Her blood mate, Jareth, turned her even though now they are both "handicapped" vampires; the deadly disease that Rayne had caused both her and Jareth to be weakened. They are both vampires, but they don't have the super strength and powers commonly associated with the undead. Also, they can both go out in the sun without bursting into flames which is a good thing since Rayne still lives at home and needs to remain a high school student.

Rayne is feeling a little distance between them since he isn't dark and brooding anymore. She also gets her new assignment from Slayers, Inc which is to infiltrate the cheerleading squad since there have been suspicious disappearances from the varsity football team and growling has been heard coming from the girls' locker room after cheerleading practice.
