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。640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASGJZ1anRj
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rXQP6MBtO
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。640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceCbzGljGV
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyczRX96hi
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。640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeU2csKiI65
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwgujCecRx
不，不對。640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pqyq8g6pm
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtBs4U2YY8
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」？640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEeb2Y4XdlM
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5O3r6EwZ7
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。640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrwNIvhmSP
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwcVZjPiBY
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。640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHycua21271
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvzfZHk17z
說美女是稱不上，但總算是可人兒。640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZxfpdHoXn
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGdCYo7KK0
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。640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OtTmP4whF
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF13bR3iY3C
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。640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uyhWBzKB0
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJbvkM1xAR
「茜，你終於來了啊……」640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3J9xRmm6b
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3XqSD5cmd
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。640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2l6eJrDmeL
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWEusN2Vme
「姊姊，睡飽了？」茜輕輕地呼喚對方，也就是自己的姊姊——蕾。640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnu6CkYJrs
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9alvq1035t
「唔、好像……是吧……我已不太記得了。」640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cDlBmlHfC
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsSk1agfUb
「姊姊……」640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWw0pwVz9g
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1swIAWVWIr
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。640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEiUZeRX6a
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyXDg0Jo5E
不！她才不要！即使姊姊已經不再是——640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodT95RTprB
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwp1HoyFX5Z
總之，她不可能把姊姊丟下！640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsRYUezpmi
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94CMEHqT0g
「茜在想什麼？別不說話，我會怕啦！這裡又一點光也沒有……」640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNctSIjQU5
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrNfqHMD8d
「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。640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNluAzNS4dM
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDnrTWfjtQ
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。640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OOc5P7peQ
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRAjyS7spT
（啊啊，在我老死後，姊姊要怎麼辦呢？） 640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdNTt9pddI
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUhgd7SStl
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。640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8o0fr7XAV6
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0THGlQrPa
對。蕾現在是吸血鬼，吸食鮮血的……怪物。640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xzNrTL6OJ
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡay9ubeLwQZ
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……640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTAI0kjiwR
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7d37MMNeK
（姊姊會忘了我吧？）640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx22HAM0zap
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9vilvD150
「茜幹什麼這麼望著我嘛？啊！我知道了！是茜也口乾吧！」640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmCX0nTkuK
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjevQNq8Vve
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。640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZzVM2VJNZ
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5gObWOXnq
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……640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtB60dHUZSM
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwv0u7NjV1
「呀、抱歉……這麼牽著手太累了！不如我直接入來，好嗎？」640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv52rdpNx0I
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhzrtxC0QZ
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。640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfwY9ayPHR
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMlvmRNslJ
「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。640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVl35zQH80
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2Ylvks6V3
（蕾記起當時的狀況嗎？她會不會恨我？）640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNV3UfzoS8
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCPkiTyryP
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx61x5tMs1Q
她們的父母早在戰火中離世，二人一直、一直都在一起。640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wq4ncnYGH
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17vVf5jceP
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。640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0dFtykLL9
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vCfa11JoL
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。640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmRI0KBUHw
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hTr60EeWJ
「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。640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQebgGFinQ0
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLmCId1y6s
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。640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ362Rw9F42D
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJrHYSwiaW
直至某天……640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYu1ixYnUFE
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjEphUB7OB
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。640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8PrAhh38J
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgo2hpenxn
只要二人一起，去哪裡也沒關係！640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhqkNayjQi
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWl9QSmViYn
沒多久，她們就被趕出了城鎮，來到了森林。640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZK1YPlyNB
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7g99o3xcK
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。640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHee86Q36Q
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChpfXqEzwm
野獸在身邊徘徊，等待她們力盡之時。640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Upsqqs4XB
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRwdTXmeQi
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……640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRzYWRZ4Tv
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERyWpZy3ZH
半昏迷的茜，突然感到有液體流入口中。640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RRFZ7ON1s
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrNkydJksA
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。640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSIP1hot7p
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5u9F2PHlX
那些，是什麼來呢？640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RCS5jB6iI
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXPSZMJ7ZG
當時茜什麼也不知道。640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7EurXNQ8d
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeghu81zZLE
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。640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRJSb89yDH
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVvxOue2Tp
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？640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoHBnCVMjV
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTo0kz9mvP
只是剛吃飽，她就覺很累很累，沒多久又沉沉地睡著了。640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xoh5nsNlD
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGMSCSbCyG
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm91GwvZV6H
「……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。640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RKPyF3ejo
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufrjZCAS4Y
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。640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNQdWAfSfV
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0NCS1dHJ8
「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。640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SqNkDkJDG
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LEFHKeUyW
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。640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJp8iLMnQr
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudprQGO7mS
蕾和他對視，神色間霎然溫和起來。640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIF0OsUCUA
