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。411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5e4EUTGb9
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4G2dnDXx7o
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。411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwZV5L9tE6
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQBVXuZVGV
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。411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwxK5IrxTe
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58mEyyQUnk
不，不對。411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEhZLFCjOs
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbQ1LCPLSo
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」？411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjz4zTftBV
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4hGfKXD5K
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。411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxkqDgeBBN
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FL69BDtC2
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。411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxkY3OZyfx
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpio4NimbkW
說美女是稱不上，但總算是可人兒。411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImPozYyH71
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBZYNmse5f
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。411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5zUGdvcHq
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBMw0n2kWj
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。411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlh8jlZVlm
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJx4I6kGPuq
「茜，你終於來了啊……」411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJQ63NCJwd
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgYUHXBZi1
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。411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kGhdKClIF
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSH3FuNIAjd
「姊姊，睡飽了？」茜輕輕地呼喚對方，也就是自己的姊姊——蕾。411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUlsElYrHG
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOy19nc8x9
「唔、好像……是吧……我已不太記得了。」411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cX1finhmq
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCI4I5rcXQ
「姊姊……」411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRR68tMvDmA
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQtnmYXQn0
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。411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknAJuLiWX3
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQuIMZRaDsX
不！她才不要！即使姊姊已經不再是——411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl82GWUDB0B
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR028jme55a
總之，她不可能把姊姊丟下！411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzz96YtTV69
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nlWNsEubU
「茜在想什麼？別不說話，我會怕啦！這裡又一點光也沒有……」411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgcsST18B6
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrrFMmyHVC
「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。411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHRbsMEd86
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJEfwvYrrx
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。411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWgJ2t3GPl
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAiamvm9hD
（啊啊，在我老死後，姊姊要怎麼辦呢？） 411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIz9dCRyhv7
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA89FWkbo78
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。411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9D7laaFSZh
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXb8jgePPz
對。蕾現在是吸血鬼，吸食鮮血的……怪物。411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42r0zHeDYk
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2ONiZIBBW
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……411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCdonTyktl
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjykLhHZaJ
（姊姊會忘了我吧？）411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEIwpOMjev
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EXnqYNSd6
「茜幹什麼這麼望著我嘛？啊！我知道了！是茜也口乾吧！」411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAiq8RGIh9
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSTx8AcFMS
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。411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGdyxf1SdI
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDTWew5cjk
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……411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCZ28AwYdp
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKVizJTUBd
「呀、抱歉……這麼牽著手太累了！不如我直接入來，好嗎？」411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghemDHhNA4
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKZ2CMLhXC
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。411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwdsHxVY2n
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXaotQ60If
「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。411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36AJHUQKaC
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssUstq3aOB
（蕾記起當時的狀況嗎？她會不會恨我？）411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEHFRSuShS
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2dGevmVUy
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6ToINXE9D
她們的父母早在戰火中離世，二人一直、一直都在一起。411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZoSjO6WbUU
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wU8MaONrs
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。411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngjnatGoer
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1kXBSvscH
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。411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNUiD0SCp2
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkAODBFsXH
「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。411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5fovtzqVP
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9usHHBtuG
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。411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGolRdjRpf0
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjfKWdKUVq
直至某天……411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3w972fYLu
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnOv7FHjyI
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。411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7U7JKSPnaB
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQyAk8jTuX
只要二人一起，去哪裡也沒關係！411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRqvHmjMji
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2n0RL9dIJ
沒多久，她們就被趕出了城鎮，來到了森林。411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGSnzLT6Ld
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRL6xT0qRV
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。411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7A7pIDigmw
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCWCNqvFOe
野獸在身邊徘徊，等待她們力盡之時。411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MFrJqiG35
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQ5SFPBBko
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……411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjINfJnqm4
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6yPrg4U4p
半昏迷的茜，突然感到有液體流入口中。411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXl5xTW2Ym
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGft6JzLEQW
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。411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOx9yXvujt
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubgFz2M3FL
那些，是什麼來呢？411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LVSTDFVCC
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQ8WmuagVH
當時茜什麼也不知道。411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQ3KsIevCM
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZRhIvNdwL
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。411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4EIb7IhNU
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTstrped0OU
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？411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiyXn74Slj
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZa9tA9dqF7
只是剛吃飽，她就覺很累很累，沒多久又沉沉地睡著了。411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqwzVur1Ig
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQ1FzGk11n
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bPbr0TNfn
「……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。411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sqMbyqjAG
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpP0ni5ZyN2
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。411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUmIyb26gI
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbl1uJzfyJd
「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。411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpr9XXaFbXh
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItJw3eG3Ew
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。411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XdoxbPzBY
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusjpONaxpM
蕾和他對視，神色間霎然溫和起來。411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Z8nH3l1k3
