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。603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡne75wCVp6Q
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbl0cTJB9EW
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。603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxWrGtrcx4
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MDJBfI7yc
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。603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpgaGae4Us
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdJkMlGq45
不，不對。603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasYEVHhfSF
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoERBzAUZ2Q
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」？603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8i1IEyXa3Q
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLLRaQko9u
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。603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZV1OtF5EOo
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZBYXZS4OL
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。603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMM6XDsTAff
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2aDatHOao
說美女是稱不上，但總算是可人兒。603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Fg8GZoPFy
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPWBsW3gTx
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。603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCg3b3P4IUZ
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxO8crNEez
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。603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQCahhYzBX
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUsxQGgmLx
「茜，你終於來了啊……」603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvLJ4LaDQg
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZyKB9cIfb
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。603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MClXgfFuq
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvE7AlVu0p1
「姊姊，睡飽了？」茜輕輕地呼喚對方，也就是自己的姊姊——蕾。603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5aPsuNOcs
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHv3DjcWwxj
「唔、好像……是吧……我已不太記得了。」603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURkVTHVDjs
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1g7Fib1fjP
「姊姊……」603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRnZVtRnnD
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLF8K3NMpV
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。603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxryDLjt3A
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2qACS4clt
不！她才不要！即使姊姊已經不再是——603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJ0idmkwSX
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gISG3uaKT
總之，她不可能把姊姊丟下！603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5XaKoXuRY
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGk4bh1h5u
「茜在想什麼？別不說話，我會怕啦！這裡又一點光也沒有……」603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjfgYjOq2D
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fKOrvlUZM
「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。603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CsIEB2TSR
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaJp5EPMfe
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。603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvuyt0spTb
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJqsW4f2Sk
（啊啊，在我老死後，姊姊要怎麼辦呢？） 603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEfJ1GqsNq
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnt73wQTUZL
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。603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Yyx5s4ha2
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCTkRCRr9G
對。蕾現在是吸血鬼，吸食鮮血的……怪物。603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WQiLgaSlf
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb60LR1b13Q
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……603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9ipOVXvRa
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzoCNf0UcJ
（姊姊會忘了我吧？）603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4tOGxiDKZ
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMfq0g4Pvc
「茜幹什麼這麼望著我嘛？啊！我知道了！是茜也口乾吧！」603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VfJkY8dY0
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡof1fJwGfDC
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。603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYraXLLx0j
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERdr65KOtd
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……603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyfzsvyzIa
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkITIFOwly
「呀、抱歉……這麼牽著手太累了！不如我直接入來，好嗎？」603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1acWlIPGk5
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUsZsmC0LE
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。603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPW1P1g8uFV
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJr1dDxkZb
「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。603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdJ9346BV4
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjv3Z5eUz75
（蕾記起當時的狀況嗎？她會不會恨我？）603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZixBsoSnAy
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsaGSFvCbnz
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0hEf2YXG7
她們的父母早在戰火中離世，二人一直、一直都在一起。603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzy3oTTThBV
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIF8MwYYBhi
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。603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsPgUMeAQY
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JxT7EBps4
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。603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TqYbP8SmB
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82l6A7u8hX
「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。603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwCFvX75hu
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWEXz2sezB
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。603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UQ1XaWeCm
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29ShuTLzS6
直至某天……603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡma7cXGIv4b
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdSM9Pus1V
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。603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuYXkAzy6Y
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12hcLi6Bk8
只要二人一起，去哪裡也沒關係！603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcewyxv3rhh
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGNzpFsYxc
沒多久，她們就被趕出了城鎮，來到了森林。603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xovMTXaAE
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPtyLnLOTW
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。603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYr8jmRiNu
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KMcl9b0f5
野獸在身邊徘徊，等待她們力盡之時。603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uMLsstJAg
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXkO4CCLb0
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……603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡij5O9phuH2
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhV1hv1LIbK
半昏迷的茜，突然感到有液體流入口中。603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfszkkKGRu
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIpx8szBXw
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。603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoI9VSI2JAK
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRi7eTrDAv
那些，是什麼來呢？603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsa1UuJLCc
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2vDIyY3uo
當時茜什麼也不知道。603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPP2nhfvfC
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABj9QI3uAE
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。603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLQajtZ64L
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCi1gQrutsQ
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？603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9CiPssrme
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJFR3bWjq8
只是剛吃飽，她就覺很累很累，沒多久又沉沉地睡著了。603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuiov0pPVp
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlYkV3Jgl4
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXHS8pglBQ
「……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。603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvd8BEPPZn1
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDitYKKqAm0
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。603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKy7qNnOKb
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6tsx38iaA
「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。603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD92gRzwMI3
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9Vyle2jRS
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。603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSXJwTwP2z
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6baOpZsKG
蕾和他對視，神色間霎然溫和起來。603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKr2DU4Tpg
