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。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdCFstMLno
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBFgvz3y38
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。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWD5UfCg6LZ
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWc5gxNOrTL
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。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mbyZDRdLp
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZCx7zdDQg
不，不對。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm27rvYcerj
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtXeurZEYU
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」？531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3hyqVJlcv
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsB8lPC16G1
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。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtb30kXJs7b
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8z3ERVsMX
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。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGT04K7SrX
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3MtHP8N3z
說美女是稱不上，但總算是可人兒。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6X7r515IcV
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVIhT18RXi
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。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKhFhTzNJd
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKF5I5jGgvh
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。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTgXIfkRHM
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8E1FlCWpZC
「茜，你終於來了啊……」531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikSv5vRRoT
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zHYJrFOVx
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。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVfpAuK6lZ
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIQp4IXYv5
「姊姊，睡飽了？」茜輕輕地呼喚對方，也就是自己的姊姊——蕾。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNDMAklG58
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KVz8yxUbS
「唔、好像……是吧……我已不太記得了。」531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuFjOCt4kr
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdamdpi1go
「姊姊……」531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3x3DJ2G7R
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjiQSPHhcxa
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。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqXDXWswKY
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRVZ6WgdPx
不！她才不要！即使姊姊已經不再是——531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlY1rmRnOvU
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HEBZlDmUa
總之，她不可能把姊姊丟下！531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUe5qwqyn3
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsvwJ2PWUc
「茜在想什麼？別不說話，我會怕啦！這裡又一點光也沒有……」531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdJKYrYp7y
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Npr6U0kqV
「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。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6oTjUEW3s
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKzs4pCOUt
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。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRF06EyPucT
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSUydn6KAO
（啊啊，在我老死後，姊姊要怎麼辦呢？） 531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkq4Ba9FgS
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZG7Gg1VRXw
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。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcyCQm5WsL
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBTUJXmgd2
對。蕾現在是吸血鬼，吸食鮮血的……怪物。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzK9rOhAcL
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHjPYSYfhk
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……531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGfHjgwPVa
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgWqAjoSfk
（姊姊會忘了我吧？）531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHUJ9jjPII
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2bC3sghvc
「茜幹什麼這麼望著我嘛？啊！我知道了！是茜也口乾吧！」531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NXKM7s8Hm
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspBZUIjZnI
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。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGyyVwQ9xL
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYucW8DGhB
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……531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuAAZydUf3
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWH8H0S3AR
「呀、抱歉……這麼牽著手太累了！不如我直接入來，好嗎？」531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyhO3Gn8mg
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Ofu3jaYgU
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。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1puQjB6lKp
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdr9yDhGQk0
「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。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkF8nqGw4X
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPR6mCtimq
（蕾記起當時的狀況嗎？她會不會恨我？）531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2qUzmHN0P
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6QUM0pMPc
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpl7kswKMzu
她們的父母早在戰火中離世，二人一直、一直都在一起。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgcIeiGmf3
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZuUTDgIN0
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。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwffJ7JoGI
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2Y3wpgADZ
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。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyKkXGQ91v
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRUK9xhMhB
「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。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07WEhrDB5y
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EUouG6Xkt
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。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTMU7bSHIw
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhrvdpeU6b
直至某天……531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4oeOrkEbd
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qSgyN5c4i
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。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxh8Zcia2X
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjI3zAc7Hp
只要二人一起，去哪裡也沒關係！531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdmClhhbo7
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VGqGq3WrS
沒多久，她們就被趕出了城鎮，來到了森林。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMBGwIG4UP
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4v0aZz1wi0
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。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9VfkK6iyO
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12AMrWM2Gg
野獸在身邊徘徊，等待她們力盡之時。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgxN72vaOk
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSTfPUKTtT
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……531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpmJoqYgBw
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCLizy6dnW
半昏迷的茜，突然感到有液體流入口中。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MyyWKDavk
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTWHyJ3Dp4
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。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnh6a3EhvvI
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3j7dKWLF3
那些，是什麼來呢？531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLmlLrSim9
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZJm3mco3I
當時茜什麼也不知道。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfm4wR2v7TU
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQaE8r4UbJ
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。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49q6d2Pb5t
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28bhsuucPy
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？531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gvEeGYMA0
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKoxKhuKHzj
只是剛吃飽，她就覺很累很累，沒多久又沉沉地睡著了。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcAEfipPky
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiodvs2qLZe
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1L5VDwcqUY
「……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。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcUUrmoXme
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdP42betci
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。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXM7PCUpJuc
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmH0IhuY2Bh
「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。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKgVQoX8IM
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDB5uTrwd9
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。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV98wDIucf1
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWz6biucf1v
蕾和他對視，神色間霎然溫和起來。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpdzk2xiNC