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNmn7tvqcB
「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。411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0e5kYAZC69
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcR4IwvRnRT
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。411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ah8wFfJgu
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDS5FbNWVd
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！411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pC8ekmKGN
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jhHwJS27I
「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。」411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfTRleUorH
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfvf7f02JU
「哦。」411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXkxttVO24
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxj5ZIxUaqI
待蕾大約地把事情交代後，她就和男子一起消失於門外。411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzrRaHWGZG
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjUJQUkW2x
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……411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6HLua31SJ
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjiRFDOIBt
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。411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1l7qD1IfnI
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkTwJdNDR8
很幸福吧？411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtM29p0ED4q
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡziT10uplrI
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。411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPm6NEWvUYh
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjeGTjOG0M
只是……411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOXWzchATL
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeN4LO6IMIm
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。411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGO6GxQxd3
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHfbDJLLfL
「晚安，茜小姐。」411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBb6q7X3nqM
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTMndMZP61
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！411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuXZVFwaaK
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85mWPkkNQ0
「不用叫我小姐啦！」411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgge2wW2Ce
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYq8uF5jLK
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。411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEOsCybrjB
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmgROE2WK7
她，只是想姊姊陪在身邊而已。411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMp8NTzm1V
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuEkPFL7xF
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。411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGMCprEpRM
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmPGcncnv4
「那個，茜……有沒有看過雙生花？」411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjom5ZItaM
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6x7oFYxjwG
「雙生花？」411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDJd5l2nYp
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡch6DEDHQ2n
「嗯，那是一蒂兩朵花的植物，看來就是很親密的樣子——」411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRktjJa1RN
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffrIB1MSFU
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！411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsNGVnZVlk
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjE3CZ4BBwH
「那麼在哪兒啊？」411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWElUXIxnal
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tNsUH4YUt
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。411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nHKvy2PoF
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBg3P7j5no
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。411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1w9BIFnbT
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXBJwvd0Ws
不過，一切只是傳說，現在已經無從考證。411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgGt4bYczC
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuaufsvqd8
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。411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBZJNUd9U5
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnAtXiO4vd
幾乎每天到來的，她可從沒見到有什麼雙生花啊！411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nGBZm5WYD
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNxWNl5DpV
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。411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0ykWQ7zFs
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbMhrT6oRq
「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——」411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTye3I5NBHf
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUzDxl3fCA
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。411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNplAciVTS
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjL8ksC9Ml
然而，是什麼地方出錯了呢？411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMR8MBmwYI
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBX08odYxb
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？411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbR8Yrf4C7
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnPvzdLoPk
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。411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVe51R7yRJJ
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUI0GyvLyt
茜的腦袋中只想著——那個男人是吸血鬼！411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xiU0BDG25
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDWg7vw5Wh
會被殺！會被殺！411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSWl890Kz8
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolQPU9Jp8R
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。411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSdDUbytrx
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZjLtsbaaA
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。411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGc6URmjDee
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxNwIVK23n
只是蕾只說：「他是好人。」411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvLDDtodjo
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJHh1HUj3Z
為什麼？姊姊已不信自己了嗎？411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRzdTfb1Mj
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyljZ7l1cl
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。411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zEkI21wix
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcyNv1TPsM
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。411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcFrTltEuA
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2yzh29R3g
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。411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQumEXwIrBY
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4CI4kkPuD
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！411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCiclc688E
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnPrfw7D1i
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。411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo01uCrEayO
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjNnvj1Ai4
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。411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcSWg1LgVh
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gacjKCOKZ
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。411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5JsE7bW6M
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxP8GWBxDB
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。411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJueN3bqaky
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJN90Syw4bp
那時是白天，大家都睡著。411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKjbhBXjR9
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiI8l42iQHJ
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……411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChSTs9uLEH
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcPVi3QbTU
一個又一個地被殺害、燒死。411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnOMoaWF2I
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6maYnOWjK9
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。411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFf44iNEM4
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEkXbjcGWh
「姊姊！姊姊！」411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhs6UzZQz89
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUayHuOZ3VF
去了哪兒啊？411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMPJ7UiRjR
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lTdFguTRv
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。411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29Vkzqka8Q
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3LoE00wwk
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。411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzjPEE5Lh4
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZHkG39yTt
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。411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBItw0Wgqe
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs38VYs8FVI
