Chosen

Chapter 1
Late one dark and stormy night, a tall boy of the age of 16 came to my house. He was wearing a black jacket, black jeans, and a black t-shirt with a skull onthe front. He wore black sunglasses and had shaggy black hair to his shoulders. He told me that he had come from a far away planet at the edge of the solar system. The planet was sort of like earth except it was more beautiful and it was smaller. He told me that I was the chosen one and that I needed to ome with him to save his planet from the evil Garugon the Cruel.
"This can't be possible," I said in disbelief.
"But its true. I have come a long wayto find you, Alexander," He said calmly as though we were disgussing the weather.
" My name is Alex. I ditched Alexander a while ago. What's your name," I said just as calmly.
" I am called T.J. Do not ask me what it stands for because I do not know myself," He said.
" But what about my parents. I can't leave them here," I said.
" Your parents are safer here than if they came with us," T.J said.
" But why," I asked.
" Because, Garugan wants you dead and if they get in the way. He will kill them," T.J said sadly.
"' How do you know I'm the chosen one," I said.
" Because the king of my planet knows all and sees all," T.J said with certainty.
" Who is your leader," I said.
" You will find out soon enough. So, will you come with me," T.J asked politely.
" I guess so," I agreed reluctantly.
" Splendid! We shall set off at 7 o' clock," T.J said with a smile.
" But where are you going to sleep," I asked.
" I will sleep in my rocket ship of course," T.J said as if it were obvious.
" Alright then," I said.
He turned around and walked out the door and I shut it behind him. After that I layed down in bed and tried to register what happened. I couldn't believe that I could be chosen for something like this. And how can there be a planet outside of the solar system. If I am the chosen one, I have to learn more about the planet I am supposed to save. But if this a dream, then I will wake up soon. And I will be a normal 14 year old boy with black hair and brown eyes. And before I knew it, I was asleep. I dreamed of a giant red guy who was destroying the world. Then after what felt like a short amount of time I was being shooken awake by a soft hand.
" Mmm, five more minutes mom," I mumbled.
" Its me, T.J, said the voice with a hint of amusement.
My eyes shot open at that statement and I slowly sat up. I found myself looking at the same guy I met last night. I guess it wasn't a dream afterall. There really was a planet in danger and I am the chosen one. I got up and rubbed the sleep out of my eyes. I then grabbed a pair of jeans, a t-shirt, a pair of socks, and a pair of shoes. I went in the bathroom and got dressed. After that I went back to my room and found T.J sitting in my desk chair waiting patiently. I grabbed a duffel bag and put five pairs of shirts, pants, and socks in it. Then I put my tooth brush, tooth paste, and hair brush at the top of the bag. I zipped it up and then grabbed another duffel bag and put my laptop stuff in it and then I went down to the kitchn and grabbed a loaf of bread. I also grabbed some peanut butter, a ziplock bag of forks, spoons, and knives, and a twelve pack of rootbeer. I went back up to my bedroom and filled my second duffel bag with the goodies. I stood up after I was done with the bag and looked up at T.J.
