I was lost...as lost as a foreigner could possibly be.
To be more specific I was an exchange student who had come to the city of Pforzheim in Germany as a part of an International Society programme.My hosts where the Stauffen family of 4, husband-wife(Eric and Arabella) and their children, Otto,21 and Beatrix,19. My hosts were a gracious lot but me being an adventurous soul wanted to camp in the "Schwarzwald" also more popularly known as The Black Forest.After much convincing they finally agreed & I found myself in Skoda Yeti heading towards the local camping station.
The plan was an overnight camp to view the scenic beauty of the famed forest.We reached our camping site which was located at the foothill of Mt Feldberg the highest mountain in the region. We settled down to the usual campfire stuff and I was soon entertained by the hilarious jokes of Mr Eric Stauffen. The chat soon drifted and Otto started telling about the supernatural stuff allegedly centered about some 'cabin' located on the ridge of Mt Feldberg. I being a headstrong fellow laughed it all away and chuffed the lad for his stories. Soon we retired in our respective tents.
I don't remember the time now but it was some time after midnight when I first heard it...a low musical tune as if somebody was playing a violin, the sound was alluring, enticing me to explore. I wisely detested from doing the same and tried again to fall asleep. After about half an hour I heard it again, this time seemingly close my tent! It was too much for me I got up quickly and poked my head out..there was nobody there. Then I saw a flash of light some 200yards away in a forested ridge. I tried to control my curiosity but it was too much and I succumbed. Picking up my jacket and a flashlight I headed out towards the flashing strobe. On reaching there I found the strobe had shifted some distance away from me uphill. Determined to explore the mystery I went ahead trying to find the source of light. This continued for some time;me reaching the flashing lights only for them to move somewhere ahead. I got so engrossed in this 'chase' that soon I had completely lost my sense of direction. I decided to foray ahead and seek out the source and after climbing a rock formation I saw it...the cabin.
It was a sturdy wooden structure some 2o yards away fenced around with a gate. Surprisingly there seemed to be a candle burning in the window.Unnerved I turned to leave when I heard the music once again now coming from the cabin itself!
It was an enchanting almost magical tune was pulled my feet towards the cabin...I swung the gate open and approached the door, it was ajar! I approached cautiously and opened it, inside was a single wooden table with a jet black violin on it, on the window sill was the candle burning. I walked in went near the table when suddenly there was a loud THUD!! the door was slammed shut. The next thing I remember was a swirl of mist from God knows where and I fainted.
I woke to find myself on some rocky platform in room which was made of rock! I was in some sort of cavern. There were two candles bright red in colour throwing an almost sensual light. All this of course I noticed later because the very first thing that struck me was that I was stark naked and was bound by some contraption to the rocky platform. Then a door opened somewhere above and again the sensual music could be heard this time though I could see a lengthening shadow approaching. A chill ran through my spine when I realised that the person was playing the violin.I also noticed the curvy body and realised that it was a female...
