安娜的步伐很快。根本不是一個五歲女孩應有的速度。641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrdq2ttELX
641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFDQER3OwU
一絲不安掠過。641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhd36tzPA6o
641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGvA6KP34n
村民都說她是個不祥人，因為她多年來均是五歲女孩的模樣，不曾長大。641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKG5F7jjJO
641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRPkUYbgs4
「安娜，不如我們休息一會，好嗎？」我氣喘如牛。641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmd7HBLdWyY
641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxn5PRwfuq8
她停下腳步，回頭冷眼望我。「好的。」641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5Yj5poPWl
641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oTG3DOAgK
我們在一棵大樹下並肩而坐。我這才發現四周盡是一片迷霧。641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBgKLTj3fX
641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmS2OblQUv
不寒而慄。641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjTqX90txx
641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35nmOZetwo
為何安娜可以單憑直覺辦認方向？641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJi6UcESlT
641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5am3lUhU3
難道她真的是傳說中的森林魔鬼？641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNHc2rgDIY
641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmoOGu7XFu
「安娜，你很熟悉這片森林呢！」我嘗試套口風。傳說從無人可以活著離開森林，除了安娜。641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8xLDDTZQs
641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nozJG8T4h
「嗯。我每天都在這裡閒蕩。」安娜低頭把玩她的老舊破娃娃。娃娃是由碎布拼湊而成的，沾滿塵灰。灰灰黑黑的，與安娜的衣裝打扮同一調子。641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1ubS5EdNW
641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVAYYuJl6L
「為甚麼？媽媽不會擔心嗎？」我故作關心，目光離不開安娜的紅髮藍眼。全村只有安娜有紅髮和藍眼珠。我十分肯定安娜的父母不是村子的居民。641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMQuKHTPHH
641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnjGjesddl
「媽媽走入森林後，再也沒有回到村子。但她離開前答應過我，遲些會來帶我渡湖離開。」安娜將娃娃緊緊擁入懷內，一臉憂傷。「我日等夜等，始終等不到，所以走入森林中四處逛，看看能否找到她講的湖。」641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixYV54d7GN
641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiNRpwoVIv
「湖？是否我要找的湖？」我驚訝不已。641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡid9A8GSu1Y
641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8G9tTXcVP
一連七日，我夢見失蹤多年的母親，她要我找安娜幫忙，尋找森林中的大湖，與她團聚。村民說魔鬼冒充我的母親，想要趁機侵奪我的肉體，勸我不要冒險走入森林，也不要與安娜來往。641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WMX5C4mR7
641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNPi6YLtBV
「我估計是。」安娜不太肯定。「我沒有親眼見過那個湖。」641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ06LEvJxFA
641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTovTcEKzi
「你不是曾經引領部份村民找到大湖嗎？」我心頭一顫。曾有二十三個村民先後跟隨安娜進入森林，卻也再沒有回來。641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7t6jyNf8Cu
641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58CGnuDU50
「對。他們看見湖，但我看不見。」安娜苦笑：「他們都夢見多年不見的親人，但我沒有夢見過任何親人。其他村民沒有發過類似的夢，所以亦看不見湖。」641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYGwl7KBxD
641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXXQpEaK2C
一切過於詭異，難以服人。難怪村民都說安娜是不祥人。村民對安娜又懼又恨，三番四次欺侮她，想要將她趕離村子。部份激進的村民甚至曾以驅魔之名，將安娜扔入火爐。猶幸安娜死不了，爬出火爐，躲在森林裡療傷。她後來又拾來爛布髒布裹身，遭村民戲稱「灰色安娜」。641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRgl8HxDNY
641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiweTDLmOgy
「不用怕。你的媽媽定會信守諾言。」我心生憐憫。641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVnSWnd4HQ
641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVs0IQRqksh
安娜終於笑了。641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukjaV2A3GG
641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6HpXWsGF3
她喜孜孜地給我講述她最愛的床前小故事：從前，有一位灰姑娘。她有一個繼母，繼母有兩個女兒……641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1cS0NlShf
641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MeA1sQsB7
聊著聊著，我和安娜齊齊於大樹下倦極入睡。641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7iXzYmqxr
641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu165k1TM8s
翌日，霧氣消散。641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgloynMiqz2
641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHcv0P2fZz
我強撐硬僵的身體，勉力張開沉重的眼皮。641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mhX6yCoqP
641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFLBWlvkcc
怎麼會有一個湖在不遠處？怎麼我們整晚不曾發覺？641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjRm9uEWpC
641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7IL06u5Aw
