安娜的步伐很快。根本不是一個五歲女孩應有的速度。423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVvjwBVs7b
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevMkqGaHE7
一絲不安掠過。423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE91yYNYS3o
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡka7S9qaNJ1
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。423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUc8MPzkuR
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXylhhFeEx
「安娜，不如我們休息一會，好嗎？」我氣喘如牛。423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEZaLJ39kv
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2URAgMa70p
她停下腳步，回頭冷眼望我。「好的。」423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDILGAR13xX
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbr9WR2K5sy
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。423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirc1vnM7HP
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCCYgywbhI
不寒而慄。423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5WeGRo3xg
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmG2qEZmGn
為何安娜可以單憑直覺辦認方向？423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmIJ9KFF1M
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBO6K3cMwMy
難道她真的是傳說中的森林魔鬼？423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEArdbufhme
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAr1lp7SqwQ
「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。423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtGJq3VtFV
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKqssFTVQo
「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。423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqKFsaaygI
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZfqEeLD0F
「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。423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMXKTFUdXG
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPqT6Yi4Vf
「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。」423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9B50Rv2Qb
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmnqi4lboK
「湖？是否我要找的湖？」我驚訝不已。423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtPFcg350l
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsxtOKucaP
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。423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyKr3Mnz7Z
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcqIgOeFcT
「我估計是。」安娜不太肯定。「我沒有親眼見過那個湖。」423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2q6INPn4Bi
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAWSgnhmYo
「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。423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7qJtKnZZR
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMnPwzJjQS
「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。」423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfe0gbHumvd
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHW28XLCOc
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」。423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfazKwoPA3P
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcoSABSk8Q
「不用怕。你的媽媽定會信守諾言。」我心生憐憫。423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfrhJRgF2m
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxKqxjTD4e
安娜終於笑了。423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlP49np7Su
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdbMRB4qnA
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……423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhDHWKFE0R
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyN1jyZzNq
聊著聊著，我和安娜齊齊於大樹下倦極入睡。423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCnR7DK1wB
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinRqpIw3bY
翌日，霧氣消散。423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6c93wao3a3
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDezCHxkkyF
我強撐硬僵的身體，勉力張開沉重的眼皮。423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5esMw1gUJ
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ519yoKfihf
怎麼會有一個湖在不遠處？怎麼我們整晚不曾發覺？423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYtBepx51U
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WKapAwGer
「怎麼了？」安娜打個呵欠，睡眼惺忪望向我。423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBPEZwhpzz
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYjm8BkN4z
「你看不見嗎？」我指向大湖。423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKujnAoMfR
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTOUT3voBo
「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。423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBDpHufhpj
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAr5Vg5ZO9P
我鼓起勇氣，戰戰兢兢地走向安娜。423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bQeoGYWEy
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVXTjZuAXs
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！」423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NJsUyXgwH
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdw39EkPcfe
「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？」423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1Qj5HnEvU
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7acTbhduwn
我四處張望。423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4f66NgHzD
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnCS6UlHKy
濃霧忽現，籠罩湖面，一切景物均沒入迷濛當中。423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xyJC9lM3e
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLI8ICiNVWI
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。423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQf9ZFu934
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjLNRCtExw
「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。423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddy2RdQbQw
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFOvfiO7iR
「安娜！」我叫住安娜：「你要跟我離開嗎？」423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhH8QaOtDEd
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10LglNVzNt
「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。423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6MjlPMHTV
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Xj7A0lNj8
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。」423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNuN1AoxzO
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfj95QGRpkF
「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。423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5pajPFeB2
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgmE1O2dyN
但，她會為了媽媽而哭。423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwldIoEpyYn
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYiWUNzle7
「好……」我輕掃她的紅髮，以示安慰。423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymplckYqp9
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKhOOTClX3
我登上小舟，邁向矇矓深處。423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSy4YkHTV0
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNKYkLkp7f
安娜的身影越益模糊……423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxNHEtYJ1D
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……423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNtp7mBO1n
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4ED8NMXDN
「爸爸？媽媽？」我喜極而泣，父母亦激動衝前，與我相擁。423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2r4xa8nVGG
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYqeYXP6kR
我飽餐一頓後，與父母和醜女們再次聚首。423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2bms0wuCa
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfayb3jui8P
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。423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSULnR0fKP
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOACutQSVT9
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。423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RRL9LLLnc
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOKeZdc0Wc
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。423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxjFDnMvR0
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFLkCGdrI6
鴉雀無聲。423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6phraKorII
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnTzqJ4Gwy
我從女巫的神情察覺端倪。「你們認識安娜？」423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuKpSitqmV
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnXjnc0dz1
她們沒有直接回答我，逕自講起她們的故事……423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76lzIv5SRC
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4C5PxQgh8k
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。423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlOIvwoVpH
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUn6o3CxeRJ
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。423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8rZI0l3sl
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPfwIHzQG4
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……423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVIQsxi5d0
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCqGZbbGEP
「為何不是你倆作『媒介』，而是完全不懂巫術的安娜？」423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCTUzxfoQe
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7UP3fkvn1
「有哪個母親會捨得讓自己的孩子冒險？」423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmHODZCezC
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTA160zeflD
「事成後，為何不帶安娜回來？」423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE64pXKVAIY
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RgdGvQnNz
「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……」423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMu8B5oD6Yo
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGB8MYwB4j
「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！」423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomafLbvF9a
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWUwFc1n5T
「太遲了！安娜的肉身早已腐爛，沒能復生。」423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM15RfI4Cz6
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CEG6htiTZ
「至少，你們該要向她道歉，讓她不要盲目等待，重過正常生活。」423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlopYZtKTxZ
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKPUkPRv2P
「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……」423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vKp2sDq7S
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWrBT8soGF
「她是個好心腸的孩子。或許她會原諒你們。」423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfaOUNoLimF
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡko6qidNDUC
「誰保證？」423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQiWekTb00
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqI6ZGeEIg3
的確，沒人能保證安娜不會發怒。423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDz29D9LSF
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkh5wHKSw5
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。423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDynyAeHmj
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKVoA2WUz2
「不如，你馬上自殺，將真相告訴安娜，勸她重過正常生活。」423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGT24Tbddf4
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5gdHf4w8r
「但我們不確定安娜會否願意再次為你引路。」423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJipTL6HTkw
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtJixAgAxm
「希望安娜不會就地把你撕成碎片吧！」423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmoBAyXDccx
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ckwIaophS
「裝甚麼大仁大義？你不也是沒膽量！」423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdbCHOcmOk
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ186wquoPg0
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。423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcmrIX6XxM
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBM3q1OGJsa
「惱羞成怒嗎？哈哈哈！」423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCPE0U97WQ
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVlCcrdfg2
「你的父母千金散盡，原來是救了個小屁孩！」423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HmHyJmbgd
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVHexkbB6H
「世界從來不是非黑即白！」423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yEbgChAil
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmMLHrsBNj
「小子，你將來就會明白！」423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrA1Pc9CAfV
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvp0Ltlqfu
我知道自己徹底輸了。423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBLGEzoxC2
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNm43ALYha1
不單是敗予女巫，更是敗於自己。423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqwVPiRjbc
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4WBGatKz8
我沒有自己想像的清高。423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tZq7WQSAj
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXllxsh4UCY
所以……423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxJfDMLxPp
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MJ8w0tcBQ
對不起，安娜。
