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。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYGGH4wufT
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsLeUNy2mM
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。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvYNMYxqDd
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRTlQ8zgW5
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。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0WlG9ubtX
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGGtEoTpOV
不，不對。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwRP3yMuAu
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9BKMnMrNN
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」？458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueUoyVZCka
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsL0Q8QiDQ
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。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcpz3gIkAj
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZ6qRjOt2S
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。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutuNySfmbX
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQxfwCsaiM
說美女是稱不上，但總算是可人兒。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SUPUxQ9nr
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyTEeuJlq8
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。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2EJHLLIYh
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHlFBI3DAB
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。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvpnumfEVd
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mbjNvFiMg
「茜，你終於來了啊……」458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIn9Lg7XwCr
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4vvRp5AOe
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。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgDxZ9dffM
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSW3cCke1g
「姊姊，睡飽了？」茜輕輕地呼喚對方，也就是自己的姊姊——蕾。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mPC988yT6
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtFB3Hivjv
「唔、好像……是吧……我已不太記得了。」458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEQql68OkH
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQgF6A7Gcq
「姊姊……」458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRfAU6amzX
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWmxdWzKxU
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。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpprro7Xju
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DIg5GiPCm
不！她才不要！即使姊姊已經不再是——458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTSWOePTWz
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDmyrTzWWa
總之，她不可能把姊姊丟下！458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfk0TdqheOx
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAiT0FriST
「茜在想什麼？別不說話，我會怕啦！這裡又一點光也沒有……」458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZhRBfhhLl
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ030FPrwstK
「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。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKo8oMUdR1
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1aPa44WeyO
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。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mpciloY4M
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8u2PoGfCc
（啊啊，在我老死後，姊姊要怎麼辦呢？） 458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgCxJxpsmB
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDaKI7HoHu
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。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyNnQG3ITl
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNkUTrSvHw
對。蕾現在是吸血鬼，吸食鮮血的……怪物。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHB7juy9d2E
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfpxJtmA5n
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……458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7AVN2VgkK
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVhYxs9ynU
（姊姊會忘了我吧？）458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJ6WMBrH2N
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZqs1NY8xS
「茜幹什麼這麼望著我嘛？啊！我知道了！是茜也口乾吧！」458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡciSY81FxMS
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33QfiyfvLZ
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。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxwAvUEmDp
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡveiaXSmJwU
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……458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkK45PQWsyQ
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZjSdzxxqm
「呀、抱歉……這麼牽著手太累了！不如我直接入來，好嗎？」458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqdv3HnqAo
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYEZ2daov7
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。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUaAP4grrWE
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3aPoiFCMv
「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。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGbovnMA1Y
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNwq20voW2
（蕾記起當時的狀況嗎？她會不會恨我？）458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7TZgCu49Q
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6GAp10VyE
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9GSpoWzHF
她們的父母早在戰火中離世，二人一直、一直都在一起。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZE0DWhNPnp
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6AM0SwEbG7
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。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyE5J3KHm3f
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Hy80DzAC6
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。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3zDJjL8vi
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZMfWt5f4G
「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。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8ZVaVjfHF
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqo1SqXiSe
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。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJrVwKgn22
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr49XQb43P4
直至某天……458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwEAVY5xNZ
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqS62jjwzl9
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。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjOi9lBJK1
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJp1vzcoENc
只要二人一起，去哪裡也沒關係！458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKXma4p6No
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3eN1bZIpdN
沒多久，她們就被趕出了城鎮，來到了森林。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJiwC7OtgW
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6HdG6cYVh
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。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLZrUUUGKh
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxOqPvbrfc
野獸在身邊徘徊，等待她們力盡之時。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UbJ7kkRdP
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8KplS5YpK
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……458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdBvhAB6d1
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LMDl0t37T
半昏迷的茜，突然感到有液體流入口中。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWV4gLQTKK
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRuYLQ9nMw
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。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKslzbFqh2
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLBVAn18xa
那些，是什麼來呢？458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAT805gK0l
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3ToiINtfJ
當時茜什麼也不知道。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpqhgfFxi7
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJIp2oocbZ
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。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIKkGiDYh0
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95c13E0X7Y
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？458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN42whlM9F4
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjYDJdIQ2O
只是剛吃飽，她就覺很累很累，沒多久又沉沉地睡著了。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3YzQ2xPGS
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnjnVO8Jxh
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5YYG6Tdmk
「……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。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcWOxJH9td
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuoyA1ocTA
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。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5T0KQVR9OI
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkb50etwh53
「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。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0r8NjAVfh7
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDuJLLhgql
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。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAQKl0NYqy
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CJWvcAbit
蕾和他對視，神色間霎然溫和起來。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHJdBCGl6S
