Here it goes: "Halt! You can't flee from us". Note that "you" here is plural.

Although it's not important:"Stop! You can't avoid us."

So, the thing is really either it is "avoid" or "run away"? More than that, is it present or future tense of the verb? It is not one and the same!

In my dictionary I found following meanings for Italian word "sfuggire" - escape, slip, slip out, shirk, avoid . Choose what you like

Dictionary is cool, but native speaker, I think, could chose a definite meaning from context

So, what about the tense of the verb?

From my pont of view better escape or avoid in the meaning "to keep away from" but I'm not native speaker
