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。576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkQKZL9s0l
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1EuHdm73E
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。576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZiGA6TGRq
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3Ku3gtTHk
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。576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShobzRzJFX
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvpaTVsjd2
不，不對。576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDeTkojBuC
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5A2NzfnnGD
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」？576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9HqQVe5Iq
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPJWqhOkps
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。576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGBkmnA1el
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bt30W3co0
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。576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgF0OFCcgG
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHqGGVqREr
說美女是稱不上，但總算是可人兒。576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpSq4Rd1X3
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dwVmgkhtB
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。576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiGIvOH2GP
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozTC5tCueL
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。576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8F55K4Wf1
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9TAgNpbDK
「茜，你終於來了啊……」576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9klk36TdX
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4PasETpTC
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。576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡss36KcxDdt
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2nAoXDzO2
「姊姊，睡飽了？」茜輕輕地呼喚對方，也就是自己的姊姊——蕾。576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOU1PPlJNe
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQQ0t7z2JD
「唔、好像……是吧……我已不太記得了。」576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWYS7UtGpe
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMa0bBY2l4c
「姊姊……」576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTd59Qvux89
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9Hk7Fk0X2
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。576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSHJ2yldO6
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU68W1adf3j
不！她才不要！即使姊姊已經不再是——576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0zr5QjKlu
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALLPcwHBcF
總之，她不可能把姊姊丟下！576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCyi4vFxrT
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2hKVFbw5U
「茜在想什麼？別不說話，我會怕啦！這裡又一點光也沒有……」576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwk7e6RSIKK
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7J4jg3nsP
「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。576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwx4LgAauf6
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5Kuw2Nquo
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。576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFGsu0qmIk
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vcrnmix8M
（啊啊，在我老死後，姊姊要怎麼辦呢？） 576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bSYzmyPKO
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZedS3vqRJU
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。576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDF5Pmft5A
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4Dxa8zvnM
對。蕾現在是吸血鬼，吸食鮮血的……怪物。576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iOHHAY2OB
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgR1iUsm2zI
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……576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunDsEIEuGf
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4xoUa1tO7
（姊姊會忘了我吧？）576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SaoJCilMw
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkg2AbqQGFV
「茜幹什麼這麼望著我嘛？啊！我知道了！是茜也口乾吧！」576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazgvpGnQV9
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglOuk5QEbM
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。576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWwPUrN30R
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZB8HsqRm70
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……576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZX5GrOi1rX
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhunC0wVeyT
「呀、抱歉……這麼牽著手太累了！不如我直接入來，好嗎？」576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAR80n0B0e
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWhhFi6Cqg
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。576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcHNuNAV2S
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDV5qN7Lhv
「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。576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mFR7UtsH3
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAu2tbxGhYA
（蕾記起當時的狀況嗎？她會不會恨我？）576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdn1M5CtXl
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNx5fxnEVOP
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpVbj3WXNm
她們的父母早在戰火中離世，二人一直、一直都在一起。576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GMKD6AAuM
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNlGiW2BkI
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。576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2EAXlEzn2
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4zlBP0h4k
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。576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmxUfBudZL
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPJ1kfuLv1
「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。576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLw1RsDdgIJ
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRK7agJ5iT3
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。576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGmLiriw7K
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEAKgXbVTq
直至某天……576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUCMggHTGu
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4x3mWwe90
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。576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90gePkBePv
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5aRm7pmeCe
只要二人一起，去哪裡也沒關係！576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTHoDECJVx
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc50qXj61OU
沒多久，她們就被趕出了城鎮，來到了森林。576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxSfYSx9Mf
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzEkrDw6x8
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。576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTODke8p8Dq
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrPjqVkccl
野獸在身邊徘徊，等待她們力盡之時。576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjCgQQruhe
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKQ8xD1qtc
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……576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxa889ty3D4
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7fHB3D7jv
半昏迷的茜，突然感到有液體流入口中。576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkogihGTpqd
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡseNz4kDZ1e
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。576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dCggxhUEY
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1gFTTFmti
那些，是什麼來呢？576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHETvUBfJFn
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgiQzL1yrC
當時茜什麼也不知道。576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMFptH45su
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABXbCOWjbV
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。576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRM6A3IE24H
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSo8c4otDDQ
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？576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UcC9cPVpU
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSh27lFiTJo
只是剛吃飽，她就覺很累很累，沒多久又沉沉地睡著了。576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYljXCP3sc
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeXUXrj4RH
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvbE6W2TDT
「……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。576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTU5U5qYO2
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxSP6BjQcI
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。576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ219NpGJRIi
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCNW1zTk6D
「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。576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxA0nQrz7CP
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFiWLIh0bK
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。576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bBJjpvv39
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSo175SKMQO
蕾和他對視，神色間霎然溫和起來。576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1Km9YCvBH
