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。587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkvBWdzG6d
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAA4aTPj0v
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。587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJmzEpgEg8
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLt9FnVCnu
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。587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYPMSHTf29
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdg6ElyJIq
不，不對。587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pVAO5ILUr
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvRQlNqHmu
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」？587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xhupiEBf0
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95B26lRuQ3
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。587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuclPJF4yX
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHBupNKkPK
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。587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡde62EjmLU9
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Vn4blLaDh
說美女是稱不上，但總算是可人兒。587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnWIYjh3gq
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3aN2gXQSp
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。587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39kCjA0AVC
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDYZyNTAFY
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。587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEa5VKacL9W
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwx8ZgNeV9
「茜，你終於來了啊……」587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtU4Tl9my1n
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyW4iSvU2i
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。587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FuEMGFopf
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fVlFpjwxA
「姊姊，睡飽了？」茜輕輕地呼喚對方，也就是自己的姊姊——蕾。587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1pJBsfQpT
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeApmALBX7J
「唔、好像……是吧……我已不太記得了。」587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17hCVNBoet
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrE1VnYws2
「姊姊……」587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUQV70bY8I
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjEB1tkdYO
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。587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQsk39dSgw
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YyMVssPvh
不！她才不要！即使姊姊已經不再是——587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsRA1n4AZV
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVx6O9Dpz4r
總之，她不可能把姊姊丟下！587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RU46DMkk8
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzUdkQRlWz
「茜在想什麼？別不說話，我會怕啦！這裡又一點光也沒有……」587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNV7Zo0OB2j
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9bwBCtlP3
「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。587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaeCFI9xVdk
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvDqD8eGYi
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。587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TqGmc9XyR
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlngpSmlYtr
（啊啊，在我老死後，姊姊要怎麼辦呢？） 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZgSACYSby
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsPisId4Qd
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。587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptoIHkggXV
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvv85zXAxnj
對。蕾現在是吸血鬼，吸食鮮血的……怪物。587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehKKbYG0zx
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtdW6y6OXU
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……587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzynjqy9QQG
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOXb4IMzR6
（姊姊會忘了我吧？）587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqFPHzqOWV
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGyCGmU6OJ
「茜幹什麼這麼望著我嘛？啊！我知道了！是茜也口乾吧！」587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ydUS0tyZm
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyJ9uiGzCT
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。587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCWBCPqIjo
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiYkPW9C9h
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……587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNA1K7m94UZ
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKPnkeOK77
「呀、抱歉……這麼牽著手太累了！不如我直接入來，好嗎？」587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFh6YAUamx
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXYm0HXbPA
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。587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawor8UDLrz
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrzb8iAdGc
「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。587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04BKgPfqj3
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4p8qHgGdY7
（蕾記起當時的狀況嗎？她會不會恨我？）587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsZ2qtzXjI
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9W64tNOqH
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2rqzw5C3V
她們的父母早在戰火中離世，二人一直、一直都在一起。587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnukHnfvt3
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncYmjFxN7U
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。587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zPt9nSYty
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSUbPK1mpQ
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。587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOQphonAty
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSq1fTHd6p
「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。587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQz8EPcg2u
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDy7bWgtZG
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。587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDmUggVnuQ
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7puNnCs3C
直至某天……587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWhipFqg8o
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGLeyoBDa8
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。587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxXyLLKL01
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCuEhebsRu
只要二人一起，去哪裡也沒關係！587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTg8DfzyCu
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSFaVikqnF
沒多久，她們就被趕出了城鎮，來到了森林。587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW52tTsF0Xb
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKt0ZZflSk
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。587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SpkNPU8Ub
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOCE76GgsT
野獸在身邊徘徊，等待她們力盡之時。587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzw8IZsQWQW
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeG1pzydTpb
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……587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9FtJpEfdz
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYqG0nP03A
半昏迷的茜，突然感到有液體流入口中。587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAf34nhLAN
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVG4okahb7d
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。587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOidwIo42B
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UIlxiYVG1
那些，是什麼來呢？587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoAEMwzjuU
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4enLCJ0kD
當時茜什麼也不知道。587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVQd1M6Vtp
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NAfbgwcsN
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。587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXtsOwp85M
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHiWXfO9rmJ
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？587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHVkcqBYby
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixXf8BJxZD
只是剛吃飽，她就覺很累很累，沒多久又沉沉地睡著了。587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlmFgUvBud
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvl409ID46B
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFHq2wUKtA
「……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。587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡroDlrcRoNc
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSHHUBcV03
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。587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadUqoSVDAi
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTPlA2dodU
「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。587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xpgc7VSrr
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7La3bznFG2
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。587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡociEDfvVJ9
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWaLuudSR62
蕾和他對視，神色間霎然溫和起來。587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4ti90IB5q
