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。604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxo6s2Upcb
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEU45VX57Xt
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。604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyxQqndTp1
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsGwJD245L
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。604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAoTmTMIPx
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlr00oM7boN
不，不對。604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3PlgHWDmU
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrE49qtRcW
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」？604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYoSmrpkqa
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFq9tivn6z
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。604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakhuSJrXWp
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1gpXXADRA
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。604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzygCueb3w
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGDJ82dlOb
說美女是稱不上，但總算是可人兒。604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8QDD0nORu
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7iCH6KeG1
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。604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0H8Ksjh2rq
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWdcjo33Z2
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。604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78sEcKz3dJ
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeaVVbiNDe
「茜，你終於來了啊……」604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1flwVs7JM
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOVIuIU2YF
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。604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8XjQoyqVh
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmf6SAwY9kk
「姊姊，睡飽了？」茜輕輕地呼喚對方，也就是自己的姊姊——蕾。604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAOVTn478q
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSWS07L3PD
「唔、好像……是吧……我已不太記得了。」604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06YwlsyAzj
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUybKJBvDc
「姊姊……」604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPLPmg8PUt
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyeiljlViaQ
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。604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMv4PUxEjex
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwfMcZ9uUD
不！她才不要！即使姊姊已經不再是——604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3ltb9ovxC
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdeqTHBlbOB
總之，她不可能把姊姊丟下！604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqaJJXr16MC
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sZOheRMkB
「茜在想什麼？別不說話，我會怕啦！這裡又一點光也沒有……」604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKzFIgHzef
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6EynzQdhP
「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。604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCYdsEslGE
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvOMNFxzYE
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。604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclDhgGlQWM
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3hAsmFFwZ
（啊啊，在我老死後，姊姊要怎麼辦呢？） 604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrgbQvCqBt
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43cvYl7D8i
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。604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxYecbe15R
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZReKdEXY4
對。蕾現在是吸血鬼，吸食鮮血的……怪物。604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVXAmKmw2D
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZDfyN7wJ5
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……604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrABf4KuDX
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxurPyAHXu
（姊姊會忘了我吧？）604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4h4EmmEmns
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGalGqF15mt
「茜幹什麼這麼望著我嘛？啊！我知道了！是茜也口乾吧！」604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYPofElfGF
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtSlP2eicb
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。604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWTfNIQMbI
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6ppVDger7
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……604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiCuNPV2ep
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8apO3j8KSY
「呀、抱歉……這麼牽著手太累了！不如我直接入來，好嗎？」604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpZC8McJVg
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6f8zViH7FJ
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。604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8kAEgVU86
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmihI44uZW
「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。604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyALtJwg9s
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFDxHHyUsb
（蕾記起當時的狀況嗎？她會不會恨我？）604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcM29QjJ4o
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDCgVPSk24
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77dKaz1WQV
她們的父母早在戰火中離世，二人一直、一直都在一起。604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wJ9lgGGum
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj50G70SfGo
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。604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrIYhW6uRp
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRs49n8ospR
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。604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTpwZwgrcn
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMp7oQZoNB
「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。604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzeM1SmFTD
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxva5WWjOmW
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。604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXH3vLH8on
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVXfdIJmKA
直至某天……604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTph4okeCZ
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVkUz00rwv
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。604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1M3ZnJpD2V
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8iA7hJBrE
只要二人一起，去哪裡也沒關係！604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmD2XMiF1Hd
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZLYSKcbHl
沒多久，她們就被趕出了城鎮，來到了森林。604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsW52oBrfZb
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHysMNNnrIn
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。604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuizMArNcZC
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj12BIEUEyD
野獸在身邊徘徊，等待她們力盡之時。604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCLtLJRv6R
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpKARIn7sW
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……604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVA5UkLs49
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EU5TxF6RB
半昏迷的茜，突然感到有液體流入口中。604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68g3h5sVfM
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuPWtxIJe4
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。604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4dA1PN94D
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtOCSdNnON
那些，是什麼來呢？604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgx6RDc7rHO
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBowQkEbhSd
當時茜什麼也不知道。604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3D4EKxsyl
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWksbCAYUN
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。604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlFwQq8ojc
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fvOt6ry4e
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？604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFphk1GUbcb
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlcuPRbbWN
只是剛吃飽，她就覺很累很累，沒多久又沉沉地睡著了。604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZ7VyjatNu
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyU5bQftJw
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70xJTZmOSb
「……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。604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zHc2QQkDM
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pMxYLmLSK
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。604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WSRRoDiZy
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZYMg8MrpJ
「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。604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqu8YYO0Ks
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27e1F96W5I
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。604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SH2d5EH8R
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUA2sSvfLQP
蕾和他對視，神色間霎然溫和起來。604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsS1lgkUDZQ
