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。431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIY7hy3g83
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XjJQv3z1S
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。431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmKadf6v0y
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvUXTQZ1yJ
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。431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydwpzbvV6R
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcxSgyFI8A
不，不對。431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyAEaT3fcZ
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqnJJm85vt
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」？431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9Vnne17z7
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPobZXv1u1
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。431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0CQ1RhJYL
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8S9ZK3KZni
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。431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LkXoFE7J3
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYaq37WnAU
說美女是稱不上，但總算是可人兒。431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEISXG99rp2
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0W0F9OEnI
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。431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8U1nl8r8S
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqb49Q5GtvM
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。431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8FosGAsNy
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeaV4nuaqZn
「茜，你終於來了啊……」431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxkstaJOm1
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKY1NrvCejj
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。431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZZWX4yIxd
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbA6hoFdgjS
「姊姊，睡飽了？」茜輕輕地呼喚對方，也就是自己的姊姊——蕾。431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbGWIOmldy
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2qN9N1dgU
「唔、好像……是吧……我已不太記得了。」431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsZffxmuV5
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0XS0QWJIY
「姊姊……」431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzd0BmxIYx
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6A0q05GTCa
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。431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxeOVzY5P6
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVWfWZfy3V
不！她才不要！即使姊姊已經不再是——431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzio9JGs0l
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78a2BH9vl1
總之，她不可能把姊姊丟下！431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCY82wAMJu
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeh2GB0FZD
「茜在想什麼？別不說話，我會怕啦！這裡又一點光也沒有……」431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuGupEQNbN
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrAC8Gr0AP
「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。431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhF6z3ihzem
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tolJaisS1
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。431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhlMqM6DNb
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFVDiGd4ri
（啊啊，在我老死後，姊姊要怎麼辦呢？） 431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEJ9aGYyDl
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNB6ArUcEB
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。431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPjYzi53CD
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjckrYvdyn
對。蕾現在是吸血鬼，吸食鮮血的……怪物。431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0bpB0GQ6B
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNMlI5Umaz
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……431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSMpS8xAPj
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NTgX56wn6
（姊姊會忘了我吧？）431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsncNJJAMAz
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OfEIdLWvs
「茜幹什麼這麼望著我嘛？啊！我知道了！是茜也口乾吧！」431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdfIIYT5rB
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgNVB7R1oZ
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。431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYW1PKtnURc
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSaGmwxoyW
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……431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBo5EBjL4D
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jxtQDj2GF
「呀、抱歉……這麼牽著手太累了！不如我直接入來，好嗎？」431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkepIiXYz7a
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclZ7RRuUe4
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。431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0cHLFdbME
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRVzmdvn4k
「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。431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAwbnWqpOb
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79Ky7W4BiI
（蕾記起當時的狀況嗎？她會不會恨我？）431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYVEPvFOpd
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLn0Bd6wyFX
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZj7f56r5M
她們的父母早在戰火中離世，二人一直、一直都在一起。431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQagkpGHiUc
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qp96fzy49
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。431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUS22TSm5K
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoskAhWuyJL
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。431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qhd3BiKoW
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtewMSJSALN
「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。431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaHcBBDJZK
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUlI567LbC
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。431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoO7VFMBO7Q
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8epWarEmuB
直至某天……431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemwITSsKA6
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuddcyT1kW0
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。431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwo995jjDN
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5aiuADVdp7
只要二人一起，去哪裡也沒關係！431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gI1tFNp8T
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByol2I7mQJ
沒多久，她們就被趕出了城鎮，來到了森林。431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGe3ms3y4S7
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79LIOJs1F0
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。431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQB3npALQl
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebxFXBt4ui
野獸在身邊徘徊，等待她們力盡之時。431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofJXkZnyGO
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmo3eIgDBNu
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……431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjBlRYEb6f
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDcIOAsqSi
半昏迷的茜，突然感到有液體流入口中。431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupG1YxsEZM
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfc6SBlsHqQ
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。431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2MtNHyWpD
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1V6GoZGsxw
那些，是什麼來呢？431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrOxUxIt77
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiTidZoyiR
當時茜什麼也不知道。431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LaI0xc52k
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROBuzwGjtu
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。431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbqX7allCY
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1XPCXWdS4
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？431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnerhC0zEV
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFk52QNaRi
只是剛吃飽，她就覺很累很累，沒多久又沉沉地睡著了。431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZC1OIMMqc
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlj5W3PX1EV
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nZw9yqDmi
「……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。431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyMK23HV1n
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zr7l0e7nb
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。431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oY3tWwiUM
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcjbIZCGSc
「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。431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAER1KkA0IS
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lJdSVGdju
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。431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxUpStjpJf
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GUW8Xstby
蕾和他對視，神色間霎然溫和起來。431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3MzFqMnGW
