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。534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlsusIcY4P
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3qweHY3Y1
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。534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡty0ZaMgDrw
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJHptzsygF
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。534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQpbe3BiNs
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjdmGryr6l
不，不對。534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwu7WseViQ
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRPf77Nw86
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」？534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegVUtX8JVD
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVy7Ry47Ef
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。534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVxkF5Cqly
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PGX1TYFX2
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。534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYpD9mrFlf
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYA7x8qybk
說美女是稱不上，但總算是可人兒。534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYaRDPtW36
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHHWba3GMA
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。534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapU5CyO95u
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkh0fvZaVF0
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。534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVBFMe19B9
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9F6dnDU0T
「茜，你終於來了啊……」534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsOh1Gf7fn
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2Jdh0tLCB
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。534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDO7jPmcZf
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsL4eFSCZP
「姊姊，睡飽了？」茜輕輕地呼喚對方，也就是自己的姊姊——蕾。534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0niKsAsuhU
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUO2LTS49uC
「唔、好像……是吧……我已不太記得了。」534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTh9O2Gqps
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUO67evAxaw
「姊姊……」534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcU2p73hkDR
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUE66mu42gE
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。534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3H66OcT27
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0YKGBcpCc
不！她才不要！即使姊姊已經不再是——534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzlibl38c9
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FHSSY4wHH
總之，她不可能把姊姊丟下！534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfENTuyWxv
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqEEVEYfkG
「茜在想什麼？別不說話，我會怕啦！這裡又一點光也沒有……」534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwvBxNcnfa
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7TqMnHMqs
「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。534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8FjQVCNro
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsRQiIyCvZ
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。534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLSlcgNt0h
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbcQuHyRRm
（啊啊，在我老死後，姊姊要怎麼辦呢？） 534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbh9KFq0vq
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2lN2CEnmV
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。534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzC3sDiETL
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjtI1vVKRk
對。蕾現在是吸血鬼，吸食鮮血的……怪物。534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYM2dKP8hEJ
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6S9MFaQoJC
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……534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuuNSO0wcj
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVTapKLLiz
（姊姊會忘了我吧？）534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktXhzNT3NY
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkWgCHnd2s
「茜幹什麼這麼望著我嘛？啊！我知道了！是茜也口乾吧！」534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZS4xMVV05
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgY4utrAp1p
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。534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoFJhclPsQ
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeE8T1r9PJK
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……534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0v2GfL8r1A
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bsa23PBqf
「呀、抱歉……這麼牽著手太累了！不如我直接入來，好嗎？」534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMakCo6a2Uy
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3FRH8vhA6
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。534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGqsxDCaWG
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBQZPa5N0h
「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。534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5iJ25zEVL
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnT9Fof9LpX
（蕾記起當時的狀況嗎？她會不會恨我？）534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzK442D9ua6
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEQTINDsZP
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWSNBmnswt
她們的父母早在戰火中離世，二人一直、一直都在一起。534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWQ8eDe8Ng
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOVCIepov7
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。534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WfUGU1hxx
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnJjdmaNot
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。534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIreSRulkLE
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0k6dYJYPHq
「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。534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9sE8900d3
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1X6srwC5t
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。534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmR2tCpzMK
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSJs46321b
直至某天……534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8WDMPaGxs
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyUWf14oeh
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。534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkuV4SDxx4
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwdsqmkOWp
只要二人一起，去哪裡也沒關係！534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LHUXd52Il
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4uNNjnOro
沒多久，她們就被趕出了城鎮，來到了森林。534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YZSJ3c4v9
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlaAqdosR73
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。534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDdSwNbSPV
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpRCGubB6e
野獸在身邊徘徊，等待她們力盡之時。534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMxXUDpfwQ
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2i2y6l66ky
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……534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmwtEbtuzV
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sHSx2dREs
半昏迷的茜，突然感到有液體流入口中。534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE35mEqRkLT
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflf8kHx275
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。534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf47wvvZdLm
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeshH4LDmN6
那些，是什麼來呢？534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FYBmXJnh6
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9QQYsSPw5
當時茜什麼也不知道。534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEosyarffzZ
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wGySjKkU0
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。534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjewIKcZyS0
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHm1gaQ3UiH
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？534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtnX4tFAP0
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiuEBbK4hx
只是剛吃飽，她就覺很累很累，沒多久又沉沉地睡著了。534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJqsZsJYGx
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5qEluGRWv
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcTOeI7qnw
「……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。534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhG0kiwIp2I
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHgFcfMLbN
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。534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgH2NwCA0O
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj98woeERmA
「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。534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NupcNetmA
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuqkwxCzoK
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。534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnsMmzHPe8
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDq0NobU2Vt
蕾和他對視，神色間霎然溫和起來。534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHiZFrJrEgP