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGmQmf5uMV
「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。576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygA49hsMgF
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1WGMt6DFj
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。576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jxxtM2LkE
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNCEZ27fVo
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！576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7A275wsv3
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrN8OM58RGs
「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。」576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdI9132UJY
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJX6hQYlKzp
「哦。」576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwfYFTQKTl
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHREO0GIAa
待蕾大約地把事情交代後，她就和男子一起消失於門外。576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGvTtnM14S
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXKCElkU22
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……576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmeHDgyXaVV
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iOq2Fhbe2
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。576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfXtP9YNoy
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQfEip4zKL
很幸福吧？576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6uoXKN7dY
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKybwebEx3n
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。576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxOxSLXbYC
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffMq9Mxhtr
只是……576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJrKtzYxmi
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgEfVYVLG5
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。576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoVZ1swTAu
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88E0sFWQxC
「晚安，茜小姐。」576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dtGSxxDsK
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94XrU6QsIl
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！576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LytP8mSEj
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycbKUVKpbJ
「不用叫我小姐啦！」576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgR1oBhSnk
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyWkYVV6Cr
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。576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRCrK83rom
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zCr6z833X
她，只是想姊姊陪在身邊而已。576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xpSAlP8F2
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyLZrl0czt
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。576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbKattkWKc
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtbEmbgREe
「那個，茜……有沒有看過雙生花？」576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8l102VNAr
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbooiANzdQA
「雙生花？」576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahY126BpJ6
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOkAnBbyAr
「嗯，那是一蒂兩朵花的植物，看來就是很親密的樣子——」576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcah2Pt746T
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZZoy5PbZT
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！576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycIJMgnwzQ
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZviH2WOZJw
「那麼在哪兒啊？」576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWur0K5TpOz
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFq88AD1YTZ
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。576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT48P4uwGNK
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE50WWZ7xr8
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。576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2n3Wvz7p5e
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedoNViDII9
不過，一切只是傳說，現在已經無從考證。576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkh05tftDl
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JjoppEKw3
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。576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYbkdEtxzm
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUgy4Q1aMj
幾乎每天到來的，她可從沒見到有什麼雙生花啊！576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCD4d0EuKmO
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPlmL3MIKq
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。576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOg590EuLHo
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJp4KSOkddt
「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——」576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡms9A1I4boo
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBjr9SMkGu
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。576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlDQKgEtq0
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ578XB7vxn6
然而，是什麼地方出錯了呢？576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXVeh7fg7l
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNQqQw6EM1
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？576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtBofadiix
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzpRiwywB6
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。576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTAOYViv3p
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqtP4bKZbA
茜的腦袋中只想著——那個男人是吸血鬼！576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWUAKTYydq
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3v5tV7Nmzh
會被殺！會被殺！576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ523mAGv5RW
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VMBuxY7bp
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。576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TjcC3YEmE
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgw0llaIEjg
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。576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxss7dcanDY
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3unIQPt0sr
只是蕾只說：「他是好人。」576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTy4I6qDht
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEQGnZ3wpT
為什麼？姊姊已不信自己了嗎？576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlthdpfsAPd
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcJ5QOw510
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。576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZDE6jJtGL
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJ0Y9VxNwJ
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。576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVh3T6D1L9
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6x2OsMKaLG
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。576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Ny4Eik9CY
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAea83EQPh
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！576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6evngMDbwA
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwtC6T0oA0
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。576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXv1QsqyOTd
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEfT1kKeXM
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。576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKPxPHduLp
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lVYJuAz6B
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。576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsFoAIOLEC
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31zO86TNyY
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。576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKSdXVYFLw
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyamwPwAF57
那時是白天，大家都睡著。576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWfi9U3Pst
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHEel8wwMy
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……576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtVnnra9V4
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadAaD7ooz5
一個又一個地被殺害、燒死。576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVy4nFhKLh6
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33WKQ7FxbX
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。576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfal5GqQsHz
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffG7p78OI9
「姊姊！姊姊！」576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdz1yCZ5mOy
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrkuCbmDOK
去了哪兒啊？576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRN51GzWTEW
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3zCkmxjsl
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。576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYm4Sndoryu
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvjvXs0ZkD
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。576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWorke7So6
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvS5qGDMpH
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。576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqRkjE6K8Y
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruAb4acvp7
