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。573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYRrertQRq
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFVND3veeY
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。573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2giUz1jEPw
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcEjZKIrMv
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。573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tYTqhP1ce
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzS9HiGRYjs
不，不對。573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtiv0wGH9WG
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq99Ta7JF31
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」？573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHU9yW7l3T
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYUBohCLVf
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。573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5ejYK4w57
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhO1PnD8VRP
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。573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3pL8JjyVi
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoGRPNFRjN
說美女是稱不上，但總算是可人兒。573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRJIUE1kW1
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzmB2JuXDB
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。573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4G3EykAPeK
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyWhNsfFHf
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。573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKuvkViaqd
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgD20KO5cXa
「茜，你終於來了啊……」573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7WFlhXPwv
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsF12dCmfA
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。573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFVSwfz9lZ
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8O17LgEMAT
「姊姊，睡飽了？」茜輕輕地呼喚對方，也就是自己的姊姊——蕾。573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UBOw5d7Ft
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3kJvGkuae
「唔、好像……是吧……我已不太記得了。」573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIA44B47xE
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yqbv4wwUq
「姊姊……」573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoXa4dX0fE
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1ii9o4TaK
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。573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7TaTJRifC
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtJjBZbReB
不！她才不要！即使姊姊已經不再是——573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHa375c3Gk
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfxi5zyeHP
總之，她不可能把姊姊丟下！573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3w3qyxuyR
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKDZK1ji7K
「茜在想什麼？別不說話，我會怕啦！這裡又一點光也沒有……」573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPijjA8gadg
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3aMmF7Nhg
「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。573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDU9RrhmTkD
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCwQZzIyT8
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。573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkt6lYbYJr
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnW3jUguv1c
（啊啊，在我老死後，姊姊要怎麼辦呢？） 573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNb9T9FoJiH
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45tFrz6sG8
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。573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfXoYxbWwf
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOvB5L8qJk
對。蕾現在是吸血鬼，吸食鮮血的……怪物。573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mMOOirzpO
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZQC1eSbox
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……573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjK1qu9pUQ
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZklIwj0gsw
（姊姊會忘了我吧？）573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgv8ngvEfs
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0qBAER0r8
「茜幹什麼這麼望著我嘛？啊！我知道了！是茜也口乾吧！」573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYX0Y1x76Kz
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfezyfqS3v
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。573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYKIwzKk3q
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAZWFxBQQu
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……573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡls143GMAdp
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEanlJmjzjQ
「呀、抱歉……這麼牽著手太累了！不如我直接入來，好嗎？」573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgv2xHYnZQk
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqVQn2Tnq7
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。573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3Y45yMjuM
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0pgWJpgCl
「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。573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLVl3gHC2i
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Yx6ci52Ad
（蕾記起當時的狀況嗎？她會不會恨我？）573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gZZIaendw
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLKDWORzUP
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpRYCeI3Xf
她們的父母早在戰火中離世，二人一直、一直都在一起。573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzM8Cxxp7pZ
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSovD6N1MwJ
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。573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0464RHG7W
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuC0tLGT8o
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。573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQepYAB9sj4
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzat9UCtSHS
「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。573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtJmr5bEE2
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkPTbBGOeM
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。573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvZAX5FChG
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kFn9BEE0W
直至某天……573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBqXEBuJca
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCbCj0bz0h
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。573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBmGPckpPr
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwmBWy6VAz
只要二人一起，去哪裡也沒關係！573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnWqYCTsWm
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7niNli7iTD
沒多久，她們就被趕出了城鎮，來到了森林。573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2d5RmmFWM
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzkOwpG0rB
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。573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Ahj2uVJ1c
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZUPcMymsU
野獸在身邊徘徊，等待她們力盡之時。573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡme9eAE4hEN
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVxVcWJlT4
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……573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2K61lgcq0
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRiNwgdmAN
半昏迷的茜，突然感到有液體流入口中。573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuUZjo1C2b
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmibgiQGSM
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。573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLL65gLM8Y
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlt045ZYmzI
那些，是什麼來呢？573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIetQI5GXkD
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoU1Ge9PN7
當時茜什麼也不知道。573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr78ZRs5UBU
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IgJ5iYMmu
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。573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNnTkas9c6
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡug4ZZYykuq
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？573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutPO5gK9oV
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uBK13VpTp
只是剛吃飽，她就覺很累很累，沒多久又沉沉地睡著了。573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVDIkEHCz2
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrxgNt5GUt
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBViXesjdr
「……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。573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyt7gvZLEQ
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡig3qyhIJge
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。573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOaWLEscZy
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrQeGdwbpT
「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。573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XZDU93MOM
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OgNU4mg7I
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。573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohSjyepQb6
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwj7tACS7zH
蕾和他對視，神色間霎然溫和起來。573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBtFTHSEDe
