CHAPTER 1
ABOUT THE SHADOW
All my life I knew there was another part of me, something I couldn’t explain until now. It seams as if an alter ego, or even a shadow, MY SHADOW! Her name is Emma! She helps me make my decisions some are right some are wrong. No mater what she makes me… me. She’s EMMA My living shadow.
CHAPTER 2
THE SHADOW ITSELF
The shadow lives in a place called the UNDERWORLD it is a very different place a place like no other, never could be explained. In the undergrounds’ there are very little shadows left. So many children don’t believe, they don’t believe in what I like to call… MAGIC. Magic is what keeps the shadows alive, at one time all kids had shadows, but then they stopped believing! So I guess you could say that they are extinct there about 5 shadows left Pat, Lilly, Angle, Diamond, and EMMA! Together they will go through a rough time trying to keep their kind alive. Their only hope is the human form of Emma … EMILY.
CHAPTER 3
HUMAN FORM
Each shadow has a human form, and each human has a shadow. In this case Emily the human form of Emma is a science fan, she is good with chemicals. Emily knows about the Underworld, and knows that there only 5 shadows left so she is on a mission to find a way to make the shadows regain their human form so they don’t all go extinct. But when they die they will make a new generation of the Undergrounds’.
CHAPTER 4
CHEMICALS OF LIFE
There are three chemicals of life one has a very distinct smell as if there is old milk that has been there for about a month to two months. This chemical is a very rare one and nobody is quite shore that this chemical will even help, but it is worth a shot. the second one is a very sweet smell this one will definitely work because it was specifically made for people to regain their strength, and you need strength to move any part of your body. The third one doesn’t have a smell but this one will defiantly will work also because this is an energy chemical used to keep you awake. So the last two work but the first one not so much, so we will haft to test it on one of the shadows, the oldest is Lilly so I guess we will test it on her. Lilly don’t cry no matter what you will be okay because we have a chemical that will kill this one if it starts to do wrong.(sob) “Okay”! good.
CHAPTER 5
THE CHIMICAL
If you will please lay flat on this bord and try to fall asleep so you won’t feel a thing okay. “Okay”. About 1 hour later Lilly woke up but she didn’t wake up to being a shadow she woke up to be a HUMAN, and she had a shadow of her own! So it turns out that you don’t need the other two all they needed was that one! So they worked on all the others the last person was EMMA, “oh Emma you don’t know how much I’ve wanted to see my shadow in human form”. “Me either”.
CHAPTER 6
They say that all kids will get another shadow they just haft to believe. When god takes you to hevin, he takes our shadow two, the shadows become our baby angle, as we become there mother, and father. And live a new life in hevin, and get new chances. Lord keep the generation going in the Underworld. Keep it going for as long as you can because the shadows would be grateful. AMEN
