 

The giggles of Flanagan and Ivy had also stopped. With the sun at it's zenith, the ravines also had smaller shadows. I was tired and irritable and I guessed the rest of us felt the same. 

Till Rob fell off the horse.

There was a sudden collective gasp from us all. This was not supposed to happen. We were all tired and struggling with the unreasonable heat. Yet, no one had fainted yet. 

Wole jumped off his horse to check on Rob.

"Rob," he cried. He shook him, but Rob's eyes just rolled back and he lay on the ground moaning. 

"It's the heat," cried Ivy, running up to Rob. She looked at him worriedly and then turned to Wole, "Maybe dousing him with some water would help?"
