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。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQ64yj4zqS
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4I1go4q8A
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。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusJLzyO3Ni
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNlafuPSKT
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。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGW68dREzk
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCij9rfSGP
不，不對。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXB1Ln2ob3w
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHTfZljno0
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」？490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKelquQ5SuK
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZn1eDDhuf
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。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexxJgJFwo4
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHokvRwIMwk
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。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFo5yZuHHp
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVJKaLokSw
說美女是稱不上，但總算是可人兒。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vU8MjYgCQ
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavokAhIDS4
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。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGivfr1SAVD
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdIsUkUsyU
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。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyBEnWsYrq
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEGEFIbLuf
「茜，你終於來了啊……」490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KxClJL2Tu
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAxJBj9UVz
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。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbHZAW7oMV
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmDmpqh3jk
「姊姊，睡飽了？」茜輕輕地呼喚對方，也就是自己的姊姊——蕾。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaDAXe7xAu
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbAHljzsCw
「唔、好像……是吧……我已不太記得了。」490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlTXZIaRGU
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxP1NrQVmeq
「姊姊……」490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZ1YTuhptC
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDL10aoQyh
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。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxmBcPZDAc
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGT8DARHORe
不！她才不要！即使姊姊已經不再是——490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8A1sqW0RD
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTYrhjKZQM
總之，她不可能把姊姊丟下！490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNHKocSvUM
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqU9aDt7GYT
「茜在想什麼？別不說話，我會怕啦！這裡又一點光也沒有……」490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCHsBWO5AH
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNL71kWKlYs
「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。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6ZlORwRiY
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcbyake4sm
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。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PuPirOXZs
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1m2kfcRY1
（啊啊，在我老死後，姊姊要怎麼辦呢？） 490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7mwJZWEhm
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdnJ9K0oCT
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。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNNuvMPPFf
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssBggxCLUq
對。蕾現在是吸血鬼，吸食鮮血的……怪物。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76rW1L042v
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4WotU0oJQ
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……490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9s262Pt2X1
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnSbLT3zA9
（姊姊會忘了我吧？）490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFm54JDpBh
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWb6uQOabO
「茜幹什麼這麼望著我嘛？啊！我知道了！是茜也口乾吧！」490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqJrSg493s
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAzeouXzz4
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。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7P3XLSWJqW
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1eAcqeEsQ
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……490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCN8YlF8lzh
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SF6A0pE2h
「呀、抱歉……這麼牽著手太累了！不如我直接入來，好嗎？」490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHe4cz7wQN0
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAKIZwQzLb
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。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsKiLwUhMb
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATlhVJEwfS
「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。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HYiEQB7SM
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsafowr7ZD3
（蕾記起當時的狀況嗎？她會不會恨我？）490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBJb0ZnUyL
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgKdjj6iNP
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtT6xhlLxby
她們的父母早在戰火中離世，二人一直、一直都在一起。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJEb1ldsk9
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJEaSY1I52
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。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOwJ4mABma
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfIl8NWKmz
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。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrw3qGnHpZ
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrCwftH01K
「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。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwdY1RiRsA
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzj2RiBqUW8
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。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMtp6sD8Gj
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvAyCSMC7N
直至某天……490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSO5XBXbKKO
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9VAvbf6aJ
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。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOU7Pal94d
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vk2PZLWS4
只要二人一起，去哪裡也沒關係！490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxZgvov9ia
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPpGVnzTW8
沒多久，她們就被趕出了城鎮，來到了森林。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8hO8lwi59
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSG7U87RkS
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。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUno5o8pWH
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XXTBpoLws
野獸在身邊徘徊，等待她們力盡之時。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv71S11m00s
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcR3oxuqhp
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……490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFFVUTXqBU
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04wl8rkhzj
半昏迷的茜，突然感到有液體流入口中。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNEZjdWbaF
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JKWF9Ue7e
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。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8FMBcgPE6
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldUf3yyyQF
那些，是什麼來呢？490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTomnnPyXa
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDRbFyUf0r
當時茜什麼也不知道。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiOwvGPkXE
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuIyURWnjo
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。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4eETTFqcZ
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohjjIwbZT5
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？490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7UireejRn
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddTswkVWGJ
只是剛吃飽，她就覺很累很累，沒多久又沉沉地睡著了。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28DFQcLny9
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtM5iOogYYa
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeMT00JetB
「……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。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtzdQrMCvg
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrRQdfBVwk
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。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VUI8rL1oi
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYOrlmpSJR
「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。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4wA2NYejG
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOF8rA2nnAa
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。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSfoVwpmPg
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDLApxFBYo
蕾和他對視，神色間霎然溫和起來。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkEExyTyZD
