花語：錯過
這是個接近鬼神、妖魔的時代，人類既畏懼又崇拜那種超過自己的力量。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeMdAc7fGf
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8ApfuabdI
漆黑的夜空星光格外閃耀，可惜無法將光輝射入這座荒城。狼嘯在城堡後的山上傳來，在山腳的城鎮回響。人們都瑟縮家中，害怕夜裡會被妖魔吞食、殺害。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcc288cHeq
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjIlCQi700
在鎮民間盛傳於森林深處，午夜會有吸食人類鮮血的怪物，他們以將人撕裂作樂，甚為可怖。故此晚上如同頒布了戒嚴令，沒有人會在外面走動。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdG4czXyET
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoaVhOVwVt5
不，不對。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxApevAIn13
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFRMFcqgaL
原本應為無人之境的森林深處，有名少女正借用星光來照明，毫不猶豫地朝城堡跑去。她就是「怪物」？469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hwjKzZE5j
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4yMgJzIN6
儘管她一身輕便的黑色衣裝，把臉亦藏起來，但仍能感受到普通人類的氣息。不過她抱著某件被布包裹的東西，當中散發出陣陣的血腥味。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFqYhr833l
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNK2i6ZDpa
越過滿是荊棘的圍牆，她如入自家的庭園，完全沒有半分迷惑。來到某角落的窗前停下，她解開面罩，直接地坐在只剩下框的窗前。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrPs4C9iCZ
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvoMlRqID8
說美女是稱不上，但總算是可人兒。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7G1ubDA2Ja
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡux9aSjYUOv
只是容貌如何並非重點，叫人驚奇是在窗的另一側、古堡裡面，也出現一張相同的臉。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jMLqY6DNN
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptZlByCDCE
啊、不對，裡面那位的肌色更是慘白，半點血色也沒有，她身穿一條黑色的長裙，將雙腿也掩住。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5toxjUUIxO
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPTuNBdhxM
「茜，你終於來了啊……」469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEi2GX5lfD
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKSUZk44ov
城堡內的少女，好像撒嬌的嚷道。她靠在無玻璃的窗框上，想要伸手出來，可是又停住。而外頭被稱為茜的那位，則笑了笑將手伸入去緊握住對方。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXkUzmf3oP
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tPQWwhXF8
「姊姊，睡飽了？」茜輕輕地呼喚對方，也就是自己的姊姊——蕾。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUCtn9hp6D
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRrzQwO8X7
「唔、好像……是吧……我已不太記得了。」469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7NpdCUcnQ
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpMiah8o3A
「姊姊……」469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5a7FKzHlDv
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWsy9XFXFu
茜凝視關在城堡內的蕾，如一的臉龐隨日子而慢慢改變。她們明明本來是雙生的存在，為何現在正背對背越離越遠呢？這時，她記起曾經見過的雙生花，背對背而生，至枯萎才有機會見面。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfjDznPm1g
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2ULKltrlE
不！她才不要！即使姊姊已經不再是——469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOmGEp0Rdu
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNiD5W9yYEx
總之，她不可能把姊姊丟下！469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2t2P89NSYT
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmGCiO8oeM
「茜在想什麼？別不說話，我會怕啦！這裡又一點光也沒有……」469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BucWEzwUD
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtJvRq7XZ2
「姊姊別怕……啊！你剛起床，應該會很餓了。我帶了你最喜歡的果汁來！」茜聞得姊姊的叫嚷，就即時把不安收起，端出平常的笑容說道。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchxHG0ClGD
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwza78u7kt5
只是茜明白的，蕾已經不再是人類，變成有接近永遠生命的存在。把本來抱住的那東西交給蕾，同時默默地想著。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ODP1qc2s8
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHbduOrcuE
（啊啊，在我老死後，姊姊要怎麼辦呢？） 469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUjCxKxuFx
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60efJNF7wl
當然，這麼的事茜不敢說出口。她看著自己的姊姊把那布裹之物——血漿打開，然後好像吸吮什麼美味的樣子，就覺得很可怕。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPfJaj3OVq
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGF8aAdtqnk
對。蕾現在是吸血鬼，吸食鮮血的……怪物。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPKvNJhbU0
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0jO7Ao54u
蕾已不會再長大，只要不被殺，就永遠是這個模樣。而她自己呢？會老、會死……469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8WqjLG5aM
