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。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyH2VG303Di
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnGGmCHlfy
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。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVDXAqnK3o
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUU0XJZoFF
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。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXRTiB7BAI
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cdKuGMhmG
不，不對。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRali4voTYC
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe13Kk0a1HN
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」？497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbskAyInAc
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhS0pCabph
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。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoRuz56dnt
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡno9e8BUYH4
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。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdbU1piPDT
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRikJdeRbl
說美女是稱不上，但總算是可人兒。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJ63M5Z0tI
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQ7fYBb9Yl
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。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE46tP7kS6w
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkS5V8VmDs
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。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqRqBpP36R
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTbU3QX29H
「茜，你終於來了啊……」497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyha3ieIUv
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsov2J0vUC
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。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXBr9EMmMt
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4OvaK9bta
「姊姊，睡飽了？」茜輕輕地呼喚對方，也就是自己的姊姊——蕾。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBfJPAggOt
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCoqsltsk9
「唔、好像……是吧……我已不太記得了。」497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjOWiHavk0
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqi26O0UIoh
「姊姊……」497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi53adDQleE
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FylQRC9yH
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。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFg8qOJ6Ccw
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGM0JNEkuUF
不！她才不要！即使姊姊已經不再是——497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9crRzJLka0
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkm7pLsMcb
總之，她不可能把姊姊丟下！497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lDjnav8zI
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYg4XF2YzFA
「茜在想什麼？別不說話，我會怕啦！這裡又一點光也沒有……」497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2hG1RBbfw
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbrEPv1kGK
「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。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAvtoLhSCy
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyPRgU1xTa
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。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKiLYmKCTE
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjzfRLCWD0
（啊啊，在我老死後，姊姊要怎麼辦呢？） 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrm8xpXxYJj
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPiBSYAbcn
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。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyeQ4U1YNiw
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuOQNhv1qv
對。蕾現在是吸血鬼，吸食鮮血的……怪物。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gj6HOqY9w
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjY4IbK6Gs
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……497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPwcTfoNxZ
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkp4jp3att
（姊姊會忘了我吧？）497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHqvxiXqqb
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMYhhN9q7i
「茜幹什麼這麼望著我嘛？啊！我知道了！是茜也口乾吧！」497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOa4SOY48Cx
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVYDjRDT3q
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。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZG638tB8yg
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7C4uFXhJt4
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……497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGeuT1G851
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnL6xPER3Dd
「呀、抱歉……這麼牽著手太累了！不如我直接入來，好嗎？」497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHk7lE1vkWh
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2UqV8MphB
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。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYXZ1xHI43
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAewuHWoSFv
「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。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fkCMBBCJs
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBQjhe8APh
（蕾記起當時的狀況嗎？她會不會恨我？）497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcug2NNXiBv
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48X9zbnSKV
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDC2kebypd
她們的父母早在戰火中離世，二人一直、一直都在一起。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTB69KCLih6
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvXjB4tzHF
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。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gvOw1jORQ
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxR6Y5RvAg
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。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZxydbvTfA
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcHcehmU2m
「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。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTMGlX5c4q
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVonVrjgSIs
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。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqEqid9g9S
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaTFewDutF
直至某天……497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnh4Jz4b57O
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPjiXS5yiW
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。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLfITsa6rF
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDI5yZooGu3
只要二人一起，去哪裡也沒關係！497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwuDYtGVsx
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIW1hktj1q
沒多久，她們就被趕出了城鎮，來到了森林。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cm9mhV7yT
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3yJ7FYyT2
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。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlZZa8Nauf
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKPzyoixRB
野獸在身邊徘徊，等待她們力盡之時。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6y9SfrDvl
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT20bLuJSW7
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……497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo27yKWmurw
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBC1Fyp8oxW
半昏迷的茜，突然感到有液體流入口中。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9FSF7xSh4
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMWEpoQk58
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。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZwRX5aaRQ
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXnt286FtH
那些，是什麼來呢？497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9Cfr4RCan
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlXqbjTOiq
當時茜什麼也不知道。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7sCg566VD
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGRZn1PWdl
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。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TaUpwI2lL
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjkqtFwvGX
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？497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD438eg3WCW
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wKVdmvUfm
只是剛吃飽，她就覺很累很累，沒多久又沉沉地睡著了。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61cdjGbLho
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDllS3BS6ro
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaD5SNj26r
「……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。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjsABpKUCQ
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb65VuN83hv
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。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf903q2s5AJ
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1Vdq5tnC1
「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。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ91eS6GaLe
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyk3iKRcg6Z
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。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsN9ZjaAOqs
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXlsBkgFeE
蕾和他對視，神色間霎然溫和起來。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTe9tqOCdF