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrz7DxdQjT
「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。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFGPOzNkuX
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51IlD5YkP7
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。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeTAjQdnZc
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZhN3i1s49
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！490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqX2IZ6FdDa
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27ibXXTwru
「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。」490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHsS9jEtDJ
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNAZrxPXDm
「哦。」490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJHKip4Qrw
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUPsiJFhNc
待蕾大約地把事情交代後，她就和男子一起消失於門外。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSeztEW0ZQ4
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BcMviVpoZ
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……490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnsuZmo1i7
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKe4imsYMp
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。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbRZXoPZON
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhw1f83IHbQ
很幸福吧？490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFB5L35UmT4
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGg3ddxRGIu
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。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmN7r135UA6
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAEw7PI4Yq
只是……490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7DfTPM9ik
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdj1GRDyONt
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。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhnrmJWvM4
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs67D5rJjyg
「晚安，茜小姐。」490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPlU7ASHNV
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOqxGY0Pxe
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！490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOoLBSqomon
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKV1ARSA6P
「不用叫我小姐啦！」490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc54JXCbR11
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05hBhgIYdm
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。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvph6DQIQH9
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmizUZEjwc
她，只是想姊姊陪在身邊而已。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3kfp60VZH
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolh3kOwP66
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。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JjQwVWAOm
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sZFF1EzSJ
「那個，茜……有沒有看過雙生花？」490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHeVvpv8o8
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnnEAorjE2
「雙生花？」490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZ6MV3CEdw
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7bBmZZEaJ
「嗯，那是一蒂兩朵花的植物，看來就是很親密的樣子——」490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbV5QOVebVn
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvJSDycuqL
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！490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZwG5GkgbC
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUHnUeMXtM
「那麼在哪兒啊？」490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4tCcZvPkI
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KVGiDTTgU
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。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAMwXQtTjL
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkK4y6AWim
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。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEsZKQE7jP
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglvfz4ySAV
不過，一切只是傳說，現在已經無從考證。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ542zYeWYGN
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uvr9zBEHq
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。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLf9jCPGlZP
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKGoFRn3wy
幾乎每天到來的，她可從沒見到有什麼雙生花啊！490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSSyK5rjYO
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKxvzF5vmW
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。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYVSaPcVMD
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswcQVQ3oO9
「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——」490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSN5u7CDnj
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrU8b2dvXLN
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。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvXrhi2yCa
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjsnmFAgUW
然而，是什麼地方出錯了呢？490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzGtrOqZ2A
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTf4GtvWbCB
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？490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44JDToMlYm
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpY8yq3M1c3
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。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZkKXG4n2w
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEI5qQE01nA
茜的腦袋中只想著——那個男人是吸血鬼！490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmK0CtyHOHZ
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJ24cpCW8D
會被殺！會被殺！490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmkMgprWz9
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6NsCdkVl9
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。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHOAN8lArw
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tObG5BVSV
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。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVLZchZq97
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLdYUGGQDB
只是蕾只說：「他是好人。」490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwHbSHYRhn
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPP4nnRxhDo
為什麼？姊姊已不信自己了嗎？490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqgZr8RncE
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mXIElHkDN
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。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubEU4F5R9o
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1DxUJO82y
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。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04cCjCrfAp
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurGo7VfG2y
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。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCiEFlrG4j2
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGbQkZeEsl
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！490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFjDRpk2pt
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1INxArCx5
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。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Lw1Jo9MWL
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQgUXI4sq9
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。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5boxdEHIw8
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXW5XvuuC3
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。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXcbknOjpR
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmDQSQtQwg
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。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXg4LJXwD5b
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpLwLioNlL
那時是白天，大家都睡著。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BflpqmhD9
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOCZNilaIn
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……490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZVI30NxGc
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQpjiMV1hj
一個又一個地被殺害、燒死。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXiVn8RG6H
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3MP1USnaI
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。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydcP5Acrrk
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbUIXzvZwJ
「姊姊！姊姊！」490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2drJtcjxTL
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50hYguOTbn
去了哪兒啊？490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlm6tW3xb8
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0GLCVD6Ho
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。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrcEWvYDVy
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzRqovse9M
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。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WWCdweqJn
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TF728QhZq
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。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnoBHOcNjK
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPie37t8FHD