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUqbqP4PYx
「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。603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACYCSBV6P2
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLEYgEWBOf
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。603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXijvFLhmGF
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY85Jwie9hf
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！603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJe48XT5t4c
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3TG0Ni7I9
「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。」603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QUB7UJFbJ
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHvO1FQvVd
「哦。」603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNblMJIaNl
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpnsMz0aBN
待蕾大約地把事情交代後，她就和男子一起消失於門外。603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesBq8EvdG5
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcp0VbyUdot
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……603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9EUJr9zCv
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3aklDzhpK
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。603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPasZ3NqD0
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjGtNpskhj
很幸福吧？603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgGZiJocnl
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDP2DuUI7u
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。603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mDgsPhrNN
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0j8lIfhMLD
只是……603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYgeYj9kj2
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Z2qDgOhDa
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。603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlnK5Rha6s
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLWes0nqgZ
「晚安，茜小姐。」603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXFnzTRarf
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Ot0ejViW7
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！603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpb9jRsjpd
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgsS6VYRjh
「不用叫我小姐啦！」603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XQsJA7XDG
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHpUIhWXe1
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。603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEq60C52pDS
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIQwdHSwqS
她，只是想姊姊陪在身邊而已。603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEsS82jaGw
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGrxjI7iG9
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。603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4AGhlAQLi
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyuHltTw0T
「那個，茜……有沒有看過雙生花？」603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaeltp7H29f
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHASyYrp31
「雙生花？」603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzMZuqh8w6
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIexSFkfjAD
「嗯，那是一蒂兩朵花的植物，看來就是很親密的樣子——」603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE48grcbjPc
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeeBNJs2uAP
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！603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhU1uvilYf
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIw7zNlaGJ
「那麼在哪兒啊？」603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByt0VRVvjM
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQArulA2HkZ
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。603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzzbK7lArt
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxwQUwo1Pk
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。603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOOvZpABc5
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUYlDKzKzI
不過，一切只是傳說，現在已經無從考證。603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAByWNirDv
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgPjGLnoj6
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。603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI54V6qZl4Y
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiF77J1ux21
幾乎每天到來的，她可從沒見到有什麼雙生花啊！603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwt5s55V5c5
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfwIfD5G5Z
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。603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmH6FmXKML
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwpxMjUHFc
「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——」603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIXFSlZoK2
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxGTGkLLZq
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。603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BLYKoFEKA
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzwE5auqwn
然而，是什麼地方出錯了呢？603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUSt66uwn5
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbJCtpoChI
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？603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2v4FBQ2Zi
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡag3erS62na
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。603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Fb7Des1cO
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFOG5SVuaG
茜的腦袋中只想著——那個男人是吸血鬼！603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGvgvSrsbq
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CEYOJZ8Ft
會被殺！會被殺！603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1yMZz2YLx
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHU91QkLar
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。603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BCwKeVLjs
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZtxBkBsyd
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。603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRBbhoF27E
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrpoJU4Kjl
只是蕾只說：「他是好人。」603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88bnxZ62eZ
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghE3Cbdnjw
為什麼？姊姊已不信自己了嗎？603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCeGNtVbIn
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYNA5GjqKV
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。603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCY70Ob1agV
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGVL5k9wbq
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。603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtrdyyNOvs
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0qNk8BBVd
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。603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWp5uzBtJK
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrn4Xk0oOdV
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！603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZ8B7DyCfn
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWlGvUpWJ0
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。603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09XEnLrOaN
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBNC6JcDYB
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。603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6kkQcBcAk
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYpsrgI8Yw
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。603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmhmGCiZa2
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiAozvwcwv
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。603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMq1kFrAj8
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvEdWecVwV
那時是白天，大家都睡著。603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqROcVu0jN
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQjwx69u9l
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……603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIq9GW0Ygr
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0osEP8VlnO
一個又一個地被殺害、燒死。603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbJvDaYBKY
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5prUKHZmqN
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。603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvZsdUQvJd
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhlRUEcE0H
「姊姊！姊姊！」603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0XH7wnkmx
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdhXzO6Lkn
去了哪兒啊？603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0uYUSfJvk
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhpVnVM784
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。603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYrZ7CHw2U
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3VnFSxTg4
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。603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2PRp4UCAE
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBDuM4L6O9
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。603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyE8af3pNE
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmGwVhc3NF
