A/N: Hey again! Here is another one. In this one, the song maybe upbeat and annoyingly catchy, but the fic was...kinda fun to write. Anyways, in this one, let assume that Caroline knows about the vampires and stuff, it just makes the plotline easier. Anyways, enjoy!

You Owe Me An IOU- Hot Hot Heat.

Crowley/Caroline/Elena

He was in the habit of taking things for granted.
Granted, there wasn't much for him to take.
And the only thing constant was the constant reminder he'd never change.

'' I can't stand Damon anymore.'' Caroline muttered to her friend, Elena gave her friend a sympathetic glance as the cocky vampire walked by, giving both of them a wink.

'' I know Care,'' Elena said, squeezing her friend's shoulder, '' just bare with him.''

'' No, seriously, Elena. He just takes and expects to give nothing back in return. I wish there was a way to...make him see.'' Caroline growled, looking at her friend. Then her eyes lit up with an idea. '' Elena, come see me at my house later!'' She ran off, feeling giddy at the idea she had planted in her head.

Tight fisted with his compliments, it didn't seem to bother him.
that talk is even cheaper told in bulk.
And the only thing constant was the constant reminder.
He'd never change.

'' You're kidding.'' Elena said, blinking. Caroline had just explained her idea to her. Elena shook her head, '' I don't even think there is such a thing.''

Caroline stood, grabbing a box from her dresser. '' Well, I think we should find a crossroad and see if there actually is a thing. I mean, come on Elena, Bonnie's a witch, Stefan and Damon are vampires. Why can't one exist?''

Elena shook her head, watching Caroline fish around for her drivers license, she quickly turned and walked out the door.

Elena walked behind Caroline, '' I seriously doubt that there is such a thing as a ' Crossroad Demon'''

And so she yelled at him:
You owe me an IOU - owe me an IOU.
You owe me an IOU.
Don't think that I'll forget.
You owe me an IOU - owe me an IOU.
You owe me an IOU.
Don't think that I'll forget.
I know what I should get this time.

The two girls drove down a dirt road, they finally reached a part in the road where four roads met. Caroline parked her car and looked at Elena.

'' I wonder if we did enough research on this.'' Elena said, looking at Caroline.

Caroline smiled, '' I have read up on it, so I say lets give it a try.''

Elena sighed, watching as her friend got out of the car. Elena followed suit and both were standing in the middle of the road. Caroline bent down and dug a small hole with her hands.

'' I think this is a bad idea.'' Elena muttered.

Caroline sighed, '' I know what I'm doing. And besides, Damon owes me a fucking huge IOU.'' She stuck her license in the box before placing it down in the hole then quickly burying it.

She was in the habit of reapplying makeup.
Makeup eaten up by crocodile tears.
And the only thing constant was the constant reminder she'd never change.
Overtly individual - covertly traditional.
She couldn't seem to make up her mind.
And the only thing constant was the constant reminder she'd never change.

Elena looked around, glancing at Caroline every now and then. She felt sick, like she wanted to just bend over and throw up her supper. Her heart was beating fast, pounding against her rip cage. Her mind kept chanting at her.

Badidea. Runaway. Stopher. TURNBACK.

Caroline sighed, '' hm. I-I think you might be right Elena.'' She shook her head, '' it was a stupid idea anyways.''

Elena opened her mouth to comfort her friend but was interrupted.

'' Giving up so soon?''

The two girls turned around, looking confusedly at the new person who had just appeared. He smiled at both of them, his hands in his pockets of his suit. Elena felt a shiver roam down her back, Caroline looked almost fearless as she spoke up.

'' Are you the crossroad demon?''

He chuckled, '' I'm not just a crossroad demon. I'm the king of the crossroads, lucky you that I was working this road tonight.''

Caroline seemed to beam at the thought, '' well, I was wondering if we could make a deal with you.''

Elena shook her head, '' oh, no no no. I-I was just joining her for some support. I don't want to make a deal.''

Caroline seemed to glare at her. The demon only shrugged, '' well, what kind of deal did you want to make?''

