It was a rush. The clashing of swords, the burning in her lungs and in her muscles, the knowledge that if she moved too slowly (or too quickly), if she made one wrong move- It could be the end of her. The pumping of her heart and the pain and the pleasure were all part of the game.
It was a thrill. The gravity flipping around her as she re-oriented the world into the way that she liked it, as if she could alter the rules of nature, the dizzying sensation of jumping from building to building- sideways, the knowledge that she could pull a Dracula at any moment and walk up a wall into anybody's house. And she used to, too. The excitement of the chase and the thrill of the catch were something she only gained recently, instead of the fear of the chase and the despair of the catch.
It was different. And she was all for different.