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFK397e0uWa
「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。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwdonRHN1r
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKRa0tTxkC
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。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlktySKJY9l
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1LOc1z1u4
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！531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9EkKad7BX
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjclwyq8Tav
「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。」531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSg1kRmhJ3
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8tfWpBxO9
「哦。」531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnm6STHLq4
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACsTpW05Cv
待蕾大約地把事情交代後，她就和男子一起消失於門外。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxmNwUOxpx
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHdLVu6L8N
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……531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iKUCmxDzP
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVq7lJOJqWL
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。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44nHQF69aX
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBKXAAG65h
很幸福吧？531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tAJuXcOOk
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEl0ExHTr1Y
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。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1NsyhSvMj
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lhOq0kC2B
只是……531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNO0CSMP53
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvMZmZigBD
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。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8voqoqJTyN
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhRjtZJsWh
「晚安，茜小姐。」531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZ0fS4MWWc
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnETz57Pv0
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！531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4MfoM4Ldb
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKSf8RsLoA
「不用叫我小姐啦！」531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡny5aHfGfgo
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bUV32qhEP
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。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgJfjZUpCF
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRbwSq1efX
她，只是想姊姊陪在身邊而已。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbXMBMSENK
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlviAMNTvRY
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。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJXmZrnQL2
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9sNoRInQH
「那個，茜……有沒有看過雙生花？」531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNz6XJdx7p
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gRGEpokcv
「雙生花？」531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3VsVQC3Iv
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfWLIYGXRP
「嗯，那是一蒂兩朵花的植物，看來就是很親密的樣子——」531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6kj9u3DHO
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8oK3rozXKZ
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！531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWVjLgoi2E
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iym0DDCLK
「那麼在哪兒啊？」531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhV8VNiz1SK
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPkSAwCARO
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。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vx8O3QOiV
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJXyKwrgPB
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。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHVFNjGKL9
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwqlfM0s4T
不過，一切只是傳說，現在已經無從考證。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38NNZbmJ6U
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaS2udPp0Rp
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。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlf6tt3RjF
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHJkM6tL1E
幾乎每天到來的，她可從沒見到有什麼雙生花啊！531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2lRsAFoPB
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBmM4LHKTu
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。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnLD2o6NyC
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFYlRrAA3J
「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——」531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfmhbt9XfJ
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuagbIkl6J
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。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXdBb25CSB
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBFQSlXMiK
然而，是什麼地方出錯了呢？531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtviO3UlLGe
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2WzxqCnZG
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？531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ630I8lITn6
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPq1RbgUN5c
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。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PkHBZrfAw
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2LVC4zFtZ
茜的腦袋中只想著——那個男人是吸血鬼！531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUP9eKxeIy1
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnLWoUOTr7
會被殺！會被殺！531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZ3lPj4nQB
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDzaRzfMCa
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。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcYhuTuCuc
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡac7VptTPdh
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。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsy9IQxykb
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FSjDFBTbl
只是蕾只說：「他是好人。」531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIM9du3vSVl
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5QbgNhsmd
為什麼？姊姊已不信自己了嗎？531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeT2qzmmZd3
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlifoZhdYvE
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。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXr4Hh5qRb5
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkvYb6j8Lx
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。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5Fsa5QpZY
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvglfL9jBpQ
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。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjylOmQAP4D
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzdiXCh8cf
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！531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSy7S8ho5j
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IdJwJDOA6
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。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKNzvk01Gi
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajZBD4ieJL
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。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxFwbbVV5W
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVyJ8ZlZdh
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。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbvOL9uBn8
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LqRSn18K2
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。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYisq4rI4QW
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqG1MxgFtXr
那時是白天，大家都睡著。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqE5uXpb0s
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeRcjKXhOm
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……531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYImaHgE9UI
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5s519maW1
一個又一個地被殺害、燒死。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKn2wDDNtPY
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcP1ZijilUB
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。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARW317Lsji
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRapXl79Po7
「姊姊！姊姊！」531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsAOeQGBV3
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJH5GLU1u3I
去了哪兒啊？531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcS0MAE6gN
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLuQsoBNVp
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。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0y0rmK6zQf
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyS3h0wcLUQ
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。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyowuSK7Gxw
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hm3cD7Wnp
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。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquYoSkbofN
