The Last Film

Chapter 1

A flower, a blue flower. That's what Felix Kington was painting at the moment, a beautiful blue flower. He was completely calm, with all of the drama over the news of him quitting the acting industry. He never did truely think acting would always be his thing, he always had a special spot for art. Pastel, watercolour, pencil, paint, charcoal, any kind of art, no matter what kind, he loved it all. It had been three months since he quit the acting industry, he had never been so happy in his life. No more cameras in his face, scripts telling him who he was and what to say. No more drama and hate, rumours or threats over media and online. He was calm and peaceful. "Riiiiiiiiing!" Screamed his phone, causing him to smudge blue paint over his painting. "Shit" he whispered angrily and picked up his phone, looking at the caller ID. 'Unknown.' Was all it said, this he was used to. When he was an actor he would always get prank calls that said that same word. Unknown. He realized that he felt an odd shiver rack his body, he ran his slim fingers threw his chocolate brown hair, his vibrant blue eyes locked with the cell phones screen. He shook himself out of that temporary state of fear and pressed the small green button that caused the phone to answer the call. "Hello?" He asked quickly, noticing that he heard nothing from the other end of the line. "Hello mr Kington!" Came an oddly cheery voice from the other line. It sounded like a man, in his fiftys or so. "Um..... Hi...?" He said carefully, not wanting to sound rude. Once again, silence for about a minute. "So sorry to bother you but I am Oliver Duncan, and I am directing a movie that I am 100% sure you will love! It would mean the world to me if you would star in it. Now I fully understand that you are no longer in the acting business, but this is a movie that me and my dear wife, Lana worked on and wrote together, she was a huge fan of yours. Unfortunately she has passed away around three months ago. It would mean the world to me and my deceased wife if you would play in this movie." He explained in a grim tone. He was surprised at first but felt his heart throb from sadness for this poor man. For he knew what it felt like to be torn away from someone you love, he felt as if it was his job as a human being to help him. "Yes. Of course sir, I will be happy to act in your movie. For your wife's sake." Felix said slowly. He suddenly felt sick to his stomach with regret at this. "Why thank you! Thank you so much sir! You won't regret it! I promise! You can come to 173 Northbound Drive tomorrow at 9 pm!" He said quickly and hung up. Felix there for a good hour, thinking of what He just agreed to. He didn't even know what the movie was about! Hell, for all he knew this could all be a lie. "No, calm down Felix. It's just some movie." He whispered to himself, vainly trying to comfort his worries. "It will be fine" he added and took a deep breath and dismissing his worry filled thoughts. "It's just one last film."