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRe1VV0fvc
（姊姊會忘了我吧？）469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqglP2IwgDf
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxVXz54UlS
「茜幹什麼這麼望著我嘛？啊！我知道了！是茜也口乾吧！」469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWEZNdkFA2
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAA7BlGqq4
本來沒有血色的蕾，在飲用了大半包血漿後，臉色恢復了不少。她露出天真的笑容，用力地抓住茜的手，只是蕾嘴角的腥紅，叫茜嚇得即時縮手。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzeBxMLqP7Z
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxptbnfiP9
只是茜隨即就後悔了，眼下是自己姊姊受傷的表情，那份哀傷感同身受。當初蕾就是為了救她，而成為這種罪惡之身，她就把自己困在古堡。現在她竟然……469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwdTcLjltD
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSCm2seg74
「呀、抱歉……這麼牽著手太累了！不如我直接入來，好嗎？」469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjLayjsrvj
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnlLoeppoY
為了打圓場，茜故作開朗的手舞足蹈。而蕾沒跟住站起來，只是仰起頭凝望自己的妹妹，沉默不語的表情，叫人難以看透。只是這麼的狀況沒有維持多久，她就搖搖頭。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf14aiBpohZ
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFt0ou2vIe
「不用了，這裡不是好地方。」剛還在對茜撒嬌的蕾，突然恢復了往日姊姊的風範，沉隱和理性。可是看在茜的眼中，既懷念又害怕。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxJbUFesIq
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5yzYqDRJ3
（蕾記起當時的狀況嗎？她會不會恨我？）469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6r0vEyJ3A
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCRfWmNXTr
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyp8PAaokBe
她們的父母早在戰火中離世，二人一直、一直都在一起。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJuVOa1T1M
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eSgoFIWvB
穿過荒郊野外，她們冷時就相依而睡。茜的鞋子破了，蕾就把自己的和她交換。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNWEGi6D1G
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33Bo69Fd9i
二人去過無數大大小小的城鎮，因年紀輕又是女生，所以找不到人僱用。可是人總會餓，每每蕾就跑去偷麵包給茜吃，試過被發現、被打傷，可是蕾總是不說出口。直至茜發現問到，她才笑著說不痛。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEofUE1pwov
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7CwmvHUOi
「世界上最美的是什麼呢？」每次痛苦時，快要面對死亡前，她們就會捉緊對方的手，問著對方如此的問題。想像美好的事物，令困乏的身軀添些精力，繼續走下去。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqTa4mkJrZ
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhlGevSrLj
那時，茜仍相信二人能這麼過一生。躲在蕾的背後長大，茜覺不用得到什麼，只要有姊姊在就好了。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOs2vQStQ1
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wspLjOirf
直至某天……469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtP1GQ6P6gq
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKWJ8ipfkX
她們來到現在這個城中，雖然很想找工作，令無盡的旅程中稍微休息，可是像她們這種看來和乞丐沒分別的外表，根本沒有人想僱用。如此其實也沒差，反正她們早已習慣了。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLGlaMLKuw
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57MpHlGXbk
只要二人一起，去哪裡也沒關係！469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OPGsF9Scn
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamZ2Og9oTn
沒多久，她們就被趕出了城鎮，來到了森林。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBj8lXBIzVQ
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Mwpqv2RFR
森林的面積很大，連合了幾座山頭。路途比想像中更長更難行，她們在沒有準備、沒有食物、沒有食水之情況下，很快就面對死亡。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvVKFLyhru
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01n75coqxR
野獸在身邊徘徊，等待她們力盡之時。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTypTJKpNBC
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeIbpzLFxI
茜雖覺很難受，可是依然拉住蕾的手。縱然要走到人生的終點，最少還有至親在身邊……469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9YzHyVqS8
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzw7alRSSIG
半昏迷的茜，突然感到有液體流入口中。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuhkn1LE8s
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DUuizgC0i
啊啊，是什麼也沒所謂了。她只覺得很口乾，就大口大口飲下那黏稠的液體。嘴巴更被塞入一些柔軟的肉。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLFqcVJh7x
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuI2DcbFZN3
那些，是什麼來呢？469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxoWkmBDcL
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNXDh9zn86
