The Story of Nayma (Re-written)

Chapter 1: Raised To Kill

I'm now 17 years old. Nearly 7 years ago it has happened now. But nothing still makes sense to me. No one has explained anything to me.
And yes, I say nearly 7 years ago, because it's nearly my 18th birthday. Soon I can make decisions for myself. I wonder what I'll get this year. Last year Domanic gave me this beautiful gem. It was red, and whenever I was sad, or hurt, it would glow, and I'd feel better.
It's morning. I've only just woken up, when Domanic comes in. "Morning, Nayma."
I smile. "Morning."
"Training's in an hour. We'd better get ready."
Training. Every day since I turned 13 I've had to attend these training sessions. Dr. Eggman was been training me to kill this blue hedgehog by the name of Sonic. He claims that Sonic is a cold-hearted demeanor who thinks of no one but himself, and always destroys everything Eggman builds.
But I've never met him. So how would I know if that really is true or not?

Before training, I decide to take a walk outside. It's so warm today. But that's summer for you. And the sun is shining so brightly.
I then see a blur pass by. A black blur. When it stops, I see a black hedgehog with red stripes in his spines. He looks at me, then walks closer.
"Hi. I've not seen you before," he says.
"I haven't seen you before either," I say.
"Well, I'm Shadow. Shadow the Hedgehog. Do you have a name?"
"I'm Nayma," I say. "Nayma the Hedgehog."
Shadow laughs to himself. "That's a nice name. Wanna come run with me for a while?"
"I wish I could," I reply, looking at my watch. "But I need to get going. Nice meeting you."
"Nice meeting you too, Nayma," Shadow says, as he runs off. But a piece of paper drops where he used to stand. I pick it up, and on it is a combination of numbers.
He gave me his phone number!
That Shadow the Hedgehog is so cute!
Wait.
What if he's a friend of Sonic?
I'll have to find out one way or another.
