Midnight Frost (Mythos Academy #5)(72)

While Vic muttered to himself about all the Reapers he wanted to kill, I looked out over the exhibit room. Blood and bodies covered the floor like dolls that a child had thrown down in a tantrum. Several of the artifact cases had been destroyed, and bits of glass glittered like diamond shards among the Reapers’ black robes. Deja vu. This was the third time now that I’d seen such a scene at the coliseum. At least the Reapers were the only ones who were dead this time, and not kids from my school like before.

Screams echoed in my head, and all the shadows in the room took on a bright, glossy sheen, like they were puddles of blood tainting everything with their horrid, coppery stench –

I shook my head, banishing the thoughts back to the bottom of my brain.

"What’s wrong?" Daphne asked, noticing my weary expression.

I shook my head again. "I was just thinking that I’m really starting to hate this place."
