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。635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3GeK0sBSV
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fOb13GJ8b
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。635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcLIqc1W8C
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpibSYiVVyM
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。635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0oYGlQy5gA
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShHpfbxsvI
不，不對。635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lw1YfEhcd
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr69LCJsUb8
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」？635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBBcaShUDX
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pQuAMinWa
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。635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOzHcSqRWM
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZPgV4sxpn
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。635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzEGjlj6U7
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7Otd99hF9
說美女是稱不上，但總算是可人兒。635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbR0NCuBZl
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0Ii9U2Mzu
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。635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡraP0HHgVVz
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdM6FJAcLAr
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。635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKi0PGUsUze
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lLmho732e
「茜，你終於來了啊……」635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiV1B8I6gF7
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrU2aVjosf6
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。635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe36fzcnnYR
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSSNk6WZ1M
「姊姊，睡飽了？」茜輕輕地呼喚對方，也就是自己的姊姊——蕾。635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjuphUE2yY
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13V9wNT9Y1
「唔、好像……是吧……我已不太記得了。」635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLxzsPzF41
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYNmftzxSr
「姊姊……」635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1qJD1yqK7
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfOvu1V6Xn
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。635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkEz3xobmI
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuekO5ANhF5
不！她才不要！即使姊姊已經不再是——635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAKxojVbha
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrLUpRMnYo
總之，她不可能把姊姊丟下！635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnov8ApAfF
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZ1MniXtnu
「茜在想什麼？別不說話，我會怕啦！這裡又一點光也沒有……」635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnkoSBMUKC
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAxOZ496lN
「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。635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Gac0AnDyl
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPW5ZIGszB
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。635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLyUBGvM6h
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFVoqM68yc
（啊啊，在我老死後，姊姊要怎麼辦呢？） 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmTOsj9reL
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzV7qWXU2u
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。635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcrsjcdXmh
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCBZk7JbUm
對。蕾現在是吸血鬼，吸食鮮血的……怪物。635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpy6d8kJWJJ
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW35gxou3P7
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……635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7GrMStRT4
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVf5MjyPjE
（姊姊會忘了我吧？）635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCU9hUMzMW
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPc7WV6PVyc
「茜幹什麼這麼望著我嘛？啊！我知道了！是茜也口乾吧！」635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAmD3qYxU6
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAJ2zyKFsa
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。635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1STlt36Pex
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CHrgshnza
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……635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35FtBO9qxl
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsQ754F6eV
「呀、抱歉……這麼牽著手太累了！不如我直接入來，好嗎？」635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡioXEE6yGg1
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RdFJlhKpW
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。635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0B7a3o1BrV
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmyBJcsFTK
「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。635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagYbnS215l
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtp3Ochndwv
（蕾記起當時的狀況嗎？她會不會恨我？）635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXoVfJ07iQ
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprqvwdVPyu
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNLgeUKdt4
她們的父母早在戰火中離世，二人一直、一直都在一起。635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vbSh9w1xC
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2x5BLYrX3
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。635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhn25tdubq
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXRVr7c1T1
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。635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qztPeTfTF
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHah6ewI6k
「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。635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6WMplezNW
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOsbc9EtjH
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。635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzWkBTHBKt
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMac3XPzz6
直至某天……635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NZNJAdhj1
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡju8xTDTwy3
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。635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1pUFTdLdN
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuitvKicWXQ
只要二人一起，去哪裡也沒關係！635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyaKvJ5TBS
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57FkCiYF1Q
沒多久，她們就被趕出了城鎮，來到了森林。635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdpoxLnlpB
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiE8TzCOELb
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。635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsW1kxl2I2Y
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBAvxuqU66
野獸在身邊徘徊，等待她們力盡之時。635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFwoZc0mj4
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQWztMz1FT
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……635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJpNPW1I0g
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39nS5o9oJ0
半昏迷的茜，突然感到有液體流入口中。635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfH4k6EOa7
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfgdkjQL6p
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。635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaCgSN9SAs
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJ6ie9a0JI
那些，是什麼來呢？635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl74xOp7QIg
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNOlzjsZGB
當時茜什麼也不知道。635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7xuATv2XD
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZmf3s9H6m
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。635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUHD3LE0Nt
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UbmvI2mBN
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？635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKO3fw4kzj
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwkvIMRjSO
只是剛吃飽，她就覺很累很累，沒多久又沉沉地睡著了。635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4JU3I2bmW
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AXWtL5DjX
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy83jifYpC9
「……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。635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hyzLN4rbM
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzzVZnYrvu
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。635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjEALipmy3
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjRNy80wom
「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。635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkg21WAjZBx
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlW2vtWiDf
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。635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqrnNNNo5B
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouoERU44MU
蕾和他對視，神色間霎然溫和起來。635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoOp9WPSdL
