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。513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YdlNsBBxn
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqcSNFswER
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。513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXTTc50ZY0
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4salHpdYGN
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。513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLIGIzsqE6
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzKbNo8a0u
不，不對。513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyza5leJHGU
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZxryUD2VW
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」？513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vKSUxBurh
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7v4NA7eVK0
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。513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFLLFEfMZ3
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHTfIFZXdm
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。513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHriOQAKOIb
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3G6kkMrHxa
說美女是稱不上，但總算是可人兒。513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGXcBdO2PE
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAVOWgKSEM
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。513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2IuUfC2Xsj
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRbC1tlVmK
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。513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYInobmiFB
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hHs5g0gYu
「茜，你終於來了啊……」513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJySQkP4Qh
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhsBPPEti0
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。513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XTeiPWGrr
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDXE1UAsRp
「姊姊，睡飽了？」茜輕輕地呼喚對方，也就是自己的姊姊——蕾。513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglmaVc8Xz5
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3sk3meHT7
「唔、好像……是吧……我已不太記得了。」513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bnwhRAbUt
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OPH00eGMv
「姊姊……」513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUrzlfjQ7b
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidCXKCvTX3
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。513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecLSznq4XL
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6F84S4D1Lu
不！她才不要！即使姊姊已經不再是——513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3pBILqzKs
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qIA7WHCpz
總之，她不可能把姊姊丟下！513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWLhyXj3rs
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4I9k39GP5
「茜在想什麼？別不說話，我會怕啦！這裡又一點光也沒有……」513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENL0EAmUBd
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPxUoPSgyU
「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。513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYs8oOYZhH
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbhzJvY8jT
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。513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡox9l0A4LBJ
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9CcexzeGt
（啊啊，在我老死後，姊姊要怎麼辦呢？） 513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDULIwmXx8
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAVCCNC2Lr
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。513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeqRWpVSw9
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExORf3KxzZ
對。蕾現在是吸血鬼，吸食鮮血的……怪物。513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeeGMIG2ESr
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnrcHstJIx
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……513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVRgFx9Rqi
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5yTM4Bmkj
（姊姊會忘了我吧？）513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYwB9KE7kr
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhX3ApPgC6h
「茜幹什麼這麼望著我嘛？啊！我知道了！是茜也口乾吧！」513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBVtkRN39v
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFupVzXIfG
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。513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQs5FvBBl5f
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfboqUVu2X
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……513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TWO8PGHlQ
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMC6BRoRni
「呀、抱歉……這麼牽著手太累了！不如我直接入來，好嗎？」513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bnDBGyh4i
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyqnXAm8J9
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。513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9ATC22uVW
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXkKIQYD7h
「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。513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYEfufAqR4
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkG9JhuGGPD
（蕾記起當時的狀況嗎？她會不會恨我？）513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoI5PX48sD
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OOxM5hGqo
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiN4Sbcq9j
她們的父母早在戰火中離世，二人一直、一直都在一起。513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVs7EU51aN
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Kl1m0IYaL
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。513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkuySPv2Brk
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGE1PempSk
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。513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanApW8voQn
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefXbuojOu1
「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。513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMa0kWXd4F
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YpMbJAx46
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。513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FcIkTIpB7
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4iZmW8L06n
直至某天……513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6c8Xqy3FOI
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHQPxvu7db
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。513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLOUeRuHa7
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnshwiRJiql
只要二人一起，去哪裡也沒關係！513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92Z4z01WWk
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1V1wqHji0
沒多久，她們就被趕出了城鎮，來到了森林。513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQUrAJCoim
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLXkBGTeLA
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。513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHHAMkRiyG
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmwxAFcndf
野獸在身邊徘徊，等待她們力盡之時。513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPfmvvb6ZX
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSNTtH1p9x
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……513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpvHMP46Jw
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0xv2h7ygQ
半昏迷的茜，突然感到有液體流入口中。513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr93mVQvFcg
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYDVN3LdYS
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。513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTGY4eZ6OK
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtH40OoqzE
那些，是什麼來呢？513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2cml3vTSv
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqG8INRmUoF
當時茜什麼也不知道。513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcN2GJcMjge
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2TM9DiSDh
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。513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPvWvAu7h4
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQP8LyIXId
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？513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBekqP3BnF3
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBP2l2N3xIh
只是剛吃飽，她就覺很累很累，沒多久又沉沉地睡著了。513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxavxZQgLL5
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRUeKoxJAA
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdj7P9iyGM
「……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。513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwd4K47EAMl
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0lSecbwjl
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。513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAH5dwLmps
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlu9lykgvdX
「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。513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLXiwd7ugK
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sinbPHKqY
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。513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWBneyPrKw
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fZzsbCFNt
蕾和他對視，神色間霎然溫和起來。513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPGyLsQ36m
