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。631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5eHjI7sXKa
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAB0jeedKu
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。631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81n1tMZ9fx
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28i8W8eLBX
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。631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5y8xaG73kA
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHI1uxPWmZ
不，不對。631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8XfVkCgQO
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5QWzGS5lW
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」？631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4q8HivCvKS
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7sPlFCDQqG
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。631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVkyJF67W8
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLYPsQ03sT
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。631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQpoa5mDA9
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWB5ltTr12S
說美女是稱不上，但總算是可人兒。631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKRSWaeBay
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5N1eKmiMt
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。631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlz0p5mblJ
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4iTtCXmYu
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。631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKeC41d27X
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJI8HrahFU
「茜，你終於來了啊……」631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggNvQHUKqi
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbL5CZ0vMLT
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。631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7B6tiyelm
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGmCPj9lU2
「姊姊，睡飽了？」茜輕輕地呼喚對方，也就是自己的姊姊——蕾。631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6dYi28F7e
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VHkWoIdNs
「唔、好像……是吧……我已不太記得了。」631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCX7nprQsp
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8RTWgsG1C
「姊姊……」631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7sf5x6ekn
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrWqIohL7i
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。631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ckMkAytT0
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lrBTbmSB2
不！她才不要！即使姊姊已經不再是——631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Ti05xDeca
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB04ZyRaghH
總之，她不可能把姊姊丟下！631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjS4kFCHG8o
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02YW7wJCwW
「茜在想什麼？別不說話，我會怕啦！這裡又一點光也沒有……」631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVvo6ek50J
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuxs9I9qgu
「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。631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡut631VKJrD
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzPE0fFbMS
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。631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzZDNLp8Kl
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSIZUZ0uYV
（啊啊，在我老死後，姊姊要怎麼辦呢？） 631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUIyxRSfd0
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexf7WIXXHa
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。631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhGaGlXQbx
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9KMA7ANHp
對。蕾現在是吸血鬼，吸食鮮血的……怪物。631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZJO9zpvyX
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCKRaVGioL
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……631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuv1oxaA8U
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YTgctL0QP
（姊姊會忘了我吧？）631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzNFbCXyzN
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4TxePBTUo
「茜幹什麼這麼望著我嘛？啊！我知道了！是茜也口乾吧！」631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZCSUCEdnv
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3s3SOCbJt
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。631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrt3iyk9ac
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEe9ndZ8Vc
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……631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitcOLhDeIe
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDePVZ4Zau
「呀、抱歉……這麼牽著手太累了！不如我直接入來，好嗎？」631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigwq9cGDnB
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pltFemh9T
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。631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGqte8kphs
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlmMZfbdrF
「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。631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCw0YCOOIzQ
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDofKPIfrW
（蕾記起當時的狀況嗎？她會不會恨我？）631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfyaC7UWqR
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWlc8xNtFe
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPJBoNtSG6
她們的父母早在戰火中離世，二人一直、一直都在一起。631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Tr2vWjyS6
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEL80DDQrmw
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。631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrsYh4nMCn
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRRTUp24HJ
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。631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRgCc25qdP
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzasvNT5ij
「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。631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGaeYLXyhN
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNlmmC69QH
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。631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8JBphBh3V
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANbjrscroJ
直至某天……631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7sijrEMUh
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRvqpDyILV
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。631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSE11U79bn3
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpSuzUnWgo
只要二人一起，去哪裡也沒關係！631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxzeSqh7PQ
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bTJ3psutI
沒多久，她們就被趕出了城鎮，來到了森林。631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlByLAlMwJz
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkby9i2YGq
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。631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKw0MMjopRc
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRjlPbSvSM
野獸在身邊徘徊，等待她們力盡之時。631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthyUIlDzIs
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsVo7T2txp
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……631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHAgzU6o0k
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCQRZcEaHQ
半昏迷的茜，突然感到有液體流入口中。631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW58Ihd89BB
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmA03qh5rBj
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。631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4b7MDQQsTw
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOYgXd4up9
那些，是什麼來呢？631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcs3My52NXR
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRwSDLSuZs
當時茜什麼也不知道。631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlcLruGbUz
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSWYufAqfb
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。631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lQInQKo4z
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvqU2VrnwY
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？631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTMKExRglb
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwx9AiYoWbH
只是剛吃飽，她就覺很累很累，沒多久又沉沉地睡著了。631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHr3BQJq2W
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBrrzwU9ms
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz56jyJWa4X
「……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。631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9JHjHwota
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5H2MpLmSQ
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。631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lXm7thYJy
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4yeOv1K42
「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。631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxLbaZwcIS
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPSAAW6Wbn
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。631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1IGdrC0VY
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtr4kwInWib
蕾和他對視，神色間霎然溫和起來。631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5GNW4gsJj
