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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHv37DoA58
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcRBfApop7
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLzSbWpAGJ
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSYHsVuZ4O
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RPCqqN7Fn
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVVlBCbFCO
不，不對。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlhdqlWgXv
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjA88VQggU
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」？493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RpgKaP6Bw
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dSr8ouIvh
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFefcwC47m
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAR4ZwvNsHX
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡph6fLbXrif
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEdbdi7es6
說美女是稱不上，但總算是可人兒。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlbaodeS8A
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYmh4I255C
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVL1MdMHoW
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAgpJAztv5
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUeAHOVw9n
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgG1mMe7iMT
「茜，你終於來了啊……」493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxBKcR6IX8
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfSKdPBGTy
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3gDJ3A2SL
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fk6AlS1WA
「姊姊，睡飽了？」茜輕輕地呼喚對方，也就是自己的姊姊——蕾。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDZTwP8xNi
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA75t3MT9tK
「唔、好像……是吧……我已不太記得了。」493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQ5hde29gt
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXdyYiSGMc
「姊姊……」493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHD3FSfp2KX
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4UBOXjetL
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrEIcR49Jn
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqQQplS3Dm
不！她才不要！即使姊姊已經不再是——493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwQ5pXmMek
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhix8toZc1c
總之，她不可能把姊姊丟下！493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTaeGErpKc
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXp5lYaSx9
「茜在想什麼？別不說話，我會怕啦！這裡又一點光也沒有……」493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDtaw8TXD9
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIAkZKWqhD
「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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6J75aeo3C
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZUUsbJG3M
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPR5iPQmwn
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7lzGhN32Z
（啊啊，在我老死後，姊姊要怎麼辦呢？） 493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGCne8CkwN
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvfhBaGkMX
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10zXByOvQA
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLG8MZ4Sg1
對。蕾現在是吸血鬼，吸食鮮血的……怪物。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWpFVyBKg8
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPy2pYSp10Q
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……493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfbjmSN62w
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBqovEQu6c
（姊姊會忘了我吧？）493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqGXeZIDIK
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgIOf9nuFQ
「茜幹什麼這麼望著我嘛？啊！我知道了！是茜也口乾吧！」493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBHrrgUtvI
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWkhOXnOVI
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiObaABE9F
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwqZsdJwOK
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……493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6Z4895fvU
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGfz9djqcD
「呀、抱歉……這麼牽著手太累了！不如我直接入來，好嗎？」493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQl7BYkbaf
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJDHP5kUox
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPH1hPHqa4n
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCb40oqOcXc
「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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrnnNbCJ2m
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lqIxWKqDx
（蕾記起當時的狀況嗎？她會不會恨我？）493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pKVPmdXak
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmVxEgacHa
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDjti18Dum
她們的父母早在戰火中離世，二人一直、一直都在一起。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbuOQxuiJC
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJSr8unasO
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnxRqF7cG3
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtbZGxSNKc
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb84VYZ9VMU
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtWANGnoIC
「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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqamnDuYfN0
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dd6BaMXcJ
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsXHaDPlfE
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnG83bqjsHC
直至某天……493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV05d1FA6eK
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFU2srkbZk
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2QWJbD64H
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4j1BI8g9AP
只要二人一起，去哪裡也沒關係！493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTsGxmZFpS
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvu85nzJVB
沒多久，她們就被趕出了城鎮，來到了森林。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4rUvZedcN
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTcU9YXhvK
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlr7trFzYP2
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqQIVUQkNf
野獸在身邊徘徊，等待她們力盡之時。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwI1jFZ99B5
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98HtWWmWbu
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……493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwv4gXRpN9
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaN8FggwqsA
半昏迷的茜，突然感到有液體流入口中。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIu5yz87t8R
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGCYY35KGj
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkllwvDeqT
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMeR1Dy0YX
那些，是什麼來呢？493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXTR8DKYFx
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2aDcCvbfH
當時茜什麼也不知道。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GnzKKLVOj
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLUfzuvihe
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwC43bWk2hR
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiiDlCNLkpb
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？493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8xlxfVAdY
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyQZX2PdKD
只是剛吃飽，她就覺很累很累，沒多久又沉沉地睡著了。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbicStdf52j
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdexcusVlv9
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxymVsjwpI
「……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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQVaF70DbU
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdE7IFrx8DU
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJApRAc9FxY
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5apsAm5S4
「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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPn4Wjj8We
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSH8LoLKCjk
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJXsLiQaVa
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sQ9KZwcFT
蕾和他對視，神色間霎然溫和起來。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Z5m2DmVWw
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyx3oyg3naW
