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。500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuTnR6csGa
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yKhCSBEYA
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。500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaONY4qXU4X
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntXWbDhSSO
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。500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqWiJlMvID
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7l1HMvuDC
不，不對。500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJShFT1SJP9
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvT6V3bVFtc
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」？500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmsvWm7gHQ
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFcCZb09fP
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。500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxJ1ncibGD
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSCJ5LOz1l
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。500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42SVOZrkxZ
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsUPx6lVSg
說美女是稱不上，但總算是可人兒。500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmo2QhpQeh
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPfEVONDOu
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。500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwsuMSfCzI
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKJwNOvalM
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。500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiC4UKSvPh
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoe4jUfvBlk
「茜，你終於來了啊……」500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNLHarG8Br
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJer4qEwocy
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。500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9drtejToIC
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3a7TdWmPml
「姊姊，睡飽了？」茜輕輕地呼喚對方，也就是自己的姊姊——蕾。500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WfEfaMwNk
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDD8WOxbZSr
「唔、好像……是吧……我已不太記得了。」500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15GakQhVep
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHnRrO005K
「姊姊……」500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguYqN6sTIw
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICFNScbiJR
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。500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsffSsK2pi
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4V5bE98ts
不！她才不要！即使姊姊已經不再是——500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEC58lVjE8b
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0MdK4pL2Y
總之，她不可能把姊姊丟下！500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjm2E8KzzZL
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHG802kMv9o
「茜在想什麼？別不說話，我會怕啦！這裡又一點光也沒有……」500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujoJBflwbE
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡby1uBnwdWq
「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。500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QDmVC4Uq7
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hOwuAYeuB
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。500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpydECU5Hn1
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Emzb4T0Ig
（啊啊，在我老死後，姊姊要怎麼辦呢？） 500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI54740FqUm
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaivgWVhWgc
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。500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXmXWzq03G
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpgBJDHpxM
對。蕾現在是吸血鬼，吸食鮮血的……怪物。500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlK13TZNoAQ
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTzB8CVwyx
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……500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIt5hHPquzj
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVY99B4cxL
（姊姊會忘了我吧？）500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zgFSL98aF
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3w6NStolt
「茜幹什麼這麼望著我嘛？啊！我知道了！是茜也口乾吧！」500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2g4i0zVRe
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHr5Ko1SN7
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。500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80PgQLLonE
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrnPzyjlBI
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……500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAnsqZ2JmH
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExom8wEg1X
「呀、抱歉……這麼牽著手太累了！不如我直接入來，好嗎？」500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3LJcK6NTl
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBeYu3zTHVI
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。500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFm6D3fzSg
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI33qrlAcBo
「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。500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeq2XGhumA6
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqvrJxvYOf
（蕾記起當時的狀況嗎？她會不會恨我？）500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgaCdCqMZS
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHgm0wnN4O
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH721GAWUkm
她們的父母早在戰火中離世，二人一直、一直都在一起。500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSm3hBrXnD
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNcaEWM9sV
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。500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVRC8HE5LI
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4ovHsFoXm
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。500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAlBHcKOcd
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2orWH1gIw
「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。500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7x346G5Xwe
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN67HNsVYjS
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。500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JpYffvmNF
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJIWZvDkuY
直至某天……500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSL5wISFN1
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJuCIKsAJm
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。500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6LUdR1o46
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFpoGsEvov
只要二人一起，去哪裡也沒關係！500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsud0Cttp7I
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqJZVIyN2W
沒多久，她們就被趕出了城鎮，來到了森林。500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalzfscWylj
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDXXzQ0QGr
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。500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QKjpKTLFr
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVVqqqpfTv
野獸在身邊徘徊，等待她們力盡之時。500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62SScLqyBM
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPfufKALPw
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……500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKI3X2t4hon
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDQtNJlYvU
半昏迷的茜，突然感到有液體流入口中。500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQ1BPHGGtz
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUwnfvIkSP
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。500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyImI30es2
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpbwaKEhog
那些，是什麼來呢？500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHITOJmB8M
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCTFBunRW6
當時茜什麼也不知道。500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRDAK2dIX7
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJngY4v7kz
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。500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDtbsMjFIL
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnYxPpFHbE
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？500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy91vazeUEH
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8edmXuXlzz
只是剛吃飽，她就覺很累很累，沒多久又沉沉地睡著了。500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZi2cNO7R9
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YOPxPAoh0
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTxlwEL3ja
「……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。500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVoSKjZovt
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnFu9WsfNu
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。500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcd0vyOwrc
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHSPx5RBQS
「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。500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7I2KNZQlcH
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLz6FoW2vS2
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。500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFjBceIVFg
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFdYSwwoiR
蕾和他對視，神色間霎然溫和起來。500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2X5f4nuXm
