"Polyushka-san?" Rose called as she entered the cottage. The stern looking woman glared at her.

"What are you doing here?!" she demanded, "Get out!" Rose ignored her and sat down on one of the beds.

"I need your help Polyushka-san," Rose said, "can you tell me how long… before I die?" Polyushka's eyes widened.

"What?! What nonsense are you spouting child? You're still young!" Rose sighed.

"I don't have much time left," she explained, "it's a… side effect of my magic." Polyushka stared at her long and hard.

"Sit down child," she finally said, and went to work.

Rose looked up at Polyushka, trying to glean some information from her facial expression.

"Is it that bad?" she wondered, "How long?" The purple-haired woman nodded.

"You don't have more than a month I'm afraid, your internal organs are deteriorating as we speak." Rose looked down.

"I thought as much," she sighed, looking at her hands. She stared at Polyushka, "Don't tell anyone… please. At least not until I'm alive."

"What? You want to keep this from them?!" Rose nodded.

"Please…" Polyushka didn't say anything before she finally nodded.

"Fine, I will respect your wishes."

Lamia Scale, Blue Pegasus, and Sabertooth had already arrived at the meeting location.

"I wonder," Hibiki remarked, "who will Fairy Tail send."

"I hope Julia-sama comes," Lyon wistfully said.

"Do you think they'll send that new girl, Rose?" Eve wondered, and looked at Sting.

"What?!" Sting exclaimed.

"Well it seemed that you two were pretty close," Eve replied. Sting's expression darkened.

"I haven't heard from her at all," he said, trying to keep the bitterness out of his voice.

"Oh-"

"Sorry we're late!" Natsu yelled as Fairy Tail burst in.

"Wendy-chan!" Chelia exclaimed. The two young girls hugged.

"Erza my lovely," Ichiya whispered as he suddenly appeared behind her, "as always, your parfum is delicious." He then proceeded to sniff her. Erza shivered.

"GET AWAY FROM ME!" she screamed and knocked him into the nearby wall.

"Lyon, nice to see you," Gray remarked as he walked up to his childhood friend.

"How's Juvia?" Lyon asked, staring wistfully into the distance. Gray groaned.

"Lucy-sama!" Yukino exclaimed as they ran towards each other.

"Yukino!" Lucy looked over her shoulder at Sting.

"So what is this I hear about you and Sting?" she teased. Yukino's face reddened.

"That's right," Sting walked up to them and put his arm around Yukino. The two looked at each other as Natsu made puking actions. Sting looked over at Natsu.

"What's the matter Natsu-san? Jealous you don't have a girlfriend?" Sting teased.

"I'm not jealous!" Natsu fumed, Yukino giggled.

"Where's that girl… Rose?" Jura wondered, "Hasn't she been really active in destroying the guild's followers?" Lucy noticed that Sting's eyes flickered.

"She's unwell," Erza answered, "she told us that it was a side effect of using too much magic." Jura nodded in understanding.

"I see then," he said.

"Sting, I need to talk to you," Lucy said, and brought him to the hallway. He leaned back against the wall, arms crossed.

"What?"

"Do you…" Lucy gulped, "hate Rose?" Sting's eyes widened.

"What kind of question is that?!"

"Answer it."

Sting looked away, "Well… yeah, kinda."

"Why?"

"Well she talked to me at all after the Grand Magic Games, it's like she's ignoring me."

"She's not that bad," Lucy insisted. Sting rolled his eyes.

"Yeah I guess she's okay… is that all you wanted to talk about?" Lucy nodded, and Sting sauntered away.

He said he did at first, but then I got him to say that you're okay, something about how you've changed… I'm sorry Rose, Rose stared at the letter from Lucy, and sighed. He still hates me? Rose fumed, why does he have to be such a jerk about it? That's it, I'm going to go over there and sho- and kill myself… but why do I feel like I should've gone? I have a feeling that they need me… what's life worth if I don't use it to help my friends?

"UGH!" Rose screamed in frustration, "What am I supposed to do?!"

"Fire Dragon's-"

"Sky Dragon's-"

"Shadow Dragon's-"

"White Dragon's-"

"ROAR!" The four dragon slayers sent their attack at the enemy in front of them. After days of tracking down the five member guild, they had finally caught up, only to realize that destroying them wouldn't be as easy as they thought. The group had split up, one to fight each of the mages.

The enemy mage made a dark shield to block the attack.

"Argh…" Natsu gritted his teeth in frustration.

"... what's the deal with this guy?!" Sting yelled.

"Devil's Breath!" the mage roared, a beam of concentrated darkness sent their way. They lept out of the way.

Natsu looked towards the others who were fighting the other 4 members of the guild, I hope Lucy's okay…

"He…" Sting said, staring at the mage, "uses the same magic as Rose?" Rogue's eyes widened.

"You're right," he agreed, "it's the complete opposite."

"Can we even beat him?"

"Rose-san could…" Wendy said.

"HELL'S STORM!" the enemy mage yelled.

"AHHHHHHHH!" the four dragon slayers writhed in pain. As they lay on the ground, the mage latched on to them with threads of dark magic and threw him around.

"HELLLPPP!" Wendy screamed. Finally the mage stopped and prepared to finish them off.

"Devil's Breath!" he roared, the four dragon slayers closed their eyes, preparing themselves for the blast.

"HEAVEN'S SHIELD!"

They opened their eyes in astonishment, they weren't dead. Then they gaped, in front of them, Rose stood in her Angel equipment, a sad smile on her face.

"Missed me?"

Rose comes!

Surprised?