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNgFQ3ucWL
「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。573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZt652STqju
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRh9wClCDRB
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。573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUn5OCq4CaN
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1XNlHDBZX
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！573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVN5danYlsl
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEo0rQEhwl
「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。」573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCc9wHEamOP
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVO5l8IOQJ
「哦。」573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrybIcTmEb
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBcYnYYiVz
待蕾大約地把事情交代後，她就和男子一起消失於門外。573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUcv8sf1Md
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMVLJW0s2l
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……573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRf6LgSTC5l
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgiupeXP4L
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。573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNFPwSzie9
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMjWau8mNy
很幸福吧？573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAD7g8NKqz
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNUKip9PfM
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。573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbK732r0oU3
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡts10arHtUI
只是……573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlZybJP2al
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbI14fCUZRL
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。573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2nHzO05Yd
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0hzN6jTrE
「晚安，茜小姐。」573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPk3Uu0tzYi
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkNIfY1wHF
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！573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxm1x2RdNi4
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25a93HWNM6
「不用叫我小姐啦！」573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1l0EbyAFu
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTGFAKGvFk
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。573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCnmN9bbyJ
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjZ1YVpAcS
她，只是想姊姊陪在身邊而已。573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuNCsJ9l4F
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzSPKSijwC
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。573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpo6Nl4yyK
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgWXWIyN7r
「那個，茜……有沒有看過雙生花？」573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnf3AdPxTsP
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPYgx1BmCZ
「雙生花？」573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNQwGGR1OH
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8ggWmVTll
「嗯，那是一蒂兩朵花的植物，看來就是很親密的樣子——」573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOv1076S2A
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmhil8KYoZ
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！573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoUXMU9z9W
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIez2mGrknC
「那麼在哪兒啊？」573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzl2rUbhDs1
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4r7VBFKaEm
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。573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOUn8xbjf6
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8axrTZOPW
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。573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9EScWeKA5
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuc0twKBFY
不過，一切只是傳說，現在已經無從考證。573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EXGnTsq0P
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xetK0t6Hu
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。573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qQgiK8FSV
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzTz1f9AP4
幾乎每天到來的，她可從沒見到有什麼雙生花啊！573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYnHr6kFyP
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0TmTduGGk
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。573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdi4E5JRsd
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcPrfznppH
「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——」573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLm0MN9L3jE
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Uk5drd3gn
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。573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qgxudaWZg
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2lqqvlgUu
然而，是什麼地方出錯了呢？573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0iqaUOfvw
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOWXTc7jmc
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？573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBR52wQLfzl
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpgY4G7m2U
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。573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWh3qjbn11Q
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fubgthQoH
茜的腦袋中只想著——那個男人是吸血鬼！573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEtWErps2O
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzdILMI9gD
會被殺！會被殺！573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuRbVWA67e
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKeX9Jm06QG
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。573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiCuroBl2t
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3SXbDVhju
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。573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3I94RunTt
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxCQjJlqE1
只是蕾只說：「他是好人。」573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtwDpxVCC3
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedlfJXavE1
為什麼？姊姊已不信自己了嗎？573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJU4VBtjXRH
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZupuBqoTCw
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。573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJvRwEsxLe
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYTX8JseNJ
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。573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWvZmDiUg5
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdf5AicaGa
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。573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuE3XcUuyW
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUPlkccQGo
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！573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gBnBjqpge
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3oYpGRNJt
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。573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6dK9sgpnq
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYoQ8VLI0b
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。573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gdd7aJa56
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkWZwsojJi
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。573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctbY6whbxt
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rhbus1JFC
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。573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdHFYidsVF
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2nW3nVrph
那時是白天，大家都睡著。573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFcApvPqTF
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CpWuC0x16
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……573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cDn40w2FN
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJJHDinxG8
一個又一個地被殺害、燒死。573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQ2sbGLHc9
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCL29RNODh
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。573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdvu9QfRE6
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWzppQAgg8
「姊姊！姊姊！」573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4T1GRNUJb
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKLmzkh1tq
去了哪兒啊？573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Z2C09QAdb
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RSAXR1lYX
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。573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkaIcvkbax
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe77VJTzhC1
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。573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HV34fXWek
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZzBsq39Vz
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。573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5g8s2h1kx
