Chapter 1

Gerald watched Maria as she talked to the hedgehog he had just created. Maria was in good terms with the black and red hedgehog. Gerald named the hedgehog Shadow after the project he was certain he had just finished, Project Shadow. He was now sure that his sick Granddaughter, Maria, was looking a lot better and happier since Shadow had been created.

But he was not sure if Shadow could make people live forever yet. Then a few days ago Maria got very ill. Gerald then did the riskiest thing he had ever done. Gerald took some blood from Shadow and injected it into Maria's arm. He was really worried about what might go wrong, but he was very desperate to save Maria.

Within a few days, Maria felt much better. She showed no signs of suffering from NIDS. But Gerald needed to confirm this, so he approached Maria and Shadow.

"Maria, can you come with me to the lab room?" Gerald asked as he walked over to Maria.

"OK, Grandpa." Said Maria, then she followed her Grandpa.

Shadow then started following them. "Maria, where are you heading? Ask Shadow, as he followed them.

"We will be back soon, Shadow. Where are we going to the lab?" Gerald replied. Shadow obeyed his creator and waited for them to return.

As they entered the lab, Maria got worried when she saw that her Grandpa had a needle.

"Grandpa, am I gonna get pricked with another needle?" Maria exclaimed. She now had a scared expression on her face.

Gerald Replied; "Only a small prick, it will all be over soon, I promise."
