31! 31! 31!

by Beer Good

Took up a challenge: There's 31 days in January, I've got a list of 31 Buffyverse characters to write, that's one 100 word drabble every day the whole month. Will I manage it? And will they be any good? Only one way to find out. Jan 31st: YAY! Complete!

15. Daniel Holtz

He Who Fights Monsters Must See To It...

The pain feels like justice. Two holes, like those in his wife's and daughter's necks.

Holtz kills monsters. It's what he does. It's what he's sworn to do.

"Papa, no! Please, no, papa! Papa, don't. Let me go!"

Watching the Thing that was his daughter burn, every night for 240 years. Teaching himself to hate. Justice.

"Take him."

18 years in hell, teaching Stephen to hate. Justice.

Justine is crying. He knows what it's like to kill what you love, but justice must be served.

"Again. Again!"

Justine kills monsters. It's what she does. It's what she's sworn to do.