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0zywQsTZv
「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。631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rFR5p2C4n
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8ary8lu3q
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。631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Y9m11zgL3
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVK6aWII2ng
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！631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1B5Pv1gCvV
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysGrvlU6do
「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。」631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemJukJ3dkq
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiST8eUBkx9
「哦。」631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurGlSe1T4N
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19VAEnhhBC
待蕾大約地把事情交代後，她就和男子一起消失於門外。631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPOvzmMhdf
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cVdF0GrRa
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……631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFosdSOKoIS
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoD5NnTpq2
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。631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpo5MXr1Hm
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBReGOlheVB
很幸福吧？631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WrRmpa7PC
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5c5Mx4Mt4J
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。631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfILkhngc7
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppjOf18BIy
只是……631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjc0cfdj33T
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0Oc72bx4I
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。631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8RUvTLxHN
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyCYD9ctVb
「晚安，茜小姐。」631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5aCmdWMUNV
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1aMsZT6pr
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！631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xr7ADGhAm
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQyFetykJV
「不用叫我小姐啦！」631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AaRpECWW4
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pZTLIHhN5
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。631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcAm6fzACn
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxdLqAUgVu
她，只是想姊姊陪在身邊而已。631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxnnnqehPa
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvIo0GnZzZ
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。631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xBPDVMJ5t
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CFffkBiFq
「那個，茜……有沒有看過雙生花？」631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0jIEU2Pne
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlod0cMRdW
「雙生花？」631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftuBwNKTX7
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn61wzIsdlq
「嗯，那是一蒂兩朵花的植物，看來就是很親密的樣子——」631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynQzqpgLcI
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3BjaDcMmU
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！631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwokRXwT8z
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQX63kILV4
「那麼在哪兒啊？」631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJmocfA1td
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5JMMJkr01
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。631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtV0irbfEE
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ViqoW6pwy
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。631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhNNlmjocE
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGR89ynJ3c
不過，一切只是傳說，現在已經無從考證。631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPPrcAYqfD
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXjrwloJ7a
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。631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVSJ97swNg
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vrYyLBkgg
幾乎每天到來的，她可從沒見到有什麼雙生花啊！631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFMIv8EoYF
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4YGDg49jP
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。631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MYHcUEY4K
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItr4St5X9j
「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——」631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFVlBEN6dv
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdKWjs9BU3
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。631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwr0b2GGj8X
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhRC6RRGTR
然而，是什麼地方出錯了呢？631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdqt2yFfjJ
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nUGxvgsp8
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？631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS51XpLLNgF
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrMxHZUs4p
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。631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2aHpMa7th
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTazaKtOeyo
茜的腦袋中只想著——那個男人是吸血鬼！631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVFIeed5nF
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡToOkGXAnXr
會被殺！會被殺！631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XXERrh54a
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtqIO0wMDh
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。631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIV6jICTgNb
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSY3JXigGF
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。631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjRphMJrxw
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqD1qFwGXd
只是蕾只說：「他是好人。」631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCEDjbUukA
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Wm5fJbE2T
為什麼？姊姊已不信自己了嗎？631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jnklCKnun
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJ9aory7aA
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。631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNJmek21u8
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ksGqhKJ7O
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。631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zhozia9yd
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnXzYx5iqK
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。631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡav7pcxlWI9
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbQloUpgSP
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！631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ydEoZh51O
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDRSmjIJkP
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。631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOkBQKDd1N
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcdSkTdpI5
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。631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJPGLRvfMG
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXWharl4KA
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。631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2O2TqJvY42
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2GVeErrTr
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。631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAByhLbbB0
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HfIeNv7gz
那時是白天，大家都睡著。631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaX3jnvshvV
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIhD8aTnui
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……631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDRX5aCqqn
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXpvJjaq71
一個又一個地被殺害、燒死。631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VCbcrsfzo
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDI59FswTuB
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。631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQpfk9b8oL
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPvyYIDWkg
「姊姊！姊姊！」631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSObA8Mlbq
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHn0GJ8ov1
去了哪兒啊？631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwI6IBx3THv
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzO5eC90oE9
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。631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ964zRLY58Z
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIy5awSGmGG
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。631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFUHbs6JSc
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69EyEGzmh9
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。631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQLubFUYcr
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtSEVJPorS
