They do not catch her in the next few minutes. 

She runs through the forest for another hour, stumbling on the uneven ground and veering away whenever she sees fields or houses through the trees.  Sometimes there are trails, but they inevitably lead toward the edge, which is not what she wants at all, so even if she was willing to risk them they wouldn't do her much good. 

She nearly runs into another castle, because for some reason they let the forest grow almost up to the walls.  (Maybe it's abandoned?  It doesn't look in good repair, if she stops to look, but she probably doesn't.)

She is absolutely not stopping to look. She is getting away from this castle as fast as she can.

...It might not be very fast. She knows her legs can move faster than this but for some reason they aren't.

She trips on a root hidden in the undergrowth and falls, scraping her hand bloody against the sharp bit of a fallen branch. 

Ow!!!

She should... probably do something about that... but she doesn't really have anything to do it with. In school they wash off injuries with salt water, but she doesn't have very much water, or any salt. Can she find... a leaf or something... to at least wipe off some of the blood, so she won't be bleeding everywhere?

Plenty of leaves, yes, but new blood keeps welling up as she wipes it.  It's slow bleeding, not enough to be dangerous, but enough to mark her trail if she doesn't wrap it up in something absorbent.

She has her clothing and her rucksack and nothing else that would remotely qualify. She doesn't really like the idea of cutting up either of those, but it's better than leaving a trail of blood. She takes out her knife and cuts a strip of fabric from the top edge of her rucksack.

That works.  And then?

She wraps up her hand and attempts to keep going in the same direction she was going before.

She can do that.  She has to cross another road, but a smaller and currently empty one.  There's another big cross next to it, this one without anyone on it, with some containers of flowers underneath.

She's still pretty confused about the crosses but she's not inclined to stick around and try to figure them out. (Maybe they aren't even related? ...Maybe this cross is for actually executing people, and the other one was a threat?)
