安娜的步伐很快。根本不是一個五歲女孩應有的速度。743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhAgM0OEbh
743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUntFN2FKuN
一絲不安掠過。743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUtOZ5F9Es
743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJz1J4LmYgr
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。743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNhTIA6bAf
743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7x1mtAqOwN
「安娜，不如我們休息一會，好嗎？」我氣喘如牛。743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6X6bjjXxn
743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR13eEQqw7k
她停下腳步，回頭冷眼望我。「好的。」743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuareZH3A4Y
743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NkI3M42WG
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。743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmY3q7y1u3k
743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8TDnycssm
不寒而慄。743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbcMmOBdRv
743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6mbdgVVv3
為何安娜可以單憑直覺辦認方向？743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lanGdlpgm
743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6zQneRN4O
難道她真的是傳說中的森林魔鬼？743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIyW54ou1F
743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDEJdzU8Ea
「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。743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRM0tfdmpoB
743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGVr9Ij9oH
「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。743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8eO5wNs6zf
743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzJEygEHaC
「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。743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PXANlbEEs
743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDy2tEg9SXU
「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。」743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJmt7qWUF0
743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWItUvtluRX
「湖？是否我要找的湖？」我驚訝不已。743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡue8Pp6YCSA
743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuNuwECPAi
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。743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWll7JeFkWo
743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEU4qSXCWgI
「我估計是。」安娜不太肯定。「我沒有親眼見過那個湖。」743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBkir9pjFv
743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7Zdl4EyCI
「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。743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GufeitvDf
743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHm071uGYh
「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。」743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lV881cw5t
743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzrm7XqqPE
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」。743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcBy0PvV6W
743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczxpY7zv8r
「不用怕。你的媽媽定會信守諾言。」我心生憐憫。743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCS1fKAIJAJ
743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1J45NPqNID
安娜終於笑了。743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbJpDuFbtd
743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbYBG748XG
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……743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuTe6pgYHi
743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡur0yiU69YW
聊著聊著，我和安娜齊齊於大樹下倦極入睡。743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHJuVI4Zke
743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNiLmVHvd8S
翌日，霧氣消散。743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusACjoQGiz
743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgcJlQvHh2
我強撐硬僵的身體，勉力張開沉重的眼皮。743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMJyUOi17e
743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AExYPEXdS
怎麼會有一個湖在不遠處？怎麼我們整晚不曾發覺？743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTBmEsywtC
743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyMcGC44pO
「怎麼了？」安娜打個呵欠，睡眼惺忪望向我。743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bWslHI4Bz
743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLLcmOgFiO
「你看不見嗎？」我指向大湖。743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLO3R1P6tB4
743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkZUxWVhkB
「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。743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPAyTwhNb7
743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMv8A9Gobb
我鼓起勇氣，戰戰兢兢地走向安娜。743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00mVlbbKMU
743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPWOZ9IV6s
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！」743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBVC4KNEHe
743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50q9MuDWbB
「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？」743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTB0hqRE0v
743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGk5nOii9SM
我四處張望。743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxMwUpI6LG
743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTkReQYXvU
濃霧忽現，籠罩湖面，一切景物均沒入迷濛當中。743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtYXofQ6qJ
743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8ucigmSGW
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。743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8B773dd8F
743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijIHRDwEUq
「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。743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzXpvqBJTA
743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcVrFbSwMv
「安娜！」我叫住安娜：「你要跟我離開嗎？」743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xHQqz2oXq
743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DNtJjAi4p
「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。743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCk7hVb0d0
743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qlRzhWg6u
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。」743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR70bExcpJp
743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13s49RDMMt
「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。743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhbK3RFjk2
743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrvZ3IZMFl
但，她會為了媽媽而哭。743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡittguYOW6S
743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpTSBxqa9r
「好……」我輕掃她的紅髮，以示安慰。743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewXCAHhIYH
743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwR0kLRJrO
我登上小舟，邁向矇矓深處。743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMxIGGh0b3
743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmqA8rxbuM
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……743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfg1L2y5ql
743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FANdyYYES
「爸爸？媽媽？」我喜極而泣，父母亦激動衝前，與我相擁。743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDCjOayFKN
743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkf80iND6ZB
我飽餐一頓後，與父母和醜女們再次聚首。743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMP1gIUAJN
743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUp1QiBSk4
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。743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSrrAlOr2z
743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgYRdsexSv
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。743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGbq9FmKvI
743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PuRdkTf8p
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。743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScMTnk7FAV
743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhPm9m6V6l
鴉雀無聲。743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZ2Dl4gwQw
743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lTZoAoxaC
我從女巫的神情察覺端倪。「你們認識安娜？」743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLuiqfQiYi
743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHCXGVRtYV
她們沒有直接回答我，逕自講起她們的故事……743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbdm4QiDyJ
743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAGMs0zBGo
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。743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mKxX7JVyp
743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnb98EuIIg1
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。743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27tbUba1G1
743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7L85GOIOJx
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……743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMf7g6jvRJ
743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbVTjj2qN1
「為何不是你倆作『媒介』，而是完全不懂巫術的安娜？」743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6J0v96mgM
743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fUKSCYqx3
「有哪個母親會捨得讓自己的孩子冒險？」743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHMIXmcFh7
743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3A1UgDtkz
「事成後，為何不帶安娜回來？」743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJ01BtfSFh
743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdJh4XdvdK
「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……」743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FiIio5k7h
743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ781IliE9l3
「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！」743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73Jb3g01jZ
743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzmcBZp5tn
「太遲了！安娜的肉身早已腐爛，沒能復生。」743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDGPaVUeGU
743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPV69WSdUZh
「至少，你們該要向她道歉，讓她不要盲目等待，重過正常生活。」743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdF2AIj59T
743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Qs39IvXe0
「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……」743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAkAZGS11d
743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0zzlPxAHP
「她是個好心腸的孩子。或許她會原諒你們。」743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrv2gDwfSq
743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvR9fBqWGY
「誰保證？」743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbpy3M0d79
743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJ4e41ixRT
的確，沒人能保證安娜不會發怒。743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6eipWuUbm
743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIymUEfPAX
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。743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tBtjG2ozS
743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKQtsB7sls
「不如，你馬上自殺，將真相告訴安娜，勸她重過正常生活。」743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgUAoLMLGO
743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUCaaRnyBe
「但我們不確定安娜會否願意再次為你引路。」743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBp4ysd9h1b
743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4hksMxfhl
「希望安娜不會就地把你撕成碎片吧！」743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyo1Huy6sOc
743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxvtD55HG7
「裝甚麼大仁大義？你不也是沒膽量！」743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERGMg1dk8R
743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20O2B2npaI
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。743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq07a80Ykka
743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDExmrWq8J
「惱羞成怒嗎？哈哈哈！」743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1fvl7twyw
743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcAvvcfil4
「你的父母千金散盡，原來是救了個小屁孩！」743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwHDX76CSq
743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUoiKnvUwF
「世界從來不是非黑即白！」743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5q4BlBMn5D
743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4s36daxor
「小子，你將來就會明白！」743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdhX6hD3xI
743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SXTdUIF8l
我知道自己徹底輸了。743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7umgpR702
743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQryorfTb0
不單是敗予女巫，更是敗於自己。743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZeEByUNdZ
743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtpefIw381
我沒有自己想像的清高。743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCgdoHF4WH
743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOJ3AhqsdA
所以……743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiRjzVn7HV
743Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwZ1rxkhyA
對不起，安娜。