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？490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJIBdWFAtN
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrcTsN9LmG
沒有，他救了她們兩姊妹，更照顧她們日常生活。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzJTVttGo4
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡES5xjjMvYe
至此她才終於明白，自己做了不能原諒，也沒法去補救的事。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9eH5q3wjb
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMAAKwdE7G
接著，茜背起蕾逃出城堡。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzyFDGER1S
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bwbqm57uB
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。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiwzAxPsqE
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpH5rAWBsVt
而在那時開始，蕾也成為了吸血鬼，只能活於黑暗中。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThfGeLkFo4
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PGUU2vCHz
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagX8cjXiAz
「茜！你又發呆了啊！」490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbVF1Rh0M3
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6eJwWaImv
「那個、我今天也帶來了禮物！」490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPvF6ZhQ9F
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4J8r2JKNK
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。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ABDDy9y0q
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqMLhQcw3n
「這是什麼？」490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0ecWFyn8Z
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDaQw4fMoT
「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。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NTPIOr68F
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6jUNLobGR
一直待到早上，茜才和蕾告別離開。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9bA28DLPK
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvH9SNUxGJH
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？490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnO5hkr4i0H
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJp4COU0Ig
即使是短短的瞬間，茜也覺得很難過。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTTHnrMjh7
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2ZCqAgUH0
靠有接近永遠的心情，會是怎麼樣子呢？490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4e0YIw4bw7
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilPbZeQn88
想起蕾，茜只覺得很痛苦。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAv1o80OWW1
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlF1gKHD4Qr
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。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIq7zke1ZK5
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHYlrSDey6
不會是想起什麼吧？490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYg4orJIAFZ
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJJQG2NCrB
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——490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXDzEYKWlJ
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHCCsHUhQh
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8RtGO9e4z
花，開了。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKv836RHKbi
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMYiu8eDBE
短短的瞬間綻開，也在下一秒就枯死。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7h4qEgvPWt
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSPNdIT9IB
「姊姊，很漂亮吧？」490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tLMeGB7oU
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohfTI9LCda
「……」490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlVqm9PPN7
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYv0yYnzTlM
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。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAALLcDM3g6
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZXpEcz0Uv
「茜……」490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALjtaSKfIy
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIGklbWTOE
「呀、是？」490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvnhoFrvp5
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUW3W2NpPT
「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。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckiAfVoEXg
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rJx3Tl97L
蕾是吸血鬼！根本不能照到陽光啊！490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21beuYgT5K
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHZMAeCK9z
「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。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04DiiHBbCw
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKib8FhXf5v
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。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1N9fnx2Ec
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzvitnVfug
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。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29VTEPkXmV
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWJyxmPFCG
那男人……不，「姊夫」一開始時，根本沒有想要將蕾變成吸血鬼。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37E0BPZ2hn
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zDchgLl3Z
（一切都是我自以為是的妄想與妒嫉。）490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAw5qnCtOX
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI50tgiFlvu
沒有愛，何生恨？490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZH1GvRLN7
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsLOh87Fm5
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。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEnGJGiMrQ
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtc86eTKQUF
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。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyhfjv92ys
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbDEzYCcV5
「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。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeeP2Vs6yci
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJwKhK4ukT
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。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZaYzhsFdn
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8wyEhmBIl
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。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeS0FqBV3xi
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnK0mFN7Uh
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。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MqFFyKxfF
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDP8jFTwTP1
好不容易才走到閣樓，窗戶卻被木板釘死。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyz9ofJPFgi
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiq94x3EpBg
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。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHNAqkDlUp
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcabTWDxrnC
「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。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe99NdnJBOz
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEO0y44X3o
「姊姊……」490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZXQxlO2kt
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4btau6hOxx
「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。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJWML8u64q
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SlHKSnodG
叮鈴……490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡev2htk0nSG
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7dCo9DBrk
果然蕾剛才拿的就是這個，所有事她都記起來了吧？490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSq8ImSds3P
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLTwIxb9Ex
茜佇足在原地，一句話也說不出來。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoDzDgx0AW
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxclZSWoSMX
「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？490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfGThec5BM
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6JtOYAqHR
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。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RU0GDGojU
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErfTh9cFuF
是被光線迷惑嗎？蕾見到了，見到了如空氣般透明的他。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPUh6nTr48
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eql5qAUab
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。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTdHpbL68Z
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZYoMGvPQu
「不要啊！姊姊！」茜悲傷的尖叫，令蕾稍微回頭。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2FI7rBEk0
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGy5CU9h4q
可惜太遲了。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4uJHHn1ch
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZWfVir8dW
蕾對茜露出一抹溫暖的微笑後，就縱身到窗外。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkyc8klG6yz
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomndvWaiGQ
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。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUZgEi0XiL
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXUMTq40n8
「太好了，我們終於——」蕾無法說畢的話，化作輕煙。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFq1pC69nm
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuWXOj0vbK
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。490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pxqK1vbpR
490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWY15gX4Edn
「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。