And so he yelled at her:
You owe me an IOU - owe me an IOU.
You owe me an IOU.
Don't think that I'll forget.
You owe me an IOU - owe me an IOU.
You owe me an IOU.
Don't think that I'll forget.
I know what I should get this time.

'' There is this guy.'' Caroline stated, '' he is a real prick, and I just wanted the world to come back and kick him in the ass.''

The demon looked thoughtful, '' so, you want me to make sure that he gets his just desserts?''

Caroline nodded, '' I know he maybe a prick, but please make the payback non deadly.''

He smirked, '' and do you know what I want in return?''

Caroline shook her head, looking confused. Elena felt the sick feeling stir up in her stomach again.

He only shrugged, '' I make sure dickhead has the world bite him in the ass, and you come and see me again in...how does ten years sound?''

'' Ten years?'' Caroline drawled out, '' that...that seems alright.''

Elena grabbed her friends arm, '' Caroline. Seriously? Can you, like, think about this for a minute.'' Elena lowered her voice, '' I don't trust him. I mean it's almost too good to be true, you know?''

Caroline rolled her eyes, '' I think it'll be fine. Damon's not dieing. All I have to do is see him again in a few years, and then it'll all be okay.''

Oh... Is it real? I don't know.
But, I'll act as if it is.
What's our deal? I don't know.
But, I'll act as if it is what I think that it is.
If it is, then this might just work.

Elena had a feeling that Caroline was walking into something that she, really, had no idea what she was walking into. She watched as the two sealed the deal with a kiss.

Well, more like tonsil hockey.

Elena looked away, she would have to research this more later. She looked up, '' you know, you practically made out with my friend, yet, we don't even know your name.''

Caroline looked up at him, backing away so she could stand beside Elena. The demon just smiled and walked away.

They were in the habit of taking things for granted.
Granted, they never quite knew what they had.
And the only thing constant was the constant reminder they'd never change.

Elena sat on her bed, laptop open in her lap and her phone pressed against her ear. Damon was telling her how he and his brother seemed to be getting evicted from their home.

Elena looked confusedly at her far wall, '' from your home?''

'' Yeah.'' Damon sounded really pissed off, '' then some Repo men came by and took my car- just mine, not Stefan's.''

Elena wasn't sure if to laugh or freak out.

'' And now I just found out all of my bank accounts have been terminated.'' He growled into the phone. Elena raised her eyebrows while typing in the words ' king of crossroad demon's'. Then she sighed when she didn't come up with anything.

'' Elena? Are you even listening?''

Elena blinked, clicking on a page. And skimming over the page, stopping at one passage. She seemed to freeze, two words seemed to jump out at her.

Soul Collectors.

'' Can I call you back?'' Elena asked, hanging up without hearing Damon's reply.

And so they yelled out loud:
You owe me an IOU - owe me an IOU.
You owe me an IOU.
Don't think that I'll forget.
You owe me an IOU - owe me an IOU.
You owe me an IOU.
Don't think that I'll forget.
I know what I should get.
Yeah I know what I should get this time.

Caroline got a phone call from Elena later that night, she sounded scared out of her mind. Caroline shook her head, moving up to her room.

'' Whoa, whoa, slow down Elena. What's going on?''

'' Caroline, you have to listen to me. You remember the demon last night?''

'' The one I made out with? Yeah.'' Caroline said, making a face.

'' I think there is a big thing you forgot to look into.''Elena said in a fast mess.

'' What is it?''

'' Crossroad Demon's collect souls, and the send them to hell or something.''

Caroline seemed to freeze, '' you mean...''

'' Caroline, when he wants to see you in ten years, he means you will be going to hell.''

Caroline covered her mouth, '' b-but, what if I don't give him my soul? He can't have it!''

'' He already has it, Care. That's the thing. You gave it to him when you kissed him.''

Caroline just stood in her bedroom, tears pooling in her eyes. She dropped her phone and just shrieked.

Somewhere far from there, Crowley was chuckling.
