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。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGoAiNgNSYt
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65htRiDC4c
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。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4eAjghOPZ
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjs6t6d09tH
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。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaFIcbLKLA
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DUdTM4Bzf
不，不對。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpJ9X6lsK3
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQN2ZaQ1OT
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」？416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucOW0LCaaw
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmjvNHJ46o
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。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsV9YwKA6w
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflJxF4aKqu
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。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4EkYjpVXZ
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUkg4r4dw8
說美女是稱不上，但總算是可人兒。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGjCMnQe6n
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIizc3epbdn
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。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQ5ifAIvtE
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ME79Mttsx
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。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNRrCXyWLC
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4fG6tlW2m
「茜，你終於來了啊……」416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUL37vcGOdf
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBJg366hjU
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。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmiumLCmAZ
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeaI6iQWXm
「姊姊，睡飽了？」茜輕輕地呼喚對方，也就是自己的姊姊——蕾。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVovwBcRmVx
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYZGSLYggp
「唔、好像……是吧……我已不太記得了。」416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhd5SMowz6p
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjU1DHELj5r
「姊姊……」416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQHZE62fdq
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWa8aBbSRB
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。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhCY3jJbPk
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp67n3wLP3h
不！她才不要！即使姊姊已經不再是——416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMQIDyNkIr
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkrQcc0Tcd
總之，她不可能把姊姊丟下！416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMjE1QOTUD
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIK9T6OkOC7
「茜在想什麼？別不說話，我會怕啦！這裡又一點光也沒有……」416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrYL7ePkDr
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUYHHiqJEh
「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。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTfrt4R4os
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjKwzTdPZF
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。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxxITHOtNJ
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXihb46ZdyB
（啊啊，在我老死後，姊姊要怎麼辦呢？） 416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KfOVsf1Qc
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGSVZ2TsXi
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。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmkDaDexda
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqZJACE2nG
對。蕾現在是吸血鬼，吸食鮮血的……怪物。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvf5FiPTFr
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9y7zPgjlAW
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……416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqliFoq10G
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5ozPTqIc5
（姊姊會忘了我吧？）416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdgEikTrYW
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz24mtgYfYC
「茜幹什麼這麼望著我嘛？啊！我知道了！是茜也口乾吧！」416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR09XNRx1GN
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuYxmDKkJJ
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。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Dh7rIuyL9
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2r58xZkRjJ
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……416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFkcWPsv2A
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0LvYyNZKF
「呀、抱歉……這麼牽著手太累了！不如我直接入來，好嗎？」416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYj5nf8wm1c
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKWEwIQTpE
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。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDS8AgxPZi
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzXpQGSVkj
「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。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCsE8QLwRM
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1cJsctjoG
（蕾記起當時的狀況嗎？她會不會恨我？）416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzrwRN4KY3
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyiOwgsLKRN
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8op2rdXs6
她們的父母早在戰火中離世，二人一直、一直都在一起。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTrGN91gzN
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nhQtF9jiQ
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。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXuGRNolpk
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhxLMK917g
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。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNpPbXw6Tx
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaA74VnMh2
「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。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDDNra0TNX
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0aVSFWGmT
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。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwK46prohX
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOKfLhAS9q
直至某天……416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyuaX4HVN6
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPw7veoFDp
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。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTTIDs1Rug
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4oIRqmkIMT
只要二人一起，去哪裡也沒關係！416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFr906wDs05
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOB0Ejr73fX
沒多久，她們就被趕出了城鎮，來到了森林。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Axqby8pcq
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VuCmSrLPC
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。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVS0zO1RD8Y
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6V3RIvpC0
野獸在身邊徘徊，等待她們力盡之時。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvDEv42zBe
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57rPluGRwc
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……416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWCt9wWtWH
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHlh4PcNER
半昏迷的茜，突然感到有液體流入口中。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecrxwI1CNM
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjRlEIx49e
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。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIrhmqRyFY
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklwoDbxWmW
那些，是什麼來呢？416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTqdXtFVzf
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJs2xiKX0yM
當時茜什麼也不知道。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oopzbgkCk
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBqkyVCS8n
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。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjF9QI7PZWl
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrmAw2t3p7
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？416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn77vAJv9G1
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUQZeF31jo
只是剛吃飽，她就覺很累很累，沒多久又沉沉地睡著了。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nYlYHqqhV
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRtWmR40Pp
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWr0dGQib3
「……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。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZClcyXoW9
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkN6uVtfObn
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。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGK26bhICD
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fmrV76GgP
「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。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDP3njtiDr
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMgSDgLLq2
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。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXd8IUYMSb0
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwqzvIhkpM
蕾和他對視，神色間霎然溫和起來。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLpniQWVlN