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmt2BjuYZtT
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？531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1w1p4dzw8o
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa270i1E64J
沒有，他救了她們兩姊妹，更照顧她們日常生活。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdJsN3519E
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UImhUgGYh
至此她才終於明白，自己做了不能原諒，也沒法去補救的事。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3RESBvE9T
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LDLPr1I8O
接著，茜背起蕾逃出城堡。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHVAiaJxQV
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQUREtbwfp
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。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEf9O2TqsGc
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUt38lIYUL
而在那時開始，蕾也成為了吸血鬼，只能活於黑暗中。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUIhSd14G8
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVMu82nzX9
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdb5ueu8C5
「茜！你又發呆了啊！」531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn60vlMjhln
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9pjqTcV4U
「那個、我今天也帶來了禮物！」531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vLG6AaCY2
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIRmiaKhsN
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。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJ93JwlMJM
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YNIVD224w
「這是什麼？」531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWPqjbwRu9
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCM3hmzcfpB
「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。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVorURbCYRc
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFD8FAcVbq
一直待到早上，茜才和蕾告別離開。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBrJYMcDmS
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI10FJDgMUv
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？531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzRbJfCGt3
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwAGpZH5L7
即使是短短的瞬間，茜也覺得很難過。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6p2WBxufF
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71hJKRB3Iz
靠有接近永遠的心情，會是怎麼樣子呢？531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3ox3lJwO5
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuAfCyjr3P
想起蕾，茜只覺得很痛苦。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvaIzLWhtK
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TrlOPoVQS
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。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdjAaUuHQF
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡammiDlDsXH
不會是想起什麼吧？531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnW462oXdXa
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tCzejioCI
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——531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3gziOPajn
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoii14t0iic
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPh1T05QnB
花，開了。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fUPxOF93J
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGdg7oTqJ9
短短的瞬間綻開，也在下一秒就枯死。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIyUOGPPzi
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFa2KkYwAIz
「姊姊，很漂亮吧？」531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzwLzp8iVg
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovhxC11XHQ
「……」531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUAHkYUtk0
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQuAhzYoGP
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。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9F1DdCqovN
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxdTfonvWY
「茜……」531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJz5ytxnd7
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzJ5mUQRkB
「呀、是？」531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgkmAEHZT0
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Gi8YjjgTF
「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。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfZ9CYkF9X
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OsTjrVO8j
蕾是吸血鬼！根本不能照到陽光啊！531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzbF0r2agF
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0juTAtrAQ
「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。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSf1NPC9W6
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyBZs416qi
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。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjKemOmRay
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3P4zLU1yVA
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。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtVKSf0jO7
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGimcOYLty7
那男人……不，「姊夫」一開始時，根本沒有想要將蕾變成吸血鬼。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUz2wuJZruP
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUj53y84OP8
（一切都是我自以為是的妄想與妒嫉。）531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWW4UrXwSg0
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnbpIE8Byp
沒有愛，何生恨？531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpVRgPWYKe
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfX0wA4bXF4
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。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOcq5mLnz6
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeWDeLJc53
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。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZImWJ6EEq2
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzbGAd1DMo
「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。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanHuNUK3fs
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotXsD1aeD6
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。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYgapXPEM5
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Pvzl1Yuo0
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。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9aYnG9oxyC
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMAn4cgTl9
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。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qp8dXW0gX
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6pcpjixW1
好不容易才走到閣樓，窗戶卻被木板釘死。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwEvWCt7nS
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7mcrFtYLo
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。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTW36YEZNt
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSPn9C0MBY
「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。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUhV4TGSXI
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6z3WOPAkd
「姊姊……」531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93wgu6RCHd
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOcVdiwR8F
「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。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmH8zrUx6zL
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyClo3Bu2zw
叮鈴……531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1D79I2INHQ
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkilDvP1KMA
果然蕾剛才拿的就是這個，所有事她都記起來了吧？531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlg9t7rzNFk
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiKC7uqWFt
茜佇足在原地，一句話也說不出來。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFKQI5ZbaV
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GLxFqlZZ5
「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？531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURHFbVNrHA
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpRVFHfLtT
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。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvRkmfPXvB
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ974P7Bpd4n
是被光線迷惑嗎？蕾見到了，見到了如空氣般透明的他。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOxps9HagF
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPU23UWOjp6
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。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVLTMCVVuI
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaMML3uJfF
「不要啊！姊姊！」茜悲傷的尖叫，令蕾稍微回頭。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBlFLnQrQm
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOXOasrfcZ
可惜太遲了。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb37QIbYor2
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Ip0kbFZu1
蕾對茜露出一抹溫暖的微笑後，就縱身到窗外。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBU4Hz7CWL
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiL4B3w96z
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。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoGQQYijO1
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXDpjrOx5H
「太好了，我們終於——」蕾無法說畢的話，化作輕煙。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjom24LUZwA
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSKFbBm9vL
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。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjtaX1LPjU
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SnListPEI
「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。
