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。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NFGoElwWn
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrI4doDAzh
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。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMMQsGXAQp
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0qj1QBVSd
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。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7195m57Gg
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡle3CDWG0QW
不，不對。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSiZnjxWUz
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAGM4MaEtv
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」？468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTv4NX2qiM
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAP12vRZ3b4
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。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5XWoQrJ0e
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNHSvUlLNF
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。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpch2QbdLys
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lJEkfOTwb
說美女是稱不上，但總算是可人兒。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkcKGZWbgM
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtUbvPS9fA
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。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PkS38ku1R
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXowEqeI32
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。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrFRXjRd7q
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxPqU1meMy
「茜，你終於來了啊……」468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVJAhveXKs
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnEC1yXk6K
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。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdeDxhgXSGR
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEc9YoYCWL
「姊姊，睡飽了？」茜輕輕地呼喚對方，也就是自己的姊姊——蕾。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5E9Xw1BL5
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Uwq38YBan
「唔、好像……是吧……我已不太記得了。」468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1i0Dj9hwK
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKxSgucPCK
「姊姊……」468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnApH1WZCp
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqQJ2gUmqK
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。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5VAFSB9rV
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNeJAuX1wLo
不！她才不要！即使姊姊已經不再是——468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYWagtIiCF
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuoF2ScBse
總之，她不可能把姊姊丟下！468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBLr2Hinp3
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNqsQJ3YE2
「茜在想什麼？別不說話，我會怕啦！這裡又一點光也沒有……」468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Xgap8cMdD
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2IbG9u3VlK
「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。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfINgdmvT3h
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqKEYeX9F1
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。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpPM8mdvQh
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCg8HD76ob
（啊啊，在我老死後，姊姊要怎麼辦呢？） 468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZcxaoccHW
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0IOuigcJr
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。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QUQHkj1vy
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw28hwJg4wE
對。蕾現在是吸血鬼，吸食鮮血的……怪物。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwSATNG5YJ
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjoCL3eph7
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……468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1f7zLdOYsA
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoGgtL8pQJ
（姊姊會忘了我吧？）468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLIB8M3rvr
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfXss5YxZU
「茜幹什麼這麼望著我嘛？啊！我知道了！是茜也口乾吧！」468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZ4HO6hE0p
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprdu7CZbdn
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。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33fsZkBOxU
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTm4FI35Ol
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……468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgW4tW36et
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMah2ZvIFq
「呀、抱歉……這麼牽著手太累了！不如我直接入來，好嗎？」468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRB5zyJZk53
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9W2O0I2cjj
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。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9rT8IuEMy
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBFGhXkqF2
「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。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6mfeHkQDH
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFGPniC8Ll
（蕾記起當時的狀況嗎？她會不會恨我？）468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzB2ksWeai
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbN9txmuCc
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VtQeVwu74
她們的父母早在戰火中離世，二人一直、一直都在一起。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0iFWPY06h
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6QXPqhmUA
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。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgI99BqPD5
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVj3jkyjv3
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。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxoSgUPvNnw
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4vZivEBxt
「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。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTw4e487xqm
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2pJMFiQJR
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。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYEiDKc4jP
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCds9FPQBpV
直至某天……468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zvarh3sG0
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkbOc1Z6Rj
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。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoggzoFWkD
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfjDuNGPMQ
只要二人一起，去哪裡也沒關係！468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4RWwjwOaf
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdx5YXSnP5
沒多久，她們就被趕出了城鎮，來到了森林。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2bay3EOex
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpnNqrwDWK
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。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3iUFRQU43
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwjzmRCNfO
野獸在身邊徘徊，等待她們力盡之時。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2djOhMpEH5
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FWCrcPdOt
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……468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6ipDZPYKu
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsB2v85Kox4
半昏迷的茜，突然感到有液體流入口中。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRh1sYg48X
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfl2wEAPpK1
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。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31LzAQl3CO
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZmwYhsFgY
那些，是什麼來呢？468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUvUkWUmLn
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEdCrSIEBX
當時茜什麼也不知道。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQ4mLapAk6
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKl8L0X4IQ3
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。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiAarqDFgR
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dq5qFVmDd
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？468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZUS9GBmbD
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBirW4E8esA
只是剛吃飽，她就覺很累很累，沒多久又沉沉地睡著了。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbVyiAUbpM
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIaPGFABGf
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfYe7R5rcQ
「……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。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3y4tRNNoo
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeWk1W1iGT
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。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WIvLo6kUt
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfnEOu52H3
「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。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1UUviCM2D
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUw9GSTqqGf
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。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEARKsrFiog
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCkam9xMuz
蕾和他對視，神色間霎然溫和起來。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUN0Kt9TnD