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjVyyUJVlQ
「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。431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AGOL5LxFu
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ijaKU34IW
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。431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbap9Vk5CBT
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjOqqfxojm
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！431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JjO34ShWG
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkR2OPs5Dq
「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。」431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RQN8x4419
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlV60FOmv2z
「哦。」431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkbwTTA3jb
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJCAhY0JeC
待蕾大約地把事情交代後，她就和男子一起消失於門外。431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2rVCh2iZu
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuSnFloiZL
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……431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXm0wQPg0v8
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2HspLrycp
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。431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnO1AdXdJNN
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8sLLm8HjA
很幸福吧？431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7CForeADD
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkq8JwumRLW
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。431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VMsiACAwz
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9eXsLT8Pq
只是……431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudPpZSvGsl
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZbB7ueBfX
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。431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj65QuCNiiP
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVgfvXgxAN
「晚安，茜小姐。」431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhL395zAcv3
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTfvGmcbzy
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！431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDEKhohLnU
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7SthlSB5W
「不用叫我小姐啦！」431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3k4rIroHyW
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYNvrjmP59
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。431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUeCBsR89d9
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3869VjleH
她，只是想姊姊陪在身邊而已。431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKldYSOrdO5
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVBB7zvhc9
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。431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2RxOqzX52
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5leKk3VeO
「那個，茜……有沒有看過雙生花？」431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcbKwDuBtV
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33OBhDlGN7
「雙生花？」431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5d2ycwjEUZ
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEDLAhFHC4
「嗯，那是一蒂兩朵花的植物，看來就是很親密的樣子——」431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRgxyCXLSd
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytVsule0vp
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！431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KeVUl8gMn
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kBa7fQ6Qq
「那麼在哪兒啊？」431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbA6YekiqeG
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsd5PgS7YQq
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。431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4IIPSuYgz
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo955jeYk7Y
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。431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6pzBIKCkC
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTfHsdVA4J
不過，一切只是傳說，現在已經無從考證。431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhi4EJhhAbD
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0n5QSrtQK
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。431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0TYd9HRMz
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWs5TxzMzvh
幾乎每天到來的，她可從沒見到有什麼雙生花啊！431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgGFgniXE4
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexA4FNKb1B
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。431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRVJ5IXblD
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ubJhP3sPP
「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——」431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5PCM0RLLk
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNE05RteTEw
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。431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZfIFfyEWX
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWinb7iOeY
然而，是什麼地方出錯了呢？431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Qx6MfEEzS
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFDyqDTH4u
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？431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLLL7kkjGP
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSThVnoC5M
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。431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7JvfVxLnY
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMg9ylwtqm
茜的腦袋中只想著——那個男人是吸血鬼！431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFikzLdXSz
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtiSsh2SbpK
會被殺！會被殺！431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxrD5YKdmg
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nkZnkidw1
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。431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1V6rHj85s
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLUhWRmkWs
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。431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ259hQ7JLE5
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNID7b1kSw4
只是蕾只說：「他是好人。」431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87GCCX5bEo
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyRBeIDcX9
為什麼？姊姊已不信自己了嗎？431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNJ7hvRkGk
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdFVKSLhCt
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。431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSz4HHoHsQX
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZRKt9Yb0q
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。431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5ZUg7X7gl
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUWQM4HWRx
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。431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvCuio4JxS
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0rkMDBt5Z
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！431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGX9oJeYpKd
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6hdAx3N3R
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。431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRZIC771Hq
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwEEDAR46N
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。431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjcGDgtbdb
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRilMYpVxPl
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。431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PCS6yNCOH
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDs1RyiThL7
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。431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQp4FIMPbd
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAaLy5yWqn
那時是白天，大家都睡著。431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQMU3G9OHB
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLpnMlLPvZ
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……431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59FrdBVwCj
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJ7Y5K8qQw
一個又一個地被殺害、燒死。431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFQGRvY8v7
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IhKtUVfMz
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。431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefXENCDq6L
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cPWFOzqBh
「姊姊！姊姊！」431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwi0OaYTRDC
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHsdttZKTr
去了哪兒啊？431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbVxBeTfXW
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfgFvV914Y
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。431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cVaINKY0d
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AHpFnpQfQ
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。431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3c1BP6DIn
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnRgvZIDb1
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。431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxyqcVQoMX
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3LztZUUKE