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNx54vkQyp
「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。513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SrJZFx0ky
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVOBUtGOg9
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。513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfOHKNX6Tt
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZSw7jsf7P
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！513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUKt7jHk9r
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FNRXVCv1V
「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。」513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnC9lpVgjm
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZEIZrjGCB
「哦。」513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJ3HHaMGPY
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKo0FgUZ8Z
待蕾大約地把事情交代後，她就和男子一起消失於門外。513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8v9B3if3Et
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oF52oTqAO
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……513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKGgYVq2RA
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VMNBvYOt8
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。513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYhbXp5pRj
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgl9AzJLUDB
很幸福吧？513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuN6biLxJ6h
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdk9fyJKasz
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。513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6E0dBhdm0
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIHeOJXnul
只是……513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZYdCoYnGn
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8knllYmoMI
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。513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEayavRuJl1
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOzN51Itzw
「晚安，茜小姐。」513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zMpCopEZI
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgIz0Th0a1
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！513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRd8WV3kue
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTw4XKE087
「不用叫我小姐啦！」513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBd6ImzYdYU
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbapeEG0D42
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。513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHoUqYLx2oY
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7tdbYsLEH
她，只是想姊姊陪在身邊而已。513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd78KiQgOxI
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznHQXNEFuU
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。513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxMMSwaFCx
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡia0OE3AHDe
「那個，茜……有沒有看過雙生花？」513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXtanBfveg
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZRlGQeKL1
「雙生花？」513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiL5N2G3HTb
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vpTiILtLt
「嗯，那是一蒂兩朵花的植物，看來就是很親密的樣子——」513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWD77B4qqm
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn584dwUAkr
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！513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVpxN7D556
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdeMVYLT4q
「那麼在哪兒啊？」513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEyBRgsQkF
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgh72GkuCt
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。513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9Njvd0h4s
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZda2MhIZF
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。513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNje5z0SUl
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVNMSd8UfP
不過，一切只是傳說，現在已經無從考證。513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpx6NrHWEv2
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFZnFq7d7f
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。513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8XmMZYFN0
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu10Z2Das6V
幾乎每天到來的，她可從沒見到有什麼雙生花啊！513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3Zt0FgqQg
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1a9gNsJXI
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。513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0O5TA6h8D
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomkXodsOFd
「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——」513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaBvQtWcUE
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBkNIKsFcT
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。513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5pOvjtMEr
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4POqhrV52E
然而，是什麼地方出錯了呢？513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAc00P4lMT
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKg64p0XRww
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？513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPGzFk0utv
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOIIcFIEF2
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。513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasH52yF7xr
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbeHZCqnNe
茜的腦袋中只想著——那個男人是吸血鬼！513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsv2e6xT78
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWsfMqUfGj
會被殺！會被殺！513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfvBSXMdLn
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlE2kWAoXBD
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。513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZigkwHUkKB
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMSB2wBOEy
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。513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fJ3KH1VNw
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvlTAczoOD
只是蕾只說：「他是好人。」513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzF2jPKnvF
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWQgYm0heb
為什麼？姊姊已不信自己了嗎？513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdU0K55gZ7w
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡreXwqkSGcN
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。513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHt16vJY5w
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YeYYArm8f
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。513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwnVs92myY
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GLhkMGjvu
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。513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZNDLqjX1n
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYXXF2gf05
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！513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdgq09o0mf
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpLbmZGwWm
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。513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWo8VV551y
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfI9Q4M2grJ
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。513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3uCNR1SzJ
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCq5Wl8ZnW
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。513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZvIChYWTX
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuAaFK67nc
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。513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdS1TvOgDGn
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZ6eEE8CoZ
那時是白天，大家都睡著。513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9DsI4lOkn
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJkXSr0Dv2
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……513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw32CgU14u5
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBlPF7LxYY
一個又一個地被殺害、燒死。513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLmbg8rbGE
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkO6vrytkPk
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。513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OEqMiAtk8
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDh1Thja3M
「姊姊！姊姊！」513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvcvXf3MN8
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBAjWAZ2an
去了哪兒啊？513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58NFB8B7yv
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSweGTnpEo
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。513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdqTfEH95j
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxtjfZ9CNq
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。513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWd7im6vq8V
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcavAP7kM6
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。513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIgHTT6xVs
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSSpCsChZp