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？631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtd4pdvfCCb
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnx2VBbncDm
沒有，他救了她們兩姊妹，更照顧她們日常生活。631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNrVuEbbGQ
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKJ2n2c9n2
至此她才終於明白，自己做了不能原諒，也沒法去補救的事。631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXACFU4qTaP
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyZi64klhj
接著，茜背起蕾逃出城堡。631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsj4WcYOc6
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CKpZELmmD
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。631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP74Wvtu1xV
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAgdHMCmGt
而在那時開始，蕾也成為了吸血鬼，只能活於黑暗中。631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvMO6GZICU
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgopRdy3wMr
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GRrUjEDR7
「茜！你又發呆了啊！」631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQWXWGjeVn
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83XUKn17Sp
「那個、我今天也帶來了禮物！」631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCoAz12ocC
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2G2221WbM
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。631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35sL2bZ2yq
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaOVD7x1HM
「這是什麼？」631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgDFsbzZFe
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbwTOxS5fO
「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。631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBok4DsOlI
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0BuFBG6Yo
一直待到早上，茜才和蕾告別離開。631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJMZhN5ec3
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLbDAVK4E0
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？631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnKpjgCn71
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFXChXxpU8
即使是短短的瞬間，茜也覺得很難過。631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4LrpaSvzX
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSoIDxQ5yC4
靠有接近永遠的心情，會是怎麼樣子呢？631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1w7d6grOZu
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmW6AL14Xj
想起蕾，茜只覺得很痛苦。631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6BxVFKvWZ
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PeKjdqxRO
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。631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIq7KEiiT0E
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcIiFPYYrg
不會是想起什麼吧？631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnjWtWLvzZ
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGzhGAd3GN
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——631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCVFCKfFjV
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5p3eisGgjy
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4St756hIs
花，開了。631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa78ljr7FGl
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1cD9VGkhb
短短的瞬間綻開，也在下一秒就枯死。631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkjTKP8Nuo
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35DyixGB46
「姊姊，很漂亮吧？」631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRFv0TdEWv
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlVJwgqRzy
「……」631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTACZPSyrfE
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcx6fKdCGF
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。631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhw80dbPspu
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94yH4E9E3M
「茜……」631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNC4UhTjk8n
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3hpVXEWJX
「呀、是？」631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAM0eQWkRnz
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfYBeMSS0e
「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。631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqyuWrUAgm
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSd8ZJgoGI
蕾是吸血鬼！根本不能照到陽光啊！631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtaVAD2iNcm
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAtCArHhu9
「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。631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbmzWn0Fa3
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEHAnrBKrK
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。631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJbd1kOu0i
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GCIy9Y3vi
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。631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAOd61ge0m
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPVCRwX9Lw
那男人……不，「姊夫」一開始時，根本沒有想要將蕾變成吸血鬼。631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevXCbpT3c5
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFK3tv1gHWA
（一切都是我自以為是的妄想與妒嫉。）631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9kGzCQza1
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJaUcnz59v
沒有愛，何生恨？631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDXRvFsTme
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5ihNi0IcI
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。631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUDi0umHKS
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3wSRZKBEc
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。631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gAvOy548p
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRQiGxr2Zf
「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。631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPhA8gruTh
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsWNsyrf83
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。631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5IDrLAjuX
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQ2VfYBcuS
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。631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHiph93lRH9
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNZ6MtEXcQ
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。631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8GxrsQQFw
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpf7CjEElgz
好不容易才走到閣樓，窗戶卻被木板釘死。631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2O0wXGM5v
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZxB9YVKcW
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。631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHzdP1OIxz
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYm9F6QbCt
「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。631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOLC1sNTyo
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB52r2t4f2G
「姊姊……」631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4JmYyR3m7
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3SP6vohMj
「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。631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMo9mVKW0t
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0nq6PfH2u
叮鈴……631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8yPqW5qNq
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLAVRoN8jr
果然蕾剛才拿的就是這個，所有事她都記起來了吧？631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡch1PIZu784
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xM2G5j2E5
茜佇足在原地，一句話也說不出來。631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnnvLUaoa7
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsALF2AvWn
「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？631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnooVhpvKap
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZo0ZYIcwS
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。631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAO95mCw8jf
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6TSRC0nUf
是被光線迷惑嗎？蕾見到了，見到了如空氣般透明的他。631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxd0fHOudmG
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1UakIzckY
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。631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmhhd2Ai41
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvsCnpRcur
「不要啊！姊姊！」茜悲傷的尖叫，令蕾稍微回頭。631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXe4TPKgSgz
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iBXaBbPXc
可惜太遲了。631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkcVsCNdXd
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhWbXxqb4E
蕾對茜露出一抹溫暖的微笑後，就縱身到窗外。631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxen8nRIVbt
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPOzjVLBDi
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。631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozo9dXnh5h
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgvBfTWz9o
「太好了，我們終於——」蕾無法說畢的話，化作輕煙。631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAv1DiXRiDp
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBnWnA91Uk
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。631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16zzDy5fIl
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWcEo1VjzV
「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。