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？576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgzSfosdlR
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLxbwTiF3O
沒有，他救了她們兩姊妹，更照顧她們日常生活。576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96hZpc5Uma
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUn5tXuLcJ
至此她才終於明白，自己做了不能原諒，也沒法去補救的事。576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mZuAKRs7Q
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzW8vOuhbnq
接著，茜背起蕾逃出城堡。576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQY6DytmAGm
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCul4ib44yn
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。576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzcQUbIQfK
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQxbhLFbjq
而在那時開始，蕾也成為了吸血鬼，只能活於黑暗中。576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6BMIaOq1l
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡei0zKugtjo
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCe98WqHkH
「茜！你又發呆了啊！」576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeDykH678C
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYqlkem3O4
「那個、我今天也帶來了禮物！」576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHskimv4Zn
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDL9qSaUKL
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。576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryBdRG12Pp
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvTAsga6N7
「這是什麼？」576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQzOHERwwq
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzmioLr8HX
「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。576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZU7OftwQDq
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPY7IktjmYh
一直待到早上，茜才和蕾告別離開。576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4yMZbas9Y
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXL9WvvKgH
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？576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3TGLU6zCa
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2zZ4DHGv2
即使是短短的瞬間，茜也覺得很難過。576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwihWYfXxzy
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODRjQai97J
靠有接近永遠的心情，會是怎麼樣子呢？576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUIukEOk4d
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLF3E7gGTD
想起蕾，茜只覺得很痛苦。576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeCJ9RIxvV
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8thdl7SbOw
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。576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUm53fLEbVU
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRg5cf4BC14
不會是想起什麼吧？576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhGC8GgNbd
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1S1mLcmMUX
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——576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIztFygdKc
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YFRmL18yN
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfx3ckbaai
花，開了。576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCzX7J0INZ
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pUVRhqK30
短短的瞬間綻開，也在下一秒就枯死。576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQslTolUP1
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZF8CCGn0Wl
「姊姊，很漂亮吧？」576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Gk7exZqmu
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkQJnGuyAS
「……」576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2xTPz7R4q
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhUXkIOUvh
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。576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzDGzNFdER
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwTW8s19KV
「茜……」576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzsqkUjOJP
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzY8Crn8AXz
「呀、是？」576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrUrEzb30R
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywzPejHHIO
「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。576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6KvRNIVd4
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGNRDHTWVC
蕾是吸血鬼！根本不能照到陽光啊！576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1a33biDwM
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBKHzC4SM4
「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。576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7A9RFoxffd
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbj3RHhVxNG
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。576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3z1CYfOioj
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSEOTtrVD3
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。576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7Sv3wChGo
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlU24iTS2EB
那男人……不，「姊夫」一開始時，根本沒有想要將蕾變成吸血鬼。576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYndRCVNP72
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNJWsOhDbs
（一切都是我自以為是的妄想與妒嫉。）576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6xPMIPSuk
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjU7Vg7EB5
沒有愛，何生恨？576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULF41wyRKg
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1D6J72iEFT
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。576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWngjGpg1N3
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4aPPFVoBH
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。576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9MplF7aWP
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamASLCo0bA
「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。576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSyAEq2zQK
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqxRlXdAXZ
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。576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSz6aQ1ubD
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqEoVKsAVJ
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。576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjS9LVF2kr0
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbp53ffinCP
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。576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSgd7M7v5Q
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87svf98PMQ
好不容易才走到閣樓，窗戶卻被木板釘死。576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpZg7xNAyg
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLpLQJZm7p
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。576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzqyrrB22F
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSH6Y7ieVpt
「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。576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfFAv1uRPZ
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wLR1vpecb
「姊姊……」576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJpJn870js
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNq3DhYjxcw
「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。576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwazA7IneYy
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqx3NDxgIO3
叮鈴……576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQidlDnLROL
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlDSOVt1NV
果然蕾剛才拿的就是這個，所有事她都記起來了吧？576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXGjt0Xw9S
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGwQAB97qa
茜佇足在原地，一句話也說不出來。576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKQTMew12P
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mVX4588Qn
「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？576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9p0bT6rK3
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUEaF8wg4E
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。576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Xzqxa31kn
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4wVONRcJo
是被光線迷惑嗎？蕾見到了，見到了如空氣般透明的他。576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMiMnJRi9a
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmX1HWUVNB
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。576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5shQ9Zfrz
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmx7i9TtsxB
「不要啊！姊姊！」茜悲傷的尖叫，令蕾稍微回頭。576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9REdFjbbD
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv48rbT9zdU
可惜太遲了。576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZrt4sYEVs
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHaBCTTjtT
蕾對茜露出一抹溫暖的微笑後，就縱身到窗外。576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMSKkz3qdg
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqOJpZucGB
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。576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjz8xc5YQjB
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDHynQAlem
「太好了，我們終於——」蕾無法說畢的話，化作輕煙。576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdAcqVEjcg
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNeUYLcCdA
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。576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQtwRwAS1u
576Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgcq387anK
「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。