當時茜什麼也不知道。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPpKwQTrHN
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI85c1fS2fp
在她再次張開雙目，就發現自己躺在柔軟的床上。在床邊的櫃子上，還放了豐富的食物和水。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡji5UrTd7XG
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWaWXBTUpl
極度的空腹與乾渴令茜忘起一切，未有思考原因為何，就狼吞虎嚥起來。只是當她平伏下來，才想起……姊姊到了哪？這裡又是什麼地方？469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQC48CWxAmp
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CZUwG6YQY
只是剛吃飽，她就覺很累很累，沒多久又沉沉地睡著了。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXTiBNrQvv
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aK6IkrjOK
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIjhEP7Y3I
「……茜，小茜！」熟悉且溫柔的嗓音在耳畔響起，茜知道這是姊姊的聲音。為了回應對方，她就緩緩地張開雙眼。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIoKtZKlcm
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpdPvyDhpy
首先映入眼簾是蕾的臉龐，她的臉色雖然不太好，但看來乾乾淨淨，比平常更要漂亮。她正握住茜的手，還是暖暖的。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWf4orL30I
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiebYtIBTx
「姊姊……」茜擠出聲音的同時，突然看到在蕾的背後，還站著個如同貴公子的男子。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7c5nIuQ10
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2QpOT6mLa
他蒼白的膚色，配上一對血紅的眼睛，冷漠的神情使人不寒而慄。只是他的視線沒在茜身上停留多久，就傳回到蕾身上。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcF4fBcDhr
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5q8KblHwE
蕾和他對視，神色間霎然溫和起來。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGfA36cQyY
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMiRJ5ldWL
「茜，這位是我們的救命恩人。」蕾露出甜甜的微笑，稍微向茜介紹身邊人。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfansHNxHyK
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKMevHCys7
不過，儘管蕾沒有說出口，但茜見到姊姊的另一隻手正牽住他。被分了一半的愛，在她而言，實在不是味兒。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMzSNiXyjz
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCb5gGveXf
這時男子把蕾抱起，長長的裙子將蕾雙腳也掩過。茜總覺得很突兀，因為她很清楚蕾討厭穿長裙，說很不方便的啊！469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQK1sPJXbg
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NZx2uyui7
「茜可以先去梳洗一下，僕人們就在門口，一會她們會領你到飯廳。」469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTt34U5dTK8
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDb4nUK0cIH
「哦。」469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61zABg6QeD
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7T2xLI0s0
待蕾大約地把事情交代後，她就和男子一起消失於門外。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6mgyibUjf
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gmfUu0zyl
自此，她們的生活無憂，蕾也嫁了給那個男子。除了日夜倒轉外，好像沒什麼奇怪的地方……「好像」吧……469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXShmxIy2f
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDAp8g72nn
太陽西下的黃昏，才是新一天的到來。茜覺得很不習慣，可是還得接受……因為姊姊就在這裡啊！在廣大的庭院閒逛，城堡的眾人也紛紛醒來，客氣地和她打招呼。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQkPtB31Sz
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Kg5vmUgDY
很幸福吧？469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFgTMw9dRo
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajdMsP4dgP
不用擔心衣食，也不用到處流浪。現在生活得如同童話中的公主，過得非常富足。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0hge1F8o3
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8TE24cjPv
只是……469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVP4TQmW8PL
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyYGWHLHy2
凝視雙手，空空如也。已經沒有人會牽著自己走，姊姊已嫁為人妻，不再是屬於她了。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8Fk3o6M9T
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoToIAx3XM
「晚安，茜小姐。」469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEluZtQ9wlh
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZCHevLPN1
突然一把男聲從身邊響起，她嚇了一跳踉蹌地退後數步。當稍微定神，便發現是和自己混熟了的園丁。真是的，這裡的人都神出鬼沒，心臟弱一點都被嚇壞啊！469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcf398lD0C
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv08AQ1axDz
「不用叫我小姐啦！」469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNL6jwXIWvw
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwoMzAFTnV
茜沒好氣地回了他一句，接著便繼續沒精打采地踢地面邁步。然，園丁放下手上的工作，急步追上前伴在她身旁。關心地問她有否不適之類，可是她還是搖搖頭說沒事。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdhkAMzGzK
