「不要傷害阿爾法!你快住手!」被如此景象嚇得失聲喊叫的貝塔緊閉雙眼,正以雙手掩蓋臉龐之際,耳邊傷口破裂的噪音、還有銳刀往復的振音都同被止住下來。她放鬆手,眼皮緩緩睜開,片刻之前的景象卻早已不再復見。黎明之下一切依舊,但又有所不一樣。初醒的她,只見身上多了一塊靛藍色的被子蓋著,頭顱後方亦感到被什麼東西承托起來。216Please respect copyright.PENANAPLA3o2IwOg

「呃啊……」當她抬高頭時,淡橙色天空下所見便是那個在夢裡被貫穿胸口的少年正坐在她身旁,以大腿當作枕頭、披風作為被子,一直在旁守侯直至她甦醒過來。216Please respect copyright.PENANAQ4XiAsxLgK

「阿爾法……」她隨即跳站起來,慌張地用手撥弄頭髮、拉好鬢角一對修長雙馬尾,端正立在少年跟前,吞吞吐吐地問道:「我睡了多久?有伊咘西萊的消息了嗎?」216Please respect copyright.PENANA8hYArFkbii

「不。這個地方除了我們沒有別的人了……」他只是輕輕搖搖頭,卻足以讓本來已經一臉內疚的貝塔更不膽敢正視那副純真臉孔。她知道,阿爾法並沒有因為她的有所欺瞞,而就此離她而去;然而,一直跟隨在他背後,那數不盡的感概,那千千萬萬句歉意真言一直屏蔽心底,久未能一一盡說。手上那鋒利的小刀投映出他那茫然若失的背影,同時也暗示著總有一天刀刃上就會沾滿他的鮮血。216Please respect copyright.PENANAqTEZfciOZF

跟隨著阿爾法漫無目的的步伐,不知不覺間步入了一片萬紫千紅的花海裡,清風吹拂於萬重花朵之上,從遠方推動一行行浪濤掃過大片花田,在亂世之下保留那絕無僅有的和平。216Please respect copyright.PENANAIJn2W58loh

216Please respect copyright.PENANAm9ZEZIlo4w
他的背影,悠然於淡紫與酒紅之中踱步,猶如把先前的煩惱都拋諸腦後。波光蕩漾間,他彎下身子,從萬紫千紅之中摘下一朵淡紫色的小花,挺身走到貝塔跟前,模仿著先前所見光景,在臉上撐起微笑。216Please respect copyright.PENANATGz56mxkhf
216Please respect copyright.PENANA3om5yrpQyu
216Please respect copyright.PENANAz97K3Z1dqQ
「貝塔,看!」右手拿起幼小的花莖,把盛放的花苞遞到她面前,再道:「我不知道該如何表達,但當我看到它,就像看到你的樣子一樣。」216Please respect copyright.PENANAfjvtitftGt
216Please respect copyright.PENANATcvHatdq05
216Please respect copyright.PENANAbpJNSyfYlV
從阿爾法手中接過花朵的貝塔,這下才發覺到這嬌美的無名小花,花瓣的顏色恰好就跟自己身上所穿的衣服一致。她繼而把視線停留在那副笑容之上,失神的眼球只顧一直愕視著,就連內心之歉疚亦無法阻止莫名的暖流灌進意識裡。此刻的她禁不得在那個悲劇揭開序幕之前,砍斷自己雙手不讓手上的刀刃朝向那沒有抵抗力的笑容。儘管如此,儘管心中想著寧願要傷害自己,她仍然是不願去思考該用怎樣的句子去告訴他隱瞞之久的真實,生怕臉上那僅有的微笑會因為那些真相而隨夢消散。216Please respect copyright.PENANAKR4lA4N4gi

「這是什麼感覺?他這個微笑很溫暖……我怎可以把他殺死?」她從來未試過對一個「目標」抱有如此深重的猶疑,情感和使命間激起劇烈紛爭,每當她要嘗試舉刀之際,矛盾總是衝在眼前,把過往他對她所作一切之記憶拋到心中,令雙手無法跟從命令。然而,在另一方面,那不願把真相訴說的嘴巴,卻深信只要他不知道那些秘密,相處的時間也許就能延續多一陣子。216Please respect copyright.PENANAiDnawtKklq