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjlNK1PWbt
「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。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKjeHQ2cbP
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3lfOKuWLL
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。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CjYHwYCDS
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrpfqtn1WB
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！416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiS47zMAxH4
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCgwSBJ23n
「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。」416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yhzVj6kye
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Kl28mp3u6
「哦。」416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvK1uVeFZW
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYCXpSadSf
待蕾大約地把事情交代後，她就和男子一起消失於門外。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZGQeDHzOd
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3EixThZmR
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……416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHL4UEOJ0n4
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjtCXOdB61
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。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLLrCj0Kmy
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgYsrNhiQo
很幸福吧？416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXUNEhdfYM
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknIyBtaeIl
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。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxM9jsC9RUa
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7xYPg0qky
只是……416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlsoezqUi7
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5sBHvVKcy
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。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfMHIRl4Ju
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7sVQOGbcSk
「晚安，茜小姐。」416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTXZEgwqIa
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAJcrqlNML
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！416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGLQHBv0He
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTsxb8UM7n
「不用叫我小姐啦！」416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOC1DR1THz
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3sZ0nwfNj0
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。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrKKlAEZFo
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ366jU0SrAE
她，只是想姊姊陪在身邊而已。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6U39jx15g7
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvg3pIPJEW3
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。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlIGx5zlay
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTFfJZkxWF
「那個，茜……有沒有看過雙生花？」416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHA4HcPBX2Z
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpozz8iwOzu
「雙生花？」416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkstQCTNH79
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2W4aJoZntl
「嗯，那是一蒂兩朵花的植物，看來就是很親密的樣子——」416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvfAzm1yZJ
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bsiZEloWY
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！416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQnrO6spNH
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2S2PczcSY
「那麼在哪兒啊？」416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrMZNLeRQa
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcyy0dlT0v
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。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARcn5qP4XU
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBcdsRoD3y
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。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldeVofx4cv
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9FU3mkCcc
不過，一切只是傳說，現在已經無從考證。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcxTql5YQd
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWIAyCRP1D
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。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7OPcHsG3T
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgOAIVVzif
幾乎每天到來的，她可從沒見到有什麼雙生花啊！416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4Y8cZsdDt
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TSCoEOI38
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。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIHXpFBPNF
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BEXTPexDH
「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——」416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllL1zOefsT
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJ4244Bx2v
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。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOWz2Ay0MA
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQZTqdpIld
然而，是什麼地方出錯了呢？416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLz7JiOsdUn
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0uW4mUsvN
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？416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLg0PBxnvKh
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPa1eCxLej
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。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMLsQk6x69
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazSQPtbrCP
茜的腦袋中只想著——那個男人是吸血鬼！416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMeML1Dmsc
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMWCDNeG6f
會被殺！會被殺！416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQgjwmnFeS
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxfgeFAA3B
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。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3Jg3XxEgF
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncJbJQk5hm
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。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf00dAsw0kL
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4R9qdwYCw
只是蕾只說：「他是好人。」416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbewHfuJu3
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZRy6O9giM
為什麼？姊姊已不信自己了嗎？416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzO03rgbh8R
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IscCJdibe
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。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBP0OTldYIg
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mC53Z0UNA
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。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2XbmNEvwB
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0rVIYmnnO
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。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6mhcVop3i
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkaEAoRkD1
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！416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGCjcxf5Jb
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShzMq8OGT0
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。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUdYYvAlzf
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOOk9QSlyb
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。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9Am2b0cDH
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQspEiiJu8
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。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0jbU0UjZ4
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFgEWPbMSc
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。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlRCDF0nQv
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxKRQzCWCF
那時是白天，大家都睡著。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BStE6pRQT
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fWa0DlEWQ
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……416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETIbSd4e4R
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiteSkDt9MC
一個又一個地被殺害、燒死。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfuP4dH3PQ
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqeHcneYYS
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。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qryrcV7Ay
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPnDVzcPRj
「姊姊！姊姊！」416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjrEl5EyFq
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgJaGgsJK7
去了哪兒啊？416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYfuigW2H9
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlxngjdwD7
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。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjnQcKp3ep
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9soru34yS3
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。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44f1IjHAew
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1fU0ojlmJ
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。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hojPffZfu
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIsVwi2wI6
