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。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBJWdAa4zb
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuzELj5CAa
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。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kSOQuCld2
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWahOf1pLM
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。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJJa46nr1o
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUaxJSWAEkJ
不，不對。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbeSLKjv5OS
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfzyg52ME2
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」？503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0uivhWjwr
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHUJLdpijE
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。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWi6rMQ9Ch9
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoi3rqFp2Ws
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。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpU9SXIiko
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4K3bf5C3e
說美女是稱不上，但總算是可人兒。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdDqpvPPRm
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIc8VvxPPz
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。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuqGXJXFAt
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYE62UBQkq
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。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRjATwbZ5q
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7chcdbw6a
「茜，你終於來了啊……」503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeohvqQUtOD
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82lnQmM5rd
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。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgurEYcmTj
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkYARxV2yT
「姊姊，睡飽了？」茜輕輕地呼喚對方，也就是自己的姊姊——蕾。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OedHUrIML
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcshEJwiFm
「唔、好像……是吧……我已不太記得了。」503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0nPF9zbEF
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWOrcWzBFE
「姊姊……」503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6HTbxUYRV
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjv5T3qhiXs
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。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFOHJKd1xp
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZNHqM3G8U
不！她才不要！即使姊姊已經不再是——503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMh0aZDmzN8
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6krga1klA
總之，她不可能把姊姊丟下！503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpPjll8Io5
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHL9Vy7GrjX
「茜在想什麼？別不說話，我會怕啦！這裡又一點光也沒有……」503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0Hvvql3wm
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzx3sNPRnN
「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。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyB9P6E7zr
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZarcChqMX
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。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcp3ibpbJaW
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsSQbbazpg
（啊啊，在我老死後，姊姊要怎麼辦呢？） 503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Fp7R5kjiQ
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmN48U7WCLc
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。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXiwh23v7Y
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJamKOqhoYC
對。蕾現在是吸血鬼，吸食鮮血的……怪物。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAl9EWPFnt
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkNo5V0D0n
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……503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JdaLOsJJu
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomTFQRJNsq
（姊姊會忘了我吧？）503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwzSjjjpCK
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMIVVjrsz1
「茜幹什麼這麼望著我嘛？啊！我知道了！是茜也口乾吧！」503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVekhiEqD2
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYag34D1FY
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。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43MBJJUdAe
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDZpFIvsX9
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……503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqr0D4RNTC
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2u6sHQhcl
「呀、抱歉……這麼牽著手太累了！不如我直接入來，好嗎？」503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kBjb6qKeO
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuiRMsfimA
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。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uuHlQ0AoP
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfn8Z4ZNGA
「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。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSzfiKINd2
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQTJ3gvB7t
（蕾記起當時的狀況嗎？她會不會恨我？）503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7XxNfRexW
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjIO1zEwoL
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvyff4WSuY
她們的父母早在戰火中離世，二人一直、一直都在一起。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHfnkHH8vY
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHI5wVku4x
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。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZcSN0vTpP
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MbbjRfptf
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。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbWXVua4NM
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVsn6kqlKf
「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。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwoguJJKwR
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldvhir3gaX
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。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzX18VO8G7L
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafZMESRDvr
直至某天……503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSb3hAT8SWM
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGd5V1yhGza
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。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGihyM1tDbA
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHgrKNoOCt
只要二人一起，去哪裡也沒關係！503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKJogytYa9
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVBuUvesrc
沒多久，她們就被趕出了城鎮，來到了森林。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEVej26MDw
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNb70LOGQhr
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。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNGVTeN395
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPklbyFiA9
野獸在身邊徘徊，等待她們力盡之時。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4veS1DEtS2
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJDrD5c5F1
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……503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDf6Hvzq7S
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5jlJAAbYP
半昏迷的茜，突然感到有液體流入口中。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqzEFC0scs
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJanaDhCr9
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。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqm07KgCHr
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UJBB1cCQq
那些，是什麼來呢？503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9etA9SW7aK
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kOZEtt84U
當時茜什麼也不知道。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSoa7KL5Ccb
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTe6ndaGdS1
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。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2RJ5gWiDn
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0N1M5ynNug
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？503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFgCQJ8Ych
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSesR9MskoD
只是剛吃飽，她就覺很累很累，沒多久又沉沉地睡著了。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRR6DDNQfP
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIzqM34uXI
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNRH93ULYZ
「……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。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnflKAGWR5h
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3dHEOonbT
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。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZSvPE2i0b
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0vBm7qDLU
「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。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqWY4PJFUk
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGT7t3SDvhc
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。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXQcPYVuSD
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVifJIxJkt
蕾和他對視，神色間霎然溫和起來。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWfa3yl7bN
