安娜的步伐很快。根本不是一個五歲女孩應有的速度。366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejABiX7cf7
366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYkSZ1Uc83
一絲不安掠過。366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTf8PNYDc5
366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHu6Udp0xAk
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。366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06W0I4N9Sa
366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarEkZFeoOx
「安娜，不如我們休息一會，好嗎？」我氣喘如牛。366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8S8r55juRQ
366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIeBoCnHER
她停下腳步，回頭冷眼望我。「好的。」366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡST7Mkgvi0p
366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99WntTd9lv
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。366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0r1VaXaRc
366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lVy0W7kS0
不寒而慄。366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9vTLWaCPo
366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwTTJD4LQE
為何安娜可以單憑直覺辦認方向？366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblDJJbOe31
366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAkC3eFVC1
難道她真的是傳說中的森林魔鬼？366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQenRfZCKfm
366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYiy1qpTyc
「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。366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUGmV0QJuS
366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnCDYSydAD
「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。366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdXjx7Ua5k
366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdJeWJIAsw
「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。366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4K4AGxO2j
366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJvo54kF8l
「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。」366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSV2xasZF0
366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsSy3zYS6y
「湖？是否我要找的湖？」我驚訝不已。366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6iauhocVO
366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWktG20SBl
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。366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDDLV669Uj
366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14ux70egWz
「我估計是。」安娜不太肯定。「我沒有親眼見過那個湖。」366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYxRpl1ilh
366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dbYjtNsEa
「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。366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItqv92rugO
366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1i6mYlXeNM
「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。」366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEf4svFS26Y
366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXHSnwn1Oe
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」。366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3y8VH3PiC
366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi56I1Uk43F
「不用怕。你的媽媽定會信守諾言。」我心生憐憫。366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mDLCPEl3t
366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Wob4xC3CA
安娜終於笑了。366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqPFwPPKJ2
366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54iVzuGbxX
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……366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqE19tEXt8Y
366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2SFVkvjgj
聊著聊著，我和安娜齊齊於大樹下倦極入睡。366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQTRQ8M2ba
366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALi63FO5mT
翌日，霧氣消散。366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuipvly2S4R
366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44e0EtQTDn
我強撐硬僵的身體，勉力張開沉重的眼皮。366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3q25x1vRkI
366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCBH3HXvoJ
怎麼會有一個湖在不遠處？怎麼我們整晚不曾發覺？366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsmRmOtvSa
366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2zeJWqo4x
「怎麼了？」安娜打個呵欠，睡眼惺忪望向我。366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3aUuMsCB3
366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2mLr9gAUn
「你看不見嗎？」我指向大湖。366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTt9T98WrZa
366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5aWxTD8VNf
「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。366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxE1JjVZsJ
366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Ur7xmYYsr
我鼓起勇氣，戰戰兢兢地走向安娜。366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFleLozO0s
366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfYOY69D4y
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！」366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAQz66EmBt
366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEuRWJG42j
「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？」366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLL9ASVoY0
366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHL5ckTDI9
我四處張望。366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTM2nuS3Jd
366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8UHgqswwA
濃霧忽現，籠罩湖面，一切景物均沒入迷濛當中。366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpeVVBx00T
366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZtaAg45nZ
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。366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgkISJ6mxE
366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtuYiK4Nzn
「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。366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrFXFP8FvI
366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcFbU2kMSw
「安娜！」我叫住安娜：「你要跟我離開嗎？」366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNZ2LBoHfE
366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQntTDejum
「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。366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Eahb73oDZ
366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEefiFTYSs
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。」366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FjfQhnRsf
366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctiFjqRAxY
「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。366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvVIqJW50T
366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3DHIWaUhC
但，她會為了媽媽而哭。366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6CMgf5Ss4
366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9r45VWTNpG
「好……」我輕掃她的紅髮，以示安慰。366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYEtgbSmUs
366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYIuY6Coyx
我登上小舟，邁向矇矓深處。366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrH2HI5bwk
366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJNLOmDBLb
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……366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrYwl83dzt
366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZChxpNtIrt
「爸爸？媽媽？」我喜極而泣，父母亦激動衝前，與我相擁。366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaff1Fgo6bF
366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Hta8duHA3
我飽餐一頓後，與父母和醜女們再次聚首。366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6Uks6VYgR
366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzMUsytd4x
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。366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfW3oN4RWP
366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEEcpRHw4p
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。366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcor80UAo0
366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PoqjoeUDb
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。366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIyEb3s3DO
366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuM4nQ9KnH
鴉雀無聲。366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZz2ptZDBs
366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSniZif4FYv
我從女巫的神情察覺端倪。「你們認識安娜？」366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvqQyjieXY
366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcT1T02esO
她們沒有直接回答我，逕自講起她們的故事……366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjAyMRitLx
366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsikXyZ6aIL
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。366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RRsf0kaaL
366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm002Jjkj1I
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。366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOlsWOD3qR
366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqq1QcjjwT
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……366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wUqkV3530
366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tNX4iC7q1
「為何不是你倆作『媒介』，而是完全不懂巫術的安娜？」366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1Il51JHR6
366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGgmNGcN6z
「有哪個母親會捨得讓自己的孩子冒險？」366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3m0AJcAhb
366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkAmdL9KOq
「事成後，為何不帶安娜回來？」366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCC6UVWlwZ
366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPscQor0Vmj
「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……」366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEdTo1s5S6
366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpv5jpRJSa
「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！」366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5ocEyxDWG
366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0C3MYtIHZ
「太遲了！安娜的肉身早已腐爛，沒能復生。」366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MWuZWhf5l
366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ58KDTjvmg
「至少，你們該要向她道歉，讓她不要盲目等待，重過正常生活。」366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Xu0hmRXrf
366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMOQ95ri8b
「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……」366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIeIV6Et6a
366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxYpPYEcLY
「她是個好心腸的孩子。或許她會原諒你們。」366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGE5DlDi6ri
366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWo8rNQrhJ
「誰保證？」366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuzuTSriC6
366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJXCJ71lrc
的確，沒人能保證安娜不會發怒。366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfH4lliDhs
366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TYssBlIqw
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。366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCjwmqnGQC
366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJM7kyfYQJ
「不如，你馬上自殺，將真相告訴安娜，勸她重過正常生活。」366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblJtL5uuO4
366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8trnXGq3a2
「但我們不確定安娜會否願意再次為你引路。」366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGKJW3YC5t
366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKuB3wR6XG
「希望安娜不會就地把你撕成碎片吧！」366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxxo6iVQ68
366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKicOdsRFWT
「裝甚麼大仁大義？你不也是沒膽量！」366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuH2FsK6PK
366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJ1t18cM3m
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。366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcpBgunwlg
366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzDAEKdy14
「惱羞成怒嗎？哈哈哈！」366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpSpdHJXmf
366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMEvDmj8Zt
「你的父母千金散盡，原來是救了個小屁孩！」366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5Uum7GXRx
366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lxcbF2LPO
「世界從來不是非黑即白！」366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKpPyX0GGu
366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4Bz9M3M3a
「小子，你將來就會明白！」366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3d1329wqB
366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZY0KtuPXp
我知道自己徹底輸了。366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzqpQrMmmt
366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIHMiSbMVV
不單是敗予女巫，更是敗於自己。366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmicRI7il4k
366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEidYHfKmjC
我沒有自己想像的清高。366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0SVdHPPqk
366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Q9Ll1WkwL
所以……366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2fVwhGViu
366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLRrjR9lEe
對不起，安娜。
