Honestly I think the whole corrupt huntress thing is what direction they are (temporarily) going with Blake. She hardens herself, and slowly devolves into more and more of a monster like a certain....'friend'...of her's. Why else would Blake just simply run away! To go be a vigilante on her own. But the more time she does that the more like a merciless monster she becomes, but still believes she's doing the right thing. However, by the time Ruby, Nora, Yang, and the others finally find and confront her, she is on the very edge of no return, almost becomeing like Adam. I'm pretty sure Blake ran away for the same reason that someone (don't remember who) speculated that Blake would run away: Adam.

Blake is terrified that if she stays around the people she cares about, Adam will kill them. She thinks that, in order to protect them, she has to get away from them and find a way to deal with things on her own. She doesn't want to see the people she loves get hurt, like what happened to Yang. She blames herself for that. Remember how she was crying and apologizing to Yang? She feels that it's her fault that Yang got hurt.

That's why she left. She thinks that if she stays with her friends, she's going to bring them nothing but pain and death.