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？431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QzXXjAX2H
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13eVSdzRxz
沒有，他救了她們兩姊妹，更照顧她們日常生活。431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGY58lQSbeF
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPApKI1pLw
至此她才終於明白，自己做了不能原諒，也沒法去補救的事。431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57TQn8heXE
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnDHhvGdfa
接著，茜背起蕾逃出城堡。431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1nW6TYhRJ
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhgXwh1Fdb
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。431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MioOx1hu5
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4FpQcFJMS
而在那時開始，蕾也成為了吸血鬼，只能活於黑暗中。431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmtKayVBpF
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPEUraqUJD
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCHDDyzf1I
「茜！你又發呆了啊！」431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKP1KPbe0zH
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtqNpRELfS
「那個、我今天也帶來了禮物！」431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPRxOeuOJo
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzjHWwryBq
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。431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDspuT8hPRw
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06IFc3ouUJ
「這是什麼？」431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3C57BWrn35
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNKPSepvOu
「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。431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKiYugeBZV
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbneIXXjgZ
一直待到早上，茜才和蕾告別離開。431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstsZ7JVL6z
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz56LieWntO
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？431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipBccLYL57
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVjiIsaj8I
即使是短短的瞬間，茜也覺得很難過。431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZd0NLmcEA
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdSHp4gxdj
靠有接近永遠的心情，會是怎麼樣子呢？431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxiqQrFjsi
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgVd9hJXcr
想起蕾，茜只覺得很痛苦。431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYkxn9jvv9
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEh4lGhrJi
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。431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kFRVwerQQ
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFEVjovRcN
不會是想起什麼吧？431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo41x7SckGv
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnkomyn2MR
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——431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpY58rUtFEF
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCst69F95zQ
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2DMqloxgV
花，開了。431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXi5axpjXrK
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0I13iaJiQf
短短的瞬間綻開，也在下一秒就枯死。431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfhEdTSgYf
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupZ7C3hQy8
「姊姊，很漂亮吧？」431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSWfCAKDnG
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsLBCqCZ6o
「……」431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl68Eoxd2wj
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiF4aTgnBvl
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。431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6kTV02oWJ
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjCxEVDqnK
「茜……」431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4lrnkSgpn
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQWAOaursT
「呀、是？」431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEg1z3eItDJ
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbE89Fx3sxp
「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。431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡteoPojzuBy
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYtGLfyX30
蕾是吸血鬼！根本不能照到陽光啊！431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlGcCZB2af
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ71yVU7jsZ
「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。431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIO43CqDMZ
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjeudoTBKQ
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。431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxyy3qLKAV
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOhRJj6UK4
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。431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXeeeRdSVQ
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdv0BNBBDN2
那男人……不，「姊夫」一開始時，根本沒有想要將蕾變成吸血鬼。431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisuh3yUfWD
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzHStpnTYf
（一切都是我自以為是的妄想與妒嫉。）431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztmasFjW5c
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YIORkBFwU
沒有愛，何生恨？431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPWwDE2TLo
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZGdVMAvWO
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。431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRGCOjJH7q
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGW7r5pVGM
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。431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eauhy9RSZ
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78GpqkXc6O
「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。431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAdRwFUDmg
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaskikOwyl
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。431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUPbJSKB3j
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjR3fzQRUC0
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。431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcRFJQfU1M
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncZudKY9bE
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。431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRUxyVN00B
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhKTL1g9ok
好不容易才走到閣樓，窗戶卻被木板釘死。431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSs2ajSVDIh
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKkLJfq8q5
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。431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBFbugoFl8
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK98CSROb3T
「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。431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROJ7npFAyv
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiNkkUiKKh
「姊姊……」431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3f4cZnSNoY
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKXeirAu5Q
「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。431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcicNZCC46T
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1UFrcAbBN
叮鈴……431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpu5KdIJBQe
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZsHOwR3lT
果然蕾剛才拿的就是這個，所有事她都記起來了吧？431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScJ50Q24NS
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQnhNethf7
茜佇足在原地，一句話也說不出來。431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOC9ATiNQof
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AKx13g4Vw
「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？431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHjw0Rj5tJ
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORf3w1h3t6
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。431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfGB1NQ70E
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaoevGNNA8L
是被光線迷惑嗎？蕾見到了，見到了如空氣般透明的他。431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIsjtavsIR
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5h4QdPZR4i
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。431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡioFdpoWD3R
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNf47cgC5d
「不要啊！姊姊！」茜悲傷的尖叫，令蕾稍微回頭。431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PYrlaSJZj
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKFQxFhpTn
可惜太遲了。431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6fL1QVHzT
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNM0yfVaaT
蕾對茜露出一抹溫暖的微笑後，就縱身到窗外。431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwinvhkqac
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYL5QXuHVZk
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。431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYwMQAQueX
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVXRIIkTw5
「太好了，我們終於——」蕾無法說畢的話，化作輕煙。431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNqIcqPD9i
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnSNSGaj84
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。431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsju6HekUw
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pbAjrkLft
「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。