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？603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVvVxYKvTm
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWFHafGR6P
沒有，他救了她們兩姊妹，更照顧她們日常生活。603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qc2g2Zrs8
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjtRqtB4zD
至此她才終於明白，自己做了不能原諒，也沒法去補救的事。603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4hQp6Wu5V
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJuAE2Bxiq
接著，茜背起蕾逃出城堡。603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanFi5HxfD9
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjORS3LwnUN
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。603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU06zawF8Ld
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡie2DpPsDBP
而在那時開始，蕾也成為了吸血鬼，只能活於黑暗中。603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNX0qlVUPg
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpQ6VPcMuA
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxaWWS5Q0F
「茜！你又發呆了啊！」603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4rl83teAQ
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39lylueZOA
「那個、我今天也帶來了禮物！」603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGI6OcGEcDY
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFX2qr0Rz2
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。603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfV3M7D9GV
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LbOxQ3zcA
「這是什麼？」603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QmV4KTVzI
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebeXuHjnTO
「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。603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFVjhs8DO3
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpV90r5Vf7w
一直待到早上，茜才和蕾告別離開。603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SS1pmWlWP
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHpG7xzz0B
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？603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGxkkTKe2S
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9qqDBZcSo
即使是短短的瞬間，茜也覺得很難過。603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JcAAxC31r
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWZJF1DMpC
靠有接近永遠的心情，會是怎麼樣子呢？603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpUardI1Aw
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQD85FjzPV
想起蕾，茜只覺得很痛苦。603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5iVUnjgYg
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdDbQ8zNK9
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。603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnr6H3ieKfI
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxwGzfbG5B
不會是想起什麼吧？603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97PjTeQZIW
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscff4Nn35k
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——603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRFxDdbtqM
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjABqALASnp
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX99Tvd5dXL
花，開了。603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rhkfcb3oz
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZNPmw8hEk
短短的瞬間綻開，也在下一秒就枯死。603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJlx3Nlnx8
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrs90Q6MNL
「姊姊，很漂亮吧？」603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAns2JsyzMI
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbN3FPG1P7
「……」603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknWcAMWDZz
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWSV4TWlqk
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。603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPwJbsvLSa
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2A5GZ1bwY
「茜……」603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDV3hLxFNc
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zlxcQctIy
「呀、是？」603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhO2pTrUFM
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7T7tikYIbl
「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。603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZT3FzAl4bz
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq41eiLSUHi
蕾是吸血鬼！根本不能照到陽光啊！603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlYaq7jFJd
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrJDn8ZNIf
「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。603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNAawKwR19
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbpVAREfyp
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。603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1iszgJuPuW
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡioCWKRLJ2B
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。603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOlttgMPcq
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4fAqsYTjD
那男人……不，「姊夫」一開始時，根本沒有想要將蕾變成吸血鬼。603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQz0SEHO2CC
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsolO7ovMrS
（一切都是我自以為是的妄想與妒嫉。）603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUjg7n0KG1
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGy12cVVlO
沒有愛，何生恨？603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3ukSDMChN
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPMQYjnKvG
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。603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2GY1r7t5q
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYG6iQObSQG
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。603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OQmHlJAyi
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLh5HwGf6X
「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。603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6wb2xkvhj
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGfgw3wt4g
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。603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69PS15DZEW
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPX05Lkmxl
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。603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZKz1r1Vet
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPXX9E3iKt
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。603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLK1D8O8ff
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GNHp6ygwA
好不容易才走到閣樓，窗戶卻被木板釘死。603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuVj6YW8rf
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa50xhkkB6E
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。603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJHq8z2V7x
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxlJ8X2HrC
「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。603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6v3OJZ7BZ
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDADqAaqGBn
「姊姊……」603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rEbcmPlH3
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJa7o9U7urn
「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。603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Imq6KMjmY
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPfrSusCTZ
叮鈴……603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAqXUgzqGH
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGmUuuZVWx
果然蕾剛才拿的就是這個，所有事她都記起來了吧？603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBv9Y9btLX
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrCsYWoajX
茜佇足在原地，一句話也說不出來。603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyquQ5RNXY
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBwT8ixB1t
「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？603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8rgDcypQO
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3cm3rFBmi
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。603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmiCTG5hEC3
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRaQJeafrik
是被光線迷惑嗎？蕾見到了，見到了如空氣般透明的他。603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM85DenzWoD
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1qYWhLVkI
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。603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrCUr7xFVL
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3FMIAMWY5
「不要啊！姊姊！」茜悲傷的尖叫，令蕾稍微回頭。603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQuFlUkXAgb
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bTSyCZ5ak
可惜太遲了。603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwMiV7oOVP
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡziUGaXBMLP
蕾對茜露出一抹溫暖的微笑後，就縱身到窗外。603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0H4QP0CqPM
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGxtpcTQHG
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。603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4zeQE2tCh
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapN1G6OED9
「太好了，我們終於——」蕾無法說畢的話，化作輕煙。603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2l5qvN2V8H
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFLxF0y5O1
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。603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUtrkGasJa
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidVM6d5KJL
「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。
