滴滴答……69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6wIzbnRg7
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fiFCpx18j
回過神來時，是一整片的漆黑，唯一的聲響，只有不知何處傳出的，微弱的滴水聲。69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iEmEc2eP7
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1g1Hij3qiL
四肢彷彿石化般僵硬，他甚至感受不到自己的身體，全身肌肉都在抵抗著，拒絕被驅使。69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0phFn4382
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbiJTwl7n8
羅特注視著眼前的黑暗，足足呆愣了好一陣子——他沒想過自己還能夠活著醒來。69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZ26ptuwJd
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmAsbvvAC1
不，或許已經死了也說不定。如果是這樣的話，這裡一定是地獄。69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEjygHd97s
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGpnu4FiIo
喀啦啦……69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnOLpOiaFc
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUh6Apk64NK
一移動，身體就像被驚醒般，發出筋骨分離的疼痛，彷彿在尖叫著讓他不要輕舉妄動。69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FnsA0ZU3B
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCr7LDW1K6
但比起這些，更讓他在意的是——69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9Cu7IZnVF
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KQC9XDYO8
「艾拉？」69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92D3vTdNAg
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1KceIXKoe
他感受著懷中傳來的溫熱，低頭望去，卻什麼也看不清。69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXW8DvFMf7
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdoJsDmNSR
「……」69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2LsazwzvQ
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2szg9MLxbW
靜默的空氣滲入胸腔，緊緊勒住他的心頭，隨著壓抑的心跳逐漸縮緊。69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7FisGoui6
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPmbiKjiX5
一下、一下，窒息感在死寂中蔓延開來，他不自覺地攥緊了掌心。69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4Y09NP28A
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWvXOH9VuW
「哥哥……」69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmilxtBj9Z4
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKDQBgRGWD
艾拉的聲音宛如一道輕風，瞬間掃去了懸浮不定的恐懼。他不禁身體一軟，緊緊抱住了懷裡那具瘦弱的軀體。69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hd8zy2uO8
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjC0FIpU5N
「好痛……」69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lYwMZPnRs
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Hj5RwcmL6
「抱歉！還好嗎？」69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9x2ZfGZKc
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkJ8epo6Tx
「嗯……」69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CiD87bfrr
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2bIdjHjjH
羅特下意識摸索著腰間，那袋裝著緊急用品與「寶藏」的背袋，早已在不久前的混亂中遺落。現在他身上唯一擁有的，只剩兩罐擠壓變形的破罐頭。69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡms9rNw6qph
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1P6Zuso7Q
他扶著艾拉的後腦杓，小心翼翼地將她靠在牆角的石塊上。嘗試掙了掙手腕上的死結，將麻繩盡可能的拉長了幾厘米，但也就只能到這點程度了。69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUikLxjbio0
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlX9XwXkxD
「等我一下喔。」69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1pj6GY3OV
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB378oVXaj7
他半跪著身，向水流聲的方向挪動幾步，一抬手，果真感受到一股冰涼的觸感流過指尖。69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdqKOM0yBe
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1T7k78GxOR
「喝點水吧。」他捧著淺淺一手水，靠著艾拉微微顫抖的唇。69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujvgXEaviH
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0k9F25EsAl
是斷裂的管線嗎？還是地下水呢？他只知道，他們又被奇蹟救了一命。69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68TA93yTTd
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchgFKbgr3d
然而，後來究竟發生了什麼？大家去了哪裡？地面上現在是什麼情況？他都全然不知，他甚至不敢大聲呼救，生怕引來的不是長著兩腳的人類。69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuM76sQtQdk
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZTxrB3inj
清水抹過面頰，帶走了那股苦澀的鐵鏽味。69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7FqLc0kR4
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaL6mavCSZv
「哥哥……想睡覺了……」艾拉潤了潤沙啞的聲音，弱弱地說。69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX70UNAu3uS
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoMmWRYRqY
「說得也是……妳也累了對吧？」69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUwf8WW9Tz
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyjynjQNwU
羅特輕輕摸了摸她的臉頰，他看不清艾拉臉上的傷勢，但仍從肌膚輕微的顫動中，感受到那股乏力而脆弱的觸感。69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKcdwDxcOP
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRZqgV7DC4
