安娜的步伐很快。根本不是一個五歲女孩應有的速度。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4nuMAppi1
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XK7jFPexv
一絲不安掠過。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2518trwSE
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gbiZ3OZMH
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。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfNWTb8gDG
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7vz70S0Q3
「安娜，不如我們休息一會，好嗎？」我氣喘如牛。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5YfvzYlm3
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6udKfJaHp
她停下腳步，回頭冷眼望我。「好的。」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvgC3PUP5t
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rFayrLtYP
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。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfITLMPBoE
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamtfUB3uGU
不寒而慄。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaNeUjSMmg
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQT7dBK55w
為何安娜可以單憑直覺辦認方向？370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6B4WvBWy1l
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTjUaXWys6
難道她真的是傳說中的森林魔鬼？370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSnqYOaFmn
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXZHrhoAwy
「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。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFA285ndbf
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzH4ekuiyy5
「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。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfCqYaqG2p
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCDjUAeUq5
「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。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBboBsADvr
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBsqiE0Dtb
「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。」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wP8AvGc4G
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwNhTnYsML
「湖？是否我要找的湖？」我驚訝不已。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KbrCHFBz3
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwOw36xFCN
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。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjexsO0REdB
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RNRn9kOqn
「我估計是。」安娜不太肯定。「我沒有親眼見過那個湖。」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNu1V9gQ7w
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlIJwDTbOQ
「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。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1eAthlDjV
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGrd2YSTIX
「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。」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfCxT6Qnjt
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHs3w123Mt
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」。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHTOyqBR3r
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcImYwiUQSs
「不用怕。你的媽媽定會信守諾言。」我心生憐憫。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQmkpuAQ1G
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWzI8lQsiC
安娜終於笑了。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnEknm5JxO
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhqqVgQdaj
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……370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcZbNEKoXi
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VXUHf5cXd
聊著聊著，我和安娜齊齊於大樹下倦極入睡。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3R4ALtQHTW
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyj3WhluHOI
翌日，霧氣消散。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBSusjUxw3
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7Ar8sOiqF
我強撐硬僵的身體，勉力張開沉重的眼皮。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡom4xlsqz2y
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndACYkdWIb
怎麼會有一個湖在不遠處？怎麼我們整晚不曾發覺？370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjJTUKgnFY
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsfbBSEKDz
「怎麼了？」安娜打個呵欠，睡眼惺忪望向我。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtK42FhXhES
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKC9HmP6m1V
「你看不見嗎？」我指向大湖。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBZ02Sb83l
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9G62gtlbI
「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。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45PlFb5IPn
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVEVgbTifT
我鼓起勇氣，戰戰兢兢地走向安娜。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTjchcUOqy
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnjNcjcdHD
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！」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFC0PZgrtK
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOsop99PlF
「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？」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfbRoCsRPh
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5zubjHkqn
我四處張望。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vdgjB0jzb
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAPzS9yyl2
濃霧忽現，籠罩湖面，一切景物均沒入迷濛當中。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEb1QVydBjz
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyxtA65Cbc
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。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bdLJA24L5
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjH7ctOQm3
「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。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVxHfbAbIX
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZQZTEN176
「安娜！」我叫住安娜：「你要跟我離開嗎？」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWUTcfXa27
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8HDagKMzg
「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。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRZOX4Z3du
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGJ2rCEE9B
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。」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93ShNjuMUY
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wD0DeTYGx
「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。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7cAi5jr8C
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuugcDNXZ79
但，她會為了媽媽而哭。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0h7QH21Qny
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8h6dFcj7l
「好……」我輕掃她的紅髮，以示安慰。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrqYaLKEHl
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQWea2hZcp
我登上小舟，邁向矇矓深處。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCIwsya0AH
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7DcOQvviy
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……370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNJSLu0Xgn
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZryet7sr6
「爸爸？媽媽？」我喜極而泣，父母亦激動衝前，與我相擁。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvtpI1hi3Y
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdnROQvSU9
我飽餐一頓後，與父母和醜女們再次聚首。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauAuMbLN4k
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkinY8kmUz
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。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xOw9bLfAf
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMMpKMV1Uo
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。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqe4xP1Q2BQ
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJV2gPAcobo
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。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSS1na1UDPC
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡki4DMqWbpm
鴉雀無聲。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPJ8UVxPFv
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSJUMeXrQ3
我從女巫的神情察覺端倪。「你們認識安娜？」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFJ8GwRWCZ
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFuihwkUfM
她們沒有直接回答我，逕自講起她們的故事……370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsKh4DRKgq
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNFl2Vepks
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。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLx09nkoveD
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxehz5MMhK
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。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NVlNp27PA
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzycxfn4Yz
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……370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhisMuqK76
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJhzwRC5hE
「為何不是你倆作『媒介』，而是完全不懂巫術的安娜？」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdD97j2eTJ
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBgTf32gbv
「有哪個母親會捨得讓自己的孩子冒險？」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LpJf0nbfG
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVSYCE0AcY
「事成後，為何不帶安娜回來？」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtEszgyphU
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5001Uhbfap
「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……」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmKCOd08Tc
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjZlVXst4K
「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！」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHHEJXyAj6
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNf8yjvTMrH
「太遲了！安娜的肉身早已腐爛，沒能復生。」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKrkF6ozB7
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSsRyIbmAv
「至少，你們該要向她道歉，讓她不要盲目等待，重過正常生活。」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSiA8At01Zv
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECRBvvYa1s
「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……」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBaWwtnFsr
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfS1hNlNKJ
「她是個好心腸的孩子。或許她會原諒你們。」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUE9jsav2k
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JR5b9Qbgf
「誰保證？」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkaB2g6UU4u
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhxegpx90w
的確，沒人能保證安娜不會發怒。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLk1bjRRJG
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFI1lCIOkz
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。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyVVONkwkU
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EqpDllucQ
「不如，你馬上自殺，將真相告訴安娜，勸她重過正常生活。」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHJ7xWuHAb
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTcd6lkBGs
「但我們不確定安娜會否願意再次為你引路。」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGR420j8nH
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8QQkWYI0f
「希望安娜不會就地把你撕成碎片吧！」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4fDFUz964
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNRiXOTzZU
「裝甚麼大仁大義？你不也是沒膽量！」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdLE1DFy3r
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjTjcc6XYp
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。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkgnbd9IWS
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBUcMpJDQy
「惱羞成怒嗎？哈哈哈！」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFGCaWe8yV
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd11w6JexqD
「你的父母千金散盡，原來是救了個小屁孩！」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwB5FIYZ1ma
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4zwuncqbf
「世界從來不是非黑即白！」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLEpXDxxoa
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdTihTH2FT
「小子，你將來就會明白！」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OKH3QgQHI
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIF881sUXcm
我知道自己徹底輸了。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnVs7dZ00d
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4dS40JSQE
不單是敗予女巫，更是敗於自己。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwAKCLBg0u
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhYCuSyBLW
我沒有自己想像的清高。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCyYwyxhi4
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9C1GWMJS8
所以……370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGpRKRXqqv
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdiHWNLomIA
對不起，安娜。
