A frozen December

Even though Xander knew it was merely a memory and the Leena he saw lying on the floor wasn't the real one, he could not stop himself from rushing to her aid.

"Leena? What the hell happened?" he cried out, trying to find a way to stop the bleeding. All out of options, he used what was at hand and tied his kerchief around the wound. "Please open your eyes, Leena. I can't let you leave…again."

Against his better judgment, Xander put his hands under Leena and picked her up from the ground. Lifting her in his arms, he rushed to the door.

"Is anyone home? Leena's cut herself. She needs a doctor!" he shouted, but to no avail.

There was no response from the other side. All Xander could hear were the raised voices of Leena's parents. They were quarreling with each other over Leena's choice of career and it sounded like Leena's father was blaming her mother for everything.

"Are you guys fucking deaf?" Xander shouted once more, kicking the door down.