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyWP3uYFpe
「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。500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1G3Mx8H8n
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgN1Nf6pcC9
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。500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5pYBLdvxK
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNOk44sd9q
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！500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORoZqijTex
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyBKFKKujL
「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。」500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5yYPtRWbd
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOk3VXFDkT2
「哦。」500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfDWJFS0sA
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjtZxWwtZ3
待蕾大約地把事情交代後，她就和男子一起消失於門外。500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zCQaA22Rn
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepMWk7vd6B
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……500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJboGc9CqO4
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64UAjfDEH1
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。500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwY0EfuDat
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoiOE0hu60s
很幸福吧？500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOMqMejhdb
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgqOvmxQeY
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。500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvk44Sd29J4
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9N3SOktyEp
只是……500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTtUhwP4Yr
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUEcCukGdI
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。500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5WGtkpWcY
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCajcB8uKW
「晚安，茜小姐。」500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMo6mw2W8Ib
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdiNdiqTWb
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！500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPjLLWPcRV
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIGD4m0BmT
「不用叫我小姐啦！」500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxN4A7GgXg
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzqsHQ9aFy
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。500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvMxIRn2bd
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmMJazP86S
她，只是想姊姊陪在身邊而已。500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDzBTCVlX5
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73WZG22n1W
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。500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdoxRB7VQk7
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpg62ojflzM
「那個，茜……有沒有看過雙生花？」500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CBoDOGmME
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oShR42yfo
「雙生花？」500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLEBJViRmL
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tG0yZY5Eg
「嗯，那是一蒂兩朵花的植物，看來就是很親密的樣子——」500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTks7TFHZ9
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2nZ2jpq03
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！500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCa1xXKSky
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsgpv0PG31
「那麼在哪兒啊？」500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNGPjmkBji
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhk0j3jdnU
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。500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1bb9VU1qy
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuYAbRLHdH
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。500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgT0xjDYEm
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGataWvLxH
不過，一切只是傳說，現在已經無從考證。500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQZTLS7rXd
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdh0dM0xgbz
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。500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9eFgWlx1v
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdZ3FIl2UZ
幾乎每天到來的，她可從沒見到有什麼雙生花啊！500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrI1wrd5Cq2
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtT52kDRnj8
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。500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6y59bFvZBo
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstQ3DohrIr
「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——」500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NvfG01l4T
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oxQswcg1p
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。500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuZFO4RxtO
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KCrguukSx
然而，是什麼地方出錯了呢？500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzaLEbujFU
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRUdSkRjmE
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？500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15qUcRkspB
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJjP5Vsywy
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。500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EIVotxFLY
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEN13GNFrt
茜的腦袋中只想著——那個男人是吸血鬼！500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIawFVybf1S
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjEnwQss21
會被殺！會被殺！500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3J3FwfPgbF
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhzo8Bjpgg
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。500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bxAi4MsYs
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVE0BvBNUg
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。500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6QyXRrPsM
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvaSadde6G
只是蕾只說：「他是好人。」500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHl3DnMdz22
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0N0xnLYuX
為什麼？姊姊已不信自己了嗎？500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkIbDKMuHL
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6CzM35qOo
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。500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXVHCkSy7o
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZHsrG1LRf
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。500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ljFhyVDmG
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuggCaMUTIS
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。500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhg14duEWdl
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIr9tzuOPrv
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！500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdbqe1qGzf
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡluuGQtQ1Li
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。500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwBFMInMQ5
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvkksVjLU6
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。500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJoxbRLnI1
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3N6MxhrE1
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。500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQfOqwLQ63
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rNc0HtV9k
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。500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvGOZSHhlY
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQQltjlHIE
那時是白天，大家都睡著。500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqRjiYJk9w
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiaUJbIK3bs
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……500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXkMmrMVtq
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8zWwaub8Z
一個又一個地被殺害、燒死。500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMihMCTOBF6
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKY92R4gzZ
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。500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9PFOGle1r
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7d3LlELQpp
「姊姊！姊姊！」500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCnALVTHQe
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepcQACtfSm
去了哪兒啊？500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuF0g3kQICq
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUvWQy5iNr
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。500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwI1deICao
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0SzrV5ZuP
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。500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVP4zcszvFk
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1uD5Pemv2
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。500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lYFaVgaTq
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWCgWdPoa2