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6RrKVMZ4H
「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。604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv74jDNF7nM
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8w9zqi2nG
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。604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIauwFP8c6Z
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcY4XF5Fk6
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！604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpG5evVtWx
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKa1jxRR2ka
「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。」604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJCRpSsrK5
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvxZEybn0w
「哦。」604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkursIMw3FD
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIoz1YCZD7
待蕾大約地把事情交代後，她就和男子一起消失於門外。604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjF46akzbkU
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4FL4NOg0I
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……604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAB6vVIXDYP
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDgq6UOVGM
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。604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ajCezEgAC
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCfO0khLIu
很幸福吧？604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2N5H6PdWwZ
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstSjOUaqHs
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。604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvU4cgjTCPc
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUkc5BbG10
只是……604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTguR2AsoAw
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4M8odQlX1V
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。604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCq2cODOlfj
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWHNAW0gex
「晚安，茜小姐。」604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGmaRMnCje
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhKBEuti1J
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！604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDzziP7aG3
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50ZgqU89Bk
「不用叫我小姐啦！」604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCadlGXhBlq
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIzxpFqimo
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。604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAlIxK7I1V
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG07rxnnX54
她，只是想姊姊陪在身邊而已。604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2G1PTBXbh
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVNyGStRNS
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。604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1ZuTJ0ufx
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwutXjyBp41
「那個，茜……有沒有看過雙生花？」604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMZSNLPxPg
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PRWKzFC5U
「雙生花？」604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsPoy4wEbE
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwnDgF98p6
「嗯，那是一蒂兩朵花的植物，看來就是很親密的樣子——」604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGHG9GbU8C
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aWE53XTWl
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！604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsH7yQte02
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97qQpuhi1T
「那麼在哪兒啊？」604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1mhwLR1qO
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ052re3v3zW
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。604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWei2cOapyy
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSi03H9okwI
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。604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlP9CWZXyY
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVKbmpTqZq
不過，一切只是傳說，現在已經無從考證。604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2KsOPWR3m
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlk5t2XVPj
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。604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQiCEK13116
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhXi2GZWCX
幾乎每天到來的，她可從沒見到有什麼雙生花啊！604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4N1z7fLUmL
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdw2evZ4sx
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。604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7Fl2hcWt2
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21ye4D20Dm
「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——」604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGG1swCEOs0
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtWEAvKonD
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。604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74f0qJplSI
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeKeBOI2RU
然而，是什麼地方出錯了呢？604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVoUEIk8Ij
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0E4xXPvqVQ
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？604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXhtamr4xf
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ftkMyCo59
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。604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Q8LEPjYoV
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqrH8QiXw2
茜的腦袋中只想著——那個男人是吸血鬼！604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyDivvlffK
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwAy0DXL22
會被殺！會被殺！604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NLZZINi6S
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFDmvIjyPp
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。604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlNHZ4PbQG
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocd6dbe6Qt
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。604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxXfxntC8O
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAz80wPw25
只是蕾只說：「他是好人。」604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡveVYeX4PZz
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7ZJIa3I1B
為什麼？姊姊已不信自己了嗎？604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvTCiBnY3F
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAlfgrKnUG
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。604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJePoEyM7V
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBk2VDKCAxt
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。604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLo33xVsz73
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3FqENiDgi
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。604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjLObjjcGQ
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqUNqhwomb
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！604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcP0l6DJi1z
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8XqmDClnb
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。604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8I4dOVVU7
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhpNZg4dPz
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。604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYydfQ4Kk0G
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpCq4O1CDD
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。604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7CjoPfpeF
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ315oMdUFT5
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。604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SpViQkiA4
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjZbD8gpAN
那時是白天，大家都睡著。604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCoHiaBg1m
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHiMkY4Y3j
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……604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXul2mx6JLD
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcWL0Wvrvd
一個又一個地被殺害、燒死。604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg76DwRxOEx
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLcVNyUgDV
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。604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5kaM4kqyk
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFmmSP97bR
「姊姊！姊姊！」604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyQhxP2wxi
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmxJ8VNqkq
去了哪兒啊？604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1btTwFDoIy
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJEWy2QMQn
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。604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9RCWPJtwV
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyajeDx8AI3
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。604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yI95IqaEy
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYQld7GgQb
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。604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChwj7GWe4B
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJtK1mSkcF
