I had just enough time to run back to the apartment and gather a few things before the helicopter left. I brought a heavy coat, boots, camping supplies, and a bag of dried fruit. Cooking wasn’t my specialty, and I couldn’t waste any more time than necessary. An hour later I met the women at the airfield. Just as Heather had said, the helicopter was waiting, rotors twisting languidly.

I stared out the window and watched as we drifted over the foothills and slowly climbed into the mountains. It wasn’t long before the great peaks of Thrishul appeared on the horizon. The pilot banked and dipped into the misty valley below, descending through the haze until Roopkund, like a frozen, crystalline eye, blinked into existence.

Heather touched me on the leg. “This is it,” she said.

The helicopter landed on a plateau about a hundred meters from the lake. We unloaded our gear and said goodbye to the pilot, then headed down to the shore.

Roopkund was small, frozen, and littered with human bones. They were everywhere. Skulls, arms, legs, ribs–it looked like a slaughter. Some had been sorted or assembled into full skeletons by tourists.

We picked a relatively flat spot on the south shore of the lake and made camp. We worked as the sun set behind Thrishul, casting a long three-pointed shadow over the valley.

After we’d finished the three of us crawled inside and zipped the flap.

“This will help with the cold,” Heather said, grabbing a bottle of whiskey from her suitcase.

“Is this part of the ritual?” I joked, taking a pull from the bottle.

“Couldn’t hurt,” Isha said.

“So when do we start?”

“We’ve got a few hours. We can’t start until midnight, so we might as well get cozy.”

Heather unzipped her coat and stretched her arms. “Bottle please.”

Isha passed the whiskey to her and she took a long drink.

“Careful!” Isha laughed. “We’re not in college anymore!”

“Oh God,” Heather grinned. “This girl could drink in college, Jas. You have no idea.”

I rolled my eyes and took a sip from the bottle. “I’ve heard the stories.”

Heather shook her head. “Oh I don’t think you’ve heard them all.”

“I may know more than you think.”

Heather’s eyes widened. “Isha, did you tell him?”

“Unfortunately,” Isha replied, unzipping her coat.

“Scandalous!”

I nodded, smirking.

Heather grabbed the bottle and pulled. “How much did you tell him?”

Isha glanced at me. “Just about the one time we kissed.”

Heather burst out laughing. “Oh, the one time! Girl, I’ve had my fingers inside of you more times than I can remember.”

“What?!”

Isha groaned and snatched the bottle from Heather’s hand.

“I knew it!” I yelled, grabbing the bottle away from her. “Liar.”

Heather bit her lip. “You’re upset by that?”

I upended the bottle and filled my mouth with the harsh liquid.

“Jaswinder?” Heather said.

I wiped my mouth with the back of my hand. “I don’t care what you two did ten years ago. I just want an honest wife.” I glared at her.

Isha looked down. “You don’t think what we did is wrong?”

I drummed my fingers on the bottle. The tent was beginning to spin.
