Sometimes you just have to pretend you didn't see that thing you saw, even if it clearly saw you and is now turning away from the corpse it was hunched over. In times like this you have to slowly check your watch and gently exclaim "Oh look at that, I'll be expected back soon. I should start heading back now."
Feigning ignorance is the oldest, and possibly the worst, trick in the book but there will be days where it is the only trick you have. Combine this with the verbal 'realisation' that people know where you are and where you should be and you should be able to make it out of most of life's unexpected dangers.
When all else fails though, a good scream generally does it. If it isn't scared of you then give it a damned good reason to be and make it reconsider if the benefits of killing you are outweighed by how off-putting you are being. When played correctly it might even start to believe you aren't human either and therein lies safety.