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfwQU8p47J
「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。640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOPDAmceOA
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EECbV45Tq
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。640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5t0dwzgF6
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72g12JZjF0
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！640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBO9BFtv6Ki
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8l8JpC2SS
「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。」640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UtegRKj1f
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJDjrERaey
「哦。」640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIsVgn9fXy
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0zUI8H2Yc
待蕾大約地把事情交代後，她就和男子一起消失於門外。640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mANplh1ZI
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4WaGi2n1a
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……640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefrCvLt839
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uht7ypsae
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。640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHiUVEF5JuA
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSwPBG5TH3
很幸福吧？640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMS9LPgwGCj
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQUUV0PLwy
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。640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysNRDJwIEn
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErtXaiZE84
只是……640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAEoujX87O
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHN2mTy06D
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。640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNy3vXp7ve9
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQyyJbrJGV
「晚安，茜小姐。」640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzX8QsINVy
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VGwBKq2jh
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！640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIiV9qBmX1x
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZHIOVN3WG
「不用叫我小姐啦！」640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6VPzMOQyL
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwQp6UytLi
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。640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57YDdeKbN1
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTlnLFHyxq
她，只是想姊姊陪在身邊而已。640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5v8iHxvUY5
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5wkyXTJss
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。640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJO61zzKwBi
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwg8xQyC8pf
「那個，茜……有沒有看過雙生花？」640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQ8pZJxxHy
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL72gNKIsYw
「雙生花？」640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNMLkL2C2m
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDQ5uBO5Zt
「嗯，那是一蒂兩朵花的植物，看來就是很親密的樣子——」640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyb5geqZe4
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJs7lYeAir
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！640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwRfRMX8Ei
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqLKHNExhD
「那麼在哪兒啊？」640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mZtudsGw2
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5ctXK2VJC
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。640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlMIYVUbQe
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUca468Dfyj
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。640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKtiUEIvyS
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHwC93Y0gf
不過，一切只是傳說，現在已經無從考證。640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeROM7AMvp5
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08BXXl3ptV
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。640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsm0hCZttc
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhmGDfAdx5
幾乎每天到來的，她可從沒見到有什麼雙生花啊！640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwVuj1Ubj3
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyeW2yr3BXu
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。640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXRIS8EglT
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEapKMvdtW
「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——」640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2nVB0juv2
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDUD621fzw
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。640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUAfT9z3rD
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yhY6K95g1
然而，是什麼地方出錯了呢？640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeeQlqWktmA
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBr8PBwNgan
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？640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgNN1kiung
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZdnNqTOKZ
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。640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyIUJ8TXDw
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQ23uSWkrZ
茜的腦袋中只想著——那個男人是吸血鬼！640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1boDhkrv2W
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PHmt33pEm
會被殺！會被殺！640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYa7Vv3UMX
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nbgaQcFHX
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。640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7aI9Fyob0
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5grCBMzPKP
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。640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6sufTpXVj
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8afflI8LWc
只是蕾只說：「他是好人。」640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWaQPLNVDk
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HBWGY1WFr
為什麼？姊姊已不信自己了嗎？640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvBLvsXRCq
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QAClbtkzY
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。640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqRzpyniO5
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSDqT2j0TX
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。640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdbkI9td5Y
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjE2DpA7Yvz
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。640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzZ70VAzsS
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvGpLyK8lq
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！640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpYMliHw6g
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIGueOurxN
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。640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdmFDXXIdl
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqnzYhmncv
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。640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4LN6MxBf3
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERaSxjf40L
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。640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOz8QCOgf9h
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVqGEGsYyE
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。640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSixtsx6ahd
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GSjgSSUpL
那時是白天，大家都睡著。640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBLrfmmUcs
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8iUB8Nz2H
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……640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpN3oxSsIT
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldChD8zXV4
一個又一個地被殺害、燒死。640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6t9kzZ8hAS
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZQyg6sRRp
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。640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacCk4Bodjy
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcf2FnOwmQt
「姊姊！姊姊！」640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywzvKwUXto
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX49lRQ94gw
去了哪兒啊？640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdRGNb4hL2
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXZNjuUtoI
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。640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiX5lcuA9qi
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQ9CE2GIVM
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。640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2c31Ri8S6
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZ8pxDFcmP
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。640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ56vEFjnlz
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgc48D4pyF
