安娜的步伐很快。根本不是一個五歲女孩應有的速度。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQ7I7dRvPF
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZPid7W96C
一絲不安掠過。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIBoiPeT5o
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzS8ZpPr2k8
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。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgd4iVZnj2t
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwAJTY9oRC
「安娜，不如我們休息一會，好嗎？」我氣喘如牛。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvvAhc6xyR
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7JvNnknSH
她停下腳步，回頭冷眼望我。「好的。」531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDqv9V0RWC
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosPPLidUq9
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。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6io4oUU21
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwDVTbJpy3
不寒而慄。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtjxHZ9ABA
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eAfvBLiW0
為何安娜可以單憑直覺辦認方向？531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGD1LpDjXE
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDa5e38rFS
難道她真的是傳說中的森林魔鬼？531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGy54bjZd4
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XGxk0ytRZ
「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。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZQFCEcjXp
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GSK5fXHuk
「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。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLq1f4xo6r
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvwree4s4j
「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。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GSqGrzFPu
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHevcZMTNpC
「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。」531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2L3H7qKcK
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYrzZMb44W
「湖？是否我要找的湖？」我驚訝不已。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9c4tg2Vz6n
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRmkVSoNlg
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。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1ApU3e6e4
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPf8fFK13x
「我估計是。」安娜不太肯定。「我沒有親眼見過那個湖。」531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmnmwFVKRh
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMzaaCiutl
「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。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNplyMgYjpZ
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacC79axFuO
「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。」531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvY7CtJitQ
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgm9AQEjlx
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」。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxMEDC4kpI
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2hMS5dqb5
「不用怕。你的媽媽定會信守諾言。」我心生憐憫。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7engjPCKMn
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqTDx7FnGB
安娜終於笑了。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFBbBqFeXn
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhI1OfRYSk
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……531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfZ8Xf0pBI
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSN1Lgu9QK8
聊著聊著，我和安娜齊齊於大樹下倦極入睡。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqSLUy79Xt
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEu2IIOtOGv
翌日，霧氣消散。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVUHKizmvG
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImVuTRk2IE
我強撐硬僵的身體，勉力張開沉重的眼皮。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwz1aSabnw
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKGvvnAL3D
怎麼會有一個湖在不遠處？怎麼我們整晚不曾發覺？531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJDtCy93E7
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5BdirpAtH
「怎麼了？」安娜打個呵欠，睡眼惺忪望向我。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlf7qmyWpwt
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZE8IG7RUs
「你看不見嗎？」我指向大湖。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV26bEc8GyJ
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsfvRBUWwf
「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。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7e1mHhd7nW
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBV3tGImgIw
我鼓起勇氣，戰戰兢兢地走向安娜。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltTgBUCFrB
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpBm7T0UG1
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！」531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltLVYD0bCh
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUOoBQeQ3c
「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？」531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOVoIlHUvh
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeOl7rcqGZ
我四處張望。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwn7pF3XBwl
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAoB0v9IaL
濃霧忽現，籠罩湖面，一切景物均沒入迷濛當中。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIVr30ap2h
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4e8FUVzGg
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。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwmhBn5LOE
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbfifvug9z
「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。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxT59XjZg3W
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQi7RyH3ofH
「安娜！」我叫住安娜：「你要跟我離開嗎？」531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LuHhW36wJ
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQJjCpFiDc
「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。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61uGBdwesu
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTvDjYrWn8
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。」531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffarrI9mZL
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofhmZldAfY
「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。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLGKU402xr
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa81CJa2NIl
但，她會為了媽媽而哭。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNkF80VoBg
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddMWGuDlpc
「好……」我輕掃她的紅髮，以示安慰。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvevqQSdBO
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszvJyYFboM
我登上小舟，邁向矇矓深處。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYgsCIR0f7
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZS7VXOOwE
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……531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgUlYXfkxo
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sRwv2yc0k
「爸爸？媽媽？」我喜極而泣，父母亦激動衝前，與我相擁。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZG77LwIeT
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoqnLEYtZj
我飽餐一頓後，與父母和醜女們再次聚首。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHasdu76Qk
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRp9Y0Y9hH
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。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9Pg4JtVLa
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThtt9IcAD0
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。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqjiiuUM4x
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BCHzSD6qu
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。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzjWNc93Qx
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOBk8GEtuM
鴉雀無聲。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2u7WVRhhkd
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDHYJV9ZVq
我從女巫的神情察覺端倪。「你們認識安娜？」531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHN49KLrFcA
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0r2ZJBEgB
她們沒有直接回答我，逕自講起她們的故事……531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMszKkQpVtV
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzl1bdMAoTw
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。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4NRX83u5i
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtdwT9gsrH
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。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLZxWNJzBi
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXwkldvQIu
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……531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK28puUmIsE
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpiYTplEZcR
「為何不是你倆作『媒介』，而是完全不懂巫術的安娜？」531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyT9pcAS7ow
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimYurY07qM
「有哪個母親會捨得讓自己的孩子冒險？」531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLF9U9jEUE0
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDw0xhV16W8
「事成後，為何不帶安娜回來？」531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXgroYILzf
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnoGOBTIx9
「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……」531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtbh0RQsEA
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCBbKf5Pwe
「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！」531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0yJB6F4Zu
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNiuwUinOQs
「太遲了！安娜的肉身早已腐爛，沒能復生。」531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgdVA6qPf1
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXKneiegxI
「至少，你們該要向她道歉，讓她不要盲目等待，重過正常生活。」531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9hcSDUiDr
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhLqyLX7Zf
「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……」531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD99VQcSW23
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25vMegOVjg
「她是個好心腸的孩子。或許她會原諒你們。」531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxFcwVBGUt
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNV3AGyGld
「誰保證？」531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5halL47GC
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yxc8tVY80
的確，沒人能保證安娜不會發怒。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeCBnTRovA
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalmDtx8PRk
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。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESqhnRFObi
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qIIzRKziE
「不如，你馬上自殺，將真相告訴安娜，勸她重過正常生活。」531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YIB2wSNOk
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgiFoqqM3G
「但我們不確定安娜會否願意再次為你引路。」531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHokv2yMsCx
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqPDu6tNVB
「希望安娜不會就地把你撕成碎片吧！」531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDs531n2Xx6
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPw3KaVxjn
「裝甚麼大仁大義？你不也是沒膽量！」531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dtbvKYK7w
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdx0ukKtz1
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。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBGst74BpF
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QHYBgdQYs
「惱羞成怒嗎？哈哈哈！」531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmiWugXL9Z
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLzDi8a9xK
「你的父母千金散盡，原來是救了個小屁孩！」531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGyGgbp1Fh
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKWvOjPUZI
「世界從來不是非黑即白！」531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxR5qVh6kV
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Xl24d6SSs
「小子，你將來就會明白！」531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlnnxk5NET
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBZtrdesva
我知道自己徹底輸了。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZ0a8LZ6KI
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDsCqKIPnP
不單是敗予女巫，更是敗於自己。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NQqJIMsDE
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WEBxveJSc
我沒有自己想像的清高。531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBufraXOFw
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpCuVgvfF6
所以……531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPH9rzA0Ev
531Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVLr0AghBK
對不起，安娜。