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEm9qPNXoF
「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。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wtlZiL0UF
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcNC8MhnoW
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。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PpAA7jIM4
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLO9io27NeJ
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！503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxYQv9tBHa
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEPdSmh6US
「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。」503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttTVbtyaaU
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQEs5biMrd
「哦。」503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrc8JXeqCDa
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObvhcBVJak
待蕾大約地把事情交代後，她就和男子一起消失於門外。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZ6v72zJua
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXiWMECPoV
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……503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZO6GKD8gF
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WCECBYw0P
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。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGfl6a4GGX
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzObAjIPQK0
很幸福吧？503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uUjt7LTWA
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKE9YVnhJM
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。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWw0LEcB1X
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5Y3n03X5k
只是……503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1jOMLPgtX
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLx0NFw44w
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。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKp4A825hfn
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwHjdUQHze
「晚安，茜小姐。」503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nLzcTbRxX
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLIU00fWLB
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！503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqphCDfBhs
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3HvFmptvL
「不用叫我小姐啦！」503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2KS1DrfiH
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHg2XB04uW
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。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfM7N8Yg0eq
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6b49PVie1
她，只是想姊姊陪在身邊而已。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCLqVTJVnn
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEW0xbN7m8
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。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLc2Vy4FhoG
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJt0fpbYjk
「那個，茜……有沒有看過雙生花？」503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bKGjzpiZy
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYtbOyJ2a5
「雙生花？」503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo42rrBkmaA
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQSotI5prP
「嗯，那是一蒂兩朵花的植物，看來就是很親密的樣子——」503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSwWBGIeMp
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIjGwveJBF
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！503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhspzqQ0fd
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UUmnXWsgg
「那麼在哪兒啊？」503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrt8vipDRR
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTdhquJcMj
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。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqt4UrjczB
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivaSvm60ny
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。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZFxGztYPv
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzWnIcTnmd
不過，一切只是傳說，現在已經無從考證。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEfgOAsiSo
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHO8jAn4rm7
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。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbcdkBBZVG
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJl0Mlu52JX
幾乎每天到來的，她可從沒見到有什麼雙生花啊！503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkWF99C812
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8mz9grbBc
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。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAfywMTY68
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFABnk9ij9
「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——」503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWs5F2AfMZC
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwjDZDdPH6
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。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyPb4n7vlC
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeWRCyYdPc
然而，是什麼地方出錯了呢？503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjHbIj8WMr
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLloYqFcob
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？503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBiLwo8KUgl
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjlwwTv4SP
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。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4PkMI6Wkr
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJaEaPLvwk
茜的腦袋中只想著——那個男人是吸血鬼！503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5eSddKKHs
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gvrPWeOrv
會被殺！會被殺！503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKEM37W4e3
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjejYo5yJC
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。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqs4GjTEel
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xbC9OHUba
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。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RM24PeFgO
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpy7LwE9mWL
只是蕾只說：「他是好人。」503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkr3PNIMWxt
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQlrLJY41G
為什麼？姊姊已不信自己了嗎？503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEN7MUEpN1P
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubHjugsXru
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。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1l2QCtPzm9
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cwuzqlcix
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。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomzKdXLt3U
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2h5k7jN9dS
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。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35OdBl4kix
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkr2XGhFE8l
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！503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKv37HzqgX
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzih4eFfjMq
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。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuzqZKpst2
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LC8S0mBuf
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。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIU5BG8FPSw
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRk0j9oD1dK
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。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0g7P4K5px
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIcqgL3zJl
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。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUbld1adgE
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrEv9H4gKD
那時是白天，大家都睡著。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLQJStWU3l
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw53pPBDe8Z
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……503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUZXS4TnDK
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JtahcWSJ7
一個又一個地被殺害、燒死。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzrudHp2Nu
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAxdBDXE85
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。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FXsbeqvpc
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBSiMQdlEF
「姊姊！姊姊！」503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSMJdDS0Uy
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTCFHJCebo
去了哪兒啊？503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5bXAWW1l8
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTb3ak17K2
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。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI45QvlOkvx
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYSQdUdQ0h
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。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZy2EhQLTb
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7GC6nQfva
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。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPbIV5DO7l
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0bicYKO55