「貝塔,妳沒事吧?」阿爾法撫摸著她的後頭,見她一副沒精打采,稍微收起仿傚她的笑容問道。216Please respect copyright.PENANAecgCTe16BG
216Please respect copyright.PENANAoNx7qqXUai
216Please respect copyright.PENANAO2WVGwExEn
「呃……我沒事,嘻嘻。」這下換她強撐笑容回答對方的好意。當她以為他下一句就是問及關於那些秘密之時,她收到的卻是這麼一句說話:216Please respect copyright.PENANA9X0Pa9zshh

在他眼中,情感表現往往是他所無法理解的部分,他見貝塔睜大雙眼,呆滯地一直點頭,於是認為自己大概定是猜中了實情;而事實上,他這句猜測,大概只答對了四分之一而已。216Please respect copyright.PENANAXSD8vQ0tNP

至此,血水已經充滿在貝塔眼眶,她知道身上這個現象並非如他所想源於傷患,為了不讓他再像先前那般浪費力量用在她這個無法消除的詛咒上,她於是強忍著淚,腳步刻意走到他背後,偷偷擦拭雙眼同時說著:216Please respect copyright.PENANA4wCBGW5vKh

兩雙足印走過浮華大地,漸漸遠離這片隔世花海。走著走著,輾轉走進一處山間地帶,好不容易找來一所殘破廢屋,讓貝塔得以在裡面稍作歇息。
她半臥在破舊的木板上,眼睛凝視上方,從天花板的破洞望向蔚藍天色,心裡卻還停留在那無數的衝突中。216Please respect copyright.PENANAwfs4eOG859
216Please respect copyright.PENANADPOmbnmNiD
「外面有東西正盯著我們。」沒一陣子,阿爾法忽然感覺到破屋外面來了三隻的野獸,正埋伏在屋外凝視破木板,他從光球拔出長劍,從木板站起來,緩步推開殘破木門漸漸遠去。儘管屋外盡是劍戟撕裂肉身之音,她身邊卻為一片肅靜所擁抱。216Please respect copyright.PENANAGLU8dLtJ7G

「妳還在猶疑什麼呢?難道在夢裡面的那個示範,對妳來說真的有那麼難做到嗎?」突如一把男聲打破沉默衝到貝塔耳邊。貝塔隨即站立起來,兩眼專注警戒四周。216Please respect copyright.PENANA7tgjHq1zjX
216Please respect copyright.PENANAOhnLRVrrVe
216Please respect copyright.PENANA42YIu5Pber
果不其然,她看見在屋子後方的木板堆中,站著一個穿著黑衣的男子,他臉上血紅的雙眼不屑地瞪著她,口中吐出帶刺的話:216Please respect copyright.PENANA2CSUibuG8E

216Please respect copyright.PENANA93k7yf4PFv
「不就一個什麼也不記得的蠢貨,就讓妳把持不定了嗎?」沉重的腳步聲環繞著她,沙啞的聲線把勸說的話帶到耳邊。「可別忘記他是我們魔族的仇敵喔。正正因為他,妳的同胞們都慘死了!他們的哀嚎聲妳能聽見嗎?」216Please respect copyright.PENANAPuov0W4HT1

「忒鉈,是你把那些野獸引誘過來的嗎?還有,阿爾法到底是何方神聖?是你讓他忘記以前一切嗎?」面對眼前男子死纏爛打,非要貝塔動手不可,貝塔則是一昧嘗試對其所作所為報以白眼。216Please respect copyright.PENANAoVNaGAgT3d

「不是、不是這樣的!你只是要他的命對嗎?」痛苦間,貝塔的心開始動搖起來,盲目的理性開始屏蔽感性的真摯,為了止住難耐痛楚、以至掩蓋對方咄咄逼人的氣燄,冷冽小刀緊握在手,強烈的使命感再次映照在紫水晶般的左眼上,只想著要盡快甩開對方。216Please respect copyright.PENANAl3Kcmq6GZt
216Please respect copyright.PENANAgpMHhA8KWG
「哼……我就在此等妳的好消息。」語畢,他便鬆開手,姿態亦消散於凝重空氣之中。216Please respect copyright.PENANA0ByPKruZKI