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7Yo2qI8Jy
「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。635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwPh8kTuIC
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkjjfKOiOT
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。635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb886Xbzcqp
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1aiWeEKOH
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！635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2go5MEvkc
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPWSohOZuw
「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。」635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9vAJBCS4g
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPvvw1gsWK
「哦。」635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYk39mxLcK
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxwh9t9zZn
待蕾大約地把事情交代後，她就和男子一起消失於門外。635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡts6PB8057J
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHz1FqhwuQb
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……635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPizmTp6oT
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16G6JabBfr
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。635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TrGvP1CzB
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8VF93BHwx
很幸福吧？635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3X34RY3cJ
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNKGAYyTRn
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。635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKc4nzpxLIl
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxOTOW7xo3
只是……635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2IhKQm3MZ1
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6QeHCl0ed
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。635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZ1TwPzK3h
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyHbXVCb7L
「晚安，茜小姐。」635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnp7gpr8hx
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKln9p04hWD
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！635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdbTGrVinV
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNK1GZWjot
「不用叫我小姐啦！」635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuiZLSgfVrC
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPicEPxfdy
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。635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4nMbZgzyO
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2g8xdXcwG
她，只是想姊姊陪在身邊而已。635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNACvRkpWVN
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp34r1dac39
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。635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuGniYynp7
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1x0vTf3bSW
「那個，茜……有沒有看過雙生花？」635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnld6WqKaXk
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66CBg4KNxI
「雙生花？」635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSB2bI7zVnq
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjWQHqK6uR
「嗯，那是一蒂兩朵花的植物，看來就是很親密的樣子——」635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCVP7zaGFI
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9mmG7vh5Y
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！635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucTU0VkxpW
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEl4Ps0cUk
「那麼在哪兒啊？」635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHO2dPrVQ5l
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcf463Lg9L
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。635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7sIzv38wG
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSOk52Gfwq
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。635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6wYeH677o
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmK326BRdZn
不過，一切只是傳說，現在已經無從考證。635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40Axpdwy8T
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcf5VmLedA
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。635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7BbePYuiw
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdAtOoxYed
幾乎每天到來的，她可從沒見到有什麼雙生花啊！635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvl8qPNvZB
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1fKgFzUG6
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。635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9mZgHB12T
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jYaUdBoht
「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——」635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Bz6jXL6Lv
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxLyVluqdH
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。635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThdqqsRq9P
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlYHGePjcD
然而，是什麼地方出錯了呢？635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkAMRRrObq
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkL2pyTSZCf
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？635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9cV2U8xAo
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJAyiyn2Fe
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。635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjlAQgsZC6
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6sR8Kms3Gk
茜的腦袋中只想著——那個男人是吸血鬼！635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjgjXTsPgZ
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41V0OTHoFv
會被殺！會被殺！635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMP02h5aeUF
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgaCFCsPdqp
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。635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAj026OTyB
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjv6VN1aPe
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。635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Qz38VpPA0
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvb4pNwox4
只是蕾只說：「他是好人。」635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeANizjNQ60
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DUfOpIfYT
為什麼？姊姊已不信自己了嗎？635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NqlLNl6CF
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTsNlna80w
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。635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCHjTwWt70
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZStRnhqXg
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。635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KelFpwBnJ
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3u4ti382U8
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。635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpdKChLpjR
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTKKuHTbQR
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！635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnoQGdLeGw
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcTcgLEdXH
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。635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVmTo4CPGc
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKF5TlJkMYq
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。635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAzWQ9y6ig
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UO9TgiqrJ
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。635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9t6dPHkT4r
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMGHp4juRx
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。635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZ3c8hHYbq
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcXSdde8X3
那時是白天，大家都睡著。635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawOtEZuFbw
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsw9DIbexLb
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……635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5Sf102Yl3
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt69onAGAwJ
一個又一個地被殺害、燒死。635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlMW8afcAK
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWT1QtJOMsl
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。635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMOwe3E2H8
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXy0RFr2lS
「姊姊！姊姊！」635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMV032o8swy
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuo8EOPEALK
去了哪兒啊？635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ctLIYNTA0
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBvRg3J9h3
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。635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv83XaLB8Z2
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kRLNmSFV1
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。635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3LBTNiWJe
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQk7C7Q5x0
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。635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYXV9iNFdl