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyZcZyrXct
她，只是想姊姊陪在身邊而已。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwYydXvn8F
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiy1LK6VNLw
夕陽慢慢沒入地平線，換上是柔和的月光。地面的暖氣慢慢地消失，如此更令茜回想起與姊姊渡過的每一天。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIBMiJxJXq
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwIkxjCAr7
「那個，茜……有沒有看過雙生花？」469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGDGyt79rB
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgkeENxPcW
「雙生花？」469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFT68wrUgN3
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNWPcngfAb
「嗯，那是一蒂兩朵花的植物，看來就是很親密的樣子——」469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hDz2wcF94
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47KGQ8s4mI
本來死氣沉沉的茜，終於恢復了一點精神，回到望向園丁尋求答案。記得雙生花只出現在傳說中，蕾以前好像也有說過這朵花呢！469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdYk3BiaDK
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0BbaIX55W
「那麼在哪兒啊？」469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3BuXMNvbU
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Zt7fth5yA
茜打斷了園丁的話，一副如同小女孩般雀躍的模樣，叫他不禁看呆了。雖然平常都會陪她聊聊天，但就是不見她如此興奮。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo89l5x46hj
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQeM0lQ6LQk
接著園丁便領著茜到某棵異常高聳的樹旁，聽說這樹由世界陷入大災難時，就守護這個國家，為消失綠意的世界重拾青綠的色彩。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Rem7anVMu
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnxwq4uQrH
不過，一切只是傳說，現在已經無從考證。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ274myKDm9H
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7QFP7VSsd
茜其實也滿喜歡這棵樹，總覺坐在樹下就能感受到心靈的安寧，故此她總是獨個兒跑來這裡。偶爾被園丁發現，就會和他說起她與姊姊的事。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCofjRySM1D
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrez5Vb8ews
幾乎每天到來的，她可從沒見到有什麼雙生花啊！469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqN4m7oZwkB
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalWoubrYss
與園丁一起走著、走著，二人就來到大樹下。很神奇地她果然見到有花朵，綻放著兩朵花，背對背而綻放的花朵。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BGxjmTQpC
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnTvNXNdSh
「聽說如果一個人見到，就能遇到一生最深刻的愛。而兩個人見到的話——」469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeWEdx41n1
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXILbolmUgt
沒有等園丁說畢，茜就即時跑回城堡中。她的希望只有一個，就是能夠和蕾一起看。只有……她和她。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIuOjYiZIy
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡST97iDcFBA
然而，是什麼地方出錯了呢？469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdaelmF2ht
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXGMiDgiQO
是過於愉快而忘了禮儀？或是她根本不清楚自己到底身處於什麼地方？469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt630YCkyt9
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjEdFjKTMF
未有叩門就打開姊姊和那個男人的房間，就目睹他正舔蕾從手上放出的血水，茜嚇得立即把門關上，連蕾在裡面呼叫她也不回頭。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6I7Jhuqd6
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VPVIts3aI
茜的腦袋中只想著——那個男人是吸血鬼！469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdW716mHZtH
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AiKZjsYkN
會被殺！會被殺！469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoc61vgMETQ
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vwJIIwkRX
抱著被子瑟縮起來，全身顫抖不已。這時，有一隻手摸向茜的被窩，害她嚇得彈起來。隨即她就發現，原來是蕾來了，而那男人難得不在。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrLw4s11ID
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0snsNSKFp
是放心，還是什麼？她抱住蕾大哭起來。不知過了多久，茜才止住眼淚，抓住蕾的雙肩，告訴她那男人是吸血鬼，要蕾和她一起逃走。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhiNhezEvu
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQrYYqcuua
只是蕾只說：「他是好人。」469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXru1gemaa
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKsQW1BZMA
為什麼？姊姊已不信自己了嗎？469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Hu0USfwm6
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfNfjmCUUV
