安娜的步伐很快。根本不是一個五歲女孩應有的速度。299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgb56CUgSu
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgaoeeDpnv
一絲不安掠過。299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULQPfakDe9
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Pvxk8eFeX
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。299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYvGidASF6
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhMDpD76Nk
「安娜，不如我們休息一會，好嗎？」我氣喘如牛。299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2AFlt5GKH
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFi3SrKSl9
她停下腳步，回頭冷眼望我。「好的。」299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBODWqJpUt
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5onqqHcC3P
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。299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4R9iWFIxai
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEogtls1hj
不寒而慄。299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8lbYrsNKe
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3qrcd8uMA
為何安娜可以單憑直覺辦認方向？299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBeTi3RzOTq
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡburoqJ7udF
難道她真的是傳說中的森林魔鬼？299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JYxCIDTrk
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJiNDVDmavA
「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。299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZkU3tvKRm
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnkPdi0nDL
「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。299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpIx96faa9
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrEVw8371R
「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。299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KQ6GCqyTX
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdisZi5PT7h
「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。」299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdX0ulSuPs
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQ8TWnf730
「湖？是否我要找的湖？」我驚訝不已。299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfU0dQhAHZJ
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFaZjXdaq7h
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。299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmX6xF12iSm
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTBmzDQVPD
「我估計是。」安娜不太肯定。「我沒有親眼見過那個湖。」299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnuxDbPQYO
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FjqQRFaZt
「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。299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqitvPBXLV9
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjVtgn0m8o
「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。」299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo936460s11
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8F3i79ZsY
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」。299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DtYt4Q8lU
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0UZgks2eQ
「不用怕。你的媽媽定會信守諾言。」我心生憐憫。299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRaCnjGDI4
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcj4GHXxB8D
安娜終於笑了。299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2FiPTeAdD
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHXcyiD4qh
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……299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuozbNT3oH
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4twpVTyv9
聊著聊著，我和安娜齊齊於大樹下倦極入睡。299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahixgAAfj4
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZOaSGGEmS
翌日，霧氣消散。299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFE7EL2CM5
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmILYYdwx1y
我強撐硬僵的身體，勉力張開沉重的眼皮。299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPMsJ9EJSq
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6dILkkkep
怎麼會有一個湖在不遠處？怎麼我們整晚不曾發覺？299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ561TyKsQ81
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPM8prTsO1
「怎麼了？」安娜打個呵欠，睡眼惺忪望向我。299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMBhceJLlQ
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKw5a9pF1Po
「你看不見嗎？」我指向大湖。299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulWXkw8Yxb
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgb7FqhOmT
「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。299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsWvvcjg3q
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtgXNHREZ1
我鼓起勇氣，戰戰兢兢地走向安娜。299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kp3F58Nkc
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUaJWPkaLk
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！」299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Kwa97w1D0
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3eCUykWIa
「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？」299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNqSF1xnkW
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4X9h7HJlK4
我四處張望。299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4B3wFf1GHO
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yhJjoErmp
濃霧忽現，籠罩湖面，一切景物均沒入迷濛當中。299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKELU1llbfI
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pyWWK3wB2
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。299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32Q1Guvl5B
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxPddxMxat
「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。299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYpgUHlG5c
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcpQ1qJkmr
「安娜！」我叫住安娜：「你要跟我離開嗎？」299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ghqPLD1vq
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnKdwLUCUY
「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。299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsnbjaKpWu
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvtgLdJqPT
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。」299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYVHSGkW81
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMOCTGWMgQ
「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。299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHPIwByx8b
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdkvNVNMYE
但，她會為了媽媽而哭。299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpz3RabX8s
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZupWXIN3pK
「好……」我輕掃她的紅髮，以示安慰。299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNjixmfjQh
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtWgNKH20l
我登上小舟，邁向矇矓深處。299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXreYKzp1Wh
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbHePMudrD
安娜的身影越益模糊……299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsxpOCXYBa
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……299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWnPt8NaSQ
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiVmodze5v
「爸爸？媽媽？」我喜極而泣，父母亦激動衝前，與我相擁。299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIt0s9yQRLI
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVK8z4MFre
我飽餐一頓後，與父母和醜女們再次聚首。299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4UzDfuegQZ
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI36cvVAF5c
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。299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikL8QgqRQH
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ881HV56kdn
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。299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2iikxUWes
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdAfwEc2cH
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。299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUIWjeWK8F
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhX3isVPCi
鴉雀無聲。299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsDnR2T4QP
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4HnLCWjrz
我從女巫的神情察覺端倪。「你們認識安娜？」299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsZS0cGsKP
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbz6Wgx0MjC
她們沒有直接回答我，逕自講起她們的故事……299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxpUNeSF3g
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGsMGW4rfc
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。299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCl8F0wLNUL
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOo49FsT83c
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。299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8papLBwzyt
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡte4FnqebZT
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……299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63eQqbClWy
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3UelK6eax
「為何不是你倆作『媒介』，而是完全不懂巫術的安娜？」299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5HgwMLQj2
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3SvvRioIZ
「有哪個母親會捨得讓自己的孩子冒險？」299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxNZy9LMit
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibl2xfhJPS
「事成後，為何不帶安娜回來？」299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QCvUrwjUO
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMaXOBrT7y
「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……」299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAu6QYeS3D
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXCRJVC2rS
「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！」299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5b8uVzvqo
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsDwdTodQN
「太遲了！安娜的肉身早已腐爛，沒能復生。」299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33JMkbWC0C
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6S2xVVA9so
「至少，你們該要向她道歉，讓她不要盲目等待，重過正常生活。」299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6xuRqKmh2
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtimUFtl5t
「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……」299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oH4B0RpSF
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡed72oWnmxK
「她是個好心腸的孩子。或許她會原諒你們。」299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLF45lBYev
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUSnSjpCdx
「誰保證？」299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFgNSYZtnQ
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZNQwjqSpf
的確，沒人能保證安娜不會發怒。299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8BM7Smskt
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzf29Akhjm9
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。299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYAHzEPfxn
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bfdtbvurV
「不如，你馬上自殺，將真相告訴安娜，勸她重過正常生活。」299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Xapywx52a
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMz5OghYZHs
「但我們不確定安娜會否願意再次為你引路。」299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauMki0Tikt
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOdtY4sdc2
「希望安娜不會就地把你撕成碎片吧！」299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSz7wcE2QDV
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRl0VxkLOu
「裝甚麼大仁大義？你不也是沒膽量！」299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejnhGGFvxg
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11k9wvAEoo
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。299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKCJT76tUD
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEMLynlryO
「惱羞成怒嗎？哈哈哈！」299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnw0LwrVT1C
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdqm5r9rdD
「你的父母千金散盡，原來是救了個小屁孩！」299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdBzAeOIht
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82QBHB9dWO
「世界從來不是非黑即白！」299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlM4iM9zaF

「小子，你將來就會明白！」299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtO7Rmpb9SG
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxUfrLDTbk
我知道自己徹底輸了。299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdY3zMgcZu
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uEoWCniRh
不單是敗予女巫，更是敗於自己。299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuNCtj3Csf
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9XO2QOem5
我沒有自己想像的清高。299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQWqiLUW2l
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIPXiUaHZm
所以……299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU58kNddpFJ
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26BwwKcWz4
對不起，安娜。
