You tried, now you have to save your own ass.

Knowing that you couldn't help her further even if you try, you instead turn and head in the other direction.

You've barely covered a dozen yards before your worst fears are realized. Maybe a hundred yards a head of you, you can see a man coming straight at you. Tall and fair skinned, his long legs draw him towards you with a ground eating pace.

You slow suddenly, looking to both sides for a way to escape. To your right, you see a second man, also heading towards you. Shorter than the first but more powerfully built, the sun bronzed man is moving at a slower pace, but is considerably closer than the tall man.

Not liking her chances, she realizes she has only two possibilities for escape: Back the way she came, past the woman she tried to warn and the man who was chasing her, or to the left, out over open fields where the physically fit men will have a significant advantage over her.