之後茜見到園丁，和那男人都站在房門前，害怕的情緒即時萌起，只是她直覺不能表現出來，一定要裝作沒事。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6juzekjzc
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnq4rjCb7s
男子沒有多說什麼，筆直地走近她們，再把蕾抱起來。在尾隨的園丁示意下，茜就隨著他們，一起再去看看那朵雙生花。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsNuzJUQXb
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvZml8lsaI
可惜當再次到達，本來背對背的雙生花已枯萎，卻扭轉了花枝，面對著面。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCVpuOOr4h
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zjo9pEnVU
茜遠遠看著蕾，對方的眼中已沒有她。蕾的笑容和輕語，都給了那傢伙……明明是怪物！469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTfYwusWWn
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5mKPrTUTT
沒法接受，不能相信，茜覺得蕾一定是被控制住，所以她決定了一件可怕的事，令她日後後悔不已的一件事。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBVTcS95fA
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLq1ClEXY83
她偷了附近的地圖，在白日時偷偷溜出去，到城鎮中找人幫忙。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQTpu32XCu
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTKbNSQZzM
當鎮民知道自己活在「怪物」之鄰，才開始結合力量，向教會求助。只是調動人手，可不是短時間就能成事。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lrYBFGXUO
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Ptynhp7f1
茜等了又等，過了數個月才終於等到教會軍到來。由於過於擔心姊姊的安危，茜就自願帶著士兵來到森林中。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmfHBxBNFD
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3m7nBtNb9
那時是白天，大家都睡著。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxGIIJ5eKK
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLfHJWpYuw
只要殺死吸血鬼就好了。茜本著這信念前進，可是她還來不及制止，士兵就把其他人也殺光。那些照顧過她的女僕，陪她聊天的園丁……469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghC1pAVBt7
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSLCwHKx3s
一個又一個地被殺害、燒死。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoQBnwrb1P
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldb66yiGTA
茜開始害怕，就朝著蕾的睡房，也就是吸血鬼的房間跑去。只是房間沒有人，她就一面呼叫，一面到處跑。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQfxD2LF5w
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaxxHxAbjB
「姊姊！姊姊！」469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhgXBJ82Vf
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2z63liXs7
去了哪兒啊？469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gtOG1xbrU
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUuX77IPw8
最後，她找到了。蕾和那吸血鬼倒在一間可愛的房間中，滿滿的布偶，還有一張小小的床。這裡是嬰兒房？茜的心房突然揪住，她已沒勇氣繼續想下去。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Vp6emICGT
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXjW8ci7ao
茜走到蕾的身邊蹲下，那個吸血鬼已經死掉，他的頸項有著鮮明的牙印，而相對蕾的嘴巴滿是血水。她努力地將二人分開，才見到蕾微隆的肚部正在出血。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9bQpxLOVy
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEgGePEhPh
再往下看，茜再次見到蕾的雙腳。在被救後，蕾就一直穿著長裙，現在她終於明白原因何在。蕾的其中一隻腳不見了！傷口已結巴良久，所以一定不是近期做出的。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgm13xo4Ok
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3AcCJdqDH
茜想起第一次見到他，撇開了種族，他有對自己做什麼壞事嗎？469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbjnHg84LT
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQADYu8FdKp
沒有，他救了她們兩姊妹，更照顧她們日常生活。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOsLb2EyvF
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzl2b9lq1v
至此她才終於明白，自己做了不能原諒，也沒法去補救的事。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAqdfLnUGG
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzN4TuEvl2v
接著，茜背起蕾逃出城堡。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgUMiyQe5F
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzFigIIFeW
待大火平息後，才回到城堡中，可惜也面目全非了。蕾不知是否受了太大打擊，幾乎什麼都忘記了。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcS2cDM699
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYzQEHy3N5
而在那時開始，蕾也成為了吸血鬼，只能活於黑暗中。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNwHlkmz3S
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqop2Tnn8Qm
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7vdXPlRiH
「茜！你又發呆了啊！」469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdu2FdA4ON
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajPdUlbNk8
「那個、我今天也帶來了禮物！」469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPuffESQYp
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXW8ihMM2M