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkE6GmSyhU9
「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。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Sw7scOy2v
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Thgd5EQR7
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。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FFpTViDfd
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfC3uytGrOp
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！468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtMdj1tHAm
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGfVPpBR09
「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。」468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lHV03JwC0
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFaz4LsimtM
「哦。」468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOTnGAgFhU
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGGbtmrExn
待蕾大約地把事情交代後，她就和男子一起消失於門外。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR35nNQe6uG
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iTfdWe4xU
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……468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25xjXc9Ut0
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2vDxukciZ
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。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvt1Z0Y499
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24iOe2SHq8
很幸福吧？468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubrQQJcq65
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjC262IgtDn
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。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtWdiNpdFT
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ym02SANT4
只是……468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtOPI0UwzJ
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsr4GbUt9f
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。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXfa3xuB6T
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3X6p38AIyI
「晚安，茜小姐。」468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerCYygQva7
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9TMGOmjYz
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！468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcldZJRhOP
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgcRhBybWo
「不用叫我小姐啦！」468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxPsSF6D72
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSU8jmIEe7
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。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDh59bs6qx
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoJmqjmEkR
她，只是想姊姊陪在身邊而已。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oYf4R5Z3Q
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjlGqnGitC
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。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iHkaQrEUE
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcuGcvWb5R
「那個，茜……有沒有看過雙生花？」468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiv8OZ5ZFbu
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQ9CxEfdOB
「雙生花？」468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyIbNiYFJ5
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wiwrunoea
「嗯，那是一蒂兩朵花的植物，看來就是很親密的樣子——」468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY056AQwxyC
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAUYWnJO9a
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！468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuDSLXzswK
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdPdmE8Vih
「那麼在哪兒啊？」468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz21SvPqG1x
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuXIC6Rc0T
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。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsieWLByg1
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70bJdYmtmz
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。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4UsFHxlzJ
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyDQXUsrso
不過，一切只是傳說，現在已經無從考證。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxx4Xlam25
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3jeQhAYNy
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。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YIShkRT1z
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0jUKM8nQE
幾乎每天到來的，她可從沒見到有什麼雙生花啊！468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewXeBBtxxF
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKzzG0mCV0
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。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQV9vfLpjMh
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ090u2AYBS8
「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——」468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUDhq4U2RV
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9mqTwaWPC
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。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWynXcNyslc
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGBuFtDlX2
然而，是什麼地方出錯了呢？468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORUaOcL8gw
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BiI1DsnET
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？468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcV2KfuPZv
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9sxtoWvPx
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。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡha1w9WfgiA
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxTKADq8Gt
茜的腦袋中只想著——那個男人是吸血鬼！468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQukCKIxTpz
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIzqAGCPXf
會被殺！會被殺！468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbfwgZijMJ
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUu8xKcuB4d
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。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2n9j0W59nQ
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXKXggs8GN
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。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuxYs03H4a
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgffaQwdmLJ
只是蕾只說：「他是好人。」468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90e8eEPn9A
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMDgl2zXjV
為什麼？姊姊已不信自己了嗎？468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DLABfPN0L
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXdOLtggFs
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。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUb1p9DsODn
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxB1ISpgh5
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。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrzv6PpL83
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxQw1B2AxS
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。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DqDJBVUfU
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXZNdi4MDz
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！468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxvQaSW6x7
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUXuAuXoTM
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。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssGhDNRKl1
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kX06iggZS
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。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS52J087zZK
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbKATuIWtD
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。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd57CVRpdaZ
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJZBwEe2nZ
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。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6mijHdaY9
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUCeoCT4c6
那時是白天，大家都睡著。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmC1aM6gWR
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3pHj4bvOR
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……468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FOm5eaGJp
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWr3pUEQIga
一個又一個地被殺害、燒死。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOUXF3sNdh
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKwjhXsuIO
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。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3JtnyCuG4
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCiv3O7v4eC
「姊姊！姊姊！」468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaYksVeOuK
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RxxcTpp1f
去了哪兒啊？468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGxUXVHZUy
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUUYpqYu6w
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。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3f7WuShqMC
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUxMNI1RlZ
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。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsl5gLivBu
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCe9w7RCrJ
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。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cp2fTin4z
