One common approach to entity movement is by using "steering behaviors". These are techniques that can be used to generate a wide variety of movement and behavior, from simple ones like "chase" and "flee" to more complex ones like "flocking" and "formation".

Below is a link to a series of good tutorials on implementing these. The one you'd like to use is called "flee".
