安娜的步伐很快。根本不是一個五歲女孩應有的速度。691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhK9LNTfgZr
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIo7rbtyTlG
一絲不安掠過。691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeG9I1LGiDs
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbQFsphpk8
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。691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5abNeNOdxm
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPo241Oe3Y
「安娜，不如我們休息一會，好嗎？」我氣喘如牛。691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VMeqhPVm1
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tgD8SgpFD
她停下腳步，回頭冷眼望我。「好的。」691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5qg4qBqnc
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqN6KXMoTV
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。691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yiO3XaWdT
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18CmDjpdlD
不寒而慄。691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgqU9yvVNK
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpE05saLbZ
為何安娜可以單憑直覺辦認方向？691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAvGrw6DcS
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmr1eV9EiJ
難道她真的是傳說中的森林魔鬼？691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7uhB1pNfZ
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xQCUDYoL8
「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。691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrN7mBMA9fC
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfr2PLZY09k
「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。691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh50xbSPrIg
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQG0iV9NXw
「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。691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4FPU98hRw
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wIdCE8diP
「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。」691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZY0kOaIZD
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hYsnjYtuN
「湖？是否我要找的湖？」我驚訝不已。691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBL0gMj0HC
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZkhxyUXY0
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。691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DG1xmM30p
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxzMczCr1W
「我估計是。」安娜不太肯定。「我沒有親眼見過那個湖。」691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHD5W5j3rg
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexVfx2onNq
「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。691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXqUbn4eMp
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjCTOgk3Tf
「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。」691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDj45OfepES
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkk8Avmgcbx
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」。691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GO2nJOgJz
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74T09b93Jy
「不用怕。你的媽媽定會信守諾言。」我心生憐憫。691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmvOgti3Qk
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡku1axxgrNq
安娜終於笑了。691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVR9jNreP8
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvPg0Sv9hT
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……691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZocC6QByXr
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4TbCHDOng
聊著聊著，我和安娜齊齊於大樹下倦極入睡。691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU69s2SC1Fc
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIOKwdKuDT
翌日，霧氣消散。691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpiR3udB7CX
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCe7yVRTgPo
我強撐硬僵的身體，勉力張開沉重的眼皮。691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELRoPzg7d2
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbRJcHLErE
怎麼會有一個湖在不遠處？怎麼我們整晚不曾發覺？691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvR7d23gVM
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpiLHhjT3T
「怎麼了？」安娜打個呵欠，睡眼惺忪望向我。691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnbtZP9xe1
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wvRVY7Taa
「你看不見嗎？」我指向大湖。691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAefGs7cBs
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtRl5haIuH
「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。691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BTvE3dHKl
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9fRegmWTy
我鼓起勇氣，戰戰兢兢地走向安娜。691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3B7A0XUtAB
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMrSxD0Ou2
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！」691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWwHP41xnV
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBMPu7XP40
「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？」691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkj5HDu6Ijk
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYvLS9jJlp
我四處張望。691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfG4xvizrP
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSMRGqLaqM
濃霧忽現，籠罩湖面，一切景物均沒入迷濛當中。691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUNud4NRyT
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtRjr2NxNU
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。691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNnIxPDHhP
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPU0AdfNE0
「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。691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rEYHqIAko
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHGLyxt5q0
「安娜！」我叫住安娜：「你要跟我離開嗎？」691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohtxKDmFhn
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQpbfxOs15
「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。691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIkrY25bFN
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnODX0kVQf
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。」691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEgX7vj0ZK
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TTbJyjN0Y
「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。691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpiTDKEh0xW
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvcF1j85zg
但，她會為了媽媽而哭。691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFC3SPCLoX
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwIpLNfQmf
「好……」我輕掃她的紅髮，以示安慰。691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHXTBF3Sr8
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHX0qmZcR8
我登上小舟，邁向矇矓深處。691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZyWCibYqK
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaelksI09Pf
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……691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTVbi031GX
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfi88mdq41
「爸爸？媽媽？」我喜極而泣，父母亦激動衝前，與我相擁。691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5D35JmCB5W
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBumH22XGN
我飽餐一頓後，與父母和醜女們再次聚首。691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvtSIcs7Db
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3jLoojN6a
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。691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVb2j9geHr
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWmRg7axiB
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。691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAV53iJWy6M
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPIVlU7t6l
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。691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXg4KnH4jbx
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tulK1EAfW
鴉雀無聲。691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6f1BBEguP
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRr5cz18Eq
我從女巫的神情察覺端倪。「你們認識安娜？」691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JHm11nfO2
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkw79HJgw8
她們沒有直接回答我，逕自講起她們的故事……691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWwduz5SG6
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4SzSaPe9W
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。691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3u5EptMCm
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPQ1ug8FBH
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。691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SrcB4l9oc
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4wdGRNPk4
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……691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEdEWqVVM7
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSsYavlM2s
「為何不是你倆作『媒介』，而是完全不懂巫術的安娜？」691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6Zy8OeHuM
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CkQjWeRGx
「有哪個母親會捨得讓自己的孩子冒險？」691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIVJR9vc2Q
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMrXoGq0s5
「事成後，為何不帶安娜回來？」691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrJVrfrINp
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xTIgIJasb
「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……」691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKAht1Xh6e
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgw1z1E8zRo
「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！」691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡco04EPOrMC
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWqZytvEH8
「太遲了！安娜的肉身早已腐爛，沒能復生。」691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7PBKHWJKx
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAkuywdDBc
「至少，你們該要向她道歉，讓她不要盲目等待，重過正常生活。」691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mYJIe9wbC
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpOXe2wdod
「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……」691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUOsHAFRT7
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3vgmmu9wS
「她是個好心腸的孩子。或許她會原諒你們。」691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ORoR5yVZJ
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsfKd3uVyD
「誰保證？」691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DsNfegT1t
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSsgh1Cooj
的確，沒人能保證安娜不會發怒。691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jumoSBCz0
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqcTI8gThK
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。691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcrjHlzFGr
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMwbgpgfzH
「不如，你馬上自殺，將真相告訴安娜，勸她重過正常生活。」691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOrsN47eI6
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSGQZtNXvW
「但我們不確定安娜會否願意再次為你引路。」691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZ9qfTufJD
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CNgDiuPKZ
「希望安娜不會就地把你撕成碎片吧！」691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJsV6hy2F9
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5YEt9eas0
「裝甚麼大仁大義？你不也是沒膽量！」691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodPSMfOiN2
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwGijJgCdj
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。691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTC4HUw645c
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLGhfJ0tQt
「惱羞成怒嗎？哈哈哈！」691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTI64dA89u7
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTO0T3Xm3JC
「你的父母千金散盡，原來是救了個小屁孩！」691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQuIJVF8iw4
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZbWTOzU3i
「世界從來不是非黑即白！」691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBblSrPOBO
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCgraCckmi
「小子，你將來就會明白！」691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKnoxG4pHB
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzVj1JHxcQ
我知道自己徹底輸了。691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ABS3P3yUY
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruZt7AAHpI
不單是敗予女巫，更是敗於自己。691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6aEPmKtKt
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qwQhtPm9N
我沒有自己想像的清高。691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBq1nZYwWbH
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTQ8L4VvKN
所以……691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDHVWMuS4a
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkFZtUS13g
對不起，安娜。
