"So what do you want to do?" Dean asked as he settled into the driver's seat. Honestly, Sam had no idea. He was barely wrapping his mind around any of this much less being able to form any kind of plan.
"You want to just get out of here?" Dean asked, sounding more than a little hopeful. Sam nodded; it was what he wanted more than anything to put this town in his rearview mirror and never come back but there were loose ends to tie up.
"We have loose ends," Sam said and Dean nodded, sighing.
"Where is he?" Sam suddenly asked as now he knew what he wanted to do. Dean looked at him for a second as he said.
"He's dead, you don't have to worry about him,"
"No, his body, Where's his body?"
"He's still there I guess," Dean said looked over him concerned. Sam nodded
"We have to cover ourselves which means we have to get rid of the body in case there's anything off about it," Sam said like it was purely business, he was pretty sure neither of them believed that. In reality, he had to make sure that the body was still there. They hadn't dealt with many beings with this amount of power and he had to make sure that Am-heh hadn't pulled a Gabriel.
"Sam, that's a bad idea returning to the scene again. The cops might have already been called, someone could have seen me carry you out of the house," Sam nodded.
"I get that, I really do, but I need to go back," Dean looked at him and then pulled over to the side of the road.
"Sam, this clown thing terrorized you, and it's where it almost killed you. Aside from it being a tactically stupid decision why do you want to go back there?"
"I need to make sure he's still there," he realized that wasn't all " and you killed him, I need to burn his body." Dean gave him that mother hen look that normally frustrated him and warmed him, right now it was just frustrated him.
"Okay, but since we're taking a dead body out of there and you need to simmer down a little, we're going to wait till dark." Sam nodded but he wasn't happy about it. Part of him feared that if they waited the Clown was going to rise up and come after them again, but Dean was right. They couldn't get a dead body out of there as easily in the middle of the day as they could in the dark. It was only a few hours, but it was going to be a long wait.
Sam shivered as he walked down the hallway. It was covered in splashes of blood, arterial spray and just big puddles of it everywhere. The smell was making his stomach churn slightly as the hallway was full of the coppery smell as well as the smell of the thankfully unseen dead bodies that the blood used to belong to. Even more people who had died because of him. Sam considered that this was probably one of the reasons that Dean had been so against him coming back here; this was proved further when Dean said.
"Sam, it's not your fault," Sam didn't answer as the two of them made their way down the hallway holding flashlights in one hand and guns in the other, just to be on the safe side. The two of them made their way down the now silent hall and Sam did his best not to look at the blood or focus on the smell. Minutes later they were in front of stairs that went both up and down. Dean went first; Sam only steps behind him as they descended into the dark basement. This time, though he had a flashlight with him though and he flicked it around the area. Blood, three of four different small puddles of blood coming from the two brothers and thankfully the still very dead clown who still had the stake inside his body. Some of the tension he had been feeling all day suddenly left his body, as he knew that the clown was really dead and hadn't just faked it.
He would deal with Am-heh later, but first of all, he had to get rid of his and Dean's blood before they called the cops so that this wouldn't be attached to their records as well. He paused though as memories from last night started drifting through his head. The clown taunting him, the clown about to kill him, and all the pain that the clown had put him through. His grip tightened on his flashlight, as the white-hot rage raced through him. He looked down at Am-heh's body. The creature had killed Peter, and had terrorized him for so long. Sam hated him so much but there was nothing he could do about it now. The only thing he could do was make sure that he and Dean weren't implicated in more murders
With that in mind, he traded his gun for a bottle of bleach out of his duffle bag and sprayed and wiped down the whole area. When he was done getting rid of any evidence that either of them had been there he turned to the body on the floor.
The next thing he took out was a tarp, which he laid on the floor. The two brothers lifted the dead body onto the tarp and wrapped him up in it. Sam nodded to Dean and the two of them picked the body up and headed back up the stairs. Soon they deposited the tarp-covered body into the back of the car. The ride of out of town was silent, there wasn't even a song playing on the radio or cassette deck. They had already packed up their hotel before they had left and both were glad to be leaving this town once and for all, even if the younger's mind was also occupied by the events that had happened there.
They drove for four hours before Dean pulled over. The two brothers easily set up a pyre with the clown as it middle. After making sure that it would burn Dean returned from the vehicle with the final ingredients: gasoline and salt. He backed away from the two items as Sam stepped forwards. Sam was glad that Dean wasn't fighting him on this. He took the gasoline and splashed in liberally over the wood and Am-heh's body. He splashed it more than it really needed to and knew that due to the amount of accelerant he was using they were probably going to have to stand for around for a while. Thankfully they were in the middle of nowhere so no one should be around. He threw down the gasoline can when there was no more gas in it and picked up the salt. He shook it over the area liberally as well but not nearly as much as the gas. Sam looked to his brother and held his hand out for the lighter. Dean after a moment handed to him. Sam walked to the pyre and grab one of the sticks that he hadn't drenched and walked back to Dean. It took a few times for him to light it but he did and because the stick was made of dry wood it caught on fire fairly easily. He threw the stick onto the pyre, and watched it explode into a steady fireball.
"Woah, how much gas did you use on that thing?!" he heard Dean yelled alarmed from the side of him but he didn't look at his brother, instead he kept his attention on the fireball. Am-heh was burning. He wouldn't be able to come back. He would never be able to hurt him again, he was gone...but everything that happened wasn't. Peter and everyone else that had died weren't suddenly undead and there was nothing that he could do that about that. Move on. It was Peter had told him to do and that's what he knew that he had to do, however moving on was always easier said than done. He turned to his brother who was still looking at the orange angry flames.
"It's going to be okay. Just tell me that it's going to be okay. I need you to tell me that it's going to be okay whether or not you believe it." Dean's eyes scanned his own for a moment but he said.
"It's going to be fine Sam. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, maybe not a month from now but it will be okay," Sam nodded at him with a small tight smile on his face; it was what he needed to hear most.
"Thanks,"
"I got a new case," Sam said. He had been looking for cases since they had left the pyre and gotten a new hotel. Unfortunately, Lucifer had come back on the car ride to the new hotel so due to both Lucifer and his thoughts about the events in Pleasant Grove he had wanted to get working as soon as possible. He handed what he had to Dean who looked it over briefly, he nodded and amended his last statement.
"Or rather it looks like it's connected to one of our old cases," Dean nodded after he finished reading what Sam had given him.
"Coeur d'Alene, at least it's not far." Sam nodded his agreement.
A/N: All right this is the end. Sorry it took so long from start to finish, but at least, it's done now. Thanks so much to everyone who has read this and I hope you enjoyed it :)