「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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQc4p4fvox
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLeQZhyVgK
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3eJ98JYW3
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxqHQbVORU
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！493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQKD4SBSTY
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJI5H3MQNqx
「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。」493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnacHFaHaq
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhszc98jMo8
「哦。」493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIXBTsFOGD
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsDa6eap4R
待蕾大約地把事情交代後，她就和男子一起消失於門外。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrhLxPWoVQ
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SCmjPirW0
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……493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4v2CEhN8S
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrdxnwexTI
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU74Gg9Pdnn
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nNQPE4zV7
很幸福吧？493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0MeuNiSjq
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAB5hw8y9Ba
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3e0DUlRaT7
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TcBSQoIwP
只是……493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75dsTzf4Nb
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNx5ZK9IwcX
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwD3BjkwItH
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PLFpuZjvN
「晚安，茜小姐。」493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzYWBsgS7K
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrR7g90zQkU
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！493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy15ops7F4s
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByY6BSKM9P
「不用叫我小姐啦！」493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9n6LDorSJ
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAbXRLussS
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvukr5m8JC
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfblueIwKi0
她，只是想姊姊陪在身邊而已。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcRNojeDiQ
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5IaeGh0gI
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6fmzCAyfE
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYzHuzZska
「那個，茜……有沒有看過雙生花？」493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBShurbB2Ts
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDTA76td4w
「雙生花？」493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoBKWiHqD8
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjwnVrIypn
「嗯，那是一蒂兩朵花的植物，看來就是很親密的樣子——」493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOeSv7RLKe
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYfZpFUWIE
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！493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrJGO6BpJe
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lsjTIDKnT
「那麼在哪兒啊？」493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDr8iZBFwDv
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUURQ1vVQxB
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbbGCphNtV
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1gSbD6WPP
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrh10llaEq8
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iPb8HQwpl
不過，一切只是傳說，現在已經無從考證。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbDMwjSWKL
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZ5FugqVl3
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFlFUqcS5W
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZO1WU1a190
幾乎每天到來的，她可從沒見到有什麼雙生花啊！493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvHlNgquJs
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsdFVz2aa5
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyhT0dhJlp
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbbxSYlcLx
「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——」493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ELM2kUHay
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFF4TZ1UNc
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdBwGJsciT
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATuRSEfQ87
然而，是什麼地方出錯了呢？493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqyPTZIXTm
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZwRzYqN5X
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？493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvwuLQa2fE
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoj1Yw5p6ES
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYdDmCkRVL
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVAJy5uA13
茜的腦袋中只想著——那個男人是吸血鬼！493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6RRpHVmTr
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndoz4HSp0v
會被殺！會被殺！493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZKniNpnZz
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8ailYeUZm
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvdPJJk1ze
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7plGfbipEf
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIm1pHQ19ua
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKH46nfcy9g
只是蕾只說：「他是好人。」493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡid6cnjZd8o
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2Xu03yMWI
為什麼？姊姊已不信自己了嗎？493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsn50sGYCEN
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRK5Oq8nQN
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWPMPH7u1b
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAJ7XCTWLY
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6z5sQr25b
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18fIlj1oga
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJgTmcCG7A
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUmReuM5Xm
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！493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfbN5SiBG5
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkp8dcc6ZV
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtjVmtVvmf
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVj6WfF7zyI
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzHIj8bo3B
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XoDvIHQhT
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKNjfsg9Sq
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dlttdPcrZ
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFBFSQyLZQ
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIaWyZZtEen
那時是白天，大家都睡著。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFN2lNNFdL
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyK9V94WMi
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……493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWb7r9EhXD
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZIrZfzor0
一個又一個地被殺害、燒死。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IcRGVYwpy
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0d278cBE4
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC43AArnD87
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6jerPy8xk
「姊姊！姊姊！」493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdb786hpS5v
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8selTXms6M
去了哪兒啊？493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XWa7UnSo8
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNW6iN8MkA
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJlT7jDtVs
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpF4TySKbuJ
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9oGnqtsXI
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOYBwwX2X3
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgp2h73ZgkC
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnSqivbmSu
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？493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcfFVU0Nrq
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYxwYgxiGR
沒有，他救了她們兩姊妹，更照顧她們日常生活。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLChjokEvi