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAj5sdKbPj
「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。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTg9IhAxy2f
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfkPutz0VT
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。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhc8BjefBje
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXKyRa3QX2
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！497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2RW7J2Rcm
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqU5McVj03
「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。」497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qZv3JxHSd
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxXEWaGFwT
「哦。」497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrLYqnpq5Y
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiD1emMiiCJ
待蕾大約地把事情交代後，她就和男子一起消失於門外。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekcSG5r7Zg
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3g0TUGz92
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……497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5loDuL1YZf
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLJbAP4VBT
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。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01qzIxCvCG
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7uXBrLGhC
很幸福吧？497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbc6kRgddLk
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxVrIycyqe
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。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfzLoI6q7e
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCabXdsGYFv
只是……497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGNFNmRMUL
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCDjq0b3Dp
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。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkk7NRlgn7
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8u26TEQ93Q
「晚安，茜小姐。」497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOpkpoX1IN
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3wS8eH7EO
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！497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvBu6MAe2G
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMOAO8bmus
「不用叫我小姐啦！」497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yRt6QWC5d
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTDgpoZ8qf
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。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnP1gomJtF2
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgb65OK7Cbf
她，只是想姊姊陪在身邊而已。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL967pMje4S
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1ItryWQjr
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。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxN7HCIWlX
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZI1zdLxcY
「那個，茜……有沒有看過雙生花？」497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zDhBxTSER
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqm2hCdQrEl
「雙生花？」497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTC1i54Ypeg
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFRpm1D05F
「嗯，那是一蒂兩朵花的植物，看來就是很親密的樣子——」497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3m8imLyhwo
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfnaoJcGkb
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！497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKjfwGsHQb
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOIOVFb8if
「那麼在哪兒啊？」497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwLMoRMZrz
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5S8J07ddn
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。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nvGBwS5Ut
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevTC34u8U1
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。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7hb4swdGw
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ENdkE4vr4
不過，一切只是傳說，現在已經無從考證。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyGSzdCfrc
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZhZplLB7c
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。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3gl1SKIDQ
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvamM8XRuwo
幾乎每天到來的，她可從沒見到有什麼雙生花啊！497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyoBCBode3
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIwnz6kLza
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。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeiRqMfIKx
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cQGJPTros
「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——」497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3CUTarUep
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8pl394sOb
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。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMP7WhduIH
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzqnZDcUbl
然而，是什麼地方出錯了呢？497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdd6kjJGScu
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliAmRiEty5
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？497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd63gTWMgrl
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Z3jHGzJ1D
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。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzx7VVjSlp
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufveJDI8rI
茜的腦袋中只想著——那個男人是吸血鬼！497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYWMmQfV6B
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7sGFCuGz1f
會被殺！會被殺！497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTZpLcF4xL
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGea7arIop
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。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IKTvG3g6n
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XTY8xeSqC
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。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZWknLwy8Z
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdOkXwqlsC
只是蕾只說：「他是好人。」497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgM0bg3XK3e
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbc8Pla7VTP
為什麼？姊姊已不信自己了嗎？497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQ2le5dHTF
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9xpB9eR9n
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。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYwdWeueY4
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxTZiNbNSk
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。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbdSuS6wk6
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0zbSdWHtE
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。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbNQSd2xRE
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFQfGp2nrc
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！497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPbpL5Sfuc
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSvRNSJ4uA
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。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTTU8KMuqa
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXHsDj6QZO
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。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77U7ocgyNJ
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOs5QgzmFeW
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。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMG5jVmpFzp
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbZEp51jnS
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。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMQyV4BXNY
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVfaDGz1Mi
那時是白天，大家都睡著。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqURNReYdr
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJJ1Zy3yEw
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……497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1TS7Q3MM9
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeKCP6rbwN
一個又一個地被殺害、燒死。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhv6Ucc3Xp
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSHUEa0r00
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。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFStkJc31Y8
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6EXGZKuD8
「姊姊！姊姊！」497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcyc2MKO8q
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlkoviF9vU
去了哪兒啊？497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqKFR6q1qt
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqf1SUYn4JD
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。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54BCLYCRPj
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7UdLWnTfp
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。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SrfSxamEI
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTzL7KB1hG
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。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7r30alCzw