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？411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5knouFm2P
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkezPiCiZfH
沒有，他救了她們兩姊妹，更照顧她們日常生活。411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWa3OxLOvY
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hY5ACjH7B
至此她才終於明白，自己做了不能原諒，也沒法去補救的事。411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnZVTu34fA
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVJ3DmZsE6
接著，茜背起蕾逃出城堡。411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY37lxiIq2B
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSfPcpyT3A
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。411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94kyY7sqos
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsM3yuWtZxO
而在那時開始，蕾也成為了吸血鬼，只能活於黑暗中。411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1dlI8Jciy
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFfasQgHNV
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2RCCgMBOO
「茜！你又發呆了啊！」411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqngWazGf3
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOe4C7Gj57
「那個、我今天也帶來了禮物！」411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGv7diGk28n
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSv4aObBXx
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。411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1ooC3F1CQ
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyI1qA28NE
「這是什麼？」411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmecO3lLs47
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1e02D8sFku
「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。411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdDwJMvEPb
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUVZdp1l8M
一直待到早上，茜才和蕾告別離開。411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EfMt6ewvd
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLMxjvZWYs
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？411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfQl1AhGeM
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZkohmc002
即使是短短的瞬間，茜也覺得很難過。411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8viOI2ig9
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CjcCE7kfR
靠有接近永遠的心情，會是怎麼樣子呢？411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFuAPgRTUQt
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxDMjViT6x
想起蕾，茜只覺得很痛苦。411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAfndQfNmJ
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcHz38uBOr
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。411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7c63ybNKNY
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4p4U2RYVsL
不會是想起什麼吧？411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSS76Kc9gY
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCduOrHcDV4
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——411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6IRylj2r3
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSTR3uwdEW
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpscowTbFo
花，開了。411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBNKIxfUFT
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9odBjIXVod
短短的瞬間綻開，也在下一秒就枯死。411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsT6KOpAYX
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYOle4NgyD
「姊姊，很漂亮吧？」411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡroaLbj63rP
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FezTSiI1k
「……」411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHzmP3vm7W
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzHScRASr2
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。411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjObYXPrdy
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfnD3GfUuZ
「茜……」411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Jv98i7fEK
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWYOLdldJ7
「呀、是？」411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8K9rtWOYD
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOb8cF27gUa
「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。411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgn0Rwr0wV
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPk5174YqiM
蕾是吸血鬼！根本不能照到陽光啊！411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqrFtS7x6k
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFsZQQvVgh
「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。411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqOyO318Vh
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPe2is2AXK
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。411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyHeje8Yby
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9qf2Qnzzp
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。411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BRprG4GOO
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnvDVzA3wD
那男人……不，「姊夫」一開始時，根本沒有想要將蕾變成吸血鬼。411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46maXvUabL
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhnI4VhiEn
（一切都是我自以為是的妄想與妒嫉。）411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBb8h2UZcE
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27ahAkH1ch
沒有愛，何生恨？411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ApjNzjYOB
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcZl1TVATb
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。411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrckaySo9C
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4ciOgKI7g
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。411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrT4JKn761z
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHF400yO5cA
「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。411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGuiXq7KbL
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6PZKOAGoM
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。411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQLE7QXufM
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNth6RRDMg
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。411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxUXXFDEfI
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlNI4d3ODD
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。411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegWDAWCeyf
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabLeGdqnXx
好不容易才走到閣樓，窗戶卻被木板釘死。411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGpD4Wp9Vl
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYA2xLZ9sC
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。411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu296U3TYew
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3aZDsGyQjU
「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。411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKPBHHRS9Z
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuujZwFzen
「姊姊……」411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCLEPFECAf
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jRNlbTydS
「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。411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZOWhw6v7Y
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzvpwqWUM3
叮鈴……411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UxBUovvrd
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowMYMLwffh
果然蕾剛才拿的就是這個，所有事她都記起來了吧？411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGncNxyR93i
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlPgKdceUR
茜佇足在原地，一句話也說不出來。411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNRFwnqZB0
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkzeSBCUYn
「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？411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8Yj5gMOIO
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapMr3UiHKr
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。411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzwJoQofRn
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4N5otSKLm
是被光線迷惑嗎？蕾見到了，見到了如空氣般透明的他。411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2lpfxpiH1
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdJz2GVrII
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。411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnshezzbC7
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdN5jKTc0X
「不要啊！姊姊！」茜悲傷的尖叫，令蕾稍微回頭。411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTEms6ifDX
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSZxiHmIBM
可惜太遲了。411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3REXwUTHkW
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHiUrjVGeb
蕾對茜露出一抹溫暖的微笑後，就縱身到窗外。411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyiEHWw6JSW
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpvsZa87PM
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。411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAB8iXRJYra
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTk9fKLbGrN
「太好了，我們終於——」蕾無法說畢的話，化作輕煙。411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmPyhTiOSh
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDtCgzzq23
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。411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsP03NQ49e1
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDCFrW5MwO
「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。
