ENKI-E

(EXPECT SOME GORE TOWARDS END OF THE CHAPTER, MORE LIKE A KILL BILL TYPE. IF YOU ARE NOT COMFORTABLE CAN SKIP IT)

Enki sat on the plush deep red cushion with ease, eyes scanning the dance floor below, taking in the view of human bodies dancing to the music. Some lost in the moves, others lost in each other's arms. His mood was good. He managed to get a glimpse of how the girl looked like. The girl with the pale brown eyes. He smirked to himself.

When he received a random signal from someone seeking a mentor, he ignored it at first. Not wanting to help anyone after her death. He always blamed his powers and his hopelessness to save her. And the pain remained despite hundreds of years passing by. In those years of oblivion, he managed to amass a huge amount of wealth and power while remaining under the radar.

To outsiders, he was a good-looking man, always dressed in sharp suits or clothes with deep blue eyes, the colour of the Antarctic Ocean. His dark tanned skin oozes sex appeal without him even trying. His hair was dyed in jet black, concealing his dark brown hair perfectly. He liked the contrast of his black hair and deep blue eyes. Sex magnet he thinks.

After sensing Enlil, taking up the girl as his wife, he took interests. Who was the mysterious girl who captured stone-cold Enlil's heart? Was it her beauty or her power? He decided to invade the girls' dream just to get a taste of her. Enki inhaled sharply. The girl was beautiful, with her high nose bridge, oval face with baby hair on her forehead, high cheekbones and lovely plump pink lips making any man fall for her. But her thick unkempt eyebrows were something he noted, as a defect on a painting. She was across the world in another country, and he is stuck in Las Vegas the perfect city to cover his sins. I need to find out where she stays. Only then I can tap into her powers and make her my puppet.

Enki cleared his thoughts of her and hunted for his prey. He noticed a young girl, fresh-faced and naïve, but with the right amount of makeup to blend in with the crowd. She was a bundle of nerves, perhaps the first time in a club, her group of friends were talking to her attentively, encouraging her to drink. She grimaced at the drink but swallowed it. She looked human and he wanted to forget about the pale brown eyes today.

Enki made his move. He closed the buttons of his suit jacket and nodded at his secretary to open the room door. He took a swig of whiskey from his cup and walked languidly towards the lift.

He spotted the girl and eased at the chair next to hers, alarming her.

`Sorry, didn't mean to scare you', he spoke in a deep voice, huskily.

`Oh, its..its.', her deep green eyes were shiny and shy. Enki took her hands and kissed the back of her palms. She stopped talking completely.

`I'm Chris Bauer. Pleased to meet you', he smirked.

`I'm Bree Sidney', she blushed shyly eyeing her friends who gave her a thumbs up and left for the dance floor.

`First time?', he stared at her, keeping her hands in his.

`Yes, it is obvious?', she looked down at her hand and her neck was turning red now.

`Don't worry, I won't tell', Enki winked at her and she giggled.

`Get her a Watermelon Vodka, with 2 straws', Enki ordered from the bartender, while keeping his eyes on her. He lifted her chin to look at him and breathed near her ears `It's the best drink for a first-timer' and smiled at her.

She flushed further. When their drink arrived, he drank a few sips and made small talks with her. Enki was charming and made her comfortable. She soon started talking but she was shy and spoke little. He liked that. But he was getting impatient. He leaned into her neck and spoke in a deep velvet voice `Would you like to have a night to remember?'. He stood up and offered his arms. Enki put up a brilliant smile and waited for her. She hesitated for a moment before slowly raising her hands and clasping it with hers.

Enki wasted no time in bringing her to his hotel suite. Bree was dazed from the vodka and Enki held her hands comforting her with small talks. As soon as he opened his room door, she froze.

`What's the matter, Bree?', Enki nuzzled her neck and lightly kissed it.

`I haven't done…this..before', she muttered under her breath, eyeing the tastefully decorated room. She was confused. Shall I take this big leap?

`Shhhhhhh….say no more', Enki put his index finger on her lips and started kissing her neck, pushing the door to close and locked it. He trailed open-mouthed kisses down her neck and she gripped his shirt in return. He kissed her jawline and slowly guided her to move towards the bed. Enki crashed his lips unto her when she moaned after he nibbled her bottom lips.

His kiss was rough and demanded an opening. Poor Bree obliged her mind all mushy from the vodka and intoxicated by Enki's good looks and charm. He gently pushed her into the bed, without breaking the kiss and angled her head to kiss her deeper. By the time Enki pulled back, the girl had cloudy eyes and she looked at him with lust.

Enki was quick to discard her clothes and continued kissing her with passion. She moaned into his arms and pulled his neck to kiss her harder. Enki obliged and smirked against her skin. He removed his shirt and started fingering her entrance. Bree started touching his well-toned chest and kissed it.

She is tight, just as he thought. He flicks his tongue expertly over her breast and knead the other breast licking and lightly biting her. She sighed his name loudly and closed her mouth, shy.

`Don't close your beautiful lips, Bree, tonight you will scream my name', he spoke near her lips and kissed her with fervour. She dug her hands into his hair and gripped them tightly. Her lips were slightly swollen from the kiss, but he did not stop.

He opened his pants in record time and position himself in between her legs. He did not break the kiss, nor did his hands stop from pinching her nipples and caressing her breasts in his palms. Bree was a moaning mess on his bed. Wet and wanting, exactly where he wanted her to be.

With a single thrust, he broke her barrier and she screamed his name. Enki smirked at her shoulder and did not stop his trusts until he was satiated. Bree was exhausted from all the screaming and pleasure he gave to her and slept soon after.

Enki took a cigarette and lighted one. He smoked half of it and squashed the rest with water. He took a pocketknife and twirled it in between his fingers. Nergal, the God of Death appeared before him and bowed his head. Nergal loathed Enki and the fact he had to bow to him each time they met. If only his greed did not supersede his thinking skills he would not have to deal with Enki.

`I have a gift for you', Enki pointed at Bree. `Find me the girl's location',

Nergal did not wait to be told twice. He simply nodded his head and retrieved his scythe from his robe. He walked near the girl and dropped the scythe, directly above her neck, splitting the head and the body in a single clean swipe. Enki used a bubble of water to trap the blood spurts from the head and moved it towards the toilet, flushing it down. He hated the mess.

Nergal opened his portal to death world and brought Bree's separated head and body with him. With his limited power he could not collect victims from dying naturally, Enki killed, and he had to dispose of them. He never wanted to kill innocent people, his job was to transit souls between the death world and the living. Enki met him and entice him to be able to select his victims and wealth (specifically gold which he had an obsession). Nergal who never thought he had the option to choose took Enki's word and accepted a duel.

Nergal almost lost his life to Enki's trickery and had no choice but to allow Enki to take up most of his power, rendering him as a puppet. Nergal regretted the day he lost his throne and has been keeping tabs with Enki ever since, reading his next movements. And he knew that Enki was disturbed, his latest kill was proof of it. He rarely killed a virgin, always kept them with him for years before discarding them.

Enki was looking for new prey, and Nergal wondered if he could make a deal with the girl he was told to find. He wanted a release from Enki and a possible alliance with an enemy looked like a positive prospect. Let's just pray the girl has a better fate than the dead girl on his hands.
