安娜的步伐很快。根本不是一個五歲女孩應有的速度。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTNAMfD2DO
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqr2BLqsWT9
一絲不安掠過。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyRuEMsXxb
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0YXHkPhxV
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。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6SF70mE0U
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVsppN4PxS
「安娜，不如我們休息一會，好嗎？」我氣喘如牛。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9oGLBgU77
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEtYk4P73i
她停下腳步，回頭冷眼望我。「好的。」381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQCcGhlI22
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDCHvObW71
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。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MbHYwDj7V
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhO0xsD20sx
不寒而慄。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPFnSxl9Oz
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4xYskr4Ao
為何安娜可以單憑直覺辦認方向？381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBRQGWcFyY
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4r2gGNITft
難道她真的是傳說中的森林魔鬼？381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAP9VtvAqZ
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTP8TOeG6d
「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。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqu1u6eziiO
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZy44JJphF
「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。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPJmAMHSiL
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsu9Tv0PKcW
「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。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQ4bmhscwT
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5CE3Nw3mm
「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。」381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8Zz4qWPQu
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzrcwG8Kex
「湖？是否我要找的湖？」我驚訝不已。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcm26jb0KbK
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRl2v7f42X
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。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsBBqRm1Fd
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtlGCUXKci
「我估計是。」安娜不太肯定。「我沒有親眼見過那個湖。」381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZmmlsb0DN
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmI55rOdliQ
「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。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1S0CRNZ4V
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5NkGL4OJS
「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。」381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdyHe9PABm
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeS4XBaaZ5o
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」。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEsJ21EFxj
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rQtD5wI3G
「不用怕。你的媽媽定會信守諾言。」我心生憐憫。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDNd0SKEfC
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4AIhKNaGz
安娜終於笑了。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2etRFNT1g
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUQ80GWbcJ
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……381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTs2s1cTET
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwJstPrHur
聊著聊著，我和安娜齊齊於大樹下倦極入睡。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2A4Tj2mvD
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBw1zJwpMNq
翌日，霧氣消散。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFofCGSTvN
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUs2LYqj46h
我強撐硬僵的身體，勉力張開沉重的眼皮。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QfZiyEiNN
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOkb57299g
怎麼會有一個湖在不遠處？怎麼我們整晚不曾發覺？381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4ZoHJCuW8
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGzJfbJNIr
「怎麼了？」安娜打個呵欠，睡眼惺忪望向我。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7cAattOvx
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gpAkBE7d3
「你看不見嗎？」我指向大湖。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkC8LJRUZn
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkIrPqRnIu
「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。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV360oeUFiF
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfkxoOUKmi
我鼓起勇氣，戰戰兢兢地走向安娜。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2i5V4VXAF
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3P83PbIOe
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！」381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJUPbT3OO2
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhqbNIlABU
「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？」381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIT430dI7kd
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1wqqfK5h1
我四處張望。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImx78jliDh
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KB2PNgC8f
濃霧忽現，籠罩湖面，一切景物均沒入迷濛當中。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYvLSW27Gz
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7tLQDd7LN
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。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4czNrzVxp
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Bxq5aXLx2
「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。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfArebchxSq
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuyxvBJrWA
「安娜！」我叫住安娜：「你要跟我離開嗎？」381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFegAqX5OI
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LQ4xDWAQe
「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。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJ1gPX2dqO
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWU42K490w
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。」381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1V2K9fOpF
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8WJSgeWi9
「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。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSl2ABMgjWx
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQRJqN5d2r
但，她會為了媽媽而哭。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQHSiNU4MT
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwfW5O83Bp
「好……」我輕掃她的紅髮，以示安慰。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUxyMoaJ7a
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8WMkXt3ZK
我登上小舟，邁向矇矓深處。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzejYe3NNX
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfn3i1Z8CI
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……381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NM31ue3ug
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzns0VMkyWo
「爸爸？媽媽？」我喜極而泣，父母亦激動衝前，與我相擁。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5f09uZ5hyf
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGKB0Iu4y6
我飽餐一頓後，與父母和醜女們再次聚首。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuS2rq4YWOj
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3U1KomCCc
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。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwbHE7WKTP
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9SBDbR6WD
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。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpq9xtBN4x
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4XzKVNVSn
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。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1iisMQvsq
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuGhijctXl
鴉雀無聲。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVZUEUYxVJ
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIHulGfz45
我從女巫的神情察覺端倪。「你們認識安娜？」381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOi8vyDS8Fr
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrUimhrpYr
她們沒有直接回答我，逕自講起她們的故事……381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3hjLyzNOe
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDjRkNTP6L
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。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Jy6i5Z4Xg
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtZBzDRRGc
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。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPuSmyO0DX
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvs00LpvSsx
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……381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpJk2rWgRm
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgd1KTKVWD0
「為何不是你倆作『媒介』，而是完全不懂巫術的安娜？」381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXWq54uX49
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoA8rLcNlcR
「有哪個母親會捨得讓自己的孩子冒險？」381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgzWQNgJUD
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTv1H8kzjpf
「事成後，為何不帶安娜回來？」381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vSUSEQCAQ
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZRUs6vqC9
「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……」381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsV3BH1bqv
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHromcqe5a
「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！」381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMWeZXJwho
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2uAW2qvpP
「太遲了！安娜的肉身早已腐爛，沒能復生。」381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUugKb1BsC
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HVxyvvOAq
「至少，你們該要向她道歉，讓她不要盲目等待，重過正常生活。」381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQQDUE2enn
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSE7AfNrvT
「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……」381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjH8ljHfOv
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzXeT38tZU
「她是個好心腸的孩子。或許她會原諒你們。」381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqjD1Zs0yt
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2koxXyt9Y6
「誰保證？」381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzw9dqffaMg
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGDOe2jsjM
的確，沒人能保證安娜不會發怒。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bcL68oVuC
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgBvNoItII
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。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviQIa4u65I
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdngJjBemck
「不如，你馬上自殺，將真相告訴安娜，勸她重過正常生活。」381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0muK8NAoRA
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeU7BRR6YZi
「但我們不確定安娜會否願意再次為你引路。」381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUn88d3UgI
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQ9VTz5zt9
「希望安娜不會就地把你撕成碎片吧！」381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3e5UOnU4ok
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQXzWA1Hra
「裝甚麼大仁大義？你不也是沒膽量！」381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbcA9jpZV6
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzmjTFENvm
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。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXRtGtPlRZ
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoABU0twzfo
「惱羞成怒嗎？哈哈哈！」381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0oyocfXMIT
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLNGcHQXi6
「你的父母千金散盡，原來是救了個小屁孩！」381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OWRx4UmNZ
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChdvdcr9ux
「世界從來不是非黑即白！」381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrplJgQTv1t
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8fNrGykmp
「小子，你將來就會明白！」381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTRXYpxNRo
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBtNk1OtLH
我知道自己徹底輸了。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9LDzws64H
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolyvLlLjZ7
不單是敗予女巫，更是敗於自己。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXHbL9UB0t
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuB2fx92uN0
我沒有自己想像的清高。381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXuTtEq1nB
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMIdYlUXY7
所以……381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrJPYjmY8v
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw93sWEPP8t
對不起，安娜。