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？513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoL1iqNFPyY
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRym03TW80b
沒有，他救了她們兩姊妹，更照顧她們日常生活。513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI69psnHKpC
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSw37IBtriH
至此她才終於明白，自己做了不能原諒，也沒法去補救的事。513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwbcS23tmI
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMznSF1F4J
接著，茜背起蕾逃出城堡。513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvhVgDGe5a
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TB1QP2fGd
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。513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmviS1vxyt
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHxrLq0bUz
而在那時開始，蕾也成為了吸血鬼，只能活於黑暗中。513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJZFdgsBCV
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3cjUBES18
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3jG00kqW0
「茜！你又發呆了啊！」513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHg9DYubDy
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOZ3WSAJrE
「那個、我今天也帶來了禮物！」513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOYQcBaTVa
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1KVrguqVe
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。513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdAVet1ZcL
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMMoAeE8Zu
「這是什麼？」513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemQqhnY2yl
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ohccbmZXN
「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。513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWgpBt0qf7
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8H8fLDbky
一直待到早上，茜才和蕾告別離開。513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWivGqbWYfz
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEiKNRe35K
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？513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuBHFLwIDu
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4Ti2BAX3R
即使是短短的瞬間，茜也覺得很難過。513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR91N7Ae35Q
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwU1nxJZ5RZ
靠有接近永遠的心情，會是怎麼樣子呢？513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOKySlXGS9
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8RxQG57Ho
想起蕾，茜只覺得很痛苦。513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJoXi8NTLI
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPDNtfFuEN
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。513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72t8j8BIqY
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Gzud0nrtm
不會是想起什麼吧？513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBknAKxkngy
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhaUcyC6Wl
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——513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkait90tPs
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSx1zhtlLdw
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRG44hpBhsr
花，開了。513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsinsOMW1M
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSFhDRtbxl
短短的瞬間綻開，也在下一秒就枯死。513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjW035pga7
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOwJH4kig6
「姊姊，很漂亮吧？」513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXaifzzodPC
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwWrsu4Rou
「……」513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPpN49bxds
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1IJLUA6Nx
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。513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3ECb49bub
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLizzgbZeI
「茜……」513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0nOH3lPjr
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9x4z1C70Wy
「呀、是？」513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZ6jpvgC2c
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDnunXFvVr
「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。513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmlZ8qxdXd
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Kq2uuMCRX
蕾是吸血鬼！根本不能照到陽光啊！513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjEtLBPQmY
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLeeh6qloYS
「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。513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEDU13hUZP
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cBmz51PVx
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。513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06jvd5XdhH
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0VGPjK1hS
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。513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0udwZ4x9d9
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbaDMajmG8y
那男人……不，「姊夫」一開始時，根本沒有想要將蕾變成吸血鬼。513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBLA0sJaRe
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXem4bOnBF
（一切都是我自以為是的妄想與妒嫉。）513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElFDXdGqw4
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0twLjoOwB
沒有愛，何生恨？513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskimNzk7nJ
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyPGzjm0W7
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。513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAF8g5Sv2td
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqu0N7qvBwb
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。513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWtYHVFLEz
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvN6y3K42v
「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。513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1XMGlTCU3
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3ZkWTIQEW
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。513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMYk1JlhQP
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zfPu8cTHG
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。513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2eWiYbJ4OO
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEvI3SzIMz
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。513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1xxHcv0tR
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ593D2WKmyN
好不容易才走到閣樓，窗戶卻被木板釘死。513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLrk3zseom
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBv4qW2Fw2F
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。513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKQbC5o0GK
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqz2Hqg2D77
「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。513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jIUpEVZAp
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sJWjTgZzm
「姊姊……」513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KUBGmABr3
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VOvtNSBX1
「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。513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMs0TQxcHO
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVMe0kFDZY
叮鈴……513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQgn2qHhnS
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrO4JcPkbhh
果然蕾剛才拿的就是這個，所有事她都記起來了吧？513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7KTdmCXuI
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BNoK7x1Fz
茜佇足在原地，一句話也說不出來。513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJA4qtSEk0T
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhfs1bxOKm
「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？513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFv1EdFcPWd
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMveB87oCC
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。513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRufsg5cp73
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bRP1Ee7E2
是被光線迷惑嗎？蕾見到了，見到了如空氣般透明的他。513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJHq8OUyVp
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOumZNLXw6z
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。513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBzEt90ouj
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvO3hsg2hA2
「不要啊！姊姊！」茜悲傷的尖叫，令蕾稍微回頭。513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsVy8i7I9T
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFn8yv11pO
可惜太遲了。513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztGbTHq3Ug
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLaBif1Ok3
蕾對茜露出一抹溫暖的微笑後，就縱身到窗外。513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OdoUIHtEn
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclRnBjclPc
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。513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYVqwrwuUg
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TbNmc6rZw
「太好了，我們終於——」蕾無法說畢的話，化作輕煙。513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Qc8cFcPN3
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBKOMnfseJ
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。513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIiGfwDoRIR
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3z7S8Qszw9
「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。