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？503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNcuZzlmei
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44FiFCXpqz
沒有，他救了她們兩姊妹，更照顧她們日常生活。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0YuEUSmOo
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwcVZo8Xvo
至此她才終於明白，自己做了不能原諒，也沒法去補救的事。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdjlo0DNXC
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhLDI5j1kF
接著，茜背起蕾逃出城堡。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwHWQ6pt1B
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNnn2QldsX
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。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQuZpnb23dz
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEae4gx6olV
而在那時開始，蕾也成為了吸血鬼，只能活於黑暗中。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbuEAiUohz
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69zXPOfEbn
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvfpULd9YC
「茜！你又發呆了啊！」503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6I9duecsZw
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYfnGVCViv
「那個、我今天也帶來了禮物！」503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMiUMQ1UEC
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJb65LTr6v
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。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNxPKHFo8q
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOes8V57ICk
「這是什麼？」503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPvgDSf6kQ
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSKZhMIAEc
「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。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXuzF5uxkq
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFam3hF2kO
一直待到早上，茜才和蕾告別離開。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYtgEXvHPI
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWM3neVaQmT
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？503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcVAFeAKVx
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEJyAlteTZ
即使是短短的瞬間，茜也覺得很難過。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsYlRzW11S
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtEDsjwYY3
靠有接近永遠的心情，會是怎麼樣子呢？503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarXXkq7Q2G
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkS583wOrXj
想起蕾，茜只覺得很痛苦。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97mVKnlYeF
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqtlBUQjEj
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。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxZChL27F3
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmE9fPJBuAk
不會是想起什麼吧？503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9XRQVU41y
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1csIat69y9
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——503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6kBgJJj9A
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAOEa0Xs11
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULENcUR6UM
花，開了。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9as7QNHOY
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0WGwGWmjp
短短的瞬間綻開，也在下一秒就枯死。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJm6mLvqlwX
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvbuL45obe
「姊姊，很漂亮吧？」503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAt2Zc56bf
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunrXFpHM29
「……」503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmpQhNEJwb
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwaOyeFLeI
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。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByjQ799I8m
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WYIdvafUI
「茜……」503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNrlAWLzpX
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5qi1bP3PZ
「呀、是？」503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEfqKOeCwT
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeCfObdH9F
「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。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmO2eDOMsm4
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSVSSiujG3
蕾是吸血鬼！根本不能照到陽光啊！503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpmU3atFR0
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdC4FMb1rt
「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。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQdwmEQo21
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLW3vs1gmQ
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。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrY5mp9UJOU
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHnMFHSc5e
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。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5IVsw19Yx
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVX1beAxTWt
那男人……不，「姊夫」一開始時，根本沒有想要將蕾變成吸血鬼。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82SN0bkp2e
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEN9YMNzWZ
（一切都是我自以為是的妄想與妒嫉。）503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gIOWOAJQ1
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPEHbDtGWH
沒有愛，何生恨？503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbzXBf9qDt
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4aK9WHjWXj
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。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYF1BrtkJdc
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYHjDF7Dyr
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。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9kWL6mqUz
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurKpXfMm1h
「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。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVBRLHCDWI
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmU24QJlVj
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。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dDZYcIhYx
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ECJZR1FJi
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。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgi5mRXmpjw
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJS4k3bZ9Rd
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。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQLurZn3JB
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqkgmQPnfZ
好不容易才走到閣樓，窗戶卻被木板釘死。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunqHBo2rI7
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnoAjjHzgC
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。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPqkQUmc3a
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXfVT8AoHJ
「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。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXZS5IlxU0
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKN1Ku1Dzio
「姊姊……」503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyOjPnBn6u
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbutbqD748J
「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。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNd7wP3Aa0G
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7B5S8mTgr
叮鈴……503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnVofvwwlY
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvfeKfJkW8
果然蕾剛才拿的就是這個，所有事她都記起來了吧？503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGayyCDTVo
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpx39dvbSf
茜佇足在原地，一句話也說不出來。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VQJBdkCpD
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHph0L6Npu
「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？503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvg8PdI7IhF
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8melpwRxcj
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。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUEMwfJ2jj
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIMfenJwnN
是被光線迷惑嗎？蕾見到了，見到了如空氣般透明的他。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCu1EFRLBht
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdmGGldlVQ
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。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YOuK3Scs3
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVxgHRfPwf
「不要啊！姊姊！」茜悲傷的尖叫，令蕾稍微回頭。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsPdT2tRwl
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTLFIGEeRz
可惜太遲了。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpItDI6Pk7X
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRbUgBZmAO
蕾對茜露出一抹溫暖的微笑後，就縱身到窗外。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgqfdSPFHg
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe62IQgYVb3
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。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL97CubDiD6
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorejwDDO1h
「太好了，我們終於——」蕾無法說畢的話，化作輕煙。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppHM5k5zK5
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8U2D6IvTNX
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。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8kl9wQpvr
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Ro6BDbnzc
「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。
