Chapter 49: Doubts

"Good. Now get down..."

"No, not like that. You have to move slower..."

"I said to move slower, damn it! But do you listen to me when I speak?"

Sobek shook his head as he realized how senseless his curse was. "I'm starting to forget that these words are only in my head. It would be really useful if she could hear them!"

The spinosaurus let out a grunt looking at the young girl posted on the branch of a tree, who was trying in vain to get close to a lizard that was sunbathing among the leaves.

From his point of view, Jocelyne made far too much noise. He had miraculously managed to teach her how to catch some mice or how to track down a burrow, but catching an animal on a tree branch seemed beyond her reach.

Jocelyne tried to get even closer, but her movements didn't go unnoticed. The lizard saw her and opened two small membranes from its back with which it launched itself from the branch and glided towards another tree.