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiX0xKl6w1t
「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。534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJH5RyGJcf
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6PdrdGkIf
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。534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6u6mkmw00
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmIQrWfYZ3
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！534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBU6nVjKeO
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXkG3GjMjf
「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。」534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTBW2u8794
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iqWZXGTJT
「哦。」534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHzVjFp6bU
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevlrg41JRp
待蕾大約地把事情交代後，她就和男子一起消失於門外。534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKQGPbRTpK
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnaABrvm4pH
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……534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85QsurOJAk
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAwgmJbHCC
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。534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbJq77CIv6
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiaEoMrDqQi
很幸福吧？534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6fWjcUU8v
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFa0SG3xZk
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。534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqZuACfUWu
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzevFihEcaD
只是……534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmiFDsYrPd0
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwvWY077Jf
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。534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhseWT8KP9
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmE9T2PjgWh
「晚安，茜小姐。」534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rYc1SlsjD
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpgzX7iQ7o
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！534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvXAp73cgd
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbvjviDcMn
「不用叫我小姐啦！」534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPX8AFINHe
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAynEKfaSER
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。534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhyp3F7fFK
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ClI8FoDXZ
她，只是想姊姊陪在身邊而已。534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWTphnLEzF
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC90cGkcRhP
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。534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzI9zA5JpC2
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyWMDOdVsG
「那個，茜……有沒有看過雙生花？」534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39Km7zY3fY
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJOL0oopZx
「雙生花？」534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThpYekG8Q0
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYAQ9mDIbu
「嗯，那是一蒂兩朵花的植物，看來就是很親密的樣子——」534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2eKTNkn4O
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1x1jdNwnWU
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！534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoLT5P5k1f
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMyAiqGV2Y
「那麼在哪兒啊？」534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OAAAO2eCr
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjI5eAOyjG
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。534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIHkrNgcpm
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOtBowHbnh
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。534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VRmnGwTxl
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQKG0t0EC6
不過，一切只是傳說，現在已經無從考證。534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0llAMYXUA2
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9M21isynt
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。534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3Cggp0adm
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zLmtQINt3
幾乎每天到來的，她可從沒見到有什麼雙生花啊！534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQ8wewdj32
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66l4lQPpip
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。534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVDefCEt51
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIU8QvsM9yT
「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——」534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAtVOCiodd
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZQ6WBtsHX
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。534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Ha98wCYsT
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwEtc175sx
然而，是什麼地方出錯了呢？534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKqfxiHoMp
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2P7q8VX7wq
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？534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzHT3L9dNv
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6vLNq4Ggv
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。534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTln4DmbPT
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoiTPXckT7
茜的腦袋中只想著——那個男人是吸血鬼！534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEU7eLAN1Q
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2s6G0LmC7
會被殺！會被殺！534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgIBPGR5vm
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqH8UjqXzqy
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。534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalWBcUqF9S
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqYr8nGPJw
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。534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwf3g6G2ac
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLj556koWq
只是蕾只說：「他是好人。」534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hvfIm5KB5
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaR04w1qHy
為什麼？姊姊已不信自己了嗎？534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlJDsCsOVk
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCRk1j8AU7
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。534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7lI2aLbAC
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3nw5NpBBl
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。534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMytEXZq1W
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUF0hrad8R
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。534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFhM27Ejp8
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZsJEokxZ6
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！534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5smcaj1ifT
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDG5xFbrudp
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。534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2EPRREiqsp
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDEkjiptv5
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。534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgjJqFWVCk
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPquskInSBT
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。534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpKSFdhcAq
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7job7hHmn
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。534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUDAWDR5zh
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37NRnvCzTU
那時是白天，大家都睡著。534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6T0IDI2ujs
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhInBOnwvg5
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……534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2wOBxpxrS
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPjy7pfuFh
一個又一個地被殺害、燒死。534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8oPjqSc4KP
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYilCnIcCZ
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。534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErbNdnIk8E
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6exAGdTVrN
「姊姊！姊姊！」534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUKEuUd2zf
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHY5Lqqc0cw
去了哪兒啊？534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DO4iCwWOF
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhnbNfCSwY
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。534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthqnHATKvd
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnemVxS2rWX
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。534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWWBCZPjlg
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeM4tvlgX1S
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。534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZA7GH5lV2W
