She longed to learn who she was and only he had the answer. Problem? He was in Sabertooth and she was in Fairy Tail, two rival guilds. On the road to get answers, she finds herself falling for his partner. [StingxOC] [RoYu] [NaLu] Other pairings inside.

Chaos, A New Home and Name!
When firstly stepping into the village, the view will guide you to simple thinking of a simple rural area which has not much changed by any modernization. The slippery road is surrounded by many weeds and bushes. Moreover, the ground was damp and mossy, like every day was watered by the rain and dew. The road might be just enlivened by one or two carriages to pass through within 30 minutes. Besides, the residences are far from one to another. They are usually separated by fields or yards. Just say, in the morning, though the day has begun, the village is still quiet. On account of it's quiet, they could hear sounds of the wind that blows the plants which leaves sounds like a man whispering as well as sounds of river flowing in a small stream as if inviting them to feel the beautiful nature.
On the other hand, in the night when the village darkens, it was quieter. Sometimes, it can just be dogs barking, a cricket breaking the quiet of the night on occasion. Nothing will jazz up the night except them. In short, both of those morning and night life are quiet and far from the city life which is so busy and crowded along the day. Their village was a peaceful village. It is one of the village in which you can still feel the wind blows gently and lightly. Moreover, it is a village where you can feel fresh air and situation which surrounded by many plantation. It is also a place where you can feel the quiet of the day. It is far away from the city situation, from the crowd, from the noisy, and pollution. It could give us a peaceful feeling which could not be found in a city.
Today, however, the village was in chaos due to a cult apparently trying to kidnap people to help build some sort of tower or something. Houses were being burned and people were running away in a panic, rushing past them and nearly knocking them over.
"Ry-Ry! I'm scared!" Lita said, shaking in fear while staying near her brother. She jumped when a man tried to grab her. "Shadow Dragon Talon!" She engulfed her left leg in shadows and sent the man flying across the street before her brother grabbed her with a free hand, having his egg on the other side of him, so he could have a free hand.
"I'm not leaving you, sister. Come on!" He said as she managed to mirror what he was doing, putting her left hand in his right, both hands tightening as they took off running, in the direction of the people. "You can do it, Lita, keep up!"
Lita tried her hardest, but due to her not being quite as fast or strong as her brother, the next person they ran past forced their hands apart and shoved her out of the crowd and sent her tumbling down a hill, her head connecting with a few rocks on the way, clinging to keep the egg safe. She finally came to a stop on the edge of the stream, the egg safely in her arms.
"LITA!" Was all she heard as darkness surrounded her. She felt herself and the egg get lifted up and she opened her eyes half way, still in deep pain to see a figure holding her that looked like someone with shoulder-length orange hair that seemed to be slicked back and had a stubbly beard.
"Relax, I have you. You'll be safe soon enough..." The voice soothed her back into unconsciousness.
Lita reawakened slightly to see a large built-up area, extending over a large, rectangular surface to the shores of a lake. Splitting the town vertically and horizontally is a series of large roads. The whole place was western in style, with its buildings being mildly reminiscent of neat Medieval ones. Located almost in the middle of the town, overlooking where they were was a cathedral. In the far side of the city, sitting on the shore of the said lake, is a rather imposing building.
It took on a shape reminiscent of a pagoda, with each floor being smaller than the one below it and sitting on the latter's roof. The roofs also bore great resemblance to those of real pagoda, consisting of extremely long, arched tiles lined up one after the other and possessing simple curved protrusions jutting upwards on the building's angles. On the highest roof, topping the summit of the building, sat a simple, round and pointed dome, highly reminiscent of those seen on Arabian buildings, which bore a flag on its point. The roof below the one with the dome, the middle one, housed a large banner with a symbol on it, held up by a pair of vertical poles. The building's large entrance was again Arabian in design, with its shape being reminiscent of that of the dome on the summit, and above it was the guild's name, topped by a protruding, stylized heart shape and flanked by a pair of carved fairies. Stylized heart shapes were also visible on the frames of the numerous, large pentagonal windows located on each floor, with the top floor housing smaller, arched windows partially covered by banners.
The person holding her seemed to notice her half-awake and smiled gently. "This is my home and soon yours, Fairy Tail..."
"GILDARTS! FIGHT ME!" An energetic voice boomed, making the girl flinch as the man, named Gildarts, spun the pink-haired boy with one hand, making him hit the ceiling.
"Natsu. Can't you see there's an injured girl in his arms, idiot?" A black haired boy scolded.
A red-haired and white-haired girl both turned at that, seemingly stopping a fight as a short man walked up. "Master." The red head stated.
The 'Master' looked at Gildarts and then the girl. "Where'd you find her?"
"She was in a village under attack, with the egg she's clinging too, as well..." He informed.
"Well, she looks like she could use some rest... Take her to the infirmary." The Master ordered. "We'll look after her wounds there."
She fell back into a slumber, keeping close to the egg, only waking to drink something before falling back asleep. When she woke up, a few days later, she was greeted by Gildarts, the Master and a blonde teen. Instinctively, she shied away, deeper into the pillows, her eyes as wide as saucers.
"Relax. We mean you no harm... Can you tell us your name?" The 'Master' asked.