坐在城堡中的蕾嚷著，令茜的思緒再次回到當下。茜一面迅速地轉變話題，一面翻動口袋，從中取出一顆種子。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0eyuxoBhrn
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbWEETm6XN
「這是什麼？」469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWSAECnrgN
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZLZMznZg9
「曇花的種子，花朵在晚上開花，這麼你一定能夠看到。」茜想要彌補自己所犯下的罪，可是她知道這些事，都沒法子把事實去改變。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4o6d6K18G
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdbbdArUdJ
一直待到早上，茜才和蕾告別離開。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmuVtT6r05
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyP7EUM7He1
日光照在茜的身上，她瞇起眼睛望向天空。以前和姊姊一起眺望，明明覺得日出很美麗的。只是為何現在什麼也感受不到了？469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8y3OTce58K
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaPhgwTSab
即使是短短的瞬間，茜也覺得很難過。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvh2IXMiNB
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48Nm637KqF
靠有接近永遠的心情，會是怎麼樣子呢？469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFc8c5CuQr
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj08OfP1DDb
想起蕾，茜只覺得很痛苦。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDeALl22EgQ
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KHFxbJed6
日復日地往返，茜依然每天都帶了不少珍美的東西到來。那朵曇花日漸地成長，冒出了一個花蕾，同時蕾沉默的時間也拉長。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBUeMyDM2l
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXzb7jj73Q
不會是想起什麼吧？469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkVW2RvhAM
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExoDicE9NV
光是想像，茜的罪惡感就倍增，連掛在臉上的微笑也變得虛偽。直至——469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡly9Rota9PA
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcACV488qHy
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3IvaaI5YX
花，開了。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8hccDKWnd
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkL2ceeY1mk
短短的瞬間綻開，也在下一秒就枯死。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6u6F8ZHrV
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSYUPi2iJm
「姊姊，很漂亮吧？」469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnAIJfDXZi
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Yxey9qfIi
「……」469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9hWt5Eu1a
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzFAOmaEiU
茜露出笑容，仰起頭望向蕾。然而她沒有回應，只定定地盯著那已枯萎的花朵。停頓了數分鐘，她才緩緩地把視線轉向茜。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiZAuG7Vib
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz05japXJcL
「茜……」469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLiL8IT4PZq
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNHNUP0i40
「呀、是？」469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEM6ZrSNTC
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxp59NHkIF
「我想和你看日出。」蕾用沉穩的語氣說道，眼神充滿著平靜。只是茜錯愕地愣住數秒，就立即用力地搖搖頭。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhNhWzXYlE
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwtwmHkcuK
蕾是吸血鬼！根本不能照到陽光啊！469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0N1XdfwYVm
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrs6U5VtGOr
「沒事的，我遠遠地看就夠了……好嗎？」蕾主動地抓住茜的手，穿過了以城堡定下的界線。見此，茜也只好點頭答應。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnUxrPQSDM
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qa5ByWJ39
蕾看似輕巧地朝窗框以單手一拉，將整個落地大窗的框架扯出。接著她隨手地往裡面一丟，發出了滿大的聲響。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPMf4uxY26
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsttct0nTq
少了窗框的阻隔，這一年來，茜首次接近自己的姊姊。她蹲下身捉住蕾的手……沒有半點溫度，那雙曾是多麼溫暖的手。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48vEmxJrR9
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWYUh0isJ6
那男人……不，「姊夫」一開始時，根本沒有想要將蕾變成吸血鬼。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrGtNNnG8v
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpJKeYwTvH
（一切都是我自以為是的妄想與妒嫉。）469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKvapTf4gk
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNwLhpbwNk
沒有愛，何生恨？469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLkHoMKyRo
