安娜的步伐很快。根本不是一個五歲女孩應有的速度。421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS72HJBmqsl
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwhwZFdpgG
一絲不安掠過。421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCoRujMNfJ3
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP81G2tvNwi
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。421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQUaHDz5aL
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58mPcyQ9x7
「安娜，不如我們休息一會，好嗎？」我氣喘如牛。421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfzdwcu53d
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGd3K4rqFRr
她停下腳步，回頭冷眼望我。「好的。」421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgejp9ydLm
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUVNSCvdvU
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。421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrj63XknM4
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrhWRb86nA
不寒而慄。421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYKc0DDQqN
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoc07Az7rP
為何安娜可以單憑直覺辦認方向？421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxZHRlsS08
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQSAE75VAj
難道她真的是傳說中的森林魔鬼？421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqajg8kY2Fa
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOl74OtjSm
「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。421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtC78MXzulF
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tp3mobQyB
「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。421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KNDhLdQvn
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRaQmueZ4t
「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。421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnHt5GVCLU
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnQuPpD6K7
「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。」421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IOH6uSpFU
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBixcq1mfaw
「湖？是否我要找的湖？」我驚訝不已。421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvPFaL0yxZ
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRE1LnqIej
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。421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePDK1vyWI0
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFA0K8MbK1r
「我估計是。」安娜不太肯定。「我沒有親眼見過那個湖。」421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGhBEhbh54
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKeBjlb8YSG
「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。421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYG7JE6uzf
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWz1KY2P6aR
「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。」421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDswSat5sKd
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYOncYQXBk
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」。421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybHyRA5w5M
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwrmOvaIVQ
「不用怕。你的媽媽定會信守諾言。」我心生憐憫。421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq67Stxd4VZ
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEO1asMVX3S
安娜終於笑了。421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqb2pEtyeeH
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQ9drjIoTV
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……421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdYlqwzqNL
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyGw0bkY5S
聊著聊著，我和安娜齊齊於大樹下倦極入睡。421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEdSf5ZJbU
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyUHhMNKLv
翌日，霧氣消散。421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUYS1FQsl6
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1pseqP0IK
我強撐硬僵的身體，勉力張開沉重的眼皮。421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOMCsoXlol
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMtSKCBHcO
怎麼會有一個湖在不遠處？怎麼我們整晚不曾發覺？421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvV061IqdFt
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5yo1bIcxj
「怎麼了？」安娜打個呵欠，睡眼惺忪望向我。421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtY1appmNo
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoGeyYH3u6
「你看不見嗎？」我指向大湖。421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdQn3B7Tj9
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCxl01r6CY
「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。421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfH7Bc16QXI
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOqP2so4dq
我鼓起勇氣，戰戰兢兢地走向安娜。421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhSIDlOwjA
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvk3hgbyU8
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！」421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHgCcdHdly
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MtJEngFdL
「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？」421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SHgsWmWfP
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeIjjynlSO
我四處張望。421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMIABiFbvR
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJyj4qvaFm
濃霧忽現，籠罩湖面，一切景物均沒入迷濛當中。421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQVooBq9FM
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7Jpkabc5k
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。421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvb4MyXPl5
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QnghwcIdZ
「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。421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzxVlKPOG4
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EOAtEh6gT
「安娜！」我叫住安娜：「你要跟我離開嗎？」421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20OY6mSL3e
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhI7adz6cH
「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。421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9spj8GdVw
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MrmsXwhCy
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。」421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOr9Yx9X6n8
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoP4HbRvmMZ
「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。421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0acgoV157
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZMiK2yU3V
但，她會為了媽媽而哭。421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOv34LkW9T
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejjePGwZ9t
「好……」我輕掃她的紅髮，以示安慰。421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZL7msOjZY1
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxpsZeFRpi
我登上小舟，邁向矇矓深處。421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBI4St5N0h
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYE8PUVpfBs
安娜的身影越益模糊……421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcJEoFU066
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……421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJO9y8jatku
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLBr19oV2H
「爸爸？媽媽？」我喜極而泣，父母亦激動衝前，與我相擁。421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyviZ9ogyrX
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3Cgy8mfXd
我飽餐一頓後，與父母和醜女們再次聚首。421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITqkUNBs5Y
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulBV2OfjkG
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。421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeTlQ9Tdhw
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ATMYtA6Pz
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。421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDDDu76Wi9
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZLGepdO90
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。421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14Ntddt2Nj
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTwQRomMAi
鴉雀無聲。421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvL6R63VeHs
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVUybHvcs9
我從女巫的神情察覺端倪。「你們認識安娜？」421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvlMyi7Dbg
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOCAUZgVjg
她們沒有直接回答我，逕自講起她們的故事……421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9igvRpUZE
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTfyl2AknH
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。421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQfu1sm4nL
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMTShu9IKV
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。421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3GvYUvPC8
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡku7cP4NKHe
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……421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCfFwRI72u
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VLGlBGfRW
「為何不是你倆作『媒介』，而是完全不懂巫術的安娜？」421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBU51pW6HI
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡku4BiR1lNH
「有哪個母親會捨得讓自己的孩子冒險？」421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckgzj8ttlp
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4IWAhY8MN
「事成後，為何不帶安娜回來？」421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5hSf9khmj
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡreucPv3KBp
「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……」421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwo5j78EhF2
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBbv4rlhDh
「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！」421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtBJZ9v4O4
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4ZUXpOmsQ
「太遲了！安娜的肉身早已腐爛，沒能復生。」421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbqbn6gHuD
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyby4RYvKNE
「至少，你們該要向她道歉，讓她不要盲目等待，重過正常生活。」421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhTiqgwivH
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmKJ2T5u2h
「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……」421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPtUPWbjk2
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbWeAKfgsO
「她是個好心腸的孩子。或許她會原諒你們。」421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBOYInb8cr
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFDJylOGXZ
「誰保證？」421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIcOw6FKAK
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkSJc97Hyx
的確，沒人能保證安娜不會發怒。421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNcT6jQegh
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00FRjUqvqc
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。421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zBfbDyHh1
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCGTEvea0Q
「不如，你馬上自殺，將真相告訴安娜，勸她重過正常生活。」421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJq6iGSEqht
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhSCLq4pmD
「但我們不確定安娜會否願意再次為你引路。」421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0k2o4ANVIu
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHt4Dpb2djF
「希望安娜不會就地把你撕成碎片吧！」421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwidMdkLoHk
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOj8RkCMSK
「裝甚麼大仁大義？你不也是沒膽量！」421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpybpArkLRR
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cL22GxTZ9
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。421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzBcH8nfOZ
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjB14FtcsP2
「惱羞成怒嗎？哈哈哈！」421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjp3yDPLf6
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpxuM0N0Nh
「你的父母千金散盡，原來是救了個小屁孩！」421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZABPgJMwdh

「世界從來不是非黑即白！」421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpGxfHXqfi

「小子，你將來就會明白！」421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡroVdetNL2q
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxC0VPYXwYG
我知道自己徹底輸了。421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdoZySY3AP
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSUYuJfMWN
不單是敗予女巫，更是敗於自己。421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LEwxRgZ5N
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GXFeBqMtx
我沒有自己想像的清高。421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9BDenQCmu
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIAN0wKDc2
所以……421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCHkkjt6jV
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULrkCklMAH
對不起，安娜。
