After My Last Rewind, They Begged Me to Stay Chapter 06

Weston grabbed Sienna’s hand and shouted,

“What are you talking about? How could Eleanor possibly have come to bother you?”

Sienna, taken aback by his tone, burst into fresh tears, hugging her knees.

“Why are you all yelling at me!”

“It was Eleanor tormenting me the whole time, and you’re interrogating me instead. If none of you believe me,

I might as well just leave!”

She climbed off the bed as if to storm out, but Nathaniel caught her arm and yanked her back onto the

mattress.

“Weren’t you just trying to kill yourself?” His voice went cold enough to freeze water.

“How is it you’re perfectly fine right now?”

Julian had already dragged the maid who’d reported the “suicide” down the hallway.

Weston grabbed the maid by the collar.

“Who told you to spread lies?”

She cowered, saying nothing.

He drew back his fist. “Fine. Won’t talk? I’ll beat it out of you right now!”

The maid shrieked and crawled toward Sienna.

“Miss Sienna, please! You told me to say it! You said you’d protect me! Say something!”

Three pairs of eyes turned to Sienna at once.

Sienna froze.

Her mouth opened, her eyes flickered-and then she cried even harder.

“Yes. Yes, I told her to spread that lie.”

“But I didn’t know what else to do. I just wanted you to come save me. Eleanor really was going to torment

me to death!”

Nathaniel leaned down, staring into her face.

“You said Eleanor came here and tormented you?”

Sienna’s eyes darted.

“Yes. She came into my room just now. I don’t know where she went after that.”

A chill went through all three of them.

“Eleanor just died,” Nathaniel said, voice like ice.

“Tell me how does a dead woman come into your room to scream at you?”

Sienna’s eyes went wide with disbelief, and the words tumbled out before she could stop them.

“That’s impossible! Doesn’t she rewind after death? How could she possibly be dead?”

The room went silent.

Nathaniel’s eyes narrowed. Julian turned the scalpel over in his hand. Weston clenched his fists.

“How do you know she can rewind after death?”

Only then did Sienna seem to realize what she’d let slip.

She clapped a hand over her mouth and shrank back.

Her face drained from white to a sickly gray, her eyes darting in panic.

“I-I was just guessing.”

Weston grabbed her by the back of the neck, hauled her off the bed, and slammed her onto the floor.

She lay there, hair falling across her face.

“Talk.”

Weston pinned her hand to the floor, ignoring her cries of pain.

“How did you find out?”

Sienna wept against the floorboards.

“I- I overheard it! Once, you were all talking in the living room, and I happened to walk by.”

Nathaniel crouched down and brushed the hair off her face.

“Sienna. We’ve never once discussed that outside this room.”

My ability to rewind after death was the Calloway family’s most closely guarded secret. None of them had ever spoken of it in a public space.

Sienna had nothing left to say.

Julian pulled out a syringe, crouched beside her, and flicked the needle.

“If you won’t talk, we have all the time in the world.” His voice was flat.

“There’s no telling what’s in this. Feel free to find out.”

On the surface, Julian is a healer-a doctor sworn to save lives.

But on The Dark Web, he’s a ghost-a mad chemist who brews terror into every vial.

Sienna stared at the needle, trembling like a leaf.

Weston pinned her arm to the floor and shoved her sleeve up.

“Fine! I’ll talk!”

Sienna screamed.

“I’ve known from the very beginning!”