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgXXRPIFnN
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？635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaf9U7dU3UT
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalmG11YiKr
沒有，他救了她們兩姊妹，更照顧她們日常生活。635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxHmBDVFn0

至此她才終於明白，自己做了不能原諒，也沒法去補救的事。635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdD3uh5sMdn
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYnCUXfIys
接著，茜背起蕾逃出城堡。635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QCd3pHXLo
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCZQIPNF8Q
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。635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWv4cnwH7I
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGGbgWIpr1
而在那時開始，蕾也成為了吸血鬼，只能活於黑暗中。635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZO4EyFC0kJ
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdNaMAG0YK
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoG9gCXny4c
「茜！你又發呆了啊！」635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFymHAS8807
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8kTNufLe3
「那個、我今天也帶來了禮物！」635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXD42dpyUF
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabpaFRTSRA
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。635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufoudUYk3S
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMfXJPXcT0
「這是什麼？」635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWo3ohvRBR7
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXggUY8xBR
「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。635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyKIBPIDdl
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUl4ikTiphZ
一直待到早上，茜才和蕾告別離開。635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxbNKCNbBZ
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2DtxNbPTR
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？635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgy7W79E1Vr
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4ns4fORLU
即使是短短的瞬間，茜也覺得很難過。635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOCx0v4Qmf
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdgmKDP31Y
靠有接近永遠的心情，會是怎麼樣子呢？635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPwiqF2ZPR
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuBSzrjM4s
想起蕾，茜只覺得很痛苦。635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwfQ9Jou7p
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMy3qq8AKp
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。635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVx7Lr1ejOS
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04W8qA8cfd
不會是想起什麼吧？635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuL9mTfvCcd
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwt6hd509X
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——635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegHuAWi6vm
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZ3WUFLL6q
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xACIkwT9i
花，開了。635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWskyPeQx3
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOOEPqY7nE
短短的瞬間綻開，也在下一秒就枯死。635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuqFXWsETZ
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRmkcAKDQM
「姊姊，很漂亮吧？」635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6m6Zk8bPem
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOW1WXEceo
「……」635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOrUt7RWIn
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZYTH5uePD
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。635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5wbt3cIOA
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIjQaoKTDP
「茜……」635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZVgjLbLc4
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkw9ujebCA
「呀、是？」635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloIXiBzlS0
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSCBCFZwRA
「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。635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6RRkHcQ6w
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33chxIRX5y
蕾是吸血鬼！根本不能照到陽光啊！635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lqEcxX13l
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsWeHSveaN
「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。635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCVOPiDKJf
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHtoUYaFdv
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。635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TWVUOXC5K
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6n4O2qJ3d0
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。635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HbUDCi2VW
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNltRvWGGhp
那男人……不，「姊夫」一開始時，根本沒有想要將蕾變成吸血鬼。635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCRUSuLcvE
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI893sFt2rD
（一切都是我自以為是的妄想與妒嫉。）635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGscGr23bUz
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6eWW0uEay
沒有愛，何生恨？635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0ePqJXC5I
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjFIlmERAd
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。635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpjfTqiG9l
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3ccHqlgzk
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。635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6ALtWvGMx
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7XewI5VIJ
「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。635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFvmXMQolQ
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxarQM1si9
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。635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJNqvk2H8U
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMu3NNqTtd
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。635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ohsBFBD5K
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VgIFX1j4X
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。635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWekvZIKQrU
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WYT0NTWjv
好不容易才走到閣樓，窗戶卻被木板釘死。635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DwGNTc2Ch
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qSxnX3Zz1
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。635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvpOc3pi9y
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3xmps3Arx
「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。635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYS5SNQuJjs
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5ErBtOhWo
「姊姊……」635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxoYyDqpHg
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQUtDJ2Ds1
「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。635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiXhuN6u1H
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyG1UjqXjf
叮鈴……635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mGU85Gs7y
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsSRqrZa05
果然蕾剛才拿的就是這個，所有事她都記起來了吧？635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvxkLVJ1pp
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFIJyjDwZW
茜佇足在原地，一句話也說不出來。635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtTKGP8fCB
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzplyZqhVQ
「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？635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtQsCbbozP
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMpPbdyKRS
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。635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtg3YCK9JK
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bMe81m3Np
是被光線迷惑嗎？蕾見到了，見到了如空氣般透明的他。635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKdwpjTFS1
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzoYX7kMlR
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。635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRn4CAKwEx
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuXhl1ozeQ
「不要啊！姊姊！」茜悲傷的尖叫，令蕾稍微回頭。635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmc4VLjR6tD
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqPZvjKMst
可惜太遲了。635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwblSN6CBhe
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZJLgHSipS
蕾對茜露出一抹溫暖的微笑後，就縱身到窗外。635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjvwim80M0
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogaDpTtsRZ
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。635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPNarStMMy
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJt2MEUDx6g
「太好了，我們終於——」蕾無法說畢的話，化作輕煙。635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8h3Ztt6w3
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyi1AcVvkfA
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。635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxYeP2dizE
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjryD2IHy5Z
「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。
