55. It's All So Devious...!

                                    

                                          
Author's NOTE: IMPORTANT ( DO NOT SKIP)
So, this story had slight angst from the very beginning, but since now major angst is coming up, I thought it would be best to enlighten my readers about the Word 'angst'. 
Yes angst, because what we mostly come across in Wattpad with the tag 'angst' is not an apt description of the word. Let me clear things for you all, Angst doesn't mean 'sadistic' content or abuse. Physical or mental abuse has nothing to do with angst. 
So then what's Angst exactly?
Angst has nothing to do with sadism but everything to do with emotions. Yes, Angst in literature or to be exact, in stories indicate ' a Term introduced by Kierkegaard to indicate "general dread or anxiety, arising especially from the lack of purpose, concern, or meaning in the universe. " 
To have angst means a story in which one or more characters are experiencing not simply anxiety, but terrible tragedy. 
So there it is. The exact definition of angst. 
Therefore, I hope my readers are enlightened now, with all confusion gone, and know very well to differentiate between which is Angst and which is not.  😊
Now, let's start with the chapter.  :)

Chapter 51
It's all So Devious....




Living Room, Sam's Mansion


Natasha , as was her habit and her attitude sat with her legs up on the center table , her cherry red boots kicking against each-other rhythmically , indicating the devious activity of her quick and evil mind. Qui Su poured her a tall glass of bubbly and putting it on the table, sat back on the couch , crossing her legs and eyes sharpened towards the dusky beauty whose cat eyes always erased the difference between human beings and animals.
Qui Su ( curiously )- Okay, so what are the headlines that are going to rock my world?
Natasha ( smiles )- What do I get out of this deal? I am a Vampire and a Bolshie. We don't do any kinda social service and you know that , honey. If I give you the weapon that will separate Yibo and Zhan forever , what are you going to do for me?
Qui Su ( raises a warning eye brow )- Except for harming Yibo , anything under the sun, sweetie. And I. ALWAYS.KEEP.MY . WORD.
Natasha ( sips the bubbly )- I know. Well, I want you to do two things - protect us against the vampire slayers and kill Xena when we ask you to without a question and handover her gold rose vial... the one which she wears in her neck to us.
Qui Su ( listens carefully and nods at her )- Hmmm.... Vampire slayers. Not a problem. I can protect you guys against them. But killing Xena? You do understand who we are talking about her? THE XENA. If I kill her which will mean taking myself to the edge of death - covens of thousands of witches are going to turn me into powder and hunt you all Bolshvas down!.....She is protected by the white spirits and they will come running to save her and make milkshakes out of me!
Natasha ( laughs )- That's the catch! True, Xena's protectors and slave spirits will jump out of her body and shred you to threads the moment you attack Xena. But there is a twist here.....The spirits can protect Xena against a physical enemy but they are useless against a CURSE that Xena is destined to suffer. The witches' rulebook commands all witches not only to give curses but BEAR them as well. Understand?
Qui Su almost drops the wafer bowl and her hazel brown eyes go wide in shock.
Qui Su ( shocked and excited at the same time )- WHAT?????????????..D-DID I HEAR YOU RIGHT? You mean Xena is plagued by a curse?