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQiwrbt1MnI
「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。587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FB1ixhoeo
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJA4LWWTlD
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。587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKIZbLNTc7
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyae0EJ7Whl
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！587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRxNHNSpzH
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxHBNtffbi
「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。」587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4kSJO2Xng
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TxgXW5eu0
「哦。」587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFItLbzaRJC
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuld6G7YOZ
待蕾大約地把事情交代後，她就和男子一起消失於門外。587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTfWPkz6n2
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3BLIk72Cy
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……587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0j7WwqVlG
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1FEK81Ogf
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。587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4FlGA4GYR
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0lifZC2DR
很幸福吧？587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VYHYdLW7Z
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oVyk8u24v
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。587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SJvPl6R6L
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5GUbRNYW3
只是……587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQaVPlx6t9
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2QuYhIPFf
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。587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTj5FTtPQlX
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHA5rE7KClK
「晚安，茜小姐。」587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRqIOGI0SD
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwPTxR9Kf4
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！587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtaxAvlUhU7
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxw8MelIqLZ
「不用叫我小姐啦！」587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2DFhOaMRN
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JbjoAWvoA
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。587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WIJQB8GFB
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOADdo94EAK
她，只是想姊姊陪在身邊而已。587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjR2FAyGq4
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuYUc9DUnh
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。587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8N2a15FXBA
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4G50UOIpYG
「那個，茜……有沒有看過雙生花？」587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTl6SCiAse
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz84tfTmxZG
「雙生花？」587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0EyW0z1Di
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vaaofBqfI
「嗯，那是一蒂兩朵花的植物，看來就是很親密的樣子——」587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ83meMakHZ
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXF9GVO4Xit
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！587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIsVFsajaj
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nHNHM10bR
「那麼在哪兒啊？」587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aN5XggZas
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzZNX8FrXj
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。587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnofYd2aJB7
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjK3mofjvt9
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。587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFRpotEmJO
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTR2vlAVBD
不過，一切只是傳說，現在已經無從考證。587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR238bh2l3Y
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHQNBXW5Nr
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。587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYBKBuRGRk
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa96hYFpGA3
幾乎每天到來的，她可從沒見到有什麼雙生花啊！587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsBM0tkHub
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIipe3T08HA
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。587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoilR5ml1Ia
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6Od0P0IPV
「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——」587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVlDtyQo5L
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUykSp8kJ3
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。587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKozMSnvpt
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISb90mJRax
然而，是什麼地方出錯了呢？587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NWVcNyYYk
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNt1Fxh3Xf
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？587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAffqkIuENi
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHaxJpy7bAz
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。587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xB4D50GvR
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCueQhgry8
茜的腦袋中只想著——那個男人是吸血鬼！587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pueYXgUst
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtHGNyeFK6
會被殺！會被殺！587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ334TdWhMwU
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AuAMHl4Ee
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。587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7ECvy6S89
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNN17FLKvI
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。587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKsGkwSbDE
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgHX4vyXkP
只是蕾只說：「他是好人。」587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQlvzlsBsz
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoNHPDGQez
為什麼？姊姊已不信自己了嗎？587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuqzFvQfog
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJOoExfm3V
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。587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0KJ0yrVWD
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbOyqb7aLs
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。587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwoCUaz5PA
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BpEc8lXzD
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。587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTiI18PcrT
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhQlPmv7pt
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！587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGOFiKwymU
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5LIX3pEIa
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。587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuF0XJta9yn
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcVqGiFVOG
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。587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdac3hA1WMP
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmtSS5eFeb
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。587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qeI4eAHw8
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0DQShhMB5
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。587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKeR5nKcUD
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaI6skTS0e8
那時是白天，大家都睡著。587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HE82M0sqm
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQKznCs9Yn
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……587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVurEjplnLq
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjL2q3SY6p
一個又一個地被殺害、燒死。587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtVtJ2bH21
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqVHzUnOuJ
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。587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjjkgz5NvK
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryBF3IKcva
「姊姊！姊姊！」587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEJgJYjU8j
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJLtq5hpUQ
去了哪兒啊？587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3JzVn5zwp
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggpYfX39x2
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。587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGL7jknlGet
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nadyCqO1M
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。587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkXtC1Im6s
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqaGj92R9U
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。587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNb5n3USaZi
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMTwrJGZ2R