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？500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1FWGVFuac
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJlQkemXRe
沒有，他救了她們兩姊妹，更照顧她們日常生活。500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwABLItqUB
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7E1VDguaoq
至此她才終於明白，自己做了不能原諒，也沒法去補救的事。500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFeatgHAer
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL33v7RkvNH
接著，茜背起蕾逃出城堡。500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElzuyDTlJV
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJaTsWYhAfu
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。500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXasTqeiCH7
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniYZ0CVBZz
而在那時開始，蕾也成為了吸血鬼，只能活於黑暗中。500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacYNftocAY
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGV2xPVjz67
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡteiOUDMPaD
「茜！你又發呆了啊！」500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwzud70jk0
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOg0Eo7mqG
「那個、我今天也帶來了禮物！」500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BCKE7t9Vj
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3I27s4oqi
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。500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oSdEdCzPu
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2Onj9RpmC
「這是什麼？」500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzqYsz2Qx3
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1Ax6G4NuO
「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。500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNUDcayKaw
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVUgm5VL9v
一直待到早上，茜才和蕾告別離開。500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7k47PBNLUa
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XHwDyb3NW
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？500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSomIxNjE8d
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrV7qUuS4Lz
即使是短短的瞬間，茜也覺得很難過。500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEqth5WR8o
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTFPSKO5dC
靠有接近永遠的心情，會是怎麼樣子呢？500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL10t8TvBVG
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAuJ3enu50
想起蕾，茜只覺得很痛苦。500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCssBX3BR39
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKi4VOZdoO
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。500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4E0Iscja1v
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPBfHM1CMT
不會是想起什麼吧？500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgtNDh5FE5
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVRRo3OdSH
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——500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCaAu0b3ej
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztsn6dghig
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NfUcevu4m
花，開了。500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaRUY3UteD
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIZyrnWMci
短短的瞬間綻開，也在下一秒就枯死。500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhzZtR25m3
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8X8JZadpLA
「姊姊，很漂亮吧？」500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybAhHmPdTw
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdnRW9dYfo
「……」500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErzlmoNzXJ
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyf5T56HeD
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。500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7Sng3VHXu
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMMKS6wm6G
「茜……」500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18HfL5x45A
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUxAmxqRCT
「呀、是？」500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWUNB1GeDR
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1mzmnQyWo
「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。500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjtlSsM5D8
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbD4MLABxvc
蕾是吸血鬼！根本不能照到陽光啊！500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WvEDvxJ7w
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6yZ5vO6Cc
「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。500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6NCeVCHIs
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdf9ES2Ymk
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。500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JzXQKj5I0
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFshiTPKfL
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。500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2f82nx4ys4
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjVtRDF5kT
那男人……不，「姊夫」一開始時，根本沒有想要將蕾變成吸血鬼。500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnP3NTlzx2g
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0UWJ3bvsK
（一切都是我自以為是的妄想與妒嫉。）500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2PQnl9YyC
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvKj1DAiLy
沒有愛，何生恨？500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VbAadjJTi
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPe3Uvqqy1
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。500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddyzHLm2Ti
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXagvxQxsRv
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。500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpjwUiqFuO
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbkHTrs0AM
「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。500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi99ZLHmDbr
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOo3h96Lwp
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。500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp60LI2b1gX
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgV6LaCQp5
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。500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiaRXeJ5BP
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFEq2Y0Whe
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。500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBe01d38kx
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkw6XXWTOui
好不容易才走到閣樓，窗戶卻被木板釘死。500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcdPxifNSr
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hvhGPdb29
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。500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0V0f0XsUvJ
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWCF2gdoMa
「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。500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYaX1ev2xS
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbF6TLgBgBo
「姊姊……」500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNd34b1MDt
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cY8OLX7dg
「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。500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvep0A9L2IA
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrqsCPUKnd
叮鈴……500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuD8O7xZay1
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VYcgpiLVk
果然蕾剛才拿的就是這個，所有事她都記起來了吧？500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Q3phFE0oL
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5H9HZufR9y
茜佇足在原地，一句話也說不出來。500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjizW4ajmJv
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOc8oFuyG6J
「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？500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljdMROPZd3
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7pDSWfRGd
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。500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqORmmsf111
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAu1Thtwpg
是被光線迷惑嗎？蕾見到了，見到了如空氣般透明的他。500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQHNpl8rvJ
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04gJa2m5Zz
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。500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkgkLIFDyA
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyBnSVrdCg
「不要啊！姊姊！」茜悲傷的尖叫，令蕾稍微回頭。500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxVs2Qkj2M
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3G42ljC6yd
可惜太遲了。500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXvxcRsNhU
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtug9FmmXeW
蕾對茜露出一抹溫暖的微笑後，就縱身到窗外。500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqMVgqsF4k
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1qHlRGuIg
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。500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBoAsbZhxAB
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZ8BUBFgGQ
「太好了，我們終於——」蕾無法說畢的話，化作輕煙。500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmWP6QPhbO
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77ayIk69Wz
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。500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqOyBJnUbj
500Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX392Q06ObQ
「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。
