Oh no, poor Pepper! That must have been very scary for her, and she is probably very stressed out by it. It's good that she is ok and safe, and I would leave her be for now. Make sure she has plenty of food and water, and is kept warm and comfortable. Should she still be acting funny in the morning, then I would take her into a vet for a health check. Good luck, I hope this helps and she feels better soon :-)