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIz0XV83Yr
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？573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVKg7ozwrM
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4aOkv9c90
沒有，他救了她們兩姊妹，更照顧她們日常生活。573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tCTadLzy8

至此她才終於明白，自己做了不能原諒，也沒法去補救的事。573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaunoBeQP4v
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpbShV0JI4
接著，茜背起蕾逃出城堡。573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJyH7Wr2C4
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7BNRx5khs
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。573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2HpbQ6cOI
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJbtg1uT3Y
而在那時開始，蕾也成為了吸血鬼，只能活於黑暗中。573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSD7ECAB7Nk
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyeHCyRPuEU
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MwRw688Qn
「茜！你又發呆了啊！」573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbHv3TLD5S
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpMyeQZXTe
「那個、我今天也帶來了禮物！」573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmSD00uHBH
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDP4ZuoTJU
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。573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LlxcUHqpY
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQCEjhotFu
「這是什麼？」573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MqtAUsNHC
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7w3VehxR5a
「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。573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMYI1H6dap
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡus1x8WNa7I
一直待到早上，茜才和蕾告別離開。573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjfWVwaEDi
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDBGyDWDJi
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？573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkDrA53nYf
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONMnnw2ltP
即使是短短的瞬間，茜也覺得很難過。573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFUzkMEuwx
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAn9C1ghvo
靠有接近永遠的心情，會是怎麼樣子呢？573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWE6vUKDgd
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHTaYGsBdE
想起蕾，茜只覺得很痛苦。573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmA0LIv7Se
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLm5RqV7W1
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。573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgI0BY6Dr4
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2GrX5S92x
不會是想起什麼吧？573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdl8FdcyjPL
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Ui9L9Wel8
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——573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmIZapykXR
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5eRUxhGlh
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifDYgIH4Qg
花，開了。573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7y1T6e0jp
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWU3FbZZL1
短短的瞬間綻開，也在下一秒就枯死。573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVRHQFkWOm
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezc5tKE4Kx
「姊姊，很漂亮吧？」573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1bbYdz1Hk
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoYygy760g
「……」573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTpi3ZsHq6
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kcqyknRlQ
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。573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71H1ORD6EH
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRYP5zHf1r
「茜……」573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7frRMhojo
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDZAbbaUyY
「呀、是？」573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HRp4ApOOA
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPEzrmXH8B
「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。573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Ab69Zc3FP
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4R7M0H2TV
蕾是吸血鬼！根本不能照到陽光啊！573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmRjCbXbI5
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiC1u8cU0T7
「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。573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8wCvRHGhF
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNr8Eg0jUA
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。573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJk25fxpTq
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxS5lYKB1R5
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。573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGcGTDJ8H1
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5h1h0F0F1
那男人……不，「姊夫」一開始時，根本沒有想要將蕾變成吸血鬼。573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59WxUJcScO
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffvhjwIvqp
（一切都是我自以為是的妄想與妒嫉。）573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxX1QXroR0z
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJ0g9TVp5l
沒有愛，何生恨？573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnj7j0jeVg
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRwrNFo4Ph
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。573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGozeST2Yh
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UC1SFgjsv
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。573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7S2d1n01Ol
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGu2fT1YEl
「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。573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzrjO7qO4D
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmieI1XlT9t
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。573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nFAyjVCtx
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuaMhOeBLQ
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。573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfplpgAhktE
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3K6giKfV1
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。573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJr0tAMwrm
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhx9aSnODS
好不容易才走到閣樓，窗戶卻被木板釘死。573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNQTgj3Epf
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QSg3YHWeO
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。573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ45l8aK15X
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvEYSmChe9
「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。573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLZGeQYkyS
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJidolLsff4
「姊姊……」573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdw2zih8ed9
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYVwKM5FKt
「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。573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxC95z3ktUz
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjLg8HcPsg
叮鈴……573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUq652n5rx
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyopC9yf1QF
果然蕾剛才拿的就是這個，所有事她都記起來了吧？573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Nw3KF1rDI
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIQqdo2nEi
茜佇足在原地，一句話也說不出來。573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1r1pGMqIc7
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRHvK3tfCs
「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？573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUNGSg7Jgw
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuiFH8HzHmD
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。573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NfbL258up
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIu1CtQA7Ng
是被光線迷惑嗎？蕾見到了，見到了如空氣般透明的他。573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHIceC0Bdk
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchOlbCy2ZA
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。573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFHfPZpiAG
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBcFo3jy96
「不要啊！姊姊！」茜悲傷的尖叫，令蕾稍微回頭。573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NExhsfuTQ
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBN2wVynIV6
可惜太遲了。573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTImgUfWiK
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTpkAGdcwD
蕾對茜露出一抹溫暖的微笑後，就縱身到窗外。573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4V3293rR1f
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2vUYMjXBH
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。573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6m9klxdhEf
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoEpklryDV
「太好了，我們終於——」蕾無法說畢的話，化作輕煙。573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNniV5dXTT
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTTseqdgTw
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。573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14NIhDh69K
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6er2i3tEK
「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。