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CWQuAP7K9
「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。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUT5xdX4iZQ
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfqQYpHctA
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。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxcm1VC71v
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjt51zW6cZ1
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！458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1962iO1gl
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYV2zvjrazH
「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。」458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzx4TtcrbxH
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdvCJasL0B
「哦。」458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGaZXuWvhhl
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbZV4p0Mf3
待蕾大約地把事情交代後，她就和男子一起消失於門外。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAQ8IicEky
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajJHsgs0d1
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……458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51fds1lx1N
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgf9jCwkQws
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。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIToS9UqpY
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lLWrvSt5a
很幸福吧？458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuP5GZ7wy5h
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNyUGx2aRP
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。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEPiAcFVaL
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPTcs2WNmf
只是……458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKeI2j4Ej0
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5TCRfRsZg
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。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBCRhf83Ui
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rQl3WQErw
「晚安，茜小姐。」458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLKR7yGznu
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCK1eP8w2xQ
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！458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN87ObZkF2h
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFM0OZtXUF9
「不用叫我小姐啦！」458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24b1854Rsd
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY04UNbloMq
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。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdXyQZvxPe
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1J85dhFlKc
她，只是想姊姊陪在身邊而已。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4v076ksAX
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrjBG4DKXv
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。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMJuZ6IHBt
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEN66QvUuad
「那個，茜……有沒有看過雙生花？」458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw68ws4QKeU
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AKhyPO9uO
「雙生花？」458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqjN5LdBI3
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpn1lNP2BNE
「嗯，那是一蒂兩朵花的植物，看來就是很親密的樣子——」458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwi75jbcsDV
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYIcBPAfY3
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！458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5wauS9uia
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFML5dOd5Fm
「那麼在哪兒啊？」458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oRmqeWeA6
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWN8ukI8OE6
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。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFeShoAiB2
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSBNCyBxqX
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。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4luqJo6dv
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwbFUswO70
不過，一切只是傳說，現在已經無從考證。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPcuyytone
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8col96vfa
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。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhshsDnspF
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWW1GFsd1b9
幾乎每天到來的，她可從沒見到有什麼雙生花啊！458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtS0aKXomPH
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayQ4kqMUC2
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。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Uf2aBBC3M
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoylltYDs3w
「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——」458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LNC7dneI7
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXaLgSvzh9H
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。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmujUfu7qr
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjqWLe9qNp
然而，是什麼地方出錯了呢？458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNteYaL5Q1
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwQAv20TZC
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？458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzKxzP52Yv
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0OMH4ThlD
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。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiIclhPPI8
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXUKxtA7SG
茜的腦袋中只想著——那個男人是吸血鬼！458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GW9ajbOhz
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGmt2xepv9
會被殺！會被殺！458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxf2riqL2yc
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GGdLeqPYF
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。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Verdl29ox
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTtiFagj6U
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。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDhL1D9LeL
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5fwPP6X5x
只是蕾只說：「他是好人。」458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6m4iDXv0yA
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0QANx2rTl
為什麼？姊姊已不信自己了嗎？458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQf5FbYGQXd
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLTIDjWXXs
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。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL97mPvzc33
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbZs5sOMOC
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。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1OxOa6un9
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRefR2mw6K
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。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQI1BKeX4W
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjbVh3mdvU
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！458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvRlqJTnEn
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXKKVK1NzV
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。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJopzFAnl9
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRp0Buc6eF
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。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXc2jG9vzuy
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCiknlOTAj
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。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttjISsg7KI
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5f0Jeg3Jjp
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。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYv3W6jXbmM
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8JzoDMLBK
那時是白天，大家都睡著。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYt9a6dEg4W
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgodZ5dkUKY
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……458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVppLymoD6V
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfTzCWvm5U
一個又一個地被殺害、燒死。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldueHWKJZ0
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBEZ8GdKVE
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。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlq7NzBHQd
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwukavF9FW
「姊姊！姊姊！」458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5IbiQnZfo
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGE7oT37ch
去了哪兒啊？458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlA0f8P58Kr
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi46wuMvWau
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。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdUVKIGINg
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgq19k2ajm
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。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEugkOdyMWD
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvL2VV0upO
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。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfd2RYNpKf
