What does "slip away" mean in this sentence?

[eggcracker]

I had seen sentences include "slip through" before I saw "slip away". So I can understand the sentences with "slip through". But I don't know the exact use of "slip", and I can't find proper explanation about "slip away" in the dictionary. The sentence confusing me is like this,"No longer these protohorses could slip away through thick forest when danger threatened." Give me some explanations about meaning of "slip away" above the sentence.
And I tried just two sentences to understand the "slip away" and "slip through".
Check these sentences below whether it's correct.
A.Sand particles slipped through my fingers.
B.Sand particles slipped away my fingers.
C.It keep slipping through my fingers.
