* This is based on the Lego franchise Ninjago, you can interpret these characters however you wish, whether that mean you're imagining actual Lego figures or humanized versions of characters, however there are non-human characters such as anthropomorphic ones which can easily exist in the show. 

A couple were running through the forest as fast as they could, the sound of crunching leaves followed them, it was pitch black and the fog was thick, the only light being from the moon and even then the light was cut up by the trees. The two were running for their lives. A loud screech could be heard from the distance, then a crash. Something was chasing them, it was getting closer. There also seemed to be voices, multiple of them, it sounded like men using their dogs to hunt. One of them tripped over the root of a tree, a loud crack was heard from her leg. 

"Are you hurt?! Fuck!" The other cried, she picked up her partner and tried to go as fast as she could. Their chaser was getting closer, it was jumping through the trees like a primate, using its long tail to grip onto the trunks. It had these menacing eyes, no pupils, they were white and glossy orbs. It looked like it had no soul or heart. It was simply just an entity
The two eventually found a cavern and went to hide inside. They hid behind a large rock which was quite far in but still close enough to see the outside of the cave. 
"Olivia just get down! It'll probably see you!" Whispered the injured girl.
"Oh It'll be fine Lobby... It'll most likely go rushing past.." Olivia whispered back.
Shouting could be heard when suddenly the creature jumped down and in front of the caves entrance, sniffing the air. It had a slender body and seemed to walk on both four legs and two legs. It had long and sharp claws with a long coat of scruffy fur along its back. The facial features were quite hard to make out, the only thing standing out being those soulless eyes.
Lobby was now shaking, she wasn't looking but she could hear the cold and raspy breath of the monster as it searched for their scents. Gottem. The animals claws could be heard tapping on the ground as it walked close. Olivia then noticed a small hole in the cave, she tapped Lobby's  shoulder and pointed to it. 
"Go.... I'll be fine.. I'll find a way out and we can meet up at home somehow.. It'll be okay" Olivia hugged her and gave her a kiss on the head. 
Lobby cried and knew she wouldn't be able to challenge Olivia so slipped through the hole, it was rather deep. Olivia plugged it with a larger rock and just hid, even though she knew it was the end. 
The creatures head twisted around the side of the rock, locking eye contact right with Olivia. It had spines on its face, a bunch of metallic and installed parts on its face, a jaw full of teeth with 4 tusks, it seemed to be drooling too. Olivia closed her eyes as she prepared for her death. 
Lobby could hear the noises of the creature as it slowly opened its jaw, it made these bizarre clicking and vocalizations. Right before the animal could tear Olivia's head off, the men threw ropes and a muzzle onto it, keeping it secure. 
Olivia stood up shaking. "You're... You're here to save me?" She whimpered. 
"What ever gave you that idea..?" One of them said. She was shot with a dart and she slowly fell to the ground and into a deep sleep. Lobby could hear the thud her body made as she slammed down onto the ground. She tried not to wail or make a noise, holding her hands right to her mouth, not even wanting to breathe to ensure her survival. 
"Hey wasn't there two?" Shouted one of the many men. 
"Who cares, we got the strong lookin' one anyways" 
Eventually silence, they had all left along with the monster, leaving Lobby hiding in darkness as she cried away. She stayed in that cave for hours, unsure of what to do, whether she should leave or stay, unknowing of her future. She was too frightened to even leave and get help, not that it'd be of any use. Eventually some people had walked by, clearly enjoying the nice day and beautiful forest. Lobby cried out and ran to them. 
"You need to hel-help me my,, MY girlfriend she was taken , taken away by some monster thing and some people please just help take me out of this place" She fell to the floor and cried, looking frantically around and at the two. 
"I told you lots of crackheads come to this place to get a fix, let's go." Said the male, taking his friend with him. 
She sat down on the floor, staring down and just letting the tears flow. She sat there for a good 10 minutes, she was just absolutely lost, both literally and mentally. Without her partner she was nothing. In the distance a voice could be heard, it was a rather odd accent and it was unintelligible from the distance Lobby was at. She lifted her head up to try and see who it was, she saw this strange figure with a hood and shawl, carrying some bags. The figure had this fat tail that dragged on the floor, leaving a oddly shaped trail behind her. 
Lobby thought about going to ask for help, thinking whether she'd be more at risk staying where she was or going to ask freaky people in the forest for help. She went with the latter.