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYipYEZtCc
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？497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrj2M0evGQz
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPYl2Y4BZo
沒有，他救了她們兩姊妹，更照顧她們日常生活。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGoW4rHRI1L

至此她才終於明白，自己做了不能原諒，也沒法去補救的事。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxpg59vSFN
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJiGEwnvdR
接著，茜背起蕾逃出城堡。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1svcBCLFdn
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jUNtkyNL0
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。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRN6Nki27f
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLDB7KCltK
而在那時開始，蕾也成為了吸血鬼，只能活於黑暗中。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8onqi6SON1
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTQZsCVoDa
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDerox2uhS
「茜！你又發呆了啊！」497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVyNuYd4bs
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvR4EOjUBo3
「那個、我今天也帶來了禮物！」497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiu52fskrBT
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLHRFdXJSl
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。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmt04Uyrf2q
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uiyKLgi8q
「這是什麼？」497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwi9pg3kEl
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2IeJsxxyU
「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。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbTJZkj2Lx
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNC7RFtovl9
一直待到早上，茜才和蕾告別離開。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNn1Tn7jse8
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHj039ACdQ
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？497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rS6MNLju2
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7V0NDftbv
即使是短短的瞬間，茜也覺得很難過。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFs2oULeFdG
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjX7yUdvF02
靠有接近永遠的心情，會是怎麼樣子呢？497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7ryVs2KGq
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjz14K3ZHup
想起蕾，茜只覺得很痛苦。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFozK62COnS
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDV0fFPc186
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。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgCqsfGiAG
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKvqZj8RjM
不會是想起什麼吧？497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9b0Z8DifFw
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSjMTcGfSo
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——497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUI9J67xyqf
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKwKOfB66b
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSJCaXr05W
花，開了。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiutmh31ztE
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Uf2EAKdOn
短短的瞬間綻開，也在下一秒就枯死。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2gy8N8dGQ
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PLtxPmfjw
「姊姊，很漂亮吧？」497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lJhWMR04P
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5TRPmCPCs
「……」497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzmf9KdGkY
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbkGZOF0kv
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。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejXEfEbWnC
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynsjBVDReb
「茜……」497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqXi6hbrLy
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDKcF4AvA1
「呀、是？」497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgkYSVEtMr
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bh9kaJ13d
「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。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Mqks1vEwh
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiNth6nJMf
蕾是吸血鬼！根本不能照到陽光啊！497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRPzgRxa5p
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmeyZd4naEK
「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。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOsZ2CDNqZ
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppQ8f2UlLO
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。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssPSXDOfyT
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAn061UOkD
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。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM17NgpITQC
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz97sZZjOWs
那男人……不，「姊夫」一開始時，根本沒有想要將蕾變成吸血鬼。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qcGeMDuH4
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIS2PXoOq7
（一切都是我自以為是的妄想與妒嫉。）497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jMUaAiTLq
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡds9tG5Vsrt
沒有愛，何生恨？497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFLE76TJQb
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetPKX3HTiX
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。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOSWDI8mKh
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmiKEVsEQV
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。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHWw6boKKS
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4tSxTF4lp
「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。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjzyvkXkY7
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡck9ggTO5il
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。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQcXmBSXPY
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKwA6SB5Yq
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。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQWm70dnI6
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDuT39Ul2G
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。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSGvnReX4C
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGD9XitU8VA
好不容易才走到閣樓，窗戶卻被木板釘死。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknhtSMCHWT
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56UefYyhm0
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。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYfETVnwAY
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5q3MDlB9mL
「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。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwszoQhJA2Z
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5NCc6Ug1q
「姊姊……」497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XVgtbLWm0
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnR2pP7D2p
「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。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8nyheHkja
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXZRb8s5X6
叮鈴……497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7U0ZUGvJbN
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYog16ohA9J
果然蕾剛才拿的就是這個，所有事她都記起來了吧？497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKe76wIWazU
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvlXWt03K7
茜佇足在原地，一句話也說不出來。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzCNRPLZBf
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRROchaGUC
「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？497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqOwcCHiAV
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvab7c2E5RH
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。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHbwL17ILQ
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuztgCbm9h
是被光線迷惑嗎？蕾見到了，見到了如空氣般透明的他。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxArkaBNCLP
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOeJg0uZVs
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。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO21LPbU9nE
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9oFdPeJ1O
「不要啊！姊姊！」茜悲傷的尖叫，令蕾稍微回頭。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAH5ZmUtM5i
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlwqYcTqeW
可惜太遲了。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36tPdLbnh8
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡug4a1zXX3o
蕾對茜露出一抹溫暖的微笑後，就縱身到窗外。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbY7bhDzZl
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkEPPTi3yL
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。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PHFOaCmOv
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdKnEGPkhd
「太好了，我們終於——」蕾無法說畢的話，化作輕煙。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3JZx0jh6q
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡme56yWdPen
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。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWn8NG5AZD
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIECP690PM
「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。
