Chicken Pecks and emptyness (DeS Au)

Wow ok, I'm going to need to write something cute and goofy when I come back to this Au. boy this hurt. 

OK BIG WARNING HERE. I warn you here and when it happens, but I do describe a corpse in s much detail as I felt I could, and if stuff like that freaks you out, then either skip this chapter, I'll put a TLDR on the bottom, or just skip that paragraph, as I will let you know with BIG EMOJI LETTERS.

Numbness. That was what Scar felt. Pure and utter numbness.

He had woken up, in the middle of the roofed forest, alone, in the middle of the night.

And so he did the only thing he could. He wandered. Past the same tree over and over again. In a circle. He wasn't thinking. He wouldn't think for several hours. He would walk in the same circle, over and over again. The same numb, cold and empty feeling.

Over,

and over,

And over again.

That was until the pain came.

It started as a small pop of pain on his hand. And then another. And another. They became more and more intense with each moment, until it felt as if his skin was paper in some cruel author's typewriter. Over and over again sharp pain danced across his skin, with neither a visible source or any effect on his skin. Tears threatened his eyes, as the pain moved from place to place, as of something was pealing skin and muscle from his bones.

And then the light came, the warm glow of fire between the trees caught his eye, and shook him out of the haze of confusion and pin and panic. He ran, he feet pounding silently over the ground.

Cub was clearly tired, dark circles were forming under his eyes and he used the nearby trees as supports. Cub called scars name.

"CUB!" Scar cried, waving his arms over his head. Cub didn't respond, and kept walking. "C'mon don't ignore me! please," Scar ran to catch up with the man, walking backwards in front of him. "Is everything ok? How long was I gone for?" cub said nothing, staring right through scar.

"Dude?" Scar stopped, cub continuing on, calling his name again into the night. Scar followed slightly behind, the pain dancing over his skin had slowed, and then, cub screamed, and the pain stopped. Scar rushed to cubs side, guided by the light of the torch cub had dropped into the damp grass.

The sight was gaustly.

(ヽ(ﾟДﾟ)ﾉ WARNING. As I said at the start, I describe a decaying corpse in this paragraph, even though I'm not a great writer, I still don't want to make people sick, so just skip this paragraph if you don't want to read it!)

The corpse was stiff and bloated, its eyes closed and skin a discolored greyish color. bloody foam had leaked from its mouth and nose. Its skin, as disturbing as it was, shimmered in the moonlight, small blisters risin on its skin. Scar could see flies and other insects buzzing around a body he didn't want to believe was his. Dried blood covered its clothing and the nearby trees, and even from the distance he was, Scar could see arrows poking out of his own decaying flesh.

(OKAY YOUR GOOD NOW!)

Cub took a couple steps backwards, a few mutters from disbelief falling from his mouth. He fumbeled with taking his com out of his pocket, typed out the coordinates, and left. Scar hung there a moment, watching as a couple chickens wander from the trees, and begun to peck at his corpse again. Scar felt the sharp pains again, which shook him out of his stupor.

Silently, he wandered next to the body, and shooed the birds away, both terrified and angered by the birds. He turned around, and followed cub, but not before setting the torch on its proper position. 

OK TLDR TIME

Basically Scar woke up in a dark forest, feeling really numb and confused so he wanders in a circle for a while, before he starts to feel pain across his body, shortly after, he spots a torch going through the trees, which distracts him enough to follow it, finding a very tired cub, clearly looking for him. Scar tries to talk, but Cub cant hear or see him. as he soon discovered, its not because he's ignoring him, its because he's dead. and I get to look up how a body rots, which is very interesting, in a morbid, forensics lover kinda way. 

God I need some fluff for this au. Maybe a commentary between the ghosts MTV cribz style? OoooOOO that night be fun. maybe some shippy stuff in my bloody code Au first? or Spidercleo and Batralis's first night as superheros?  or why not both!

(Also i checked my rankings and APPARENTLY I'm like #5 in short story's and I just?? also I'm #69 in mumbo jumbo and just. nice.)