She blinked and frowned, her brows furrowing as she tried to remember her name, a blank being pulled up. Looking back, she shook her head. "I... don't remember... Where am I?" She asked softly.
"You're in Fairy Tail's infirmary, healing from wounds. I'm the guildmaster here, Makarov Dreyar, but you can call me anything you want." Makarov said. "This is my grandson, Laxus and Gildarts Clive here found you."
"Thank you, sir..." She said, bowing as much as she could with most of her body bandaged. "I don't know my name... Is that bad?" She asked.
"Hmm. Amnesia..." Gildarts said, frowning.
"Well, she needs a name, Gramps." The teen, whom she assumed was Laxus, said, putting his hands in his pockets. He wore a mustard yellow shirt and long black sleeves underneath and jeans. He also wore some headphones, which were connected to something in his pockets. He had a scar over his eye shaped like a lightning bolt.
Makarov rolled his eyes. "Of course she needs a name, boy. Why don't you think of one?"
Laxus grumbled and rolled his eyes before noticing the flower in her hair, seemingly entangled now in the locks. "Hmm... How about... Rosana?" He questioned.
Gildarts chuckled and seemed to nod. "Rosana... But, how about a last name?"
Makarov smirked slightly and looked at Laxus. "Listen, boy. We're taking her in as our own. Rosana Dreyar... How's that sound to you?"
"Meh, as long as she doesn't mind..."
The girl blinked before she spoke again. "I like that name... Rosana Dreyar... Ooooh, can I be called Rosie or something for short?" She suggested.
"Whatever you want, Rosana." Makarov said. "How do you feel?"
"I'm fine now... Thank you so much, Gramps!" She said, beaming a smile at him.
Laxus and Gildarts broke out laughing at Makarov's stunned face, Gildarts speaking. "Well, that's settled. I'm off again."
"Mr. Gildarts, will you bring stuff back?" Rosana asked.
"Who knows? I might if you behave." He said. "Just try not to become like Natsu."
"Speaking... What kind of magic do you have?" Laxus asked.
Rosana furrowed her eyebrows again and tilted her head before smiling and manifesting shadows in her hands. "This kind."
"Shadow? Well, that's unique..." Makarov said before noticing she had pointed canines like Natsu. "Could you also be a Dragon Slayer?"
"'Dragon Slayer'?" She asked before nodding. "Mhm. I think so."
She then followed them out into the hall, after Laxus helped her get the egg, feeling like it was important to her. She hid behind Laxus when Makarov got the attention of the entire guild, suddenly shy. One hand was clinging to Laxus' shirt while the other was holding the egg.
"Everyone, this young one is Rosana Dreyar, my adopted granddaughter and Laxus's sister, so please treat her nicely and like family..." He looked to see her peaking out from behind Laxus. "She's a little shy, though, so take care around her. As you were."
She kept close to Laxus, not wanting to really meet anyone yet, since she was still getting used to being his adopted sister and other things. She was up to his elbows and figured she had a lot of growing yet, but felt safer near him. She saw a white haired girl perhaps a year or so younger than her approach, which made her hide a little more behind Laxus.
"I won't hurt you... I'm Lisanna! Nice to meet you, Rosana. You wanna meet the others?" Lisanna asked.
She shook her head and held tighter to Laxus's shirt, which made him roll his eyes. "Lisanna, leave her alone. It's new to her. You can't keep going up and expecting her to be open to anyone yet."
"Quit being mean, Laxus! She needs to meet others!" Lisanna puffed her cheeks out.
"At her own rate, give her time. Right now, think of what it might be like for her." The red haired girl said. "I'm Erza Scarlet... I understand perfectly what you feel, Rosana."
She nodded before hiding more as the others started getting closer to her. She had no idea why, but she hated being crowded, which showed when she squeezed her eyes shut and clung to Laxus, making the teen blink and glare at the guild.
"Back off already! You're scaring her!" He said, kneeling to try and comfort her, earning her going into his arms and starting to cry slightly, which had the guild frowning and backing off, save Erza. "Don't be scared. I'm right here." He patted her hair before noticing that the flower slipped out onto the ground. "Hey, Erza. Ya think you could fix her hair and put this back in?"
Erza blinked and nodded, gently taking the flower from Laxus and kneeling down. "Would you like that? I could fix your hair to look pretty."
"I'd like to look pretty, please..." She said softly, wiping her tears away and hiccuping. When Erza held up a mirror, she smiled at how it was in a bun and her flower was neatly tucked into it. "Thank you, Erza..."
"Your welcome. Let me know if you need anything else." Erza said.
Rosana nodded and watched the red head walk to scold Lisanna, angering another white haired girl. "Who's that?"
"That's Mirajane, Lisanna's older sister." Laxus explained as he sat at a table and a pink haired boy walked over. "What do you want Natsu?"
"I wanna prove that I'm stronger than you!" He said before noticing Rosana. "Hiya! I'm gonna be the best Dragon Slayer ever! I'm Natsu."
Looking at Laxus, she yawned a tiny bit while Natsu tried to fight Laxus, who held him away with an arm out. She drifted off, leaning against him as she fell asleep.
Well, that was interesting! Hope this clears up what causes her to have another name.