「睡吧，這裡很安全的。」69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtsgzd0ptt
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhICg3ildS
他不願多去想像，對他來說，妹妹現在還能夠正常的與他對話，69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YhVxFu8Wv
就是比什麼都重要的事情了。69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUDRDv65vY
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PqQDYUjVL
沒錯，只要能夠這樣就好了。69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9J9fES38Z

伸手不見五指的地下鐵道內，連一絲光線也透不進來。羅特就這麼坐著，對著無邊的黑暗。69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdyX1ZVK07
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPdmL7AOwl
明明歷經了整夜的逃亡，此刻他卻感受不到一點睡意，在黑暗中，感官彷彿被放大了數倍，滴水聲、碎石剝落聲、砂礫翻開的細微聲……隨著一片寂靜的黑一點點壓迫而來，直至充斥耳膜。69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivKcYd6kZQ
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfRjoSyBPH
他的瞳孔不自然地放大，嘗試納入更多的光線，卻只是從幽暗中捕捉了淡淡的、不知何物的陰影。69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmqypJC8vA
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jIN9pzo4F
陰影的輪廓在他目不轉睛的注視下，悄悄地變化流轉，時而偷偷移動兩步，時而神不知鬼不覺地靠近，又在被他察覺後頓然消散，一道道陰影，彷彿在暗處窺視的鬼魅。69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTHbizH21E
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAXi17pAs9
他知道，這些不過是幻覺而已。自從那一天，在意外堵死的防空洞中被闖入的蟲族屠殺，看著父母在面前被嚼食，他就患上了這種毛病，這種不由自主，幻想黑暗與寂靜的恐懼。69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCuryOTWXO
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjqbRz4jzr
他知道，這些不過是心理作用而已，身為哥哥的他，應該要保持鎮定、保護妹妹才對。然而，全身的肌肉還是止不住地繃緊，呼吸不自覺地愈發急促、愈發粗重，沉悶的窒息感一點一滴地，拴住他的胸口。69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡim3cPFjNIj
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8ows9Ffj8
「哥哥……」69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkk84WNFxz
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6YXOqFvhE
直到身後傳出艾拉那迷糊而朦朧的氣音。69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3QR3ywm36
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQuBXADUEm
「你……在發抖嗎？」69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vZKENxzXN
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwffoQKlGqr
羅特頓時背脊一僵，這才察覺到自己不知何時已不受控制的雙手。69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkWHhiM7WW
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWC9OHoInJS
「嗯……可能是因為冷吧……抱歉，吵到妳了嗎？」他沒有回過頭，只是死死扣住了顫抖的手，試圖壓抑住內心的不安。69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmhhFeP96T
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGxbJ7K52i
他沒能說出實話，也不知道該如何說出，他不願揭開艾拉好不容易忘卻的傷疤，不願讓年幼的她承擔和他一樣的痛苦，哪怕代價是獨自一人，永遠守著那段悲慘的記憶。69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmq05FwGa4
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbSfxcFJNU
「哥哥會怕黑嗎？」69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI210bi9HMq
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqj1Hpal49
「……」69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLV2qnoLch
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmqG3coJX6
聽著身後衣物摩擦的細微聲，他沒有作出回應，仍舊默默地注視著前方的黑暗。69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ceYcbW6th
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXNGnBsbVM
「……」69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuE5iwuMRK
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQBmNyaHNT
一陣長達數秒的沉默後，艾拉終於開口問道：「是因為以前的事嗎？」69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1h3AKTBVVp
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQImxcU8GVo
「艾拉？」他猛地轉身，卻驚見一抹稍縱即逝的火花。69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQg6qXiSJVX
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfrbn7hnPi
啪……啪嚓——69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnW2BDw78L
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxWmGbGO4G
嘶——69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctWxxH7XwC
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPbze2810L
火柴燃起了一團小小的火光，微弱的暖光瞬間點亮周遭的黑暗，徘徊的鬼魅霎時煙消雲散，隨之消失。69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMikniGVbSL
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsjKVGz4s4
艾拉蜷縮著身體，將那支小小的火柴緊緊護在懷裡，像是對待著一件珍貴的易碎品。69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUYJAcvDFR
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBk4zys0ks1
陰影在那靜置的火柴盒上閃爍晃動，映照著紙板上那朵斑駁的、如焰似霞的橙色鬱金香，令羅特不禁放大了眼。69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpjrIVuY7w
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcV7J5Wqt7
「那個是……」69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiq59zkh3CG
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBs0W4xUssH
「這是……媽媽的收藏物。」艾拉微微低著頭，輕聲說道：「媽媽一直都很喜歡蒐集這種小東西，對吧？雖然爸爸都說，這是路邊隨便一個加油站就能撿到的東西。」69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcHeEa4KhK
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wVjWQ5gGn