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabkvomA60M
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？534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDSV227oPs
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoryqxoorsr
沒有，他救了她們兩姊妹，更照顧她們日常生活。534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1WovwtvGx

至此她才終於明白，自己做了不能原諒，也沒法去補救的事。534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7kEbX5496
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqdIclB3Vw
接著，茜背起蕾逃出城堡。534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaW2i34jrRW
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuG4jhe4tpL
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。534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJzPQUnaUe
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4B3fGvfHRU
而在那時開始，蕾也成為了吸血鬼，只能活於黑暗中。534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WlOUkruyR
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpieuOJ7kIl
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2JmzZefvL
「茜！你又發呆了啊！」534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTINkEEw77m
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBi59bPYQSx
「那個、我今天也帶來了禮物！」534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrd3Hxh5HrG
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZFys8hCSH
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。534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfb29xqjzr
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGn59L4wsz
「這是什麼？」534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWLG0QXcAW
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvGsfoaZae
「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。534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPaNS8iIH9P
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFommwbeerQ
一直待到早上，茜才和蕾告別離開。534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSva3UVHuc
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgWHDsE3RU
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？534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuu7QjGI0Ly
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhCrRBp8hN
即使是短短的瞬間，茜也覺得很難過。534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWBFuiMwQz
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4Y3zoS1hY
靠有接近永遠的心情，會是怎麼樣子呢？534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPxUt6ExPj
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8MPZTPWmp
想起蕾，茜只覺得很痛苦。534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsk4MiOpQt
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqPfzzz5SA
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。534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uS2rG03wO
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8DLBmmalo
不會是想起什麼吧？534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jsgurjyNK
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4F4oX5bGs
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——534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybZd7SiUbw
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQiM31L5ok
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQw3cSfjHpY
花，開了。534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7sJsVeJwp
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiJB2F0ulW
短短的瞬間綻開，也在下一秒就枯死。534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxwXOn9EzW
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HEhMbN9ME
「姊姊，很漂亮吧？」534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Ilc4WfzeZ
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosz0e38ldc
「……」534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrw6D0pdgK3
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dEfGevAsC
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。534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LluCOTbYI
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5cDa2LPf5
「茜……」534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBqkdFPAlY
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFbJ5NQiAF
「呀、是？」534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVtnlsFOHf
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK15CBW3dWS
「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。534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCBhaZk6QH
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPNxu05sXh
蕾是吸血鬼！根本不能照到陽光啊！534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTDhORCsMm
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTavrb12I45
「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。534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXP0P91anzg
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzx9U6mm6iF
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。534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBKOFHw9Z8
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBREOnHhZ2
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。534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5wOupUqnl
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgwMblQOrk
那男人……不，「姊夫」一開始時，根本沒有想要將蕾變成吸血鬼。534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bCTwlTnKG
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWn3nIU6vuU
（一切都是我自以為是的妄想與妒嫉。）534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCuhcr0oQC
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZ8tmZ43Vg
沒有愛，何生恨？534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6yZirqDZf
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHg71GOoIAq
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。534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvxcwZz5uK
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0uHk8z5eg
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。534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvn7a49zezz
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgd1LcEj3j
「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。534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqB6Nor1oY
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVUJmHR97Q
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。534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr33BmJ5xZD
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJgGiwXiLC
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。534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm78GZyI0NI
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92arFmnP3g
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。534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3hUJvRY6J
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkaEE8z8XHt
好不容易才走到閣樓，窗戶卻被木板釘死。534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Io2aYfBxT
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI70NspzB8T
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。534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTqYhnVwlZ
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdanGuWNqjo
「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。534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6sMEWSBKS
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRSPnN8sYd
「姊姊……」534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeC9tgAN1G
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH71FMUp7jO
「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。534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRGI6vwUUR
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiA5P0xe4ap
叮鈴……534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08Q7qkj07D
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9ujZTcE1w
果然蕾剛才拿的就是這個，所有事她都記起來了吧？534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3QOmsDz9j
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2O92STLQdc
茜佇足在原地，一句話也說不出來。534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCBL3H3CjD
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTE7XVfdfC6
「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？534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkT3AtCWfS
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPzvth4YDR
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。534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelk9CIBhW1
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7bSezFiMM
是被光線迷惑嗎？蕾見到了，見到了如空氣般透明的他。534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDkyTpGUgM
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQmICkBDEe
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。534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVI77bFQHZ
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZwIxtN1Ax
「不要啊！姊姊！」茜悲傷的尖叫，令蕾稍微回頭。534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7S7PT6xtP
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Jbn4U9E5k
可惜太遲了。534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVHipBs9wq
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pBTM34Txy
蕾對茜露出一抹溫暖的微笑後，就縱身到窗外。534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMePTE6OInO
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdAYwXjbVq
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。534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUAOCrfNwr
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeq5ih2D0ua
「太好了，我們終於——」蕾無法說畢的話，化作輕煙。534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFo42u2fh4
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPxllpB2L4
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。534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8BSPRpUzD
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIZwiMPbBf
「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。
