Ei Diafol| Book 3| A Novella in the Blue Moon series| An Avengers fan fiction series|

* a novella, or short story*

Thea isn't doing well.

Since the tragedy of "Three Tasks", the thirteen year old has spiraled from bad to worst. She refuses to let anyone in, barely sleeps, barely eats: she's a human ghost.

But when Kyle catches her putting a knife to her own skin, he draws the line. Thea is sent, very unwillingly, to Asgard in hopes that there, she may find peace.

The problem is, Thea's hatred for Loki has only increased. And she no longer accepts that she is beginning to think of him a brother or, more likely, even a father. While Loki, Thor, Peter, and the rest of the gang tries to reach her, she keeps pushing them back, putting up a wall between them and the world around her.

Loki, however, is the only one who has the keys to Thea's heart, but he is still not completely sure how to use that key. And he has secrets of his own, secrets that he knows will threaten those around him, and threaten the one he loves most in this world: the little green-eyed girl who had collided with his world.

"Ei Diafol" is as much as about the growing bond between Loki and Thea as it is the struggle with both of their inner demons. But of course, as it is so often with Thea, happiness is only ephemeral.