「那一天在逃跑的時候……順手從媽媽那撿回來的。」69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHrAddjF92
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOBlhAFPiI
柔和的火光在她頰上映出道道光影，也映出了她身上那一青一紫的、令人膽戰的傷痕，但她仍舊在疲倦的嘴角上，勾起一抹淺淺的弧線。69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQQcFQYwPo
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmr2H6dop95
「艾拉……妳……」69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtP0GFhwNd
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbxmSNdFNJ
「每一次、每一次點亮火柴的時候，我就感覺……自己好像又能再次見到媽媽了……」艾拉打斷他的話，將手裡的火柴握得更緊、更緊，緊到火焰幾乎要貼上了胸口。69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrj3l5yTk0
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdx4k2ru8B
「每次看著火柴在燃燒的時候，我就感覺媽媽坐在我的身邊，在火柴燒完之前，默默的聽著我說話……」69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0EhcgNozN
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSrOn7gfeE
她的眼神有些迷離，彷彿視線穿透了跳動的火苗，看向了另一個遙遠的、不存在的時空。69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghzSG3oHf1
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2PnggiVac
感受到手心傳來的灼燙，艾拉輕輕拾起另一根火柴，巧妙地將火星傳遞出去。然後，她垂下了眼簾，細長的睫毛在眼窩投下落寞的陰影69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkHQhHRtIe
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQIjPhhLMy
「因為哥哥好像一直努力想保護我的樣子，所以我不知道怎麼開口跟你說……對不起……」69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwi98Qr3oz
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvfkpBmtVx
「我其實一直都記得哦……不管是爸爸媽媽被吃掉的時候，還是你拉著我躲起來的時候……」69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRoBnpLKXL
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hdGszMhtS
羅特深吸了口氣，雙手抓進凌亂的頭髮裡，默默垂下了頭。他直至現在才明白，這些年來刻意的守護與隱瞞，原來全都只是他的自作多情而已。69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡii7Bb1J4mU
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdYBP7V1mo
「這樣啊，原來妳都記得啊……我還以為……」羅特咬緊因乾燥而滲血的牙齦，聲音隱隱帶著一絲壓抑的愧疚：「結果到頭來，我是個沒用的哥哥啊，什麼都沒保護到，還讓妳為了我……」69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzgYmExKNa
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78ikiPo619
「不對喔。」艾拉輕輕搖了搖頭，她挪動身體靠近了羅特，用那隻傷痕累累的小手，溫柔地覆蓋在羅特顫抖的拳頭上。69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytxhj5Du8j
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqD8rjL11s
「就是因為有哥哥一直在身邊保護我，我才能夠克服那種恐懼感，才能夠……再次正視那段過去。」69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPP8bWwoaA
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJY0aAoSRil
她抬起頭，那雙在柔光中閃爍的眼睛直視著羅特，清澈得讓人揪心：「有你陪在身邊，我感覺……非常非常安心。謝謝你。」69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIcCa4e3mh
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQL825mytix
艾拉深吸一口氣，像是下定了某種決心，緩緩攤開掌心，將那個斑駁的鬱金香火柴盒遞到了羅特面前。69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgYXEADxIc
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQp291MwdRS
「這個，送給你。」69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9WCPvszJD
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4GgWeDt9W
看著羅特愣愣地接過火柴盒，艾拉露出了今晚最燦爛、卻也最讓人心酸的笑容：「如果哪一天想要想起誰的話，就點燃一支就好了哦，很方便吧？」69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqGdHo3rJD
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhNyBQ2U61
火光在狹窄的空間裡跳動，將兩人的影子長長地投射在斑駁的石塊上。羅特指尖顫抖著拿起那個冰冷而粗糙的小方盒，指腹摩挲著上面那朵橙色的鬱金香。69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXxIlBe4Fv
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHqto0Cr6B
「傻瓜……」他聲音沙啞，想努力擠出一個像樣的笑容，眼眶卻不可抑制地泛紅：「這種東西，妳應該自己留著的。」69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcU8EPBnc24
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RdhLRuQmr
「但我現在有哥哥啊。」艾拉輕輕靠在他的肩膀上，小小的腦袋顯得格外沉重：「有哥哥在身邊，就不需要火柴了。而且……你比我更需要這個呢。」69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7zLWoEr1U
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfyqHmTbeM
她說得理所當然，彷彿在這一刻，那個一直被保護的妹妹，才是真正一直守護著他的存在。69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCjJnQvtLI
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMq0F7UdX4u
「那麼……以後就由我來聽妳說吧。」他伸出手，找到了艾拉那隻冰涼的小手，緊緊握住：「不用火柴的那種。」69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDYmKnhijF
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbIinNsd1h
「嗯……」艾拉沒有回覆，只是輕輕點頭，帶著一絲沉悶而斷續的氣息。69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5MWpbHgPK
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImasdslQtr
然後，第二根火柴也燃到了盡頭，橘紅色的火星輕輕跳動了一下，隨即熄滅。69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWtoBl4B8C
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDRHIQ3fjk
黑暗再次籠罩了一切。69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeyeV82Xxa
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQuh6kpED9U
但這一次，沒有那些窺視的鬼魅。空氣中只剩下一絲淡淡的焦木味，以及兩個人交疊在一起、平穩卻微弱的呼吸聲。1234 copyright protection65ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmmSBnNKsK 尼
