The correct answer is the first phrase.

Foreshadowing signifies that the author is giving hints to the reader to let them know that something (usually bad) is about to happen. In the first phrase, "And so the shadow fell across us ... " the narrator conveys foreshadowing with the use of "the shadow." Since shadows are literally dark and symbolically evil or ominous, this detail lets the readers know that something bad is about to happen.
