She sank down into the wet sand. Open-mouthed, she stared at the crocodile moving ever nearer with the tide. Her body still refused to listen to her frantic orders to move. Although her tender lungs protested, she held her breath as, closer and closer, the wide snout approached. The water vibrated as it danced around the beast. Its gnarly nose touched Nell’s skin above her sock. She shuddered inwardly at the contact, but her body remained as still as a beached whale. Had the croc just purred?
It surged forward, wrapped its jaws around Nell’s waist and dragged her into the water. Still, she couldn’t move, couldn’t scream. Scream, you idiot. The sea swallowed her. Why was she still breathing? She wasn’t but it felt like she was. She didn’t need air. Was she dead?
The crocodile backed up and gazed at her with large, black orbs, not menacingly but with a penetrating interest. ‘You are not dead.’
The words touched her mind. She glanced around but not even a fish was within sight. She and the crocodile were alone. Should she try to get away?
‘Good morning, Dar-Nellen.’ Words again sounded in her mind. The crocodile?
A tiny squeak passed through her lips. She shook her head. You can’t talk under water, dummy. What did he call her? Nothing, numbskull. Crocodiles can’t talk. I’m dead and dead people probably hear things all the time.
‘You are not dead,’ he said. ‘However, you are correct. Crocodile’s can’t talk. However, there are some of us who can find other ways to communicate.’
