I climbed out of the egg, only to see 2 of my siblings already here, looks like they been here for a few days, maybe 2? Well that doesn't matter right now. I just want this egg piece to fall off my leg! Gah! "Who are you?!" A female voice asked "I don't have a name yet..." I said, "who are you?" I asked them back. "Names Aggressor and that's my brother, Darkclaw. Weakling!" She replied Rudely at me. "I could introduce myself, Idiot!" Darkclaw argued, I tried to climb up a stick with the egg attached to it, I slipped but luckily I didn't hurt myself. Just then, I noticed people were watching me, I ignored them and climbed up the stick, this time not falling. The 2 humans began to speak... "Let's name him Scramble!" Said the taller one, "Hi Scramble! I'm Z and that's V, who gave you your name." Said the shorter one.

The Next Day...
I climbed up the wall of our cage, only to see we have a new sibling! She's a girl! At least that's what Z and V said, they named her Summer, because she liked hanging out on the bottom of the cage to bask. "H- h- hi." I said nervously, hoping that Summer won't hate me like the other 2, "Hi?" Said Summer, "Why so nervous?" "Because I'm afraid you might... hate me like those... 2." I said shaking in fear, I knew the 2 were watching me. "Look! Someone's scared!" Darkclaw laughed. "Aggressor, Scramble's a idiot... can we kill him?" Darkclaw said snapping at me with his mouth, "Yeah, go ahead. But let me eat him." Aggressor replied. "YUM! BABY MANTIS!" Darkclaw threatened, yikes... I thought. I climbed next to Summer. "Fine. We can kill you when you get a bit older, JUST A BIT THOUGH!" Aggressor scolded at me. Phewf... I thought in relief.