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrCxLmemX4
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？458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJ6sepUMr6
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyQt1jNu9L
沒有，他救了她們兩姊妹，更照顧她們日常生活。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw81qdPgIwK

至此她才終於明白，自己做了不能原諒，也沒法去補救的事。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCB30i6vEK
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMi1gqkkzrF
接著，茜背起蕾逃出城堡。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbn1MPE8Ur0
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQhjC49w0z
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。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicI928FwNf
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaGZ01ijdF
而在那時開始，蕾也成為了吸血鬼，只能活於黑暗中。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkfijkUI0M
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGihDTo8PxU
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDFXT2InLx
「茜！你又發呆了啊！」458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoLEOrmTQb
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmDF0t019m
「那個、我今天也帶來了禮物！」458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27hBYb6iG8
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujAw9p9Rll
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。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MW6em3v22
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tatAdKS4m
「這是什麼？」458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0o51HvJX4Q
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KmJu7Ac7H
「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。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoX5PXuaepV
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRDalNeEiW
一直待到早上，茜才和蕾告別離開。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxn602lPLh
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zObxqrbzM
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？458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqJH2RrBVB
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnoeri2cNJ
即使是短短的瞬間，茜也覺得很難過。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDh1XQs7TJ
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnpimrw8j4
靠有接近永遠的心情，會是怎麼樣子呢？458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0ruOXsr07
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrzFnZWwpn
想起蕾，茜只覺得很痛苦。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGjynhPYiG
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjgbVAUTP7
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。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLcEogxARH
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1xN7zrwjF
不會是想起什麼吧？458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88IGapvnec
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgJhVPUpak
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——458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2x9PnFXAh
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16KvI2soIR
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBi2InPTjp
花，開了。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnjEmqdWGx
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9i3YKO4MxP
短短的瞬間綻開，也在下一秒就枯死。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCkKciiEa7
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4AHu0PMeO
「姊姊，很漂亮吧？」458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudwGa8GXrT
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtftBFzx5XR
「……」458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdy1bDMUIl
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUp1UAOXKzM
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。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrPMIqOECv
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSZSYB2GHk
「茜……」458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFO5Djow8Lu
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjzf0dXHVK
「呀、是？」458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgE40wbrdt
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKm9mdK3g0m
「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。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAZU5edyKD
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6VuoVBB8d
蕾是吸血鬼！根本不能照到陽光啊！458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapOps68Tw1
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡembK8C8iV7
「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。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEFjPdSzaB
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqc0wZZnVBp
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。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Zx7xpvYQu
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0UdCZgHjB
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。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIdvBWIhZN
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbF0eSRNII
那男人……不，「姊夫」一開始時，根本沒有想要將蕾變成吸血鬼。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4uPMOqdOJ
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizP3quo3Hm
（一切都是我自以為是的妄想與妒嫉。）458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0NAv62Tdf
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRodiECOJuw
沒有愛，何生恨？458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vyncAV8kv
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDtLJ6Gzi3
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。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8wZY8oWXx
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOAlhc1PRX
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。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2JwMKZcIT
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIQBPtYWyT
「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。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48SlekhRhS
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCivQLEEf8A
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。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7lqITfEen
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6o2F6LG7m
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。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjI1NvDjnm
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJl4shrWCJ
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。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPfXBHZRxs
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjof1jGcj2
好不容易才走到閣樓，窗戶卻被木板釘死。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBjgz36Uev
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpEYvA5APH
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。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGP0IRXMCZ
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAQzIYZji8
「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。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHH2PgW03z
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOukBctsJxd
「姊姊……」458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntFOjBB5iX
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrjB9Tw3Ss
「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。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7bYdGOfPj
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NooJYMvur
叮鈴……458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaVcZ4dkRv
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0RgvoP8Go
果然蕾剛才拿的就是這個，所有事她都記起來了吧？458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBKCR38Gzc
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDFiomJrUb
茜佇足在原地，一句話也說不出來。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfh7fOiIJTB
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuV2rKHyJC
「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？458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9l4ejYOAWV
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfoMQgfr9jt
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。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHlhTa7SyF
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wOo7uavzr
是被光線迷惑嗎？蕾見到了，見到了如空氣般透明的他。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGt0DGod5s0
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSkiupcG9x
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。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9QpjXF6gr
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrF8grWu0Yr
「不要啊！姊姊！」茜悲傷的尖叫，令蕾稍微回頭。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlwIBebTFw
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLMze4RUdE
可惜太遲了。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWQ1WPCWU1
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKhBmSHobQ
蕾對茜露出一抹溫暖的微笑後，就縱身到窗外。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOjh4b4A8b
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQalZxtFXEh
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。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2Nw1HpYqv
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6BU4oLikg
「太好了，我們終於——」蕾無法說畢的話，化作輕煙。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWb5Yn5gFW
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIOxw0nleS
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。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDLTMAUvKW
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuNx3ePEnh
「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。