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？416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxNgZSbMD0
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEkiAqWtXM
沒有，他救了她們兩姊妹，更照顧她們日常生活。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrzYzIGJbD
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR23ilx1nvY
至此她才終於明白，自己做了不能原諒，也沒法去補救的事。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzaXDb91Pk
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfaXhCuEoc
接著，茜背起蕾逃出城堡。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGalqVxbycP
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRIHJZzX6P
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。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNT2aFowEc
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZpbdyh42O
而在那時開始，蕾也成為了吸血鬼，只能活於黑暗中。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmxLmHQb9k
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytwBzz0R2D
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3SOkTjgBj
「茜！你又發呆了啊！」416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGIjW3GJpe
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIaMCu26Beo
「那個、我今天也帶來了禮物！」416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaCKwyu6wQ
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQuVlIoXOC6
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。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvjUJ9KDID
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrn2PokFQkI
「這是什麼？」416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwkeHa6Q9O
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89Ew9c1g72
「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。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGZ2sa1TW3
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡneaQVoyzNS
一直待到早上，茜才和蕾告別離開。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMXOFXceqd
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsCWP83jbT
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？416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkZFp6e11N
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RpsFtCpwb
即使是短短的瞬間，茜也覺得很難過。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyACnHRIWO
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFS3Ob3XGmo
靠有接近永遠的心情，會是怎麼樣子呢？416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCCSFlkb7J
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb27O46PX6g
想起蕾，茜只覺得很痛苦。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDSGCgdjVM
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QDzvbRCWw
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。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKx7mXoOQR9
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21Edp1Pa4G
不會是想起什麼吧？416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAft4GiZNp7
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0RpOGdzYY
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——416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSSYkUwlS0
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdnovMtwsb
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXOIPjeWyb
花，開了。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEC2Cx2Vbo
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAT1cDzveKf
短短的瞬間綻開，也在下一秒就枯死。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtCdA32zo4
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YfzwmXIcc
「姊姊，很漂亮吧？」416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxIp2bv1Eu
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2X2jtTMr1C
「……」416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DENApRbIV
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLthGqmcA08
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。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8kq89E4Dx
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHj2xOzgC3b
「茜……」416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrK3yepTQrj
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf15xVfhfyi
「呀、是？」416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYA5iC1ApK
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXsUha7sM9
「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。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtoDKgm38p
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPg6B6XgMbq
蕾是吸血鬼！根本不能照到陽光啊！416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7lUTWpomw
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEF1ZpoHRgV
「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。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9E7vQGEN0W
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl83tYQbVdM
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。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEmTdPJS34
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQrk2NqENq
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。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBGD8jxGQT
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITVHUNj2ub
那男人……不，「姊夫」一開始時，根本沒有想要將蕾變成吸血鬼。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKoejvnv0P
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJrQb1BzYj
（一切都是我自以為是的妄想與妒嫉。）416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2gG1909ni
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMi988yz4VA
沒有愛，何生恨？416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qKr51UJ7b
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtAxb7l8Q2
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。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv01RFpMBNc
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxoQIZkurOx
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。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7szpUoZWzO
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1y6FMzY5RI
「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。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jtvTIkkLQ
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvbHRN1etg
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。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAPhhRQEUl
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGaoGDKyRv7
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。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDb4ONzhVP
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesU9bmNTs4
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。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBAoZBhEkd
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAixS8LXcAW
好不容易才走到閣樓，窗戶卻被木板釘死。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCP7L8uMoZo
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAEXQrGvj9
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。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tz1OZ5ON7
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VsxXqH6Uy
「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。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYt4LxgwQoC
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47oaDShI8Q
「姊姊……」416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hddXRIBAe
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWvcgIxlTU
「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。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG26ANKUnXL
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmzAEludpR
叮鈴……416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7SBvPHBHb
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7q4zPVaMFp
果然蕾剛才拿的就是這個，所有事她都記起來了吧？416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktc3JXoWce
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOI3sCbkCg
茜佇足在原地，一句話也說不出來。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IrECjIxwh
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsivhX6UMyK
「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？416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRIKMFYtPH
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotB8PLIb8n
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。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3gO7obUyf
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZgWBUDAui
是被光線迷惑嗎？蕾見到了，見到了如空氣般透明的他。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXwXyYKloN
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGVv20RdmT
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。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGe91HeYm1C
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGMj2WAdu5
「不要啊！姊姊！」茜悲傷的尖叫，令蕾稍微回頭。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQTUbbocga
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yv1aw7M2y
可惜太遲了。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSJyutghYW
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TmmGlvhRL
蕾對茜露出一抹溫暖的微笑後，就縱身到窗外。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvyhtrSPly
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpprwbsfbL
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。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEs2NsulEgE
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuYxjx3Dtd
「太好了，我們終於——」蕾無法說畢的話，化作輕煙。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSKqq7J6aO
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvAFpIR1L1
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。416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRU3rGj98iW
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEdUbXGzUG
「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。
