The weather was a bit hot when then left the house that day. Avrail helped Mike get the baby in the car, then opened the window after sitting down. They were heading to the Forks sporting store. When they pulled into the driveway, Avrail got the baby out, then walked behind Mike into the store. After getting settled in the store, a customer came in looking for a tent, he was going camping with his family, so he wanted it be large enough for 6 people. Avrail showed him the section, and Mike walked over to help with the space descriptions. After checking him out, Avrail checked out the next customer in line, It was Jacob, he said hello to Avrail, and she said hello back. He then asked if she heard anything about a vampire defense drug. She looked at him for a minute, then he said that he heard through rumors that someone was creating one. Emily had a friend from school who was saved from a person who was given the drug. Avrail told him, she hadn't heard anything about it, but if she did, she would let him know. After he walked out, she thought of how strange it would be for them to find out they knew of the drug. Jacob didn't seem like he thought positively about it, so she had lied. She had another customer behind him who was buying a cart full of supplies. Avrail checked her out, then after picking up Terran, checked on Mike. He was doing inventory in the back. She stood beside him for a minute, then went back to the counter.

They were at the grocery store in forks shopping. She looked over and saw a women who was screaming, about her child being pick up by a stranger. Mike saw what she was looking at, and started to walk in their direction. The child was being grabbed from her mothers grip, and when Mike got there, the man turned and shoved Mike. Mike pushed him back and he let go of the child. They had a pushing and shoving match, before they bumped into a shelf that tipped over. When it fell, Mike moved a shelving unit and put to the vampires head. The vampire was able to get out from under it and he ran down the isle and out the front doors. Avrail walked over to where Mike was standing and asked if he was alright. Mike replied that he was fine, and then asked the women how her and her child were doing. The women said they were unscratched and then she thanked Mike for helping. He nodded at her, and of course, and that anyone would have helped. She said she had to get home after that, and walked pass them out the front doors. Avrail and Mike left the store soon after that too.

When they were home that night, and in bed, Avrail asked Mike how difficult the fight was. He replied that it was not too bad, and he knew he was going to be the winner. Avrail said that she was worried about him, but she understood why he stepped in to help. She then told him she wasn't sure how well the vampire training drug worked until she saw him in the store. Mike said he didn't want her to be uncertain about his choice with the drug. Avrail assured him she wasn't and, that she wanted to try the drug too, if he was fine with that. Mike said yes he was fine with it. She snuggled into him and turned her attention back to the television.

The forks store was busy that day, everyone had heard about Mike interaction with the mystery man. Mike told them that the man ran off after he fell, and that he must have knew he wasn't going to win. Mike had called Terrance the night before and asked about Avrail getting the shot. Terrance said that the weekend was a good time to stop over at the training center. A customer at he counter was buying bean sand bags to weight down his car, and mentioned Mikes store encounter. Avrail told him that she stayed with the baby while it happened, but she saw their interaction from the place she was standing, and she knew he did a good thing that day.

They were on their way to Terrance's training center that weekend, Avrail watched as the trees passed. When they arrived at the training facility, she put Terran in his stroller, then they walked to the building where the doctor was located. When the walked into the room, Dr. Curpis and Terrance were in the room. Avrail said hello to them, then sat in the chair Dr. Curpis was indicating that she sit in. He prepared the shot, then put the drug into her arm. After the shot was given, Avrail got up and stood beside Mike, the doctor told them he was finished, and they walked out of the room. Terrance showed them the arena and the new vampire guest they had. They left a hour later, and headed home.

When Avrail was in bed later that night, she started to notice a slight difference in her senses. She cuddled with Mike while watching the television, and a scary movie commercial came on, and she and Mike jumped at the same time. She could sense the heat of their body's moving together, she looked at him and asked it he was aware of that. Mike said, yes that he sensed that too. She smiled and thought the drug was better than she had thought it was.
