Disclaimer: I don't own Orlando bloom (sniff sniff )or any other real people in this story. I only own the people you have never heard of (Alatariel). This is probably because I created them (ya think).Oh and even though Middle earth is hardly mentioned in the story, it belongs to Tolkien. The song So Far Away by Staind doesn't belong to me, as well as every other song I use in this fan fic.

So Far Away

By Erica

Chapter One

Anything for you - Evanescence

I'd give anything to give me to you
Can you forget the world that you thought you knew
If you want me,
Come and find me
Nothing's stopping you so please release me

BEEP BEEP BEEP! The alarm clock rang annoyingly on the bed side table. "Ugh. . . just a few . . . more minutes..."Orlando Bloom managed to get out before he fell into a peaceful sleep once again. This peaceful sleep didn't last for more than an hour because the phone started to ring. As he drifted out of his sleep, Orlando grabbed the phone and said, "HOLY SHT CAN'T A MAN GET A DECENT SLEEP FOR ONCE!" "Hello Sunshine! I'm glad you finally awake! " Fiona, Orlando's agent said in a sickeningly sweet voice.

"Oh it's you."

"Oh I know you love me!"

"Why are you calling me now? It's only . . ." Orlando looked around his room in search of a clock.

"11:30 in the morning"

Orli i hated when she was right. "Okay, fine . . . what do you want?"

"If you didn't know, you have about twenty minutes to get ready, you have a press conference, sweetie. So if I were you, I would get my ass out of bed! "

With that Orlando hung up the phone. He could have sworn that he heard her muttering something about an ungrateful brat. Orli reluctantly got up and managed to stumble into the shower before he fell asleep. Fifteen minutes later he left his apartment, not bothering to get anything except coffee for breakfast. Since the building where the press conference was going to be held, was only a few minutes away, Orli decided to take a walk through the park.

As the actor strolled through the park, he noticed that there was a small heavily wooded path to the right which looked like it could be a short cut to the main street. So, of coarse, he decided to try it. As he entered this part of the woods, he realized how different it was from the rest of the park. The trees were a lot bigger and the branches twisted. The forest seemed ageless, like it had been here all along unnoticed. . .untouched. Small patches of sunlight streamed through the branches like from a fantasy. all I need now is for pixies and nymphs to jump out the trees Orlando thought, as he began to tread more carefully through the mysterious forest.

Suddenly a twig snapped and that made Orli jump a few feet in the air. He stopped dead in his tracks afraid there actually was strange little creatures living in the forest. Orli carefully scanned his surroundings but when he looked down, he saw there was a broken twig under his foot. wow that's pretty sad Bloom. You were scared shtless over a twig you stepped on! Orlando silently laughed at himself.

Orli continued his walk forgetting about his press conference and everything else he was supposed to be doing at the moment. About ten minutes later Orlando started to regret taking this path in the first place. But then he saw a small clearing up ahead, it was lighter there. As he got closer Orli noticed a lump in the middle of the field. He started to walk faster, he was curious to see what the lump was. When he entered the field, the lump wasn't just a lump, it was a woman! Orlando ran over and knelt beside her. wow, she's hot The woman lay on her back asleep, hopefully. She wore a light blue, silk dress that ended at her knees and hugged her delicate figure. The woman's hair was quite long. They fell in big strawberry blonde ringlets around her face as she stirred from her sleep. Her face was so perfect it could have been made out of ivory, almost . . . otherworldly. Other peculiar features were her slightly pointed ears and the beautiful crystal necklace shaped as a leaf that hung around her neck. The mystery woman stirred again this time awakening and opening her eyes that just happened to be purple

As the woman began to realize where she was she noticed that she was not alone. Orlando snapped out of his daydream when the beautiful female in front of him began to panic and started to shriek! She jumped up and started to run. Orli refused to let her get away that easily so he got up and managed to grab her and pin her down to make sure she wouldn't run anymore.

"Whoa, I don't want to hurt you. I just want to help. My name's Orlando Bloom and your name is. . ."