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfnVy23Mmp
捉緊又鬆開的兩手，茜轉個身看到這間「嬰兒房」中，放滿了她為蕾收集回來的東西。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXgvp6NQ6X
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzr9dMo7Hh1
漂亮的東西依然漂亮，卻不是美麗。放在房間中央的籃子內，什麼、也沒有。不忍再看下去，她就把蕾揹起來，踏出這個作為牢籠的荒城。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoOsznfVCM
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlM2xQ8qnUN
「記得東塔的閣樓能夠看到很棒的日出，讓我帶你去吧！」茜輕輕地說道，不敢發出太大的聲音，也不敢回頭，她總覺得背上濕漉漉的。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOznrzG8cmI
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLgiP7jMEr
經過了嬰兒的搖籃，本來環住茜的手臂，其中一隻在那鬆開。本來她想問蕾是否要停下，可是很快蕾就把手再度環上，而茜聽到一陣鈴鐺的聲音。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGFriwq5i1
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54zdQWWUd3
雖然茜沒有看到是什麼，她卻覺得是嬰兒的腳鏈。她硬著頭皮，繼續往城堡深處走。城內的屍體還在，於黑暗中沉默地長眠。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTb0gn4qWK
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzpeRnun9T
每走一步，茜都覺得很難過，彷彿在說出自己的罪惡，滿地也是罪證。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDAAOzOwnp
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCvtNlMGWv
好不容易才走到閣樓，窗戶卻被木板釘死。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxOC5fXFAK
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlHB2dszgi
茜將蕾放在窗台上，本想試試能不能將釘板拆下，可是蕾只用一掌，就把那釘死的木板打碎。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI91aUxctQJ
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJIotQ3xEV
「姊姊，來坐去那面的角落，不然會被太陽照到……」茜想要再次背起蕾，卻被對方撥開了手。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkalybdcjop
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HMrGJ1VR5
「姊姊……」469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPV4OOMwNk
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsf9ccg1UgT
「茜，你覺得什麼才是最美麗？」突如其來的問句，把茜的話打斷。蕾望向還是昏暗的天空，再從懷中小心翼翼地拿出一隻腳鏈。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2gJZS1Qre
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyuhbgWvsn
叮鈴……469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzoDbNHhM8
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ33keatt7T
果然蕾剛才拿的就是這個，所有事她都記起來了吧？469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVfbbm1KxO
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDswR2wazEh
茜佇足在原地，一句話也說不出來。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxdcPtNEaJ
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpk0RBdnS7U
「這個問題，『他』也問過我。」蕾仰起頭，把身體朝向窗外。是懷念心愛的那人，還是想起當時的那顆心呢？469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20aMklTvAy
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKC2Z9u04Xr
茜沒有回答，蕾也沒有追問。她仰望夜空，就覺得好像聽到心愛之人的呼喚。她不自覺地向天空微微舉起手，同時光線從地平線綻放。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqqTQ8M0V6
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadaAjBXvBD
是被光線迷惑嗎？蕾見到了，見到了如空氣般透明的他。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ218MqlMvkW
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoow40FCWci
難以站起來的蕾，用手按住牆壁勉強撐起。茜見狀就環起蕾的腰，想把她拉回到屋內。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbC4FnR7sN
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQEtILsWAz
「不要啊！姊姊！」茜悲傷的尖叫，令蕾稍微回頭。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxeLder47s
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRksBGtJhi
可惜太遲了。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7WXIrh4eK
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopGBDMo9io
蕾對茜露出一抹溫暖的微笑後，就縱身到窗外。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnK3iN79Qh
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMlCtjga0M
破曉的光芒完全地綻出，被照到的蕾開始化成粉末，只是她還是沒有放棄，努力地接近那個近似幻象的他。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIc8yymWxi
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB35wZrboIe
「太好了，我們終於——」蕾無法說畢的話，化作輕煙。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvu29IcDcOD
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nj3xrQJTy
被剩下來的茜，張大眼睛望向天空，想起了蕾曾告訴她的雙生花——為了所愛的另一朵花，而去獻出自己的所有，不求回報。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOmGtyiWTa
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZCMoZDELw
「另一朵花可否是……」茜喃喃地說出，然後從窗台、蕾消失的位置跳出去。
