She kept running... until she bumped into somebody she didn't see because she was looking behind herself.
"Watch where you're going, kid."
"Please help me! Hide me! They'll kill me!" Then she saw that the person she'd bumped into was a teenager... and there was a girl about her own age walking with him.

The teenager smiled - a scary grin. "Okay, that gives me a reason to help her."
Further writing on this will have to wait until I actually read the book...
