I think it sounds like a really good story,

and I also think it would be better if they stayed put and dealed with their situation, because to me it seems like the story will get "cut off" if they run away. But if you feel that it feels better for them to run, then you should write it like that - it is your story. In that case you should make a very good and interesting ending, I think.

So, there. :]