「怎麼了？」安娜打個呵欠，睡眼惺忪望向我。641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGoZJ0oa1n
641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiIWEKCstR
「你看不見嗎？」我指向大湖。641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZK9YFGggY
641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXt1b9mtNhp
「湖？我看不見呢！」安娜意識到我看見了甚麼，不以為然。她朝著我手指的方向跑去，跑到我眼中的湖中央，腳步不曾泛起漣漪。最後，她四平八穩地站在湖面，未有沒入水裡。如履平地。641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5klKgwYnPG
641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWe431nT99V
我鼓起勇氣，戰戰兢兢地走向安娜。641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMD9JqlN5fJ
641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMaCnlcFfLs
沒走多少步，我的鞋子已被浸濕，雙腳亦感受到湖水的冰涼。「我沒能走近你！」641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBItGhSlvRV
641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54ZbuWxkFf
「你站在湖邊就可以了！」她回到我身邊。「看看附近有沒有甚麼特別的？」641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6v3vxY2aZ
641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAm5bkj7CJp
我四處張望。641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURjy1v6K3w
641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkiCWRYXaE
濃霧忽現，籠罩湖面，一切景物均沒入迷濛當中。641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1igkgvKa2
641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspDlk3R0K3
漣漪從湖中心擴散開來。一條無人的半殘小舟往我們這邊前來，停在我腳邊。「一條……小舟……」我被詭譎的情境嚇得半死，說話結結巴巴的。641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8EruMiUHD
641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fLmHTNhw4
「就是這個了！它會給你指引離開的路。」講解完畢，安娜馬上轉身離開。641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdWuUVwJ7d
641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8cQOAmuJl
「安娜！」我叫住安娜：「你要跟我離開嗎？」641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIaCoRczTLo
641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6J5OQ1UNL
「我看不見湖，亦看不見小舟，離開不了呢！」安娜以笑容掩蓋失落之情。641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDwTd4wHGX
641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36UMPKgmi4
我連忙從衣袋掏出幾顆糖果，塞到安娜手心。「我只有這些……無以為報。」641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk08MUsMdrE
641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUp1fRjUWBO
「或許，你替我打探媽媽的下落，然後告訴她，安娜很掛念她！」安娜哭著講出媽媽的名字。聽聞她是個沒有眼淚的女孩，受到村民的連番欺侮亦不會示弱。641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQG1uWFjYq
641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTX5RWRPTrL
但，她會為了媽媽而哭。641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6jLDk0ZJy
641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMrBff0AJn
「好……」我輕掃她的紅髮，以示安慰。641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGFmmgutK5
641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrwikhMTHf
我登上小舟，邁向矇矓深處。641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUUuTO90X3
641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcCQ5BuLff
安娜的身影越益模糊……
我睜開雙眼，霍地彈起。身邊圍著兩個不認識的醜陋老女人，還有……641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsWPOiSKUD
641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTjfWHB77Z
「爸爸？媽媽？」我喜極而泣，父母亦激動衝前，與我相擁。641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBsrmnewq9
641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9avEYtVfOo
我飽餐一頓後，與父母和醜女們再次聚首。641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrkpsNWmAW
641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLa8TWYbPl
父母說，我數天前遇上車禍離世。他們找來女巫作法，令我起死回生。現在，我還要多待在這裡一晚，觀察情況。如無意外，明天方可回家去。641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFllX9yRY2
641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WWGdj7m3l
夜裡，父母離開小屋後。爐火邊，我和兩位女巫齊齊安坐搖搖椅，品嚐可口的熱朱古力。641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkj5Q6pXNHb
641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33Hgs43aG5
我提及有關安娜的事情，希望女巫能夠幫忙尋找安娜的母親。641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8z9BQkKVV
641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq84LbddcOh
鴉雀無聲。641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPn53RvEYb
641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyppfOIOToN
我從女巫的神情察覺端倪。「你們認識安娜？」641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf380G8TUdp
641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqk3b5r2zSY
她們沒有直接回答我，逕自講起她們的故事……641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4JjSvVtva
641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAFb9xXYEA
七十年前，國家內戰剛剛平息，人民又要開始面對瘟疫和饑荒。641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvuTOIMhpD
641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XoDjJ8ygG
兩個十歲不到的小娃隨著女巫母親四處流浪，最後得到一個樵夫收留。女巫為了報恩而下嫁喪妻的樵夫，助他照顧親生女兒——安娜。可惜好景不常，樵夫染上瘟疫離世，餘下女巫獨力照顧三名女兒。641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjBkDhC1kf
641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXEeA1TEiP
四人吃不飽、穿不暖，女巫為生計發愁之際，發現村裡的富翁願意花錢招聘懂得巫術的人，望能將愛妻起死回生。女巫盤算一番後，前往應聘。她以不知袖裡的安娜作為「媒介」，哄騙她為愛妻的靈魂作引導……641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ211t58coxn
641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSCaeIimKM
「為何不是你倆作『媒介』，而是完全不懂巫術的安娜？」641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGfOXJbY1B
641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yAUdiZIS2
「有哪個母親會捨得讓自己的孩子冒險？」641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv27wDOASDi
641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QSdgqXDpw
「事成後，為何不帶安娜回來？」641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsaSO6paZdw
641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIiuZyDKti
「因為賺來的錢被偷光。我們只好重施故技，繼續利用安娜賺錢……」641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrr7k7v1LWf
641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6g0xFVlMS
「然後呢？又被偷錢嗎？你們不是活得好好的？有熱朱古力！有火爐！有搖搖椅！但安娜每天被欺侮，甚至會被扔入火爐！」641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvwsOcimnl
641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHk12l7r3O
「太遲了！安娜的肉身早已腐爛，沒能復生。」641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MmbDrpqhn
641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1C3VqOgL8
「至少，你們該要向她道歉，讓她不要盲目等待，重過正常生活。」641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD688U89Fow
641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiK3wmrkXlk
「我們……不敢……我們怕她受刺激後靈力大增，化為怨靈……向我們報仇……」641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLFVOAhEMQ
641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQ7FMKSSYQ
「她是個好心腸的孩子。或許她會原諒你們。」641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvfCFL6IYn
641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zQ73pCWz0
「誰保證？」641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXjHXyh4Tu
641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFtrLmLJBi
的確，沒人能保證安娜不會發怒。641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWC5gbOkRr
641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLv5eTvNU8H
女巫見我沒有立即回嘴，於是乘勝追擊，你一言我一語，把責任推卸予我。641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOu7MTMrSSY
641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUoyXDeaYq
「不如，你馬上自殺，將真相告訴安娜，勸她重過正常生活。」641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwF5Fn9xzS7
641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1ArVCs7Nz
「但我們不確定安娜會否願意再次為你引路。」641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwznsa78HF
641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LNgddQaMB
「希望安娜不會就地把你撕成碎片吧！」641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijUPhnCPKw
641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebrZQeQEYi
「裝甚麼大仁大義？你不也是沒膽量！」641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQssbuo890P
641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFJmLgTJi4
我氣得將手中的保溫杯扔向爐火，把搖搖椅推翻在地。奈何此等誇張的舉動反令女巫笑得彎了腰。641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0u17mYmyhr
641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gFF5zWBgG
「惱羞成怒嗎？哈哈哈！」641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6xc5dNsaD
641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0S3nIhj6M
「你的父母千金散盡，原來是救了個小屁孩！」641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4z21VTX3c
641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1fFC5GtOY
「世界從來不是非黑即白！」641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48Lcvg8I8T
641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiti66UnjhI
「小子，你將來就會明白！」641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvtAkKTaGg
641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKCqyGnoCS
我知道自己徹底輸了。641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jFt63UQIb
641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvx4u1i5kp
不單是敗予女巫，更是敗於自己。641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98tnKdRjiq
641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfPsGrmU8z
我沒有自己想像的清高。641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Y84foq16l
641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeeFDTNum66
所以……641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoaWsQct3j8
641Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3EQhcRgjR
對不起，安娜。