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？640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJgQQIwnKj
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5eM8QMRTd7
沒有，他救了她們兩姊妹，更照顧她們日常生活。640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFxrv0jhJR
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9tXr4LQP4
至此她才終於明白，自己做了不能原諒，也沒法去補救的事。640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38HLtA5BJp
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbm4K8klkq
接著，茜背起蕾逃出城堡。640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6C8dpH8If
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPU0vwB2v3
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。640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlAH8sRGJs
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNh7INR7sDz
而在那時開始，蕾也成為了吸血鬼，只能活於黑暗中。640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡps99BcQjtg
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENM1P3y0b9
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEWw6QdY73
「茜！你又發呆了啊！」640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRhywTa4xQ
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWWDCHd29M
「那個、我今天也帶來了禮物！」640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2LXL7LwlJ
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51C6G1wte3
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。640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRt53LVO3e
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjU9TBuP57
「這是什麼？」640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCA4pDklwKS
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6AaIoQ89zB
「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。640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UB9Tn5yF9
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xJa3WWqHs
一直待到早上，茜才和蕾告別離開。640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVu9H3xLkP
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHFvIqtEQf
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？640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmA1J7rU4VC
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGWotkGBDy
即使是短短的瞬間，茜也覺得很難過。640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh76z5n1JDz
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKY0PdvkcW
靠有接近永遠的心情，會是怎麼樣子呢？640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8uuDCd7Ki
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTxnEvh0Hr
想起蕾，茜只覺得很痛苦。640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QrJSWJ2pS
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSuEKoq8v1
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。640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9Pmx3cPC3
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AJEElEV74
不會是想起什麼吧？640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7hXIXzKzd
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffj5DKc9JH
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——640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwBsxmLAvB
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQO55fMeoNg
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkM1GmPZ4lZ
花，開了。640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFUgAbKS9V
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68OWbX4fLS
短短的瞬間綻開，也在下一秒就枯死。640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4U5xb0Iij
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FcC4FUun0
「姊姊，很漂亮吧？」640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYu9JZ4lMK
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMtfy7mEAk
「……」640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztlnvuS50B
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpA9fXbihQ8
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。640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFB13w2l2m
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbaEMbc2CX
「茜……」640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBIWGHq3Bf
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAAIPOiLb5
「呀、是？」640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUvtgD14RL
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlZSXRg56H
「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。640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnE3k0yDFs
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLw9ZhFOQ3
蕾是吸血鬼！根本不能照到陽光啊！640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVU2QqlyTB
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQWQvHtv7o
「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。640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxfEueXCRd
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzeV6658THX
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。640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtD75YOcNP
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPx5LUq5uvo
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。640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gVupCALyu
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYoTiAzfBA
那男人……不，「姊夫」一開始時，根本沒有想要將蕾變成吸血鬼。640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVqePPp8Bc
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNMVNISXlY
（一切都是我自以為是的妄想與妒嫉。）640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXQHcet391
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKKIETd5Hs
沒有愛，何生恨？640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbF0FHivAS
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RzkNIJNQ6
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。640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUEJ1TRhOK
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRitVoanOp0
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。640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTduNBb5Zf
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgaBB78YYI
「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。640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdgTJBt8LK
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ScsOD5vaC
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。640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdzywhlY7e
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTTlZrn2Ep
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。640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtAUFsmpqT
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NVhL7bPqY
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。640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6REcOlVk83
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLkdTWyjDw
好不容易才走到閣樓，窗戶卻被木板釘死。640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJ3Lwdz6gc
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnjP0Obh7j
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。640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZDkI8vPnW
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWQBuO0Cig
「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。640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcj6YOxjB5
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QZDKUEOhQ
「姊姊……」640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkft5ziaFx
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihbEaNWNm5
「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。640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9usOz7S62
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyEZisTkpp
叮鈴……640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3bcfEZWbk
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcH43eCdUjK
果然蕾剛才拿的就是這個，所有事她都記起來了吧？640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFMqUm24yX
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8XmyhCOc9
茜佇足在原地，一句話也說不出來。640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8wZrejS84
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhC439IDrq
「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？640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHIYQcgSCd
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CsHps2TSs
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。640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpg8GpVEr3
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGaEM1AoHOX
是被光線迷惑嗎？蕾見到了，見到了如空氣般透明的他。640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkO6t1lx6c
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAehC0XdD2X
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。640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMSoIXEzms
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOzNtFpi66
「不要啊！姊姊！」茜悲傷的尖叫，令蕾稍微回頭。640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMbviEM6gB
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdcouUcxKi
可惜太遲了。640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjMBMUJ4Du
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIz6y2hQOTA
蕾對茜露出一抹溫暖的微笑後，就縱身到窗外。640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wVQ4EeUe8
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapQHucaeZ0
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。640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzERWs5MPQI
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhM8I0QeIld
「太好了，我們終於——」蕾無法說畢的話，化作輕煙。640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWb7FOnjZL
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxUFTyj8Gs
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。640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9s1zCQ4OJ
640Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShmNIzbIRk
「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。