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？604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPaEwK7gdqZ
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI61vY2F8f0
沒有，他救了她們兩姊妹，更照顧她們日常生活。604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oUSPsjbxX
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXV04Wgk98Y
至此她才終於明白，自己做了不能原諒，也沒法去補救的事。604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMneetM90o9
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOl86vrJtN
接著，茜背起蕾逃出城堡。604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYDkwp9gwi
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtL65pRVJGt
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。604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDzOKbKLzc
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuVyMM7ifc
而在那時開始，蕾也成為了吸血鬼，只能活於黑暗中。604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1qmtdblEM
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREwcih1VWK
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPWfFU1XfO
「茜！你又發呆了啊！」604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURivrvA5fA
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMVfcrtK51
「那個、我今天也帶來了禮物！」604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpZfQXsfFc
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnR16MJObsU
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。604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77IHfTQVhD
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7ZxIzwuqz
「這是什麼？」604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8qDTXSDqj
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERSkWxIFNP
「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。604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cI3yffRnm
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2vgo8OhvH
一直待到早上，茜才和蕾告別離開。604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdPD3taJKq
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17pZ1cWc2s
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？604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsDHMYsZ9s
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxwQvFZdL4
即使是短短的瞬間，茜也覺得很難過。604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkeK9TSwwm
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyKPb9jd34
靠有接近永遠的心情，會是怎麼樣子呢？604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVpZymSzV8
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlH1pfTYmC8
想起蕾，茜只覺得很痛苦。604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4rSN9cHkR
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6SDKVWwdk
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。604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMw0QaMdyV
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVAX4ngyYe
不會是想起什麼吧？604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSpzDp7nco
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZXk97zm6t
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——604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSPbPWsxE7
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uAAbeCyuL
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEdP3AoUDV
花，開了。604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5qNHkjXww
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJQsXqQOTq
短短的瞬間綻開，也在下一秒就枯死。604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JiK2rRs5Z
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHjMocUX4v
「姊姊，很漂亮吧？」604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVRT8HoR3L
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdh1qBEzavO
「……」604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PqjEHoWUP
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRCvykrq40
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。604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQCaHZMHJD
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8envtjZtp
「茜……」604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KR6g52LGU
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQtDibQZse
「呀、是？」604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZeZcIYNMdp
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpsIBAMYNT
「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。604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYnkBZ3HK9
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIxK7BcSrc
蕾是吸血鬼！根本不能照到陽光啊！604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmBPUNYzpN
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMz6YxBgm2j
「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。604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0x6dWd1uad
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyO3bSI4x2
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。604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzNis1jAxD
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFOZJ8goqh
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。604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBjvdyw0mp
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIoHuJum9z
那男人……不，「姊夫」一開始時，根本沒有想要將蕾變成吸血鬼。604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZJ56PlpvV
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6G89rV1vz
（一切都是我自以為是的妄想與妒嫉。）604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCW09w0pvr
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRg6Y8uGao
沒有愛，何生恨？604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEMiBiHtDc
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xHmSvXP7w
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。604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLo3cszwamt
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKhiUB7Lj7
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。604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmtRFVJbvf
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtBJcyzw1a
「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。604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5ngMG7BCJ
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFzwc3d36X
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。604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fOGB7yWk6
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gCUAHpGLz
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。604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2MIaKFo3U
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7mrrUKvxh
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。604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLr6n88b2H
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH00m0cdIXk
好不容易才走到閣樓，窗戶卻被木板釘死。604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19eQmmlE7f
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwo6fE5ltw
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。604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoiAw9HrQdU
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkf0hlPdNTO
「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。604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXTUMMsvpV
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1ABXu1THi
「姊姊……」604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqaXOs3pAo
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xAAD7TQPg
「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。604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR39ke4dwcg
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKNckLnZHy
叮鈴……604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCNJzlLpvx
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OgQ6Ey74F
果然蕾剛才拿的就是這個，所有事她都記起來了吧？604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRl61DPNCjm
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFBF6WFQZB
茜佇足在原地，一句話也說不出來。604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzXzdDCKNh
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqqaIwhupd
「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？604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vgjnXuEVG
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnzGfLrRcP
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。604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvsELGTDAm
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZ7BmiEc58
是被光線迷惑嗎？蕾見到了，見到了如空氣般透明的他。604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASEvLKKAkr
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJhnI5SAcm
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。604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYqvHwiehv
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzzeoJh7g0
「不要啊！姊姊！」茜悲傷的尖叫，令蕾稍微回頭。604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosHr0ktEve
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGt6bo3Yzz
可惜太遲了。604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiatIL7oZA9
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡriTsgCNxVZ
蕾對茜露出一抹溫暖的微笑後，就縱身到窗外。604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAL2Iah1uLZ
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0Th8W1IcA
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。604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6CNDNvAOp
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0N5h8UzKVc
「太好了，我們終於——」蕾無法說畢的話，化作輕煙。604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQmi2fhb4x
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOoBESrAljY
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。604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8rQy4zKWy
604Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ennPGoPYG
「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。
