Should she follow her?

Against better judgement, yes

Pulling to the side of the road and putting the car in park, Claire hops out and peers off in the direction that she saw the girl run. There's no sign of her now, but she has a pretty good idea of the direction the girl was headed, and she couldn't get very far barefoot...

Questioning her decision every step of the way, Claire trudges into the underbrush after the woman, calling out as she does.

“Hey! Are you okay? Do you need me to call the cops?” Shoot, she thinks as she says this. She definitely left her phone in the car. Oh well, it was too late to turn back and grab it without losing the girl.

Up ahead she sees movement; another flash of pale skin contrasts sharply against the dark green foliage of the forest. Claire corrects her course finding it difficult to navigate through the thick bushes and branches. How in the hell is this girl making progress without any protection at all.

Finally, she can hear the rustling of sticks and leaves up ahead. The girl hasn't answered a single one of her calls yet, but the fact that Claire can hear her movement means she must have heard Claire shouting. The whole situation is starting to seem very strange to her when she pushes through a line of trees into an opening, stopping in her tracks at the sight in front of her...

What's next?