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？587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbyuR5X0Op
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Utg2t7q2Z
沒有，他救了她們兩姊妹，更照顧她們日常生活。587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHXNaNhFlv
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEF6qd5EOls
至此她才終於明白，自己做了不能原諒，也沒法去補救的事。587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPWPxdvmm4
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7i3XHHqZhO
接著，茜背起蕾逃出城堡。587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmthrPKngU0
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwO0FejDXqs
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。587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNG3JXYUu1
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNFjywwNhV
而在那時開始，蕾也成為了吸血鬼，只能活於黑暗中。587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcMrfeCUEd
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeqplwF5Xv
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Cfjj1wR6x
「茜！你又發呆了啊！」587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdGV9wgd1l
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlp2eJyN0WM
「那個、我今天也帶來了禮物！」587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO465FTFKnH
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3aMBctMzoF
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。587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwKaKWNIO1
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkeaUBNi2s
「這是什麼？」587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5g25dCbqZ
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEhwK5wyPl
「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。587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70qHfCSyKb
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtN6caG0J5i
一直待到早上，茜才和蕾告別離開。587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5g9PFZhCJ
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSUt80oezj
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？587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4t2816exiY
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1Y2DJJiM7
即使是短短的瞬間，茜也覺得很難過。587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjaAflmX8Hd
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4L1gTzDA5P
靠有接近永遠的心情，會是怎麼樣子呢？587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKT7dwyZpD
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrYxYLRCvh
想起蕾，茜只覺得很痛苦。587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9vfIOFS1W
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6kTWsuONY
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。587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTBbl1D3yw
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqr944ee8I8
不會是想起什麼吧？587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mN1gQoFpr
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDiZFuUzFS
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——587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuR0BzrE8t
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8zYMUpXAp
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvpoyqEqvG
花，開了。587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DjPNclJ4S
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBn4ePItplf
短短的瞬間綻開，也在下一秒就枯死。587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiU06KkOeB8
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItZCbkTptg
「姊姊，很漂亮吧？」587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFeDPFv4M5
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7u25ByJYd
「……」587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwyH4RdmLa
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRw4q83JxU
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。587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03PsNMZujf
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31wErJm7x5
「茜……」587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgB1JvjSMJ
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUc7zZWbQZ
「呀、是？」587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCkIzfwGzU
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9naGsyGLb
「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。587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Hs5tUHdfG
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwQHu2ns46
蕾是吸血鬼！根本不能照到陽光啊！587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nL3xl4z3f
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoge6g3CyW
「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。587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvozyYXO5xJ
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwtQ7x7nvd
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。587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHKTVox6Ug
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39jms2ruCE
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。587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeosC5wnNxc
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqudd7Cu4t
那男人……不，「姊夫」一開始時，根本沒有想要將蕾變成吸血鬼。587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBDI1Sr7oG
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzormnrqgh
（一切都是我自以為是的妄想與妒嫉。）587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXf7eSUYPf
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZFemhbyNR
沒有愛，何生恨？587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ghBwVuAn9
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yEdFdmRNv
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。587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk89vT19xWY
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFQ4y9TWZl
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。587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gTLaAQd5b
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfeNOiytr0W
「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。587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmaIossqSf
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zQyX8tzwS
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。587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWqLL7wFnp
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEDBQfcms9
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。587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKn9Yz5UxUc
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3V8AuMUIMY
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。587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fNEuATf8n
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlM1Zkgqxix
好不容易才走到閣樓，窗戶卻被木板釘死。587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7aFuDpvk8
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzqCcEdfrl
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。587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKn53cCVY1
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQxCHfCuYb
「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。587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKQoz81RQO
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLiXJRay4x
「姊姊……」587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRS2nvFSPJk
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwFTMwr9w5
「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。587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5kWCTM0Wx
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJNf8hE17R
叮鈴……587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrFCQA8veU
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjn1fauRJW
果然蕾剛才拿的就是這個，所有事她都記起來了吧？587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDu7DdrpNi2
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbSlyOwU0M
茜佇足在原地，一句話也說不出來。587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkTs0yQT9L
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDEQKCJfxg
「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？587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDQV1jWSdP
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcRS2PJUU3
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。587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVwRGDc9Nt
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLeVqwTOmk
是被光線迷惑嗎？蕾見到了，見到了如空氣般透明的他。587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3HdlXZ1yr
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzjPIUscJP
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。587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBa1gz111Sf
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKS9Weamj5
「不要啊！姊姊！」茜悲傷的尖叫，令蕾稍微回頭。587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6w3HJz8ZS
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk42okLe2mB
可惜太遲了。587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfyqP4O4kP
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRSxKikwyY
蕾對茜露出一抹溫暖的微笑後，就縱身到窗外。587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfEpT8xVY1
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrKCCZuO7B
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。587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZg4fOg0tG
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUyyIwakLk
「太好了，我們終於——」蕾無法說畢的話，化作輕煙。587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dOB1Cwwd6
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdL1tBhGfD
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。587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgfiaOBxgO
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ERg4Vc0jC
「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。