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjHObD9IzS
至此她才終於明白，自己做了不能原諒，也沒法去補救的事。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnWiKwXkhV
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yYvYdmLV4
接著，茜背起蕾逃出城堡。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Yh7C497Kl
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1m9sTudKva
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjHvD6n9BY
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRVzHBJ1tF
而在那時開始，蕾也成為了吸血鬼，只能活於黑暗中。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDX4WcmC64
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkc6buECXB0
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJfBuMXESv
「茜！你又發呆了啊！」493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwizBYGJxeF
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJa5p5oECi2
「那個、我今天也帶來了禮物！」493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47mFJ4ZPN3
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjgJqF5fnj
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVqWdVNVJg
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2Ex5N5fAD
「這是什麼？」493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgiWQse6c4I
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ttRpGansh
「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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJH3ZlubYS
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdX03Dpm6V
一直待到早上，茜才和蕾告別離開。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6llhXCDWxb
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXeVSIWC9D
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？493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDHjx5Ql5O
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfeQ5lGcD3
即使是短短的瞬間，茜也覺得很難過。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAtNEKB5pj
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQlok5hSgq
靠有接近永遠的心情，會是怎麼樣子呢？493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQF5U9cpYR
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHy196Vncg
想起蕾，茜只覺得很痛苦。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegl7ReRgO3
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ARGERJEcL
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXWHz8A28q
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqkt8q4xPM
不會是想起什麼吧？493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm23ppkVsvk
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5Y2QioBmm
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——493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCekK4nQiM
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItMEICDPL5
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlwWJw42kD
花，開了。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQuyR90Ixqk
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJG3CRYDxJ
短短的瞬間綻開，也在下一秒就枯死。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmAA8SEpjF
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLR3lWeJtGU
「姊姊，很漂亮吧？」493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbt9QvTJysh
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEatalL0kx
「……」493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnbHWdpgRL
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQ05Gvy7Ly
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYotH3NMHy
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMgNrYmLbm
「茜……」493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwHBVGoeK1
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xzBTYckxi
「呀、是？」493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOpLmqSUK8
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1oW1tzcU7
「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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7ajQMc3VZ
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLCht90l1H
蕾是吸血鬼！根本不能照到陽光啊！493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttv3slEBYU
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4w7ZA3ikJ
「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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEYTsCrXNC
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYk9Lu6Reg
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEo8vbtvgxa
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZIbai7Kvk
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvgwOeu2AD
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5D5y7fW0X
那男人……不，「姊夫」一開始時，根本沒有想要將蕾變成吸血鬼。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWQa9A79K5
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoHfayJbOY
（一切都是我自以為是的妄想與妒嫉。）493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPdzqLVTSK
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMaNEgasB9S
沒有愛，何生恨？493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjkklAA0RE
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtXCkqQj2O
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhg55Yhh1B
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZA6CLE8mi
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Eqa00NX5e
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLwWHBHHiK
「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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6SH9F4EZo
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJaD91Wsc1z
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamMCCM7xjF
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXEuKRV4OF
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmesH9bgct
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zLmNiyDoM
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSmwwQ1dDR
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqNXEddqJH
好不容易才走到閣樓，窗戶卻被木板釘死。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjJU0RmWQN
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40g2ygSy4J
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡff3aHyGSYY
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzgzz6BeMd
「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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4hJaqXdiV
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMw2UpDzOG
「姊姊……」493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOqF0lzXEo
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZjeEY73U6
「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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdTqEzbC42
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3raPUxnzI
叮鈴……493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AyWwsiwxK
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSP9I1bRjJ
果然蕾剛才拿的就是這個，所有事她都記起來了吧？493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5k0fRMmLPD
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CGHisjP6j
茜佇足在原地，一句話也說不出來。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGj9UJKGIWS
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZHk0Jwv3G
「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？493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLNIUJQaLe
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8QoBvZZUH
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0rgZTlYe0
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvYHI0HKU2
是被光線迷惑嗎？蕾見到了，見到了如空氣般透明的他。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYvLlRgAvP
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXfziKwjbj
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeJdE3naCd
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjiCrvH1Ba
「不要啊！姊姊！」茜悲傷的尖叫，令蕾稍微回頭。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXwZwQXQmW
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdzf1U55UH
可惜太遲了。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdAvneU4Wy
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7nXcyzNrc
蕾對茜露出一抹溫暖的微笑後，就縱身到窗外。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgLxpKRF4m
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnL8fjMqrf
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKS7ixcNqx
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxbKal7nVH
「太好了，我們終於——」蕾無法說畢的話，化作輕煙。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZdFph99lR
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75Z3pbBj3p
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。493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTisK7VbS8s
493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sM9vec47s
「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。