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnGfK5oKnh
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？468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbmyNq0xCA
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYMSWnnS0i
沒有，他救了她們兩姊妹，更照顧她們日常生活。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajl8f0KjTp

至此她才終於明白，自己做了不能原諒，也沒法去補救的事。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHHxQL43we
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrIXQypvjp
接著，茜背起蕾逃出城堡。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaz89lLDL83
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6CaijIJ9L
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。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzcF1DYXaM
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6m4Klw8SE
而在那時開始，蕾也成為了吸血鬼，只能活於黑暗中。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xHaVi3pRO
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hdokljlFe
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHmHcd86Dm
「茜！你又發呆了啊！」468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXg6ICbZK0V
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDryVGvrkWs
「那個、我今天也帶來了禮物！」468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQZVJUDMEN
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVZVbgw93v
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。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHfmHYTTGQ
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOZKbN5fjx
「這是什麼？」468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGW5bFBKds
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKHJ44NBkd
「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。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgDGVBToAB
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6l0YaeorI
一直待到早上，茜才和蕾告別離開。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAMW69TMuW
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkuULVUZCOk
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？468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngZ4DlptqN
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP11PvDZ9II
即使是短短的瞬間，茜也覺得很難過。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHcJzsIjns
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYJ6G4sTk8
靠有接近永遠的心情，會是怎麼樣子呢？468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIIweFQoNa
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAB1TS3IY4o
想起蕾，茜只覺得很痛苦。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRENm4KB1l
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnXciCY3ZO
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。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNVZ9sHxz0
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjAHcj46kr
不會是想起什麼吧？468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOk0rOHrI7
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVomvto9v42
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——468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsHGQLTLjV
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZ60655NyJ
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KHbvTywe0
花，開了。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnivstL6IaV
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGMY6tbeSy
短短的瞬間綻開，也在下一秒就枯死。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68EqkeYAov
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXndjbeQaw8
「姊姊，很漂亮吧？」468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmd9vj5LmDM
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJVIC3TnYK
「……」468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QcRnkC4KL
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhldJ0PWW8
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。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvh7cdhXJeE
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3be5e1PNG
「茜……」468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hrvD2HNOW
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBUsLJpQ6h
「呀、是？」468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6KfFll3Xx
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfqWEi7LHS
「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。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi218dJ66mS
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlocgQsEvA
蕾是吸血鬼！根本不能照到陽光啊！468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnI5VTXPbd
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaaeyN6tbqi
「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。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZPgMSk5h5
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqaj1Z9Czo
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。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4YBSxg0np
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUoKJnpqQH
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。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc01A6fzBS0
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2JKsYG2Mx
那男人……不，「姊夫」一開始時，根本沒有想要將蕾變成吸血鬼。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMpFvZHNKv
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNh94W09Wap
（一切都是我自以為是的妄想與妒嫉。）468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0amBlWbUC
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZupwBznehf
沒有愛，何生恨？468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqrhZ5Ysoi
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAkr6Vw0PW
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。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDCg5BVZlX
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xdEgrGywx
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。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MpEQu4tZ0
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgM6QeEqkSU
「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。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFdsD0pRg8
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCS2rnMkKb
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。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc72IgNV7pV
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmr1bC9qi8v
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。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwBTofgdJJ
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSy1jAT1bz
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。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVCtFUOflQ
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0N22h6XU1
好不容易才走到閣樓，窗戶卻被木板釘死。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdDX2N2kYI
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATEL5LnBzb
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。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubiYQDAwRb
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpegczONUTd
「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。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTI4vXOipf3
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGVaADIfbR
「姊姊……」468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfzkh4SIN9
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqeic6q8rS
「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。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwHoqW3gwY
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMRBXcAoZr
叮鈴……468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLugoqnOzs
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLRtMgUAPe
果然蕾剛才拿的就是這個，所有事她都記起來了吧？468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fTv3O9kMn
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1a6mNBeJhu
茜佇足在原地，一句話也說不出來。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyaBkrakii
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCWRcWimjR
「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？468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaELoxUrWJf
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbSYVizNAg
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。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR67PgXGtTH
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfhjC74zbA
是被光線迷惑嗎？蕾見到了，見到了如空氣般透明的他。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8fZM05K0e
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kOi4F6Gr2
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。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm68tN3XuGO
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2dxxjKWs8
「不要啊！姊姊！」茜悲傷的尖叫，令蕾稍微回頭。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnEE8ncMic
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXZaiHVhFk
可惜太遲了。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTqUv9TitF
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PmpJwHsqF
蕾對茜露出一抹溫暖的微笑後，就縱身到窗外。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUykBpb3iqe
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbauT6LmHVJ
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。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJG9sOEEo3
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡciHQV42ae5
「太好了，我們終於——」蕾無法說畢的話，化作輕煙。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHBMk4ngAv
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM12eAskJFf
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。468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vhSENCw5E
468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsus41UCf5
「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。
