Description

Hyunae lives in a time of war and destruction, a time in which fear and hatred consume both sides of the fight.  From the moment she turned ten years old she was into a life of having to train day after day with the other Elemental children, learning how to fight and use their powers.  They all have one goal that's been set into her heart: to make the Resistance pay for what they've done to her people.  

Her individual purpose in the military force became clearer after her parents were killed in an attack soon after she began training and from then on she worked harder to live up to the legacy her parents left behind.  It was easy to pick a side and it was even easier to follow the orders from her Captain for a cause she knew was completely justified.  However, everything she knows is true might be proven wrong from the recluse that lives down the hall.

 

Foreword

This was kind of spontaneous story that formed on its own when I had the thought that I might want to write something in the form of diary entries.  The first stages of this had nothing to do with Elementals or anything.  I kind of did some freestyle writing for this and as I went on, my imagination took off on it's own and I suddenly had a full story on my hands.  I wanted this to be a oneshot but after planning it all out, it was clear it was going to have to be a few chapters.  

So this is my second short story and I'm kind of excited about it :D

This is my entry for Tender Rose || Writing Contest under the Exodus Theme and Long Haul category.

Chapter 19: This was such a nice read!! Well I did not expect the final death coming but I guess it was important to the story, it can't always end happy. But I am happy Minseok is alive though. This writing is fresh and I enjoyed reading it! <3

Chapter 19: I didn't see it coming, about the death of my bias. Well, it's interesting to read and I enjoy every part obstacle they have. It's been long since I read a story from one point of view, and you make sure to not write it out like a diary/journal. Thank you for writing this, I enjoy it from the beginning till end^^

I enjoyed how the story was told from a journal entry perspective instead of in real time. The end made me so sad with what happened to Baekhyun and Yeolli :'( but not all good stories are happy ones. But still huhuhu T.T

Chapter 8: I'm glad that Hyunae has started to change her perspective on humans.

The last paragraph of the first entry on this chapters makes me shiver. Hyunae /really/ going to do it.

I'm mostly worried about Chanyeol now, though. Won't the military suspect especially when he comes back unscathed? Also, isn't the timing a bit odd? Hyunae and the other guys disappear, and then not too long after, Chanyeol comes back. I fear that the military's trust on him has wavered and they'll hurt him.

Chapter 7: Daaaaamn I admit that I never thought of Minseok being sick >< All I've had in my mind was that he was probably just hiding and laying low. But...if Minseok was there, in the apartment, all the time, then who is keeping his tracker? Is another person with it? I was hoping for Kyungsoo to be more "important" but it's fine I guess I mean a friend is important right :') And if I'm not mistaken, it was Baekhyun who told Hyunae to keep a diary? If that's correct, I'm wondering why Hyunae still keeps writing despite Baekhyun's departure. I personally feel that it's her way of coping with her loneliness. The last member of her family has been taken away and her suspicion on her comrade just gets confirmed, so it must've hit her quite hard. She must be wanting to confide in someone.
